(Michael Slezak live-blogged the Golden Globes. Relive the fun!)
8:04 p.m. The horrible theme song — set toPussycat Dolls’ "Don’t Cha" — included the line: "Hannibal Lecter islicking his lips to taste the Cecil B."
8:09 p.m. Paul Giamatti is so not a movie star. And I mean that as the best kind of compliment.
8:11 p.m. I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, George Clooney’s Jack Abramoff joke was frickin’ hilarious.
8:13 p.m. I’m psyched Rachel Weisz won, but shouldn’t Michelle Williams get something for having a career post-Dawson’s Creek?
8:20 p.m. Hey! It’s the new Superman, Brandon Routh, presenting with Teri Hatcher. Aw, poor Dean Cain. On second thought, isn’t Superman supposed to have charisma? Maybe he’s saving it all for the movie.
8:22 p.m. No matter what else happens tonight, I’m going to bed happy: Sandra Oh got the Globe she so richly deserved for Grey’s Anatomy, and she rocked it at the podium, too. Yay! Seriously!
8:29 p.m. Is it so wrong that I don’t care for Emmy Rossum’s bright-eyed charms?
8:33 p.m. Phooey! I guess Geena Davis’ Globe win for Commander in Chief means the end of her hopes for Olympic archery gold.
8:34 p.m. Using "Funniest. Acceptance Speech. Ever." is socliché. But how else to describe Davis’ made-up riff on the little girlwho got inspired to try to be president from watching Commander in Chief? Those comedy actresses better be ready to step it up.
8:41 p.m. Did I just experience a technical difficulty or didMelanie Griffith get bleeped presenting her daughter, Dakota Johnson,this year’s Miss Golden Globe?
8:49 Um, Empire Falls dude, you just won a Golden Globe. No need to allude to your own work as "creative and original and provocative." We get it.
8:50 p.m. Pamela Anderson’s dress. No words.
8:51 p.m. Either Steve Carell knows from good acceptance speeches, or else his wife does.
8:59 p.m. I didn’t know Jamie Foxx was a Corey Hart fan. All together now: "I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can…"
9:01 p.m. What’s Shirley MacLaine doing with the Witherspoon-Phillippe clan?
9:03 p.m. "I want everybody to relax. You only have to benice to black people for two more hours." I wish Chris Rockwas that funny at the Oscars.
9:05 p.m. Mary Louise Parker! Hey, we totally called that!
9:14 p.m. Is the Shiraz making me sleepy, or is that just the effect of them passing out awards in the TV Movie/Miniseries category?
9:15 p.m. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers…not just white, but translucent!
9:17 p.m. S. Epatha Merkerson: Living proof that Hollywood isso stooooopid for not casting more hot-flashing actresses in leadingroles. Yeah, yeah, I’ll get off my soapbox now.
9:32 p.m. Where’s Jake Gyllenhaal? How come they’re not showing Jakey?
9:33 p.m. My friend Dawnie just IM’d me the funniest thingever about Larry McMurtry’s ode to his typewriter: "Look at me! I’m oldand I hate technology!"
9:36 p.m. Eva and Marcia, cheek-to-cheek. See, tabloid press! They totally heart each other!
9:50 p.m. And you thought Glitter would prevent Mariah from ever making it on stage at the Globes…
10:05 p.m. Hey! I feel gypped by this Anthony Hopkins tribute! Imean, now I’m all jonesin’ for more scenes from that movie with Baldwinand the bear.
10:06 p.m. By the by, Hannibal Lecter scares the bejesus outta me, even in the middle of a clip reel.
10:16 p.m. Nice work, Travolta. It’s Pierce Bros-nan, not Bron-son!
10:19 p.m. Joaquin Phoenix says it so you don’t have to: "Whoever thought I’d win in the comedy or musical category?"
10:37 p.m. Hands down the best eyewear of the night goes to the producers of Lost. And they put out a pretty awesome TV program, too.
10:41 p.m. I hate Dennis Quaid so much right now. Or is he justdelivering a really awful joke written by the Globes writing team?Either way, he shoulda skipped the "rhymes with chick flick" punchline. Blech!
10:43 p.m. And here I thought I was gonna go the whole night without tearing up. Damn you, Felicity Huffman!
10:50 p.m. The reverend journalist? I think you meant revered, Ms. Swank.
10:51 p.m. Not that I’m unhappy about Philip Seymour Hoffman’s win for Capote, but dude, your acceptance speech was such a snoozer, I wish I’d gone and brushed my teeth.
10:52 p.m. As an aside: Aishwarya Rai’s ad for L’Oreal kindamakes a guy wonder why she’s not as big in Hollywood as, say, J.Lo orSandra Bullock.
10:55 p.m. Brokeback wins! Yay. Yay! YAY! Uh-oh. Ijust got a dollop of Colgate MaxFresh with Mini Breath Strips Whiteningin Cool Mint toothpaste on the living room carpet. That’s it, people,I’m leaving the rest of the observations to you.
Did you see Drew Barrymore that dress was awful. Did she forget her support tonight? what on earth. Go Rachel Weicz great actress.
Drew Barrymore sure knows how to let them hang.
I’m not sure what to say but I knew someone online would be discussing. Seriously did she get implants and forget to wear a bra?
That theme song was HORRIBLE! Is this the new trend- stupid, lame opening songs (ala Earth, Wind & Fire’s reworking of “September” for the Emmys)? Please, spare us all.
I also forgot to say- hurrah for Hugh Laurie! See Emmys, that’s how it’s done!
No, Melanie was “bleeped” – not sure for what. But it must have been borderline, as no one in the audience seemed shocked or upset.
The winners are really brining on the funny tonight. The acceptance speech’s are making this actually FUN to watch.
The red carpet coverage was tacky and insulting! They are wasting their money on Ryan Secrest – ask yourself what the show would have been without him and you’d have to say “no different”. He added nothing (nor did the woman with him). Asking actors, who have graciously agreed to talk about their underwear, bikini waxes and touching their busts is immature and tasteless. As bad as Joan Rivers is, I may have to switch.
Umm is it me or did Pamela Anderson’s dress look like she had a papoose sling on her dress with a 20lb baby in there???
Steve Carell’s speech was the best!
Can someone tell me about the actor who won for Elvis? I just saw him in match point. He looked strung out.
I was wondering when the first really heartfelt speech would be. I dont mind them but I figured one would have come earlier than this.
Woody allen so deserved to win. His comeback film
I thought Sandra and S Epatha’s speeches were heartfelt.
How long has Penelope been acting in the US? Get a dialect coach!!!!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who saw the veins on Virgina Madsen’s unmentionables? Or was it jus the HDTV?
