Congratulations! Idris “Drisy” Elba And Octavia Spencer Make It Rain By Winning Their Golden Globes, Morgan Freeman Honored For Lifetime Achievement

Yay! Our boo Drisy won him a Golden Globe!!! This year had to be one of our favorite Golden Globes. Not only did our favorite man banger pick up an award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his role on “Luther” but our girl Octavia Spencer also won for Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for The Help . Morgan Freeman also picked up the Cecil B. DeMille for his lifetime body of work — definitely well deserved. We were a bit disappointed that Mary J. Blige missed out on winning Best Original Song for “Living Proof” the jawn she did for The Help . Madonna picked up that one instead, but we’re gonna post the video for “Living Proof” cuz we think it’s the perfect tribute for our Golden Globe winners anyway. Check out some pictures of the winners below: WENN More On Bossip!

The Cary Grant Gay Factor

“I’m going to suggest something radical: We’ll never know whether Grant was or was not gay, and it does not matter . What matters was that his image, for all its perfection, also had its points of flexibility — living intimately with a man for long stretches of time, doing cute man things together — that leaves the possibility open. Grant made millions of women swoon, and millions of straight men aspire to his likeness. But he also provided thousands of queer audience members with the hope that famous, successful, high-profile performers and homosexuality were not mutually exclusive, further suggesting straight, high-class masculinity as an elaborate masquerade.” [ The Hairpin ]

REVIEW: Angelina Jolie Makes a Bleak Bosnian War Romance with In the Land of Blood and Honey

In the Land of Blood and Honey isn’t actually Angelina Jolie’s first film as a director — that distinction goes to A Place in Time , a little-seen 2007 documentary showcasing life in different locations around the globe at the same moment, shot with the help of some of her famous friends, including Djimon Hounsou and Anne Hathaway. But like that film, Jolie’s narrative debut arrives surrounded by a halo of good intentions and the sense that celebrity is being used as the spoonful of sugar to make the didacticism go down.
