Heath ledger won another posthumous film award last night for his portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight, picking up the Best Supporting Actor at Sunday evening’s Golden Globes ceremony. Waltz With Bashir won the Best Foreign Language film and Wall-E took the Best Animated Feature Film category. The Golden Globes is often seen as a barometer for which way the Academy will swing when it comes to giving out the little Oscar chap in a few weeks.

On the TV front it was slim pickings for the fantastic genres at the Globes (after several years of shows like Lost, Galactica and Who trumping many TV awards lists we seem to be in a little trough for the genre as far as awards go at the moment) – The John Adams biopic mini-series again hogged the TV categories (as it has in several other awards, especially in the US), with the only show flying the flag for telefantasy being True Blood, which is based on Charlaine Harris’ lovely series of Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries (small town waitress with psychic powers has complicated relationship with Bill, a member of the recently outed vampire community now living openly in human society), which I have a bit of a soft spot for – The X-Men’s Anna Paquin took the Best Actress (drama) award for her role as Sookie.
