She was incredibly overwhelmed/shocked because she had been nominated 7 times, not yet winning. And the Golden Globes, they say, helps with your Oscar chances (she's never won an Oscar either), so it was all so new. The GG and Oscars are the biggest Award shows in the entertainmnt industry, to my knowledge. Hope that helps.

She's so cute! Hope she wins the Oscar this year (2009). She totally deserves it.

Joan Allen should have gotten this.

She reminds me a bit of the young Marilyn Monroe, when she was still Norma Jean and had reddish hair. Anyone else see it?
