And The Winner Is ... Anne Hathaway?
January 09, 2009 3:33 PM
The Golden Globe Awards don’t air until Sunday night, but a glitch on the show’s Web site may have let the cat out of the bag a few days early.
The award show’s site was updated Thursday to reflect Anne Hathaway as the winner for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Drama award, for which she is nominated for her role in "Rachel Getting Married."
A star was placed next to the actress’ name on the show’s online list of nominees – a symbol ordinarily used to indicate the winner in each category after the ceremony is held.
But instead of appearing after the envelope was opened and the statuette handed out, the site was prematurely changed to reflect Hathaway as the winner.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which organizes the Golden Globes, released a statement on its Web site chalking up the Hathaway win to an error by a member of the Web team.
“In the process of preparing for Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Web team inadvertently marked a nominee as a winner,” read the statement. “The mistake was immediately corrected.”
Approached by reporters on the red carpet at last night’s VH1 Critics' Choice Awards – where the actress did, in fact, take home the Best Actress award – Hathaway said she wasn’t thinking too much about the Globe gaffe.
“I think it was just a glitch,” Hathaway told "Access Hollywood." "I don’t really read into it and I don’t think anyone else should.”
Hathaway is nominated for Best Actress for her performance in "Rachel Getting Married" and is up against Angelina Jolie for "Changeling," Meryl Streep for "Doubt," Kristin Scott Thomas for "I’ve Loved You So Long" and Kate Winslet for "Revolutionary Road."

LOL, i saw this last night and kept refreshing the page! It's obvious that it was a mistake. She's a strong contender but that was nothing but a mistake.

pitiful choice. lousy movie, mediocre actress. fluff. Meryl Streep should forfeit her award for being considered as being on the same level as Hathaway.

When I saw this, I said; you've got to be kidding me?!! Then she opened her mouth and nothing but yadda yadda yadda came out. She has done some good things, but this? NAH! Nothing worth an award for, and we all know it!
