Cate Blanchett, who won the best supporting actress Golden Globe for her portrayal of Bob Dylan in I'm Not There, released a statement of gratitude after her win.
Just about every inspired film emerges out of some kind of obsession.

Toronto - Too many movies, not enough time. That's the dilemma confronting anyone, whether a critic or just a film fan, lucky enough to attend the annual Toronto International Film Festival.
The remake, starring Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, is an instant classic that just might start a western revival
For a good part of the last century, and certainly throughout Hollywood's golden age, the Western was a staple in any boy's imaginative diet. The lore was so deeply engrained, it seemed to stand for America itself.
Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley are among those expected to hit the red carpet at this year's Venice Film Festival, which kicks off Wednesday.
David Beckham, watch out: Russell Crowe's teaching his older son how to kick.
It has become almost meaningless to talk of "the year" in American film. The business is now more seasonal than the climate. No less than three of my top five choices were released within the last two weeks of December; such is the magnetic lock of the Oscar period.
He can deliver a knockout punch, command a ship of the line, or confound a corrupt Roman emperor while armed with little more than a handful of dust, but great Caesar's ghost, Russell Crowe can't do everything.
"It took a long time to figure out what the film was," says director Christopher Nolan of his latest, "The Prestige."
We think of magic as puckish, elegant, lighter than air, but in "The Prestige," an aggressively devious sleight-of-hand thriller directed by Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins), the magic, even at its most clever, is powered by currents -- sometimes literal ones -- of electricity and danger.
In "Batman Begins," director Christopher Nolan gets back to a deeper, darker vision of the Caped Crusader. It delves so deep into the hero's origins that, if anything, the movie loses some steam once Christian Bale actually dons the cape and cowl.
Did you know that if you film a scene, tell everyone to hold really, really still, shut off the camera, add a prop of some sort, and then turn the camera back on -- it looks like magic? It's true!
"This Is Spinal Tap" said it best: There's a fine line between stupid and clever.
"Batman & Robin," the fourth installment in the Batman franchise, hit theaters with a loud thud in 1997. It was a bad time for the Caped Crusader, whose movies had started out so promisingly. The winged warrior was at least on life-support -- if not downright down and out.
There's no confusing the wizards and goblins who populate the dazzling animated adventure "Howl's Moving Castle" with their relatives from Harry Potter's branch of the wiz biz.
