6 Golden Globes

That's the number of trophies that Meryl Streep has won in the Golden Globe awards, tying Jack Nicholson for most awards that an actor has won (although Streep won her six in different acting categories). Of course, it helps that in the Golden Globes, you have a best actress in drama and another best actress in a comedy or musical. She just won her sixth trophy during Monday night's Golden Globe awards for her amazing performance in 'The Devil wears Prada'. Prior to that, she won Best Actress in a Drama for 'The French Lieutenant's Woman' and 'Sophie's Choice', Best Supporting Actress for 'Kramer vs. Kramer' and 'Adaptation', and Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-series or Motion Picture made for Television for 'Angels in America'. All in all, Meryl has been nominated a whopping 21 times. Only Jack Lemmon has gotten more with 22). Congratulations, Meryl!

Shout-outs also go out to:

• Helen Mirren, for winning two acting awards, one for Best Actress Drama for 'The Queen', and one for Best Performance by an Actress in a Mini-series or Motion Picture Made for Television for 'Elizabeth I' (and in fact she was competing with herself in this category as she was also nominated for her performance in 'Prime Suspect: The final Act')
• Forrest Whitaker, who won best actor for 'The Last King of Scotland' (anyone notice a royalty theme going on here?), beating out Leonardo DiCaprio "twice". Leo, like Helen, was competing against himself as well in the Best Actor, Drama category so I kinda felt bad that he didn't win - it actually is quite unfair because getting nominated twice in the same category means that people who want to vote for him will end up having to pick one of the other (I guess for Helen, one of her performances was much better than the other so all her voters ended up voting for her from the same movie)
• Jennifer Hudson for living up to all the buzz and taking the best supporting actress in a musical or comedy. She had huge shoes to fill (and I still think no one can play Effie White like Jennifer Holliday) but Hudson did manage to pull it off with flying colors.

Speaking of Dreamgirls, here's a HILARIOUS take by Jake Gyllenhaal on the Dreamgirls classic song 'And I'm telling you'

Now tell me that didn't crack you up? =)
