The movie “In Bruges” may have been classified by fans as boring compared to the other Farrell movies like Phone Booth but Farrell’s role in the movie has won for him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy category. Farrell, who plays the role of a hit man in the movie who gets a change of heart after a vacation in Bruges, bested other nominees including his In Burges costar Brendan Gleeson, Javier Bardem in Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Dustin Hoffman in Last Chance Harvey.

Farrell’s win was indeed the night’s biggest surprise but hearing his suave speech one would think he was actually prepared to win. Attributing his snorting to colds and not to something he has been fond of earlier in his career (Farrell got hooked on drugs and entered rehab for it), Farrell would do any Dubliner proud. The award may be a signal for Farrell’s breakaway from high-budgeted high-profile movies like Alexander, Miami Vice, Tigerland and S.W.A.T and onto acting pieces.
