Oscar Predictions - The Golden Globes winners are said to be closer to that Oscar. In most cases, the Golden Globes winners go on to become Oscar winners. As predicted, the same may apply for the 2009 Oscars nominees. Here are some of the 2009 Golden Globes winners, Slumdog Millionaire (Best Motion Picture - multi-award winners in Best Director, Screenplay & etc. ); Kate Winslet (Best Supporting Actress - multi-award winner); Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight (Best Supporting Actor).

According to AOL movie news, Matilda, Heath Ledger's daughter will be given Heath's Golden Globe award, says Heath's mother. Rest assured that Matilda will not be playing Barbie with the Golden Globe, as most likely she will be making more room on her future shelf for daddy's Oscar to come.
