8:18PM: Class act John Lithgow wins a Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe for DEXTER. Claims “I’ve had the most wonderful time creeping out the entire country for the past six months.”

8:17PM: Has a Miss. Golden Globe ever amounted to anything? (Note: previous Ms. Golden Globe’s include Rumor Willis and Lily Costner)

8:11PM: Toni Collette wins a Best Actress in a TV Comedy Golden Globe for her work in UNITED STATES OF TARA. Showtime 1, HBO 0. Not that we’re keeping score or anything.

8:05PM: Nicole Kidman presents Mo’Nique with a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for PRECIOUS. But before she does, she takes a moment to give the obligatory shout-out to Haiti. Asking people to donate… in a dress that if sold, could probably feed an entire Haitian town. We’re just sayin’

8:01PM: For the record, it took the hilarious Ricky Gervais less than four minutes to get in two beautifully crafted shots at NBC. Starting with, “I’m not used to these viewing figures, let’s face it, neither is NBC.” Only to end his opening monologue with, “Let’s get on with it, before NBC replaced me with Jay Leno.”

7:31PM: With T-minus thirty minutes and counting we thought we’d commence the evening with a question: Just how many minutes do you think it will take host Ricky Gervais to make his first joke at NBC’s expense? We give ‘em five minutes! You?

  • Yay! ...For Sandra Bullock, Up, and Glee. But, especially for Sandra Bullock!!! :D

    Meryl Streep winning for Julie & Julia is a no-brainer even though the movie itself was just good, not great.

    Same for Robert Downey Jr. for Sherlock Holmes. Lackluster movie; impressive performance.

    Felt (500) Days of Summer fell just short of greatness, but I didn't see The Hangover, so I would have been good with (500) winning too.

    As for Best Screenplay, I only say District 9, but I'm still glad it did *not* win.

    Mixed feelings about James Cameron & Avatar. :[

    Too bad for Michael Emerson of Lost and Lea Michele of Glee (who deserves some kind of award somewhere). :(

    And, someone should pass a law that Drew Barrymore should never give an acceptance speech. I was in another room only half-listening to it, and it still got on my nerves.
  • forg,
    Thanks for the correction

    Amy D,
    You are not alone. Enjoyed AVATAR, LOVED UP IN THE AIR

    Josh Emerson,
    Happy for the gang from GLEE but would have been equally happy to have anyone in the category (with of course the notable exception of ENTOURAGE) to walk away with the prize.
  • Josh Emerson
    I'm really excited to see Avatar win. I loved that movie.

    I'm not so excited by the Glee win. It's not a bad show but it's incredibly overrated. Modern Family, 30 Rock, and The Office are all so much better.
  • forg
    Overall happy for some "new" wins from Michael C. Hall and Glee :) Mad Men, Alec Baldwin and Toni Collete I know are good but there wins are just not that exciting.
  • Ace
    I'm learning how behind in movies I am. Apparently I need to turn off the TV and go to a movie theater. :-P
  • forg
    10:47PM: Jeff Bridges wins a Best Actor in a Drama Golden Globe for CRAZY HORSE.

    - You mean CRAZY HEART, right?

    I predicted the Hangover and Robert Downey Jr. win, the box office success is a factor but I was thinking NINE could have won if not for the major bad reviews it got.
  • Amy D
    O wow. Avatar won. Shocker. I think that was expected by most.
    Am I the only person out there who really wasn't that impressed by it?
  • Josh C.
    sally hawkins was in happy go lucky last year. wonderful movie
  • Alyssa
    I'm shocked that I was even hoping that (500) Days of Summer and/or Joseph Gordon-Levitt would win. Of course real talent is not going to win over big names like The Hangover and Robert Downey Jr. Of course, Robert Downey Jr. is a fantastic actor, but JGL totally deserved the award. And I don't even know where they were coming from by letting The Hangover beat out (500) Days of Summer. :/
  • Jamie
    Congrats to Sandra, she's a sweetheart. I HATED the Hangover, I would have rather had 500 days win :(
  • Jamie
    GLEE!!!!!!!!! So happy it won the Globe.
  • luke
    The following two award winners make the Golden Globes look like a joke. They're not recognizing talent, but rather pandering to the big studios and big named actors. There's no way The Hangover or Robert Downing Jr. Are even getting nominated for an Oscar.
  • Amy D
    Ugh :( Wanted Joseph Gordon-Levitt to win but I actually kind of liked Robert Downey Jr's speech.
    Yay for Sandra :)
  • May
    Was really hoping Joseph Gordon-Levitt would pick up the award for Best Actor. Oh well, Downey Jr. is good too.
  • Ace
    Sandra deserves the award for best acceptance speech this year.
  • Sam
    These people must be insane! The Hangover was insanely overrated, and (500) Days of Summer was easily one of the best films of the year.
  • Ace
    I haven't seen 500 Days yet but The Hangover was hilarious. Really happy for the Glee cast and I bet TVA is right about the Emmys.
  • Amy D
    Was really hopeing 500 Days of Summer would win :(
    But honestly The Hangover was my second choice so oh well.
  • luke,
    as someone who only saw THE HANGOVER in December, I was hugely disappointed and thought it was massively overrated. Would have much preferred to see 500 DAYS OF SUMMER or JULIE & JULIA to win.
  • luke
    What?!?!? The Hangover? Really?!? The Hangover was good, but not award winning good.
  • concernedcitizen
    glee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    so great that something so great was acknowledged for being so great.

    thanks tvaddict for keeping me up to speed.
  • forg,
    I think the Emmys will reverse things, with Jane Lynch getting recognized and MODERN FAMILY beating out GLEE.
  • Amy D
    Finally! An award to be happy about!
    So happy that Glee won :)
  • forg
    Well Glee won at least something new an well the category is the comedy/musical, the musical aspect is really good.

    I hope Modern Family will win bag an award at the SAGs (or better yet Emmys)
  • Ace
    forg -- I'm still holding out hope for Modern Family.
  • forg
    Aww Jane Lynch lost. So I guess 30 Rock will win again
  • Ace
    So sad that Jane Lynch didn't win. Esp after watching Chloe roll her eyes when her name was called...
  • Ace
    Yeah, Mad Men winning was probably the surest bet of the evening. Well maybe the whole Meryl v. Meryl thing gve that one away too... But WHICH Meryl would win??
  • forg
    So Mad Men wins again so would 30 Rock win again?
  • Jamie
    i bet no one saw Mad Men really, yeah right!
  • Jamie
    i completely agree with your forg. let's change it up a little.
  • forg
    ^ someone *new* was what I meant. Yeah, Steve could have been a good choice too
  • forg
    Well Alec won again, he is undeniably good but I was hoping someone to win although not Thomas Jane because Hung isn't funny IMO

    If only Jim Parsons was nominated
  • Jamie
    I would have loved to see his reaction too!
  • Jamie,
    I would have loved to see Steve Carell just so we could see Ricky Gervais' reaction.
  • Jamie
    Congrats to Alec, but I would have liked it to be Matt Morrison
  • Jamie
    Could Jen Aniston's slip be any higher up?
  • luke
    Ok so I got right all my predictions regarding Mini-Series nominations, but none of my TV related predictions have come true. But I haven't seen any of the mini-series that were nominated. Not a good night for me and the Golden Globes.
  • Jamie
    Super excited Julianna and Michael C. Hall won. I really hopes that Matt Morrison and Jane Lynch win.
  • Ace
    One of my goals in life is to look half as good as Helen Mirren when I reach her age.
  • Ace
    It is so awkward when they don't get the point w/ the music and it just gets louder as they keep talking...
  • luke
    Lol thanks. The order they're handing out the tv awards is confusing me.
  • Ace
    Yeah, why did they skip that one?
  • forg
    Luke, not yet
  • luke
    Did I miss something? Have they given the award for best supporting actress for tv.?
  • Ace
    Did anyone else think that Sir Paul was about to throw down?
  • forg
    Daniel & Ace: Yeah I also consider Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara more dramatic than comedic but well they're half hour show so I guess they consider it comedy.

    Yay for Michael C. Hall finally winning . and Juliana too although that was expected :D
  • Ace
    Yay! So happy that Michael C. Hall won! Does this mean Dexter has a chance for Best Drama?? Since they won both male acting awards.
  • Ace
    I feel like the Nurse Jackie role is more dramatic than comedic too. I really wanted Michael Emerson to win, but I haven't seen this season of Dexter yet. Really as long as it wasn't Jeremy Piven, I'm fine. :-P
  • Amy D
    Ugh.
    If someone doesn't give Neil Patrick Harris an award soon I'm gonna stop watching award shows altogether.
  • forg, agree that Toni Collette is great. But I would argue that her role is far more dramatic than comedic!
  • forg
    I thought Edie would win because she is Edie Falco but Toni is great in the multiple personality role although the show isn't really funny IMHO.
  • Ace
    Ahh how I love Ricky -- "Let's get on with this before NBC replaces me with Jay Leno."
  • forg
    Tina Fey: "It's not rain. It's just God crying for NBC"

    and the NBC mocking begins :D

    Anyway, I hope we see some "surprise wins" . I like 30 Rock but I hope Glee or Modern Family wins best Comedy. But I'm really crossing my fingers for Modern Family
  • I'm betting he'll open with a NBC joke :P
  • Ace
    I'd be shocked if it takes him 5 minutes :-P. I'm hoping he goes all out though.
  • ap
    I'm sure like me he's British and will talk about the rain!
