James Cameron's 'Avatar' was the big winner at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards taking home prizes for Best Motion Picture Drama and Best Director.

The film has been atop the box office for five straight weeks, and is the second-highest-grossing film ever with $1.61 billion dollars worldwide. 'Avatar' should overtake the top spot of Cameron's previous blockbuster, 'Titanic,' which grossed $1.84 billion.

In her role as the mom-from-hell in 'Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire,' actress and talk show host MoNique was a double winner this past weekend as she won a Best Supporting Actress award from The Critic Choice Movie Awards, then followed it with another one from Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the Globes.

The Golden Globes are considered a major pre-cursor to the Academy Awards
.
In her acceptance, MoNique said: "Everybody kept asking me do I know my speech, and I said, 'No, I don't know what I'm going to say because I don't want people to think I just know I done won something,' so no, I don't know! When I tell you all I am in the midst of my dream and when I look into the eyes of the man I stood next to at 14 years old and I said to him, 'One day we're going to be stars, and he said, 'You first.'"

Mo'Nique said. "And we walked this red carpet together tonight. Sidney, I will love you more than you will ever know, baby. I celebrate this award with all the Preciouses, with all the Marys -- I celebrate this award with every person that's ever been touched. It's now time to tell. And it's okay."
