AWARDS SEASON

Golden Globes: Streep, Madonna, Beginners Take Home Awards

The Golden Globes doesn’t have quite the prestige as the Academy Awards, but with a laidback atmosphere—and an open bar—they just seem like a lot more fun. They certainly were for Madonna, who picked up a Best Original Song win for “Masterpiece.” Relish it, Madge—it’s probably the only award W.E. will get. (We kid!)
