Live-blogging the Golden Globes

Jan 16, 2006, 08:15 PM | by Michael Slezak

Categories: Golden Globes

17579__ggstatue_l_1(Michael Slezak live-blogged the Golden Globes. Relive the fun!)

8:04 p.m. The horrible theme song -- set to Pussycat Dolls' "Don't Cha" -- included the line: "Hannibal Lecter is licking 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 so cliché. But how else to describe Davis' made-up riff on the little girl who 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 did Melanie 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 be nice to black people for two more hours." I wish Chris Rock was 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 is so stooooopid for not casting more hot-flashing actresses in leading roles. 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 thing ever about Larry McMurtry's ode to his typewriter: "Look at me! I'm old and 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! I mean, now I'm all jonesin' for more scenes from that movie with Baldwin and 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 just delivering a really awful joke written by the Globes writing team? Either way, he shoulda skipped the "rhymes with chick flick" punch line. 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 kinda makes a guy wonder why she's not as big in Hollywood as, say, J.Lo or Sandra Bullock.

10:55 p.m. Brokeback wins! Yay. Yay! YAY! Uh-oh. I just got a dollop of Colgate MaxFresh with Mini Breath Strips Whitening in Cool Mint toothpaste on the living room carpet. That's it, people, I'm leaving the rest of the observations to you.

I loved Hugh Laurie's speech, hilarious! Does anyone know where I can get what he said in writing?

Computers Mon, Oct 16, 2006 at 12:15 AM EST

best site

a guy Mon, Jan 23, 2006 at 08:25 PM EST

Maybe it's just me but these were the three best acceptance speeches...
- Steve carrel- The one that he said his wife wrote...that was completely hysterical!

- Geena Davis- That one was funny..."There was a little girl who pulled on my dress and she was wearing her first party dress and said,"Because of you I want to be the president someday...Well that didn't really happen but it really could've! It darn well could have" That one was really funny.

-Hugh Laurie- "On the way here I thought of 172 names that I can thank...But that would really bore you so I will chose three at random...shake shake shake,my script superviser...shake shake shake, my hairstylist...shake shake shake, that's not my handwriting!...To he** with that one.

If you agree send me an e mail...No ims please!

Glenn Fri, Jan 20, 2006 at 08:25 AM EST

I think Drew Barrymore should change her name to:

Droop Barrymore!

The Hollywood crowd seems to have pulled together to make bad movies and now they are patting themselves on the back for those bad movies. With the exception of Walk The Line, the movies that were honored were " HOME COOKING " = NOT FAIR, NOT GOOD, AND DOWN RIGHT HORRIBLE -

MAYBE WE CAN ANNEX HOLLIWOOD, SO SOMEONE WOULD START MAKING GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.

H.L. Clark

Nicky Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 04:35 PM EST

YES PLEASE - get someone who KNOWS movies to interview on red carpet!! C'mon EW - lend out one of your staff members!! At least they are witty AND know movies! Owen G.? Lisa S.? Anybody?!

david Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 03:48 PM EST

At least Drews are real. More than I can say for that toilet bowl spawn Pam Anderson. How about Scarlett Johansson's "Golden Globes"? (suddenly twice their normal size)She seemed a bit attention starved and perhaps with good reason - I have seen next to zero mention of her anywhere. Funny how most (if not all) of the actors/actresses who win all of the awards over the years make vanity and sex-ploitation low on the priority list (where it belongs). Is it just me,or does our country (USA)seem like it is spiraling past the point of no return in selfishness and all of the wrong priorities? Kind of like the Titanic "zipping" through the ice field after several warnings that would have saved her. Or how about Rome right before it burned? In 1776,we started out as a great series of fair minded guidelines for a new country. I guess the uglier side of human nature is winning out with the handful of media puppet masters shoving all of the retarded crap down our retarded throats. We need some bold change in the major media and fast -"iceberg,dead ahead"!!!!

jim Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 02:07 PM EST

I watch the awards because I like good movies. I wish during the red carpet nonsense, the cable channels had a critic or someone who actually watches movies. The questions were pathetic. You could see the disgust on the actors faces. One "commentator" on E had a compact with Mrs. Clooney written on it. She showed it to everyone she talked to. No one cared.

Jennifer Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 01:39 PM EST

I know people keep talking about Drew and it's true her dress WAS ugly and she could use some support but did you see Alanis M.?? WOW - she's hanging low with the headlights on pointing at the ground - it's pretty bad. Is there a shortage of bras in Hollywood??

Msally Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 10:58 AM EST

Oh, forgot to mention: Sue, I thought the "attention grabbing whore" was Isaac Mizrahi. Tee hee.

Really though, I was embarrassed for the people he interviewed. I understand the point of view that he's trying to shake things up from the boring same ol', same ol', but to me he seemed like an adolescent, the way some people snicker when the word "nuts" is said.

MSally Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 10:52 AM EST

Thanks, Dylan, for your comment about Penelope Cruz's accent. The other poster's comment about her needing a dialect coach was asinine and small-minded.

I mean, would the same thing be said about Sean Connery, Roberto Benini, Sophia Loren, Salma Hayek or any of the other many wonderful non-American actors??
Penelope Cruz is from Spain. She will never sound much different in her normal speaking voice. Puh-lease!

Jake Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 07:23 AM EST

Does anyone know what the story behind the apparent "bleeping" of Melanie Griffith is?

Dylan Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 12:53 AM EST

I'm not sure which idiot made the comment about Penelope Cruz's accent(I didn't bother to read the name), but what an ignorant suggestion. Penelope has a beautiful accent and why would she want to lose it? Is every actress in America supposed to sound like julia roberts?

I was so glad to see that Mary-Louise Parker win over those annoying broads on that stupid predictable tv show. Mary-Louise is a fine actress and singlehandedly towers over those chicks combined in talent AND beauty. Eval Longoria, I love you. Now ditch that crap fast.

Sue Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 12:18 AM EST

Did Terry Hatcher have to let the whole world know that she wasn't wearing any underwear??? Ewww, too much info, that attention grabbing whore. Good for Felicity!! Great win for Director Ang Lee, I have always enjoyed his work.

Fatima Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 12:07 AM EST

Mish- Holy crap, warn about spoilers

Mish Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 09:23 PM EST

Tricia- why don't you go thump a bible or something.
Yeah- Brokeback Mountain won't make anywhere near the money Narnia or Passion of the Christ will, but it is at 32mil and counting. Not bad for an independent movie with an overtly gay theme. And guess what it is not just Hollywood types who like it. It has one critics awards from such bible thumping conservative regions like Dallas/Fort Worth, Iowa, Utah amongst others. But the reason it is my number one film of 05 is because it is a beautiful and tragic love story where I actually believed the two protaganist were in love. Now-a-days thats rare whether it is a man and a woman or a man and man.

MIke Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 09:15 PM EST

I don't usually call people names or put them down, but Tricia you are an absolute ignorant idiot. But enough about her, she has already taken up to much of our time. Kudos for Mary Louise Parker- she has been one of my favorite actresses since Longtime Companion and Grand Canyon. I am having one problem with awards this season because everyone is ignoring the most underrated performance and that was Michael Pena who played the locksmith father in CRASH. The rest of the cast was great too, but I felt he was the heart and soul of the film.

Chris Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 07:51 PM EST

Tricia get some taste. People who are always pretending to be religous with movies are just outragoues. It is people like you who would never let a magical film that opens the gates for people be opened beucase you think you are the man's best human. Get over yourself and get some taste in movies. Passion of the Christ was way over done as a movie and Narnia just above mediorce. Also, since when do box office reciepts mean anything The Matrix sequels earned a bunch and so do stupid comedies like the Nutty Professoer!

Fatima Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 06:52 PM EST

Also, Tricia? What are you thinking?

Brokeback had one of the highest per screen averages in history and is driving them in (expect Oscar season to push it towards 3 digits) Narnia and Passion of the Christ are inferior to these films. IT's not an agenda, it's correct. Geez, whenever a movie that the right wing can identify with (and it's a shame they marketed narnia the way they did), they think nothing can beat it. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about

And as someone already said, what does box office have to do with great filmmaking? Yes narnia and passion of the christ had high reciepts, but that's because the churches went in like cattle. All the nominated dramas are supposedly great regardless of their intake.

Emsky Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 06:41 PM EST

Dress commentary just for Delon (your first name wouldn't happen to be Alain, would it? Just kidding).

BEST: Ziyi Zhang in a divine lime green confection that few saw as she was neither a winner nor a presenter; Kiera Knightly; Reese Witherspoon; Natalie Portman; Renee Zellweger.

WORST: Pamela Anderson (HEFTY HEFTY HEFTY!); Drew Barrymore; Rosario Dawson (an absolutely STUNNING woman who MUST get a new stylist, or perhaps get a stylist).

Okay, that's my trip down Catty Lane. Can we go back to discussing neo-expressionism now?

mike Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 06:35 PM EST

Mary -Louise Parker has been flying under the radar for far too long. A big Amen to Max. There is a whole new world beyond the dumbed-down fare you get at the multiplex for eleven months out of the year. Ang Lee was talking about the quality movies that have been out in the last six weeks or so. Do yourself a favor: stake out your local arthouse and be amazed at how many great movies you can see all year long.

Miles Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 06:29 PM EST

Not only was I bored by Mr. Hoffman's speech at the Globes. I was bored by the performance that earned him that globe. I'm sorry but his CAPOTE was terrible. In one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Max Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 06:13 PM EST

This is dadicated to all the people who gave a review F to Brokeback Mountain in Yahoo movie reviews. You can write your hate, your disappointment, your threats on this website (Yahoo is a very respected company and shouldn't anyway allow anyone to write "thank's AIDS to kill gays" and other criminal sentences I read in these reviews).

The facts are that Journalists and critics from every part of the world (not only the "Hollywood gay plan" as they called) decided that 4 Golden Globes went to Brokeback Mountain, the Golden Globe as best actor to Philip Seymour Hoffman for "Capote" and the Golden Globe as Best actress to Felicity Huffman for "Transamerica" (not forgetting the nomination of Cillian Murphy for "Breakfast on Pluto". I'd like to remind that this movie won the international Venice Festival (a huge award) and is the #1 box office in UK. Not to talk that this week it made $7M in 600 theatres while all the other movies made between $16 and $5 million in 2300 theatres.

Intelligent and respectuful people worldwide and in this country give due respect to alternative ways of living following the human nature the way it is since we were born and since the world exist. In the Martin Luther King day (a man killed for defending the rights to exist no matter who you are), justice is finally done even in this country (the most hated and bigot country in the world).

If you want to live in the past, do it but you cannot stop the tsunami. I finally see a bright future in front of me surfing the big wave.

Thank you Ang Lee to have the courage as a non-white caucasian married man to give the world a masterpiece regarding 450 million different people in the world. 450 million souls that God loves more than the mediocrity of certain people believe (the population of the United States is only 280 millions).

Thank you young straight actors Jake and Heath to have the courage to expose your careers to damage in this mediocre thinking society.

Nostradamus said that after the 101st Pope there will be the end of the world as we know it. Well this is the 101st Pope and I'm really looking forward to see this new world, it will certainly be better than the one THEY managed for 2 millenniums.

Note: a big applause also to George Cluney for Syriana and Good night and Good Luck and to the TV series Commander in chief (a woman as president) for their Golden Globes. This country is really changing finally with the help of the good people and GOD.

Allan Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 06:00 PM EST

I was also wondering about why they didn't show James Mangold. (Toback is somebody else.) He's definitely not ugly, so that can't be it. Maybe just incompetent camera work.
And, Tricia, just because a film doesn't make big dollars in the box office, doesn't mean it's not a good film. You can laugh at Ang Lee all you want, but his film has already more than tripled its production costs at the box office.

Fatima Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 05:46 PM EST

Wanted to vomit at Jaime Foxx's album plugging. and him messing up Laura Linney's name. and wearing sunglasses. and saying "where sly at?! where sly at?!" when announcing "The Family Stone". or for existing at all.

due to an increasingly annoying friend, I'm begining to have some hostility towards "Brokeback". I'm sure it's good, but I get annoyed when any movie comes in and makes it "Unpredictable" (as Foxx would say)

Good show. Good blog.

Nancy Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 05:35 PM EST

Sandra Oh didn't come out. She just recently separated from husband Alexander Payne, *amazing* director of Sideways, About Schmidt and Election. My guess is the girlfriend she mentioned is the friend who's stood by her for years, including tough times as an asian actress getting only stereotype offers and through the separation.

chuck Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 05:02 PM EST

Why wouldn't the camera ever show James Toback, Phoenix and Witherspoon kept mentioning him, but they would never show his reaction?

Stephanie Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:55 PM EST

Drew, if you are going to wear a slinky dress, wear a bra!

Stephanie Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:54 PM EST

Drew had reduction surgery and obviously it did not help. She decided to wear a slinky dress without putting on the "Playtex" first-hello!

Stephanie Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:51 PM EST

Drew, if you are going to wear a slinky dress, wear a bra!

Stephanie Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:43 PM EST

Sea foam green does nothing for Queen Latifahs figure. Drew was not wearing a bra. Eww! Steve Carells speech was very cute, and it showed how much he loves his wife. BTW: staying in the gay theme of the Golden Globes, did anyone catch Sandra Oh slightly coming out of the closet by thanking her girlfriend?

Dawn Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:36 PM EST

I was sad that my boy Zach Braff didn't win (again) - so underrated! However, the Carrells more than made up for it with their clever speech (that was all Steve, wasn't it? Hilarious deadpan delivery).

Tricia W. Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:22 PM EST

Ha! Was it me or did the "Weeds" ladies look like they were paying a hommage to their show by getting stoned for the Globes. Mary Louise, maybe not, but Elizabeth... she looked perfectly wasted!

Tricia W. Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:15 PM EST

It should have come as no surprise that the movies that won last night, with the exception of "Walk the Line" were "gay-themed" movies as several have described. OF course the Hollywood Foreign Press and soon, The Oscars, will honor movies that make THEM feel superior to the rest of America and that allow them to thumb their noses at the VAST majority of American movie-goers and their values. Funny thing is that ultimately, the movie-goers always have the last word. And, so far, they have spoken loudly. While Brokeback, Transamerica and other nominated films were getting all the free media and praise they could possibly get, movie-goers were buying tickets to see The Chronicles of Narnia, a movie that has gotten mostly great critical reviews but no awards consideration (um? Like Passion of the Christ, maybe?). And, in spite of its Globe wins and ultimate Oscar wins, Brokeback (like Million Dollar Baby last year) will never see more than mediocre box office success.

P.S. I laughed when Ang Lee, in his director acceptance speech, said that he was so proud of the great movies that come from American film-makers last year. Funny. Last year was one of the worst box office years ever. Apparently, Mr. Lee, the public doesn't agree with you.

Laura Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:02 PM EST

I love Harrison Ford...one of my favorite actors but glass of alcohol aside, did anyone else think he looked like Ransack the Elder?

Stringer Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 03:52 PM EST

i love gwynnie, but did anyone else find it extremely annoying how she was pronouncing Anthony Hopkins' name as Antony. unless that is how it's supposed to be pronounced, am not sure on that fact. but i still couldn't sit through her presentation....

Anne Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 03:52 PM EST

What the heck was that on John Travolta's Head?! He looked like Rip Torn's long lost brother.

Marques Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 03:52 PM EST

The Globes is always my favorite awards! I agree there should be liquour at the Oscars (and a 3 hour time limit!). I'd like to see Huffman go all Helen Hunt and win the Emmy and the Oscar in the same year but I think the big O is going to Witherspoon (who I love), and frankly she looks like she needs a big O. (How long has Ryan been in Australia?) Did anyone noticed that Stuart Little's parents both won? Jonathan Rhys Meyers should be the next big thing. Oh and just saw Angels in America so I love Mary Louise Parker!!

greg Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 03:49 PM EST

I'm glad the lady from "Weeds" upset the Desperate Whatever-wives. I am sick of them especially Longoria sticking her rear end in everybodys face every 5 minutes (pretty easy to see how she got where she is.) One exception is Felicity Huffman - she has talent and heart and thats why she is continually recognized for it and will continue to be. I guess she proves its better to pay a little more attention to your craft and your heart and soul then to take the first offer to do an FHM soft porno cover - low budget !!!!! I loved it when Chris Rock read off the name of the dark horse with 4 to 1 odds against her.

Emsky Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 03:07 PM EST

I'm over being reasonably erudite so I'll just meander into Seacrest Territory: Is it me, or should Miss Golden Globes, aka Dakota Johnson, have at least attempted to crack a smile once during the telecast? Had there been an award for Most Surly Performance by a Hollywood Scion, she'd have been a lock...

Best Speeches: Geena Davis, Mr. & Mrs. Steve Carell, Hugh Laurie.

Best Quip: Jack (Abram)Off - my sentiments exactly, Mr. Clooney...

Victoria Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 02:57 PM EST

As for the whole Aishwarya Rai thing that people have been alluding to. She prefers Bollywood to Hollywood, and did Bride & Predjudice because of directer Gurinder Chana (Bend It Like Beckham).

She was offered the part of Helen in Troy, but turned it down, and Mrs. Smith in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but turned it down *shakes fist in fury* due to a prior obligation to Bride & Predjudice. So, actually, the break-up of Brad and Jen is not Angelina's fault, but Aishwarya's (hehe, so funny). And Nicole Kidman's if you think about it. She took the role after Aishwarya refused, then backed out for Stepford Wives.

It is a strange, strange world, eh?

mike Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 02:44 PM EST

The oscars looks to be pretty predictable now. Brokeback should take adapted screenplay, director and film. Hoffman and Huffman look to be a lock. The supporting catagories are a question. Michelle Williams should win. I don't know what happened last night. The real open race is supporting actor. Maybe, once people get the idea Jake Gyllenhaal belongs in the catagory, he'll win over Giamotti and Clooney.
I don't understand everyone being surprised about the mispronoucing of names. The Oscars should have an open bar as well.

Giorgio Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 02:36 PM EST

Brokeback Mountain, Capote, Transamerica... EAT THAT Pat Robertson!!!

KhmerMom Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 02:05 PM EST

How about Harrison Ford being TANKED at his presentation?? I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it.

jm Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 01:58 PM EST

Who picks the clips? Is it the studio? Does the golden globe staff edit them? The "rhymes with chick flick" line, no mention in the intro about a Love story,the guys punching each other, and the hetero kissing scenes smacks of homophobia. Of course, the Brokeback trailer did the same.

Maria Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 01:31 PM EST

While I enjoyed Geena Davis' acceptance speech, I was infuriated by her win. Commander-in-Chief is a ridiculous show, a dumbed down version of the West Wing. Booh! I was so rooting for the fabulous Polly Walker from Rome. She was totally robbed!

Mike Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 01:27 PM EST

I know it seems kind of stupid fuss over something like this, but was anyone else effected by how they presented the clip of Brokeback Mountain? They know what it's about, we know what it's about, everyone knows what it's about. So, if you can answer me this, why they weren't showing any tender moments between the 2 male leads in the movie. But instead, showed make-out sessions of Anne and Jake, and Heath and Michelle. And to top it off, they also showed the scene where Ennis hit Jack. To me, it feels like a bitter-sweet win.

Todd Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 12:56 PM EST

Now that Cinderella Man and Crash have been shut out of the Globes can they PLEASE STOP with the relentless Oscar campains! No one cares about your mediocre movies! MOVE ON!

Scott Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 12:15 PM EST

I think last night's awards had the right amount of unexpected, deserving nominees (Sandra Oh, Hugh Laurie, Rachel Weisz) and obvious frontrunners (Brokeback Mountain, Lost) winning awards. Though I didn't see Capote, I have a feeling perhaps Heath's snub for best actor has more to do with PSH's body of work being more robust. But, I also liked that Brokeback Mountain didn't win everything because, as much as I love that movie, I hate it when any one film takes all the awards.

Steve Carroll's and Geena Davis' speeches had to be the funniest of the night. And it was good to see, Dennis Quaid's ill advised comment aside, presenters for the most part not having to recite terrible jokes as they present.

And I want to thank Michael Slezak for pointing out how stunning Aishwarya Rai looked in that L’Oreal commercial. She really should be given more movie roles in America simply for those eyes alone.

abp Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 12:14 PM EST

Loved Steve Carrell's speech. Note-perfect, in my opinion. Is it me, or did Jamie Foxx put an extra "L" in Laura Linney's surname: "Lin-ley"? Whatever -- he bugs me. I, too, noticed the poorly-concealed look of annoyance on Felicity Huffman's face -- Ha! Another favorite random moment: Once Resse Witherspoon, drink in hand, noticed that the camera had zoomed in on her, she set down her glass and said, "Oops!" Hee!

Ron Mwangaguhunga Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 12:02 PM EST

Drew Barrymore's, uhm, breasts. And, better yet, the network, after a minute of lingering, trying to crop her state of "excitedness" out of the shot.

Nicky Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 11:56 AM EST

MAJOR eye-rolling by Felicity & Nicolette to attention-seeking Teri. The desperate housewives hugging each other all night and giggling, seemed like a desperate attempt at showing us the like really like each other. Right. Uh-huh. Sure.

Reese's hubby Ryan...looked overly-tanked.
Scarlett...cover those babies up a bit.
Drew...love ya, but invest in a bra and stylist.
Gwynnith...lose the fake British accent.
Sandra Oh (yeah, Canadian!), SO naturally funny.
Pamela Anderson (Oh no - Canadian - US can have her!).
Michelle Williams..wish you had won.

Would have been more interesting to have Brad Pitt hand out the award to his Meet Joe Black co-star Anthony Hopkins.

Anybody...where was Jake Gyllenhaal? Sour grapes?

Ryan Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 11:55 AM EST

The theme was on par with past years... Remeber "Waiting For The Globes" when the covered J.Lo? Ugh.
Damn I switched over to 24 and missed Felicity and Nicollette rolling their eyes about Teri Hatcher!!
Although, compared to Brandon Routh and his lack of personality, I'd take Hatcher.

Rachel Weisz (sp?) is a good actress, but I met her in London when she was doing "The Shape of Things" and unlike her costars, she was not very friendly.

speeches were funny and that was what got me through the night. drew needed a bra though! yikes.

Delon Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 11:47 AM EST

The lack of showstopping gowns were a total disappointment. Even Charlize and Jessica Parker were, eh. Pam Anderson and Drew wore the worst dresses of the night, hands down!!!!
Even though i couldn't see the whole dress standing up, from what i could see Maria Bello looked stunning. A very close second was Nathalie Portman. I guess, gotta wait for Usweekly's Globe issue to see all the dresses.
What did you gals think about the dresses?

Lolita Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 11:44 AM EST

What the hell was wrong with Melanie "bad nip/tuck job" Griffith's nose? she looked like someone punched in one side of her nose!! she's become a caricature! ridiculous!

Delon Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 11:39 AM EST

Why can't stars be this hilarious at the Oscars?!?

Joshua Kersey Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 11:38 AM EST

The best part is always the jig that they do at the beginning. You have to go into that knowing its going to be painful, and just ride the wave. And who's boobs were they zooming in and out on? Did you see that? Tacky!

Speaking of TACKY, I never really cared for Dennis Quaid, but now I think he is a total C-R-E-E-P!!!

One more thing, is it just me, or is Jamie Foxx completely annoying? Take off you sunglasses, and stop plugging your album.

SF Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 11:13 AM EST

Claude, I was just about to write that! I definitely noticed it and it was hilarious. Felicity gave her a stank look and then she and Nicolette rolled their eyes at each other or something. They were like Teri, it's not all about you, back up and let someone else get the spotlight for once.

claudenorth Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 10:53 AM EST

Did anyone else notice the annoyed expression on Felicity Huffman's face when Teri Hatcher stepped up to the microphone while the cast was on stage to accept the "Best Comedy Series" award?

nelson porto Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 10:36 AM EST

For me the Golden Globes are out there for 3 reasons: so we can watch the looks,faces and manners (the good, the bad, the ugliest), the results and the acceptance speeches.
Last night show didn't stir audience's commotion about results. So the entertainment hours were about the speeches. And Steve Carrell's was the best.

Laura Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 09:31 AM EST

Hugh Laurie's speech was the best! I'm so happy he won. Out of all the awards I had someone I was definately rooting for only two one, Laurie and Lost. So upset Naveen Andrews, Keira Knightly, and Pride and Prejudice didn't win.

silvio Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 04:26 AM EST

I liked that Dennis Quaid made that comment becaue it got NO positive reaction from the crowd at all. He and/or the GG writers will hopefully tuck that away for future reference.

Amber J Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 02:14 AM EST

And did everyone MISS Mira Sorvino's super yellow teeth? Poor celebrities - TiVO is revealing all of their secrets and flaws. The close on her during her nomination was horrid - I understand 'Human Traficking' aired on Lifetime as opposed to, say, HBO or a big network, but hey Mira, you did make some money - think 'bleaching'.

Richard Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 01:01 AM EST

This blog is really fun. I don't know why people are hatin'.

As for the awards... Well, I think all in all the best people won (I won my party's pool! yay!) I wish Heath Ledger had won... he really deserved it. I'm sick of people winning major awards for mimicry, as PSH did and Jamie Foxx did and Jim Carrey almost did. These are all feats of acting, sure, but I think it's a lot harder to create a character from scratch.

Go "Brokeback" at the Oscars. What a beautiful, sad, moving film about being in love, missing the past, and growing up. Not about being a gay cowboy. At all. Really.

Goodnight, good luck. God bless.

misterblue Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 12:35 AM EST

"Laurie and Davis might want to think about teaming up, yo!"

Ummm...Stuart Little one AND two, dude?

Nicie Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 12:16 AM EST

Best. Blog. Ever.

elizabeth Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 12:07 AM EST

oh, and to answer tyler's earlier question: yes, viggo and cronenberg did kiss. it's not the first time, either. but cronenberg's wife was right there. so it's just a very, very, very cozy friendship or they're fucking with our heads. or both.

elizabeth Tue, Jan 17, 2006 at 12:06 AM EST

i sure hope that wasn't dennis quaid's own line (stars never write their own material). not only did he play a gay man, but his own brother was in Brokeback Mountain...but even if he didn't write it, he probably could have vetoed it...

jm Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 11:59 PM EST

Maybe Dennis Quaid was only reading and not adlibbing. The problem could be with the writers of the show. The intro he read said nothing about a love story. I kept waiting for the word love.

dale Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 11:57 PM EST

Can't wait to hear what Pat Robertson is going to say tomorrow after the victory's of Brokeback Mountain & Transamerica!!!!! I'm thrilled with the wins! Maybe we'll luck out and somebody will shoot Robertson tomorrow..................hopefully a good Christian housewife with five kids!

Marci Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 11:46 PM EST

Yea, Dennis Quaid's comment was in poor taste! That is really all I have to say about it. Brokeback Mountain is an amazing movie. Great acting, well written and just overall very good.

jm Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 11:28 PM EST

Brokeback wins best script, director, and movie. Is the cast to young to win anything?

JOHN Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 11:24 PM EST

What's the deal with so many actors/actresses screwing up the names of their peers????? A LOT of mistakes tonight. Pierce Bronsan? The reverend, instead of revered? David Stairthen??? ANd more...And good lord, I'm pissed off at Dennis Quaid. Tacky, tacky, tacky. A great movie isn't enough to change how some people's view the gay community. And I was so pleased a few years ago with his touching performance as a closeted gay man. Well, the truth always "comes out" doesn't it?

cpdcoplady Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 11:06 PM EST

who are these 'celebrities' who can't even get it together enough to know who to thank!? The idocincratic drug machinations aside, who gets these people coherent enough to report to work???????? Celebrity must be a terrible thing, they all need to be high to handle it. thank goodnesss I'm only a civil employee.

Livi Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 11:05 PM EST

Nicole, I don;t think live blog means they can type as fast as they think.

Larry Guthrie Jr. Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 11:05 PM EST

I am truly disappointed in Dennis Quaid's supposed joke regarding Brokeback Mountain. I have been waiting in extreme anticipation to see this movie for the past year and it just this past Friday arrived in my town. I feel that what the movie has been doing for the perception of gays and namely love, should not be reduced in such an sexist, ignorant manner. Especailly from someone whose career was saved from the depths of Forgotten-Hollywood-Hell by playing a gay character himself recently in Far From Heaven. Please, I'm dying to know: when will homosexual life stop being the punchline and instead be the lesson of a common experience?

Nicole Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:55 PM EST

This blog is horrible. So many moments have gone by with no comment. Such as Dennis Quaid saying that Brokeback Mountain is a film that rhymes with "chick flick". Hysterical and in poor taste, all at the same time.

trish Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:51 PM EST

wow... heath didnt win. didnt expect that one. good job guy from capote.

Jimmy Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:42 PM EST

haha that guy from 'lost' thanked steve carell's wife.

good one.

KE Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:41 PM EST

How many times can you listen to those four twangy guitar strums from Brokeback before you snap? Let us count the ways...

Tyler Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:36 PM EST

Anyone think Heath Ledger can be beaten? I do

Tyler Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:32 PM EST

Anyone else hate the closeups of crying wives?

Mel Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:28 PM EST

Yes, Paltrow is pregnant and YES this promising blog has gone downhill fast!!! In the helpful manner of a critical TV Watch column: Quicker, wittier updates please! Or, dare I say it, rapidly bordering on Seacrest territory

Amy Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:23 PM EST

Is Paltrow pregnant?

Tom Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:23 PM EST

This is the Worst. Blog. Ever.

tc Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 10:12 PM EST

Mary Louise Parker! Could she have been classier, paying tribute to John Spencer?

Gwyneth and Sir Anthony were both in the movie "Proof" ... And speaking of firing stylists, Drew Barrymore should get on the horn, too!

Snarkfest Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:49 PM EST

Memo to Mariah - Fire stylist STAT.

Tyler Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:47 PM EST

Did I just see Viggo and David Cronenberg kiss on the lips?

Snarkfest Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:46 PM EST

Can someone do a quick six degrees of separation for me? How is Gwynnie connected to Sir Anthony?

Snarkfest Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:44 PM EST

Am I the only one who saw the veins on Virgina Madsen's unmentionables? Or was it jus the HDTV?

Snarkfest Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:39 PM EST

How long has Penelope been acting in the US? Get a dialect coach!!!!!!!!!!

Simon Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:38 PM EST

I thought Sandra and S Epatha's speeches were heartfelt.

Tyler Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:29 PM EST

Woody allen so deserved to win. His comeback film

Tyler Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:25 PM EST

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.

bb Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:22 PM EST

Can someone tell me about the actor who won for Elvis? I just saw him in match point. He looked strung out.

Simon Mon, Jan 16, 2006 at 09:09 PM EST

Steve Carell's speech was the best!
