The Second Annual Fletcher Globes

The envelope please..............and the winner is...............
(Remember, I do movies first because you HAVE to save TV for last. It is the best.)

Supporting movie Actor: Sir Anthony Hopkins (Fracture) over Vince Vaughn (Into the Wild) Christian Bale (3:10 to Yuma) Russell Crowe (American Gangster) John Krasinki (License to Wed) Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad). Hopkins has the genius villain down to a science by now

Supporting movie actress Amanda Bynes (Hairspray) over Michelle Monaghan (Gone Baby Gone) Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical 2), Jessica Biel (I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry) Ellen Barkin (Ocean's 13) Cheryl Hines ( Waitress). Those other people didn’t stand a chance. WHAT A GIRL WANTS BABY! Though Michelle Monaghan prolly would have won any other year.

Reality TV "Actor" Grant (Newport Harbor) over Brody (The Hills) Isaac (RW:S), Domenico (A Shot at Love) Though Domenico will soon get his own show and Isaac will be a feature on RR/RW challenges, Grant gets this Globe for his awesomeness. Seriously. Domenico gets his own show after “Little Italy” was eliminated in the final 5? Grant needs HIS own show. But not a dating show. The guy doesn’t need one. He is straight out pimp. PS, Isaac, if you hadn’t left for three episodes, this race would have been closer.

Supporting TV Actress: Olivia Wilde (House & Black Donnelly's) over Michaela Conlin (Bones) Sara Ramirez (Grey's Anatomy) Amy Brennamen (Private Practice) Lisa Edelstein (House). Olivia gets it for appearing in two shows. Good for her. I certainly hope though she is IN on House now, and they don’t go back to the old “team”

Supporting TV Actor: Rainn Wilson (The Office) over Riggins/Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights), Keith Nobbs (The Black Donnelly's) Dominic Purcell (Prisonbreak) Paul Adelstein (Private Practice). Dwight is an amazing character, so much better than his British counterpart. But Rainn Wilson won’t ever be anything BUT Dwight because he is so good. Therefore, we honor him. Riggins is slowly turning into the second best story-line on FNL over Smash and Saracen. Just is.

Breakout TV Actor: Isaac RW: Sydney over Jonathan Tucker (The Black Donnelly's), and Grant (Newport Harbor). Though Grant is straight out pimp, Isaac will be entertaining us in Duels and Challenges and Gauntlets for years to come.

Breakout TV Actress: KaDee Strickland (Private Practice) over "Hey Girl Hey" girl from Shot at Love, Elizabeth Reaser (Grey's Anatomy). I think she is under-the-radar hot and that accent is nice. Plus she is the foil that show needs. A light touch of evil for the feelgood staff at the Private Practice.

Drama Male movie Actor: Matt Damon (Bourne Ultimatum) over Ryan Gosling (Fracture) Don Cheadle (Reign Over Me), Russell Crowe (3:10 to Yuma), Denzel Washington (American Gangster). Gosling was a little over his head going up against Sir Anthony Hopkins. Matt Damon was bourne to play this role. Get it? The play with words there? HA. THIS is why I have my own awards ceremony. Wait, with all of these jokes, maybe I should be on strike too?

Drama movie Actress: Hilary Swank (PS I love you) over Kirsten Dunst (Spiderman 3) Keira Knightley (Pirates....3) Mila Jovovich (Resident Evil 3) Lindsay Lohan (I Know Who Killed Me). You thought I’d give it to Lohan? Or a star from a movie that has been milked for 3 films? Come on. But this time she remembers to thank Chad Lowe, before realizing they broke up.

Comedy movie Actress Ellen Page (Juno) over Katherine Heigl (Knocked Up) Nikki Blonsky (Hairspray) John Travolta (Hairspray) Amy Adams (Enchanted) Keri Russell (Waitress). John Travolta originally won, but then during the acceptance speech, it was determined that he was a man, not a woman, thus DQ’ing him from the award. Ellen Page, a Canadian was then awarded the Globe because Canadians and homosexuals are the two funniest classifications of people in the world.

Comedy movie Male Actor: Michael Cera (Superbad) over Robin Williams (License to Wed) Hugh Grant (Music and Lyrics) Adam Brody (In the Land of Women). I liked the Evan character over the Seth Character. I thought he was a “smarter” funny. Plus he should get this award just for how he runs. I mean, he IS the fastest kid in the world.

Reality TV "Actress" Tila Tequila (Shot at Love) over LC( The Hills) Heidi (The Hills) Chrissy (Newport Harbor). Chrissy can’t speak in sentences over 8 words. LC lost it when she took Jason back. Heidi lost it when she became a douche (she used to be just a dumb character, but now she is smart and mean. The producers are confusing me as they play Michael Moore to her GW Bush. Is she as dumb from season 1 or is she an evil genius from season 3? Make up your minds!) Therefore Tila wins by default.

Movie Writing: Aaron Sorkin (Charlie Wilson's War) over Aaron Stockard & Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) Seth Rogan (Superbad). This is another by default. Aaron Stockard, you maybe should have won because you did all of the writing while Affleck just smoked pot on the couch and farted. And Seth Rogan, that movie was extremely funny, but come on. Aaron Sorkin. He wins. Always.

Television Writing: NONE! I was going to nominate the writers from The Office Studio 60 (Aaron Sorkin) Friday Night Lights and Private Practice, but since you are striking, you don't get awards! Take THAT!

Actress TV Comedy: Jenna Fischer (The Office) over Samaire Armstrong (Dirty Sexy Money) Pam is in a class all by herself. And NO, I DON’T count Desperate Housewives as a comedy, so THAT is why they aren’t in here


Movie Director: Greg Mottola (Superbad) over Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) Adrienne Shelly (Waitress) Robert Ben Garant (Balls of Fury). I can’t give an award to Affleck for positive acting. Plus I like the dance number at the beginning of Superbad. Props to him.

Actress TV Drama: Kate Walsh (Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice) over Glenn Close (Damages) Courtney Cox (Dirt), Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy), Emily Deschanel (Bones). I know, I thought Bones would have this one wrapped up, but Dr. Addison Sheppard swooped in and laid claim to this award. Bones is going to have to step her game up.

Actor TV Comedy: Steve Carrell (The Office) over John Krasinki (The Office) Ricky Gervais (Extras). Back to back baby! Steve Carrell makes whatever script in front of him funny. He gives it 110% even when BJ Novak is mailing it in.

Actor TV Drama: Hugh Laurie (House) over Kyle Chandler (FNL) Wentworth Miller (Prisonbreak) Dylan Walsh (Nip/Tuck) Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck) Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy). Laurie wins a tight one here. Kyle Chandler is great, but in some episodes his role is reduced-the downside of an ensemble show. Wentworth Miller was hurt by the show’s lighting. He is so handsome, he needs better lighting. As for the Nip/Tuck boys, they cancel each other out-much like I am afraid Knowshon and Stafford will do next season in the heisman race. Finally Pat Dempsey has the edge for next year for maybe FINALLY getting over Meredith. But we shall see

Reality TV Show: Newport Harbor over A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, Real World: Sydney, American Gladiator, Deal or No Deal, The Hills. This is the first real upset of the evening. Grant carried the show from a supporting role. He really needs his own show.

Breakout TV Show: Private Practice over The Black Donnelly's, Dirty/Sexy/Money, American Gladiators, Newport Harbor. True Newport Harbor gave us Grant, but Private Practice has replace Grey’s as Shondaland’s best show. The pilot episode that occurred during Grey’s was rough, but the regular series has been really good. Plus no Meredith Grey whining about personal issues that she REALLY needs to get over. You are semi-attractive, smart, a freaking DOCTOR, plus you have Patrick Dempsey. Life is good, quit being a little brat. Private Practice has Tim Daly! Plus there.

Comedy TV Show: The Office over Family Guy, Frank TV. Though I thought Jim should have stayed with Karen, but oh well. This season was a little slow though. It needs to be funnier. Maybe BJ Novak should not worry so much about starring in bit roles in Reign over me and start working more on this show

Best Movie Comedy: Superbad wins it over Juno, License to Wed , In the Land of Women, and Ocean's 13. Robin Williams in L2W made me want to stop watching. Seth Cohen in ITLOW was interesting, but I fear he is being typecasted. Michael Cera MAKES Superbad as does McLovin’ McLovin bailed!

Best Movie Drama: Gone Baby Gone over Bourne Ultimatum, Fracture, Into the Wild, 300, and Smokin' Aces. The REAL talent in the Affleck family is Casey. PS, Ed Harris and Marvin Freeman also star. I like the fact that they were trying for a twist ending, but too many twists maybe? Still really good though. Kudos!

Drama TV Show: Friday Night Lights over Grey's Anatomy, House, Nip/Tuck, Prisonbreak, Private Practice. FNL was the best written show on the air last year. This season has been rocky at times, but the characters are so relatable, the relations you cheer, sometimes weep over(not me, mind you, but some folks) The football scenes are a little dramatic, but that makes for interesting television. Kyle Chandler is the man. The show is funny. It is emotional. It is fantastic.

There we go. Congrats to all of the winners. For the losers out there, get the strike over with so you can go out there and try and win one next year. PS, no picket lines were crossed for this awards ceremony. Just so we all know.....
