From January 16...
The Golden Globes were handed out Sunday on NBC. Vowing he wasn't coming back and that he would be back next year if he offended enough people was Ricky Gervais. I had to laugh because he came out to the podium that had a drink waiting for him. Gervais took a sip before even speaking one word. He took some shots at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and host broadcaster NBC. Then he took another couple swipes at Johnny Depp who later joined Gervais on stage.
There really wasn't a sweep of the categories last night. Seemed like the wins were fairly balanced.
Lots of music legends were in the house including Elton John and Madonna. Madonna ended up winning the trophy for best original song for Masterpiece. She accepted with her fake British accent fading in and out.
The Adventures of Tintin won for best animated feature film. Steve Spielberg accepted the award.
Let's jump to the TV categories real quick: Homeland won for best television series drama, with Claire Danes also winning for best performance by an actress in a TV series drama.
Kelsey Grammer won best actor in a TV series for his role in Boss.
Laura Dern won best performance by an actress in a TV series comedy or musical. On the male side of things it was Matt LeBlanc in Episodes.
Speaking of TV -- I just thought of it - Ashton Kutcher came out looking like the kid from Two and a Half Men. How weird is that?
Over on the movie side of things - lots of star power, with competitors Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ryan Gosling nominated in the same category. It ended up being a gracious George Clooney who won best performance by an actor in a motion picture drama. It was his role in The Descendants. And the film also took home best motion picture drama.
On the female side of things, Meryl Streep won for The Iron Lady - even swearing a little bit when she forgot her glasses at her seat.
For the comedy categories, it was Jean Dujardin in the Artist who won best performance by an actor in a motion picture, and Michelle Williams won best actress for My Week with Marilyn.
The Artist also won best motion picture comedy or musical where there was a dancing dog on the stage and the director was very excited about winning an Oscar. I think he was at the wrong show.
