'Atonement' Captures Best Picture at Glitter-Less Golden Globe Awards

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - The tragic romance "Atonement" claimed the top honor at the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards, which were announced during a live press conference from Hollywood on Sunday.

"Atonement," the acclaimed adaptation of Ian McEwan's best-selling novel, claimed the coveted best picture prize. The British romantic drama also picked up a second award for best original score.

However, despite topping the list of Globe nominees with seven nods, the film failed to win any of the acting awards for its British stars Keira Knightley and James McAvoy.

Instead, Daniel Day-Lewis picked up best dramatic actor honors for his performance in the historical Western, "There Will Be Blood," in which he plays a baron of California's oil boom in the early 20th century whose commercial interests put him at odds with a young preacher.

Julie Christie was named best dramatic actress for her role in "Away From Her." In the film, the actress portrays a woman succumbing to Alzheimer's who forms a new attachment to a fellow patient that causes heartache for her steadfast husband.

"Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" was chosen as best musical or comedy. Johnny Depp, the star in the adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's stage musical, won for best actor in a musical or comedy.

Also winning two awards was the crime saga "No Country for Old Men," which earned the screenplay Globe for writer-directors Ethan and Joel Coen and the supporting actor honor for Javier Bardem.

Actors and filmmakers skipped this year's scaled-back Golden Globes because of the two-month-old strike by the Writers Guild of America, which had planned pickets outside the show if organizers had tried to do their usual televised ceremony.

Globe planners and NBC canceled the three-hour star-studded bash in favor of an hour-long news conference during which clips of film and TV nominees were shown and reporters from entertainment news shows announced winners.
