"Babel" managed to beat out "The Departed," "Bobby," "Little Children" and "The Queen." I'm not surprised since the movie had the most nominations and was clearly embraced by the Hollywood Foreign Press. Assn. It will be interesting to see how this effects its Oscar chances. I think "Dreamgirls" might have the edge come Oscar time. I was in the interview room when "Babel" won and it was a surreal expeirence. I rushed in and leaned against a wall and noticed that standing three feet away were Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson! I'm wondering what the heck they were doing there as the 'Grey's Anatomy" cast was on stage. Then I notice Eddie Murphy right behind me. He's so small! But he's cool. Very cool. When the producer Larry Marks and director Bill Condon show up, I realize they are there to talk about winning for best picture-musical or comedy.
Jennifer looks a little tired. Beyonce is energized calling it "a beautiful night."
