Jeff Bridges Golden Globes news - Jeff Bridges movies

Last night, the glitz and glamor of Hollywood was out in full force to celebrate some of the best work in film for 2009.

The 2010 Golden Globes awards saw The Hangover win the best comedy picture, Avatar win the Best Picture award, Sandra Bullock win Best Actress for "The Blind Side" and Jeff Bridges win the award for Best dramatic Actor. Jeff Bridges' Golden Globes award win now has many wondering if this means the actor will pick up his first Oscar award ever in 2010.

Jeff Bridges' movies roles have been wide-ranging and received critical praise before. Upon his victory of the award, Bridges received a standing ovation from his acting peers. He's been nominated three times prior for Golden Globes but never won, making this his first win. Additionally he's been nominated for the Oscar award for four films he's done; The Last Picture Show in 1972, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot in 1975, Starman in 1985 and The Contender in 2001.

Bridges' 2010 award win was for his role as Bad Blake, a country singer in the picture Crazy Heart. The character is a washed up country singer who is reduced to playing gigs in bowling alleys, while his former protege has become a major star. Eventually, Blake finds romance with a local news reporter played by Maggie Gylenhaal.

Jeff Bridges' Golden Globes win now has him in prime position for the bigger prize: the Oscar. Everyone will eagerly anticipate to see if Bridges picks up an Oscar nomination when the nominees are announced February 2nd. Other films Bridges has appeared in include The Big Lebowski, Seabiscuit, The Contender and 2008's hit superhero flick Iron Man.
