The 68th Golden Globe Awards were handed out by Hollywood Foreign Press Association last night in Beverly Hills, Calif. Since 1944, the Golden Globe Awards have been given out to “recognize excellence in film and television, both domestic and foreign.”“The Social Network” won the Golden Globe for Best Drama Film, beating out the other nominees – “Black Swan,” “The Fighter,” “Inception” and “The King’s Speech.”
“The Kids Are All Right” won the Golden Globe for Best Comedy/Musical Film. The other nominees were “Alice in Wonderland,” “Burlesque,” “Red” and “The Tourist.”
“Toy Story 3” won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film. The other nominees were “Despicable Me,” “How to Train Your Dragon,” “The Illusionist” and “Tangled.”
“In a Better World” won the Golden Globe for best Foreign-Language Film. The other nominees were “Biutiful,” “The Concert,” “The Edge” and “I Am Love.”
All of this got me to wondering about what other movies have received Golden Globes in the past and about how many I’ve had a chance to watch.
When the Golden Globes were first awarded in the 1940s, there was a single category for Best Picture. In 1951, the Golden Globes split the Best Picture awards into categories for Drama and Musical-Comedy. (The award was later re-combined for one year in 1953).

1943 – The Song of Bernadette
