"White Ribbon" wins Golden Globe for foreign film

BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) - German movie "The White Ribbon," about strange incidents in a small village on the eve of World War One, won the Golden Globe for best foreign-language film on Sunday.

The Golden Globe Awards are given out by some 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and a win here can give movies the momentum they need in Hollywood's race for Oscars, the world's top movie awards in March.
