"Walk the Line," story about country singers Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, won best movie in the musical/comedy category. And Joaquin Phoenix won best actor and Reese Witherspoon won best actress for their performances in the film. "Brokeback Mountain" came away with the top awards.
But...these choices do not necessarily represent America's picks...because the Golden Globes are awarded by 12 individuals from across the sea.
It all started in 1944 by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), a small bunch of journalists who "predict" the Oscars each year. According the New York Times, the HFPA "functions like an exclusive club, admitting a maximum of five new members a year, though more often accepting only one. Any single member may object to a new member, making it extremely difficult to join."
