Sundance at the Globes
Five of the winners announced at Sunday's truncated Golden Globes presentation were from movies that played at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival - and four of them were in the television categories.
The one motion-picture award that went to a Sundance film was in the Best Actress (Drama) category, for Julie Christie in "Away From Her." The film, in which Christie plays an Alzheimer's victim being put in a nursing home, was the Salt Lake City Opening Night gala film at Sundance '07.
Another Sundance '07 premiere, the HBO drama "Longford," won three Globes - for Best Miniseries or TV Movie, a Best Actor (Miniseries/TV Movie) win for Jim Broadbent, and a Best Supporting Actress win for Samantha Morton.
Last year's closing-night premiere, "Life Support" (also an HBO film), scored a Best Actress (Miniseries/TV Movie) win for its star, Queen Latifah.
