7:59 p.m. Anyone remember last year’s Globes’ theme song, the one they set to Pussycat Dolls’ “Don’t Cha”? How ever will they improve on lyrics like, “Hannibal Lecter is licking his lips to taste the Cecil B”?8:00 p.m. Hey, they chose Beyoncé’s “One Night Only” over J.Hud’s! Poor Effie gets put in the corner again!8:02 p.m. Don’t you love how the Globes don’t make you wait for some action? It’s time for Best Supporting Actress in a Movie. And I am telling you Jennifer Hudson had better win!8:03 p.m. WOOT! Could J.Hud be any more beautiful or deserving? “You don’t know how much this does for my confidence,” she says, then laughs, realizing she sounded unintentionally funny. And hey, she just gave props to Florence Ballard. Not that Dreamgirls is about the Supremes or anything.8:06 p.m. Literally, Beyoncé just got beat by a penguin.8:07 p.m. Justin made a funny — mocking Prince’s height. There will be karmic payback, former boy-bander.8:08 p.m. Why am I delighted by chocolate-chip cookies singing “Don’t You Want Me”? Am I on a J.Hud high?8:11 p.m. Inquiring minds want to know: When is the HFPA gonna get with it and name a Mr. Golden Globes?8:13 p.m. Slow clap. Ma-si! Ma-si!8:14 p.m. Waah-waahn. It’s Jeremy Irons for Elizabeth I. Is he wearing a nightgown under his tuxedo jacket? Anyhow, at least dude delivers a sound bite: “If you cannot support Helen Mirren you can’t support anything.”8:16 p.m. Kyra Sedgwick snags Best Actress in a TV Drama, says she’s not going to be remotely funny. She should totally spit on the floor, then yell, “You’re gonna be playing Six Degrees of Kyra Sedgwick now, beyotches!” and storm off. But she’s thanking a list of non-famous people instead. Bah! Okay, she’s totally sweet anyway.8:20 p.m. Commercial break. Anyone else wondering how Simon Cowell is gonna spin this Hudson victory? Punk!8:25 p.m. Scrunchie McZellweggie!8:26 p.m. Jack Nicholson’s all like, “Dude! I am not old!”8:27 p.m. I guess now that Tiffani Thiessen’s dropped the “Amber,” Sean Combs thinks he can drop the “Diddy”?8:28 p.m. In protest of the unforgivable snub of Vanessa L. Williams in the Best Supporting Actress (TV) category, I will not be commenting on this particular victory. No, seriously.8:31 p.m. Milo Ventimiglia, unintentionally funny with that “we’re honored to give up our time slot for the Golden Globes speech.”

Live-blogging Ryan Seacrest on E!
5:58 p.m. Hey folks, Slezak here to live-blog E!’s Golden Globes red-carpet coverage with Ryan Seacrest. I hope you’re able to juggle your remote, your keyboard, and a frosty beverage. Let the comments-fest begin!
5:59 p.m. Only one minute till red-carpet coverage begins! If E!’s cameras capture Jennifer Hudson and Vanessa L. Williams together in the same frame, will a pair of angels descend on a puffy cloud and whisk me off to heaven?
6:01 p.m. Seacrest asks guys in the crowd to make catcalls at Heroes‘ Ali Larter. Way to make a girl feel special.
6:03 p.m. Giuliana DiPandi shows her unique ability to segue: "Speaking of creamsicles, Zach Braff!"
6:04 p.m. Mr. Braff demands to know why he’s been minimized while E!’s cameras zero in on Heroes‘ Hayden Panettiere. "You’ve got to find her and do something to her!" he says, admitting he’s never watched his network’s breakout freshman hit.
6:06 p.m. It’s fashion commentator Jay Manuel (of America’s Next Top Model fame), who appears to have raided the costume closet from Interview with the Vampire!
6:07 p.m. Manuel declares that no one does vintage like Reese Witherspoon. Except Natalie Portman. And, oh, J.Lo. And also, that Cate Blanchett will "definitely, probably" wear vintage tonight. And that "old is the new new." How much do you think blondie’s getting paid?
6:10 p.m. And our first nominee for Most Hostile Red-Carpet Moment goes to John Stamos, who dubs E!’s glam cam as a "crotch cam," asks Seacrest "Are you hitting on me?," then ends the chat with the observation, "You work very hard for $20 million a year." Ouch!
6:16 p.m. IT’S A WILHELMINA SLAAAYTAAAAAHHH SIGHTING!
6:18 p.m. Seacrest asks presenter (!) David Spade "What’s the buzz on the Golden Globes?" His answer is pretty much, "No idea."
6:23 p.m. Masi Oka (lookin superfly) says "lots of questions will be answered" on Heroes this month. Did he just dis Lost?
6:24 p.m. Vanessa L. Williams just hijacked Oka’s interview with her giant hair and giant fabulousness. And yet it only took her 60 minutes more than Oka to get ready. Impressive!
6:26 p.m. Did Ryan just gesture at her when he said "Globes"?
6:31 p.m. Our second nominee for Most Hostile Red-Carpet Moment: Ryan asks Sienna Miller if she’s "easy," then spits on her. (Accidentally, but still…)
6:33 p.m. Giuliana uses her interview with Aaron Eckhart to basically ask if Katie Holmes is a freak. And he deflects like a total gentleman!
6:36 p.m. Seacrest asks Little Miss Sunshine‘s Abigail Breslin which stars she’s looking forward to seeing. Being all of 10 years old, she responds by excitedly showing off the hidden mirror in her purse. Damn you, biological clock!
6:40 p.m. Julia Louis-Dreyfus names Judi Dench and Helen Mirren "most likely to misbehave" while drinking at the Globes. She totally read our cover story this week.
6:45 p.m. Tina Fey (gorgeous!) explains the secret to good podium banter: "Be quick and get out." God, let’s hope all her co-presenters are listening.
6:46 p.m. OMG! Justin and Cameron’s people have asked Globes reps to make sure they arrive at separate times. I so totally do not care!
6:47 p.m. Giuliana continues her fascinating string of questions, asking Rainn Wilson if he has a middle name.
This year's Globes gift bags: a sickly, 3% shadow of what once was
Yep, 3 percent. I know ’cause I did the math. After the IRS (and Edward Norton) badgered the Academy into scrapping gift bags altogether last month, the Golden Globes have followed suit. Not that they’ve given up the swag, but they’ve made it 97 percent less fabulous. Guess the Hollywood Foreign Press Association thinks celebrities won’t worry about the tax implications of swag bags worth just $600, as opposed to $20,000 for last year’s cornucopia of freebies.
I’ll say it. I loathe awards show gift bags. They’re completely pointless to everyone in the world except the high-end, obsequious companies giving their stuff away and the already rich-ass celebs who’re on the receiving end. I’m not jealous; I’m just not impressed by what’s basically a jam-packed commercial break in a box. Magazine articles and blog posts like "What’s in the goodie bag this year?!?!" must be avoided en masse each winter. Are you kidding? Who cares? I don’t need to SEE that!
Weekend To-Do List (Jennifer. Hudson. Edition)
By now, you probably know Dreamgirls (which gets a B+ in this week’s EW) opened in selected cities today. And since it’s PopWatch’s most anticipated movie of 2006, we have no choice but to build this week’s Weekend To-Do List around the film’s breakout star (and Golden Globe nominee) Jennifer Hudson. After all, our own Gary Susman lobbied for J.Hud to nab the role of Effie way back in the day. And also, Brothers & Sisters is a repeat this week.
- Let’s begin our Jennifer Hudson studies with five can’t-miss YouTube clips: Her Idol audition (pictured), plus her two brightest, shiniest moments from the show’s Season 3 finals — covers of Elton John’s "Cirrrrrrrcllle of Liiiiiiiife" and Barry Manilow’s "Weekend in New England." FYI, there’s a 93 percent chance you’ll get chills when J.Hud begins some fierce holleration on the line "AND TE-EH-EH-EH-LL ME-EE-EE-EE" on the latter track. Work it out, girl! Also a must-see, her performances of "One Night Only" and "I Am Changing" on Thursday’s Today. Grab a Kleenex. Dab. Repeat.
Vanessa L. Williams wuz robbed!
PopWatchers, it’s Slezak here, and I need someone to talk me off the ledge. For the last 31 hours, I’ve been fantasizing about tracking down the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and feeding each one a sandwich de knuckles. I know this is at odds with the spirit of the season. Visions of sugarplums — not nunchucks and assorted Medieval weaponry — should be dancing in my head. But every time I sneak a peek at the list of actresses nominated for this year’s Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or TV Movie (which, I’ll admit, I’ve been doing every 15 minutes) I’m left with the same question: WHERE THE L IS VANESSA (L. YEAH!) WILLIAMS? And then, the white-hot rage (and a mild case of heartburn) returns. (Sarah Paulson? Seriously?)
Riddle me this: Did Globes voters miss the episode where Willy so memorably hissed the funniest line on television all season: "Did you just gesture at me when you said Kwanzaa?" Were they foraging for food in their fridges when she cracked open a church collection box with her designer boot? Have they forgotten her eerie/touching monologue to Justin at the end of "Fey’s Sleigh Ride"? How about Willy’s priceless facial expression in response to Marc’s "Someone got their hair did" remark?
I know, I know, other folks were robbed of Globes nominations yesterday, too (we even created an entire photo gallery devoted to your picks for the most egregious omissions). But keeping in mind the HFPA is usually more hip to new and noteworthy shows and performances than their Emmy counterparts, I really thought Williams, the most delectable scene-stealer of 2006, was a shoo-in. And yet, she got nothin’. And I don’t know how to move on. Any suggestions that don’t involve placing myself on a steady mojito drip from now till Jan. 15 would be much appreciated.
Golden Globe nominations: Who got snubbed?
Oliver Stone may have an interesting subject for his next conspiracy tale: himself. The director’s 9/11 drama World Trade Center, as well as director Paul Greengrass’s United 93, were both snubbed by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association as a rather subdued Rosario Dawson, Jessica Biel, and Matthew Perry announced the nominations for 64th Annual Golden Globes this morning. Both films have been generating awards heat in the U.S., so it’s, uh, interesting that the foreign press have bypassed the political duo.
Overall, while some nods were guaranteed — seriously, folks, we might as well hand out Oscars to Helen Mirren and Forrest Whitaker now, in my opinion — others were more wonky, as were the omissions. (The two other most unsurprising nods? Annette Bening, whose hubby Warren Beatty is receiving the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement Award, and Jack Nicholson, whose daughter Lorraine is this year’s Miss Golden Globes.) Most egregious in my opinion? Denying Bill Condon a directing or writing mention for Dreamgirls, despite the film and several stars (Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Hudson, and even, yes, Beyoncé — hey, the Globes like pretty people to attend their party, OK?) getting nods.
Also, I know the Golden Globes are more about the big screen than the small, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get huffy about the lack of love shown towards The Office‘s Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski, who’s currently in town directing his first feature, an adaptation of David Foster Wallace’s Brief Interviews With Hideous Men. And skipping over Grey’s Anatomy‘s Sandra Oh (pictured) after actually giving her the statue last year? Oh, fickle, fickle HFPA.
But what about you, PopWatchers? Who are your glaring omissions? And before you cite the magnificent Letters From Iwo Jima or Mel Gibson’s gorefest Apocalypto, check out the best foreign film nominations.
You're a good sport, Drew Barrymore!
Wow, Drew Barrymore is a good sport. Check out her surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update, in which she mocks her least supporting role on the Golden Globes. Stay classy, Drew!
Live-blogging the Golden Globes
(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.
Live-blogging Ryan Seacrest on E!
(The action begins on E! and PopWatch’s Michael Slezak is there — at home in front of his TV, that is.)
6:01 p.m. "If a star has a blemish, you’re gonna see it," Ryan announces. Note to self: I don’t need to SEE that!
6:02 p.m. Whew! Got my Valerie Cherish moment out of the way.
6:04 p.m. Camryn Manheim tells Ryan she cried the first time she put her dress on. I mean, it’s nice and all, but…
6:18 p.m. Isaac Mizrahi just asked Eric Bana if he moisturized anywhere we need to know about. I miss Kathy Griffin.
6:20 p.m.Poor Debbie Matenopolous just shrieked about Alanis Morissette being ablonde, to which Mr. Seacrest snapped back, "That’s four weeks old –please!" It’s one thing to get dissed by Barbara Walters, but RyanSeacrest. That ain’t right.
6:26 p.m. Isaac Mizrahi touches Teri Hatcher’s stomach. Mrrr.
6:28 p.m. Okay, wait a second. Now he just pulled at the topof her gown to see if she had an acceptance speech hidden in hercleavage. I’m not 100 percent certain, but I think I just witnessed thefirst definitive case of red-carpet sexual harrassment.
