11:02PM: NBC completely drops the ball as whomever accepted the award for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE totally drops the F-Bomb!

11:00PM: And at the stroke of 11PM, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE wins a much deserved statuette for Best Motion Picture Drama.

10:57PM: Mickey Rourke wins for Best Actor in Motion Picture Drama and thanks his dogs saying, “Sometimes when a man’s alone, all you got is your dog” Never one to pass up an opportunity to shamelessly pimp my dog, here’s a peak at the TV Addict’s adorable Goldendoodle ‘Mac’.

10:49PM: Twitter friend @BradInToronto wonders, “if Elisabeth Moss is giving Jeremy Piven dirty looks from the stage.”

10:46PM: MAD MEN finally slays the HBO juggernaut winning the Globe for Best Television Drama. Matthew Weiner gives a fairly uninspiring speech. But on the plus side, his price tag just shot up in the season three negotiations between himself, Lionsgate and AMC.

10:40PM: Shocker! Kate Winslet wins a second Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for REVOLUTIONARY ROAD. Who’s the king of the world now?

10:30PM: We’re going to have to disagree with Salma Hayek and Sandra Bullock who most definitely do not think presentor Sasha Baron Cohen is funny. VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA wins the Golden Globe for Best Comedy in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical.

10:20PM: Colin Farrell wins a Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy statuette for IN BRUGES.

10:14PM: Danny Boyle wins a Best Director “GG” (as he very affectionally calls the Golden Globes) for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.

10:01PM: Stephen Spielberg gets the Cecil B. DeMille Award and this TV Addict gets a blogging break. Phew.

9:48PM: Could Tina Fey have looked any less surprised to win her statue for Best Actress in a Television Comedy or Musical? How much do you wanna bet that she’d trade in her umpteenth award for a few million more viewers?

9:45PM: A. R. Rahman wins for Best Original Score for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.

9:35PM: 30 ROCK walks away with a well-deserved Best Comedy in a Television Golden Globe… while Tracy Morgan shoots down any chance of a future nomination by showing around 15 million viewers that when he ‘plays’ Tracy Jordan as an inebriated incoherent buffoon, he’s not acting (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

9:31PM: Paul Giamatti wins Best Actor in a Television Movie or Mini-Series Drama for JOHN ADAMS. We can barely contain our excitement.

9:28PM: Is Renee Zellweger dressed more like Cruella de Vil or a thin Ursula from THE LITTLE MERMAID?

9:21PM: Alec Baldwin wins for Best Actor in a Television Comedy or Musical and mentions that he feels old because he used to give Rumor Willis juices box on the set of his movies. Awkward silence, proving once again who the real heroes are, 30 ROCK’s writers.

9:20PM: Simon Beaufoy wins a Best Adapted Screenplay statuette for SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. One of this TV Addict’s Top 5 Movies of the year in case you’re wondering.

9:19PM: Who invited Ben Silverman and his life partner friend?

9:11PM: Laura Linney walks away with a Best Actress in a Television Movie or Mini-Series statuette for JOHN ADAMS.

9:08PM: Wait a second… Lauren Dern and Laura Linney are not the same person!

9:01PM: Hilarious comment shout-out from The Televixen “Drew Barrymore looks emaciated IMO. Give the girl a hot fudge sundae!”

8:58PM: Heath Ledger wins for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture, gets a rousing standing ovation. Classy.

8:56PM: As expected, JOHN ADAMS wins an Emmy for Best Television Movie or Mini-Series.

8:51PM: No, that’s not an Amy Whinehouse impersonator (Thanks reader Tim G. for the line). It’s Sally Hawkins who just won Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical for HAPPY-GO-LUCKY… crickets… who saw it?

8:39PM: Is there an award show the Jonas Brothers don’t attend? Here they are presenting for Best Animated Feature which WALL•E deservingly wins.

8:37PM: Ricky Gervais to Kate Winslet, “I told you… do a Holocaust movie…” If only GHOST TOWN were so funny.

8:32PM: HBO, err… we mean Anna Paquin wins for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama for TRUE BLOOD.

8:31PM: New Spock and Kirk walk on stage to present. Cue Nerd Orgasm.

8:29PM: Gabriel Byrne robs Michael C. Hall and John Hamm for Best Actor in a Television Series Drama. Begging the question… what incriminating photos does HBO have on The Hollywood Foreign Press.

8:29PM: Raise your hand if your just a little creeped out that Michael C. Hall is now married to his television Sister Jennifer Carpenter.

8:18PM: Laura Dern wins for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series, Movie and/or Mini-series… and judging by how long it took her to walk up to the podium, it’s a pretty big shocker.

8:16PM: Tom Wilkinson wins for Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series, Movie or Mini-Series proving once again how ridiculous it is that these actors all being clumped together makes no sense. That, or I’m simply bitter that Neil Patrick Harris was robbed. I mean hello? Did the voters not see NPH host SNL last night?

8:14PM: How wrong is it that Demi Moore looks one hundred times hotter (not to mention one thousand times younger) than daughter Rumor Willis?

8:08PM: The good news, Bruce Springsteen beat Miley Cyrus for Best Original Song. The bad news, Miley Cyrus was nominated for Best Original song?

8:06PM: Sting presents Best Original Song with a full beard… leading us to start tonight’s first unsubstantiated rumor of the night. Guess who’s auditioning for PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN IV?

8:02PM: KATE WINSLET wins Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Drama for THE READER and we’re just going to say it… drones on for far too long. Thoughts?

The TV Addict: Look beyond their perennial favorites, are you kidding me? HOUSE, Sally Field, ENTOURAGE, America Ferrera, and worst of all Tony Shalhoub for what sure seems like his 75 nomination! Sadly, the Golden Globes are as predictable as ever. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thrilled for many of the nominees (30 ROCK, DEXTER, MAD MEN etc…) But if the Hollywood Foreign Press really wanted to recognize True… err, I mean new blood, we’d see nominations for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, DAMAGES, LOST and Julia Louis Dreyfus.

Couch Tater: Oh, I see how you are. It’s okay that the same people get nods… as long as they’re people you like! I kid, I kid. You’re right, of course, but I’ve always said it takes baby steps for an institution like the Golden Globes or the Emmys to change. And we’ve got those here. I mean, I was surprised to see Jonathan Rhys Meyers for THE TUDORS. And when I say surprised, make no mistake, it was a pleasant one, ’cause the guy is amazing. In a single scene, he can go from chewing the scenery to tugging at your heart strings. Perhaps the most daring of the nominations? Catherine Keener for AN AMERICAN CRIME. For those who didn’t catch it, this was a tough-to-watch flick about a woman (Keener) whose slow descent into madness involves taking a teenage neighborhood girl hostage and allowing the other kids to torture her. But then there’s that weirdly baffling category Performance By An Actor In A Supporting Role In A Miniseries Or Motion Picture Made For Television… which somehow includes HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and ENTOURAGE. So why not just call this Any Actor Who Ever Did Anything Not Quite Worthy Of A Leading-Role Nomination?

The TV Addict: Firstly, any category that recognizes Neil Patrick Harris and Rachel Griffiths is a-okay with me. That said… I QUIT! Seriously, I’m done! Kaput! This TV Addict can no longer continue to maintain this façade of excitement for the been-there-done-that Golden Globes. Because nothing ever changes and nothing, it seems, ever will. That is, unless the Hollywood Foreign Press is reading this and takes my suggestion to heart. Rather than continue to nominate the exact same actors year after year (see: Sally Field, Mariska Hargitay, Kyra Sedgwick, America Ferrera, Hugh Laurie, Steve Carell, and Tony Shalhoub), why not put a moratorium on the number of nominations an actor can receive for playing the same character? Just imagine. Not only would Jeremy Piven’s retirement from Golden Globe contention open up a spot for some exciting and deserving new talent such as THE BIG BANG THEORY’s Jim Parsons. But it might also help attract new viewers to an award ceremony that is quickly losing both relevancy and interest to the 98% of the country that doesn’t watch MAD MEN or know what a CRANFORD is.

Couch Tater: Oh, ain’t that sweet. You still have the capacity to dream big! Look, I couldn’t agree more, it WOULD be a nice change of pace to see, say, WORST WEEK’s Kyle Bornheimer be recognized as one of the most talented newcomers to hit the comedy scene in years. But we also have to keep in mind one very important thing: There’s a reason people like Sally Field get nominated every year in a category that acknowledges the best actors in the industry… because, simply put, they ARE the best. Plus, let’s face it, I don’t think nominating anyone from BATTLESTAR is going to exactly bring droves of viewers to the awards telecast, seeing as BROTHERS & SISTERS has about… doing the math… carry the one… a gajillion more viewers than our beloved BSG. And finally, do we really want to see people nominated simply because it might improve ratings for the telecast? The awards already are viewed in many sectors as a popularity contest… wouldn’t such a move make the situation worse instead of better? No, my friend, I think you and I will just have to accept the fact that when it comes to the Golden Globes and the Emmys, critics such as ourselves will have to speak out for the ignored but beloved actors out there. And heck, would we really have it any other way? I mean, if they nominated all our favorites, what would we have to complain about?

10:43PM: GREY’S ANATOMY! Amazing!!! Hmmmm…. Was Isaiah Washington on stage? Interesting….

10:37PM: DREAMGIRLS! Woo-Hoo!!!

10:36PM: Why is Dane Cook at the Golden Globes???

10:28PM: BORAT — that is awesome. Congrats to Sasha Baron Cohen for an amazing performance. Well deserved. It’s nice to actually see Sasha talk… British accent… so strange.

10:25PM: Martin Scorsese, it’s about time!

10:10PM: Lifetime acheivment to Warren Beatty. So Long and Boring.

9:53PM: LOW POINT OF THE SHOW. Woman interviewing America Ferrara, what an embarassment, worst questions ever!!!! She should be fired…

9:48PM: Best Actress in a comedy….. America Ferrera I can’t believe that she won. I love how she gets a standing O for playing ‘Ugly!’ She’s so articulate, and real… America is awesome.

9:38PM: Clint Eastwood, the guy walks into a room and gets a standing Ovation.

9:30PM: Best TV Comedy… UGLY BETTY Not to toot my own horn, but I picked it! Such a happy cast, that is awesome.

9:27PM: Half way point of the award show…. no water cooler moment yet…. We need Christine Lahti to get stuck in a bathroom or something.

9:21PM: Best Actor in a TV series…. it’s about time. Great category. As I’ve said before, as long as Tony Shaloub doesn’t win I’m happy……. and it goes to… ALEC BALDWIN! Cue to Zach Braff…. nice fake smile. Nice speech Alec, you do indeed Rock 30 Rock!

9:20PM: Motion Picture Screenplay awards…. and snoore…. bring on more TV awards.

9:17PM: Cameron Diaz… what are you wearing? Seriously…. are you taking fashion tips for Bjork!

9:11PM: Helen Mirren, that’s a pretty racy dress for a 70 year old!

9:01PM: Has Eddie Murphy ever won anything aside from a Blockbuster Video Award? Congrats to Eddie, it was an amazing performance (DREAMGIRLS).

9:00PM: Does Brat Pitt sleep in a cryogenic chamber?

8:57PM: Everybody loves Helen Mirren. Elizabeth I will win for sure. And the GG goes to Elizabeth I.

8:56PM: Borat… I’m shocked he didn’t come in character.

8:48PM: Annette Bening.. did she just get out of bed?

8:46PM: Meryl Streep, not at all a surprise! She’s so gracious, classy and unpretentious….. she does indeed rock. Speech… groan……. okay, it’s Meryl Streep, she can do whatever she wants.

8:42PM: Steve Carell, What does the blue puzzle piece mean? HAPPY FEET, WORST MOVIE EVER! (says Thors and theTVaddict)

8:40PM: Charlie Sheen has a woman’s haircut (says Robin)

8:34PM: Are there no time limits on speechs? What is the deal with HILARY SWANK, not a fan. Is that LINDSEY LOHAN drinking ‘water’ in the background?

8:31PM: MILO HAS NO BANGS.. but his joke fell flat! MICHAEL C HALL deserves this so much. But it’s a great category. HUGH LAURIE!!!!! WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT…… It was so not his year. MICHAEL C HALL WAS ROBBED. I guess it helps to be foreign to win a Golden Globe voted on by the Hollywood Foreign Press.

8:27PM: Jessica Beil, holy working out. Check out those arms. Best Supporting Actres, Mini-series, TV… and the GG goes to: EMILY BLUNT No, she’s not related to James Blunt!

8:25PM: TRUMP SHOT… BOOOOO! GO ROSIE

8:24PM: Question: What’s worse: Introducing the nominees for best sound, or introducing a movie? BABEL…. sounds boring.

8:15PM: If Patricia Arquette wins, I’m packing it in. Kyra Sedwick WINS! Lauren is happy, she LOVES THE CLOSER. Does she remember to thank Kevin Bacon (her husband). KEVIN GETS A THANK YOU, Happiest couple ever….. (it used to be justin and cameron!)

8:13PM: HIRO HIRO HIRO (my pick!)… Jeremy Irons WINS his 800th Golden Globe. Cut to music, this speach blows.

8:11PM: Ms. Golden Globe, what a whore. She’s old enough to be Jack Nicolson’s wife! (says Ari!)

8:07PM: Akward moment, Justin on stage. Cut to Kelly.. I mean Cameron

8:04PM: Cut to Beyonce, fake tears… a community… of rich white people!

8:01PM: Solo Cameron Diaz, Solo Justin… so sad! George Clooney.. best supporting actress, movie…. J HUDSON, it’s your night for sure. JENNIFER HUDSON, not even that surprised to win, a little disappointing. WOW! America Ferrera, looks awesome, not at all ugly!

8:00PM: Cheesy opening. DREAMGIRLS, good choice. As much as we love DREAMGIRLS, we’re disappointed it’s not a Lou Vega hit!

7:47PM: So Ari’s picking up LICKS for everyone — just because I know you’re all dying to?+l know what I’m wolfing down as I watch the GG’s (best burgers ever, in case you don’t live in Toronto Canada). T-minus 13 minutes to go…. just killing time by re-watching last night’s BROTHERS & SISTERS — Such a great episode by the way. Surprised Jason Lewis is so into playing Kevin’s closeted boyfriend. When he was in Toronto for a play a few summers back (THIS IS OUR YOUTH), he wouldn’t do any of the ‘Gay’ Press (as he put it!). Apparently, he wasn’t a fan of the enormous Gay Fanclub he generated from SEX AND THE CITY. I guess his career was going down the tubes so he decided to suck it up and join BROTHERS SISTERS!

7:00PM: T-minus one hour until the start of the GOLDEN GLOBES! More importantly, t-minus thirty minutes until the inevitable argument breaks out over what to order in while watching the GG’s!

BEST TELEVISION DRAMA
24
BIG LOVE
GREY’S ANATOMY
HEROES
LOST

The difference between the Golden Globes and the Emmys is that the Globes are decided by approx. 75 foreign journalists. This TV Addict is betting that the endless cheerleader buzz, the world wide appeal of the show and the culturally diverse (really good-looking!) cast will ensure that HEROES goes home with the gold.

BEST ACTOR TELEVISION DRAMA
Patrick Dempsey, GREY’S ANATOMY
Keifer Sutherland, 24
Bill Paxton, BIG LOVE
Hugh Laurie, HOUSE
Michael C. Hall, DEXTER

The Globe Voters don’t want to tempt fate. They already angered Tony Soprano by not nominating him, do they really need to piss of a brilliant serial killer as well? Michael C. Hall SHOULD win, and WILL win for his brilliant portayal of Dexter on the show with the same name.

BEST ACTRESS TELEVISION DRAMA
Patricia Arquette, MEDIUM
Evangeline Lily, LOST
Edie Falco, THE SOPRANOS
Ellen Pompeo, GREY’S ANATOMY
Kyra Sedgwick, THE CLOSER

No award show can be complete without one award going to a SOPRANO. (Lord knows the Globe voters don’t want to anger ‘The Family’). Expect Edie Falco to take home the only award THE SOPRANOS see this year.

BEST TELEVISION COMEDY
UGLY BETTY
WEEDS
ENTOURAGE
THE OFFICE
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

Best Comedy this year is a tough call. As much as THE OFFICE deserves to win, I’m going to be a maverick and once again pick the up-and-coming favourite — UGLY BETTY. Do you think the mysterious Fey Summers will make an appearance at the Globes?

BEST ACTOR TELEVISION COMEDY
Alec Baldwin, 30 ROCK
Steve Carell, THE OFFICE
Jason Lee, MY NAME IS EARL
Zach Braff, SCRUBS
Tony Shaloub, MONK

As much as I’d like to see Zach Braff walk away with a much deserved statue, I have a feeling that this is Alec Baldwin’s year (Not that there’s anything wrong with that). In fact, I’m pretty much happy with whoever wins in this category, except for Tony Shaloub. If Shaloub walks away with another award for MONK, I’m packing it in and picking up a book.

BEST ACTRESS TELEVISION COMEDY
America Ferrera, UGLY BETTY
Marcia Cross, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
Felicity Huffman, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE
Mary Louise Parker, WEEDS

The Golden Globes have a history of awarding the IT girl — see: Jennifer Garner (ALIAS) and Keri Russell (FELICITY. Expect America Ferrera to walk away with the gold. Let’s hope she gets some tips from Wilhelmina Slater on how to dress for an award show!

BEST MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE, MADE FOR TV
Bleak House
Broken Trail
Elizabeth I
Mrs. Harris
Prime Suspect: The Final Act

Full Disclosure: I haven’t seen a single one of these movies/mini-series, but the golden rule of award shows is always bet on British! Hollywood is infatuated with Hellen Mirren, and she’s already won the Emmy. Expect ELIZABETH I to take home the gold.

Now that you’ve quickly clued in to the realization that you’re only invited to theTVaddict’s Golden Globe Party — not the actual Golden Globes, you’re probably wondering what exactly that entails. Well I’ll tell you.

We’re all looking forward to a fantastic night of Awards, Alcohol and Winners. So if you get a moment tomorrow, please drop by theTVaddict.com and say hi!

THE BAD: Tony Shalhoub, I just don’t get it. I’m honestly at a loss for words. While I’m sure people watch (and like) MONK, I have yet to meet any of them. Along those same lines, what is Patricia Arquette bribing the voters with? MEDIUM was barely renewed this season. Bradley Whitford definitely deserved a nod as he’s just as much at the heart of STUDIO 60 as Matthew Perry is. 24, it’s a great show, but not award worthy. After five seasons, how many more times can Jack Bauer save the day and survive? And finally, no love for ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? I can only assume that the Hollywood Foreign Press forgot that FOX burned off most of their final [brilliant] episodes in February.

THE FORGOTTEN: The entire casts of SCRUBS [particularly Donald Faison (Turk)] and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. DEXTER in the best drama category. BROTHERS & SISTERS stars Calista Flockhart and Sally Field. And the obligatory snub of everyone deserving on the CW and Sci-Fi: See Kelly Bishop, Lauren Graham, Kristen Bell, Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell and James Callis et al.

theTVaddict would love to hear your thoughts. Please post away with your own ‘Good, Bad and Forgotten’
