8:15: Well so far, I love that people are COMPLETELY ignoring the band sign-off and just plowing on with their speeches. Ricky Gervais incredulously: "It's like Pac-Man!"
8:30: I do not believe anyone can top Chris Colfer's speech tonight. Just amazing. And Lea Michele's tears.
8:35: 8:10: Since none of my friends were interested in watching The Golden Globes, I just wandered into my favorite common room, and alas, I'm sitting with a few girls who have NO IDEA WHO ANY OF THE PEOPLE OR MOVIES SHOWN TONIGHT ARE. One fascinating specimen of a girl: did not recognize Robert De Niro, and also said "ugh" in disappointment after Chris Colfer's name was announced as the winner, and then said "oh, he DID win!" when the camera showed Chris walking up the stage....I just don't know how to respond.
8:40: I knew Boardwalk Empire would win for the movie-legend names attached, but IT IS SIMPLY UNJUST. This was the best season of Mad Men so far, one of the finest television seasons in history EVER, and Boardwalk Empire was solid but still grasping for its straws, understandable for its first season. Also: Jon Hamm should have won.
8:45: Andrew Garfield is just too funny/cute (while presenting TSN clip). "A very supportive room we have here!" I refuse to fall in love with you, Andrew.
8:50: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross win! And did David Fincher actually show up for an awards show? I love his reaction to all of the hullabaloo - he seems genuinely annoyed by all the awards shows, and said publicly that he didn't understand the critics praise. "The Social Network is not earth-shattering." Oh Finchy.
9:10: New gem from the girl next to me during a clip of Mark Wahlberg in "The Fighter": "Is that Matt Damon?"
9:12: Al Pacino wins. He may be one of my favoritest actors ever, but like most people who have sat through his acceptance speeches (it's like he specifically takes advantage of his "Screen Icon and Fucking Legend" status and toys with us by rambling on because knows that no one would ever dare play Al Flipping Pacino off the stage) I now have a Pavlovian response to leave the room whenever "Al Pacino" is read off an envelope. Brb.
9:18: Back! Claire Danes' speech wrapping up. Whew. Missed double dose of spastic rambling.
9:25: Tina Fey and Steve Carell: BEST BANTER EVER. "King George V-I".
9:44: Ad for "No Strings Attached". Everyone in the room simultaneously: "I realllyyyy want to see that!" Sigh.
9:58: Girl next to me while Matt Damon is speaking: "Is that Matt Damon?"
1o:00 De Niro montage epic time. Did they leave Heat off the list??
10:20: MORE DARREN CRISS SIGHTINGS PLEASE.
10:40: Am hating the animosity towards Ricky Gervais. C'mon, actors. 1) You are constantly receiving lavish praise and fawning attention, so SUCK IT UP. 2) You know who you hired, right? Didn't you get him because his "edgy" humor is exactly what the Globes wanted? What pussies. "He used to be much nicer." If Karl Pilkington can do it, so can you. But then again, not many people are as awesome as that orange-headed genius, are there? Making fun of Tim Allen's mostly forgettable filmography, Robert Downey Jr's old party ways, and Mel Gibson's general shittiness, and slamming the universally lambasted The Tourist is not crossing the line. At all. If he had say, made fun of Sandra Bullock's divorce from Jesse James, that would truly be a shitty thing to do. But pleaseeeee Hollywood. Admit that this is in fact healthy for you.
10:45: Colin Firth wins at life for coining the phrase, "robust triangle of man-love." My favorite comment about him tonight: "The way he kissed his wife after winning confirmed my suspicions that he is a tiger in the sack." Must pause now.
10:58: Jesse Eisenberg yanking Andrew Garfield out of his chair and pulling him onto the stage = fave moment of Globes ever.
