It was one heck of a show. The rain couldn’t stop the parade of stars as they walk the red carpet for the annual 67th Golden Globe Awards. There was fashion and glitter and winners that have definitely gotten much applause from those both present at the ceremony’s venue and safe-from-the-rain-at-home viewers.

It is definitely undeniable how much attention the awards show has attracted. Golden Globe’s viewers increased 14 percent compared to last year’s numbers. This is definitely a great sign that they are really recovering from the effects brought by the 2008 Writers Guild strike as can be seen in their background check company.

Writers Guild strike was a conflict that affected television shows in the United States from 2007 to 2008 season. As a result the Golden Globes was reduced to news conference instead of a ceremony seen only by six million viewers. The following year, the awards show’s telecast got lower number of viewer which range only to 15 million compared to that of 2007 Golden Globes which gained 20 million viewers.
Critics say the increase in viewers is due to the featured films at this year’s awards. Background check on Last year’s show focused on drama like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button while the 67th Golden Globes features different varieties, from comedy to sci-fi drama. One film in particular, that caught massive attention and interest, was James Cameron’s The Avatar, which won this year’s Best Motion Picture in the Drama Category.

It seems that all films that entered the nomination that night deserve to win. This is something that will definitely find a person thrilled, especially if they are fans of Sandra Bullock. She got nominated for Best Actress twice that night although for two different films and two different categories (Comedy and Drama)—she won the title for the movie Blind Side which falls under the Drama category and lost the other for the movie The Proposal as Meryl Streep wins it for Julie and Julia.

Besides the biggest win of Best Movie, the Avatar also gives its creator a big applause as James Cameron won Best Director. The winning of the said movie, plus the gross it is presently earning as shown in its records search, clearly solidifies the expectations that The Avatar will definitely be one of the nominees for the upcoming Oscars this February 2.

The Golden Globe has definitely gone to a recovery from the said 2008 strike event. This time the excitement on who gets to bring home the bacon will continue this February 2 at the Oscars.
