FEW SURPRISES AT GOLDEN GLOBES: "THE ARTIST" & "THE DESCENDANTS" HEAD-TO-HEAD TO WIN OSCAR

Michelle Williams Backstage at 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards

The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards went down earlier this evening at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and there were few surprises to be found with Oscars Frontrunner The Artist winning Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical and its closest competitor The Descendants winning Best Motion Picture Drama.

The Artist also won for Best Original Motion Picture Score (Ludovic Bource) and Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy/Musical (Jean Dujardin), while The Descendants won Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Drama (George Clooney). Clooney upon accepting his award told fellow Nominee Michael Fassbender, "Thanks for taking over the frontal nudity clause" - referring to that one's daring performance in Shame. "If you want to go play Golf with your hands behind your back, go right ahead!".

Michelle Williams won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy/Musical for her outstanding portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn, while current Oscar favourite for Best Actress, the formidable Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady, won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama - her eighth Golden Globe. A humble Streep made note of some additional performances she felt were of note this year among her Peers, including Adepero Oduye's work in Pariah and Mia Wasikowska as Jane Eyre.  "In any other year they would be awarded", she told the audience.

Modern Family won Best Television Comedy or Musical for a third consecutive year, while Showtime's Homeland won two awards for Best Television Drama and Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Drama (Clare Danes).

INTERVIEW: KATHLEEN ROBERTSON ON "NOT SINCE YOU" & "BOSS"

Still from Not Since You

Easily one of Canada's most recognizable Actresses, Hamilton's own Kathleen Robertson just now might be hitting her best stride creatively. First getting her big break stateside on popular Young Adult fixture Beverly Hills, 90210 as Clare Arnold in 1994, Robertson returns home once again to promote her new Film Not Since You by Director Jeff Stephenson and also, recent Golden Globe-nominated series Boss, in which she stars alongside Kelsey Grammer. Robertson took a few moments out of her busy schedule to have an Edamame-fueled chat with Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven after a flight from Los Angeles.

"I'm sorry to be annoying, but do you have any Tylenol?", she asks her Publicist before we get into the Interview. Quickly, I go and fetch her some from the Hotel Gift Shop hoping secretly that this isn't her way of bailing-out a la horrific Blind Date. "You saved me", she says as I present the tube of pills to her, witnessing her bravely solder-on with my line of questions. She elaborates, "My leg is all bruised and my neck is killing me".

Just last week, Robertson and her Husband Chris Cowles decided to to go on a bike ride with their three-year-old Son William, when a bee suddenly stings her lip, causing a nasty spill on her end. Not one to let some bruises get in her way of looking her best at this Sunday's Golden Globe Awards, she is determined to find that perfect dress which will function to stun on the Red Carpet and also mask evidence of her recent fall. This of course is Robertson's first time attending the prestigious Affair, after what can be considered a long road to success dating back to her first-ever Feature from 1985, Left Out, a National Film Board of Canada production which still is shown in schools. "I'm thinking dark green", she reveals for her choice of dress colour, complementing her new blonde locks.
