BEVERLY HILLS, California--Johnny Depp earned the first Golden Globes award of his career Sunday, winning best actor in a musical or comedy prize for his portrayal of a cut-throat barber in "Sweeney Todd."
It was a case of eighth time lucky for "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Depp, who had been nominated at the Globes on seven previous occasions only to come away empty-handed.
Other nominees included Ryan Gosling for "Lars and the Real Girl," Tom Hanks in "Charlie Wilson's War," Philip Seymour Hoffman in "The Savages" and John C. Reilly in "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story."
