While the Golden Globes did not have the glitz and glamour it did in the past due to the WGA strike, the awards went on Sunday night as an hour long press conference. Out of the four leading actress winners (two categories in film and two categories in television), Julie Christie was the only truly petite actress (best performance by an actress in a motion picture - Drama). Marion Cotillard won for best actress in a comedy or musical PLAYED a very petite woman in the film La Vie En Rose (Edith Piaf was only 4'8" or 4'9"), but is actually over 5'6". As for television? The winners were Glenn Close (5'5") for drama and Tina Fey (5'4 1/2" - Tina, you just MISSED the petite club!! Sorry!) for comedy.
Congratulations, Julie Christie! Ms. Christie's win is showing that petite actresses can break from the comedy route and win in dramatic roles.
Now on to the OSCARS!!!
