Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon Cash in Golden Globes 

Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon both took home Golden Globe awards for their portrayal of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash in the film "Walk the Line."

Both were terrific in capturing the love affair of the country greats. Remarkably, both also did their own singing in the film and pull it off quite well. Duets like "Jackson" are particularly well done. Witherspoon is clearly a favorite now for the Best Actress Oscar and don't be surprised if Joaquin wins for Best Actor there too.

The film itself also took home a Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy. While their is plenty of music and some comedy in the film, neither dominates and the film is more of a drama than either of the former. Of course, if Walk the Line were nominated as a drama, that would have made it more difficult for insider favorite Brokeback Mountain to win in that category.
