Golden Globe blog action!

Well let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start...

Ricky Gervais is hosting. He has had many stellar awards show appearances, so I was looking forward to this. He opened well although I really wish he had left out the male anatomy joke -- too soon. He had to go to the Steve Carell riff, one day there should be a youtube video combining all of their interactions. So funny. On to the awards!

Supporting Actress Film presented by Nicole Kidman which allowed me a glimpse of Keith. Nice Haiti speech and of course Geroge Clooney refuses to take credit for the telethon he is organizing for Haiti. Nominees are -- Penelope Cruz, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Monique and Julianne Moore. I want Monique to win (although I loved Anna Kendrick) and she does. Nice speech about her husband who she knew at age 14 and she said, "one day we will both be stars" and he said "you first" I admit, tears came to my eyes.

Then Actress in a Comedy TV -- Toni Colette, Courtney Cox, Edie Falco, Tina Fey and Lea Michele. Would love to see Lea win and lots of times the Globes give a new show a surprise award, but will probably be Tina. Nopes, here is our Monk moment -- Toni Colette wins. Whatever. I'm sorry, but sometimes ratings need to count, and buzz too, but this show has neither.

Lauren Graham comes out to present Supporting Actor Television. I CANNOT WAIT FOR PARENTHOOD to start -- Now that Leno is out at 10, NBS is finally putting a show on at 10 and one is this show. It was supposed to star Maura Tierney who unfortunately got cancer and now stars Lauren Graham -- I am beyond excited to watch her. She gets to mix her Gilmore Girls Lorelai with the Bad Santa character, genius. Okay, nominees are -- Michael Emerson, Neil Patrick Harris, John Lithgow, William Hurt, Jeremy Piven. Obviously I want NEIL. Hate the combining of comedy and drama, but Piven won it a bunch of times, so I thought maybe...then no, Lithgow wins for Dexter (Showtime AGAIN). I'm sure he's good, don't care.

Paul McCartney comes out for Animated Film and guaranteed his quote about Animated Films being for kids and adults on drugs will be buzzing about tomorrow. He was good. Nominees are -- Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Coraline, Fantastic Mr Fox, Princess and the Frog and Up. I haven't seen any of these but figured it is between Fox and Up -- Up wins, forward speech.

Kate Hudson comes out to present Nine and giggles - this girl is a floozy.

Felicity Huffman comes out to present the head of the Foreign Press Association and flubs every single line - this girl is drunk.

Actor TV Drama nominees are -- Simon Baker (love him, but no need for a nomination), Michael C Hall, Jon Hamm (love the beard Don Draper!), Hugh Laurie and Bill Paxton. Jon should win this year but Michael C Hall does. I'm not mad at that, and his co-stars were kind of crying and he was wearing the black knit cap so I think maybe he has cancer (pls tell me there is another reason for wearing that) so then I feel bad and don't complain that he won.

Actress TV Drama nominees are -- Glenn Close, January Jones, Julianna Margulies, Anna Paquin, Kyra Sedgwick. Considering I only watch Mad Men in this category (why no Big Love stars or Connie Britton from Friday Night Lights??????), I say go January (I forgive her for her SNL appearance because she was really good this season). Julianna Margulies wins and looks stunning and gets to give George Clooney a kiss as she walks up to the stage, and disses NBC by thanking CBS for believing in dramas at 10pm, so I am all for it.

Saw commercial for Extraordinary Measures with Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell -- I don't think they show Brendan talking which is smart. Of course Keri Russell makes me want to see this but I won't because Jan release means it sucks.

Skipping all Miniseries Made For TV categories because I rarely see any of them -- this year I saw Grey Gardens and it won.

Why did Tom Hanks diss Alec Baldwin in his intro to Julie & Julia? Low blow and not classy Mr Hanks.

Loved Ricky's intro to Colin Farrell -- all about how the Globes are not about discrimination against color or creed going into "One stereotype that I hate is that all Irishmen are just drunk swearing hellraisers. Please welcome Colin Farrell." Colin introduces nominees for Actress Comedy / Musical, the nominees are -- Sandra Bullock (The Proposal), Marion Cotillard, Julia Roberts (really for Duplicity?), Meryl Streep (It's Complicated and again for Julie & Julia). Should be Meryl for Julie & Julia and it is! She looks really elegant in her dress. "I want to change my name to T-Bone, T-Bone Streep" (she is hilarious). Nice speech.

Sexy at 60 star Helen Mirren comes out to introduce Precious. I don't even know what clip they can show of this film which is too shocking for TV.

Okay, so Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana come out to intro a miniseries category. Let me use this opportunity to talk about Avatar. Just saw it on Friday and I WAS BLOWN AWAY. I did not read much about the movie because I didn't want to know the details. I knew it was James Cameron, I knew it cost a lot of money to make and by the time I saw it, I knew it had made a billion dollars. What I didn't know is the genius storyline that was created -- the language, the world of Pandora, the battle between Earth and this precious culture, the amazing love story and heartbreaking clash of cultures. The reason why Titanic is my favorite movie of all time time is not only because of the heart-wrenching storyline (I am a sucker for that) but because the movie takes you on a journey, an adventure that leaves you gasping for air. I didn't cry as much at Avatar (but I did fall in love with Sam Worthington almost as much as I did with Leo) but the journey that James Cameron took me on was just as worthy. It is a beautiful film and technologically? I have no idea how he created this world and the collision between it and reality but it took my breath away. I loved it.

Drew Barrymore wins for Grey Gardens -- genuine nice speech. How can she still be so nervous?

Cameron Diaz -- just saw preview for Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and it looks good! I have a new respect for Cameron after seeing and bawling to My Sister's Keeper. She did a solid job.

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler come out for Screenplay / Motion Picture. She looks awesome -- best hair ever. And she is not perfect pretty, she is natural pretty. Like her in black. Lots of good black tonight. Nominees -- District 9, Hurt locker (I still have to see this), It's Complicated, Up in the Air, Inglourious Basterds. Winner is Up In the Air. Love this movie -- it has been my number 1 film of the year (letting Avatar sink in before finalizing these numbers). They may tie in my book because this is the "real" life perfect movie and Avatar is the "fantasy" life perfect movie. Love Jason's speech and shout out to George - people love George Clooney!

Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher come out for Actor in TV Comedy -- Matthew Morrison, Thomas Jane, Steve Carrell, David Duchovny, Alec Baldwin (who isn't there!) Figured Alec would win and he does deserve to but very happy that Matthew got nominated.

Maggie Gyllenhaal makes a plea for Haitian relief. She is very serious.

Sophia Loren comes out - she needs to stop doing that. Presenting Foreign Language Film -- Baaria, Broken Embraces, The Maid, A Prophet, The White Ribbon Only have ever heard of Broken Embraces but The White Ribbon Wins.

TV Drama -- Mad Men, Dexter, House, Big Love, True Blood -- I'm all for Mad Men and it wins and Jon Hamm's girlfriend feels the need to smooch him several times. How funny is Amy Poehler? Her show is hysterical.

Taylor Lautner comes out in a shiny suit to present 500 Days of Summer - which is in my top 3 of the year. Love this movie.

Supp Actress TV -- Jane Adams, Rose Byrne, Jane Lynch, Janet McTier, Chloe Sevigny. Again, the mixing of comedy and drama and movies. Jane Lynch really should win, but Chloe was really fantastic this season so she wins. Can we talk about the amazing gown? She can totally go from street urchin look to glam goddess. Love the shout out to NY. I think she forgot to thank Bill Paxton.

Ricky's back and still funny. Halle Berry comes out and her breasts come out of dress (practically). Supporting Actor Movie nominees are -- Matt Damon, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Plummer, Stanley Tucci, Christoph Waltz. I only saw Inglorious from these and this guy was pretty great, so okay. This is going to be an interesting category come Oscars, it could go in many directions. Nice, genuine guy.

I think Leonardo DiCaprio just introduced James Cameron to Martin Scorcese. Not sure, but I think so.

Big choices -- I have to cancel DVR'ing Brothers & Sisters in order to keep 24 going and watch the Globes. I hope it is online somewhere!

Leo and Robert DeNiro tribute to Martin Scorcese (hasn't he already gotten this?) Can't wait to see Shutter Island - looks so good. Leo, looks so good too. Yummy. I love how he has become this kind of icon in the industry instead of just the kid from Titanic. Cool. Really the tribute is a montage of titles of Scorcese's movies? Lame Ending it with a full preview of Shutter Island? Lamer.

Schwarzenneger is at James Cameron's table. He is probably introducing the clip.

***Serious alert***I know there are a lot of calls for $$ to Haiti -- one of my friends is down there helping and she advises Red Cross -- you can specifically choose the Haitian relief cause. Go do it. redcross.org

Jodi Foster introduces The Hurt Locker -- still on my need to see list. Ricky's back. "I like a drink as much as the next man, unless the next man is Mel Gibson" GENIUS.

People are dying. Mel presents Director - he is a mess. Nominees are -- Kathryn Bigelow for Hurt locker (who used to be married to James Cameron, FYI), James Cameron for Avatar, Clint Eastwood for Invictus (really?), Jason Reitman for Up In the Air, Quentin Tarantino for Inglourious Bastards. James Cameron wins-- he is again King of the World. I can't tell if this room likes him. He needs a haircut. Good of him to recognize all the work that went into the movie -- and all of their spouses. He thanked his wife who he met on set of Titanic, FYI. I know a lot of random things about James Cameron.

Best TV Series Comedy nominees are -- 30 Rock, Entourage (WHY??????), Glee, Modern Family, The Office. I'm torn between Glee and Modern Family, but they haven't had full seasons and 30 Rock has and is of course genius. Glee WINS!!!! I am so psyched. It is so funny especially when you go back and hear all of the little lines that get blurted out. Wow Lea and that big dress, They all look so glam. - Quinn is gorgeous. Love that he said the show is about the importance of arts education -- so true.

Could they tout Avatar anymore? Preview of 30 Rock -- "Why do I have an Indian assistant if my computer's bad?" Alec Baldwin, so funny.

Cast of Hangover come out with Mike Tyson but without Zach to introduce the film - I'm already laughing.

Reese comes out in a great dress and with great hair to introduce best comedy / musical film (I've said this before, but a musical that is a comedy should be in comedy and a musical that is a drama should be in drama -- this comedy musical stuff is ridic). Nominees are -- The Hangover, 500 Days of Summer, It's Complicated, Julie & Julia, Nine. Great year for comedies this year. I am torn between The Hangover and 500 Days. Hangover wins!! Why do they keep showing Brendan Fraser! They are playing the song that Ed Helms sings in the movie -- so funny. Todd Phillips totally jabs at Harvey Weinstein. No question why this movie was hilarious. Could this lead to an Oscar nomination (now that 10 films can be nominated I say YES! now big money makers can compete with critical favorites).

I called it, Ahnold is presenting Avatar. Love his jokes, actually. He comments that he is presenting so that half the movie's proceeds go to California.

Ricky's back. He can't joke about Mickey Rourke. Presenting Actress Drama. Nominees are -- Emily Blunt, Sandra Bullock (Blindside), Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan (so cute), Gabourey Sidibe. SANDRA BULLOCK wins. Wow. I thought she was great in this. And I like when an actress or actor doesn't have to be extreme to win. "To my husband, there's no surprise that my work got better when I met you because I never knew what it felt like for someone to have my back." Wow, this show is just killing it in time for V-day.

Actor comedy / musical -- Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Michael something, Daniel Day Lewis. Again mish mash of categories -- I would like to see Joseph Gordon Levitt win, but Robert Downey Jr does just because everyone loves him. I do not think it is for this film. Best acceptance speech of the night by saying he does not need to thank anyone, because he won this and the movie would have been killed by Avatar if he hadn't been in it. Love that he doesn't take it too seriously.

Kate Winslet looks gorgeous presenting Actor Drama -- Jeff Bridges, George Clooney, Colin Firth, Morgan Freeman, Tobey Maguire. I'm rooting for George but I haven't seen Crazy Heart yet. And Jeff wins. (Go Judy!) The room loves him. I still think George has a shot for the Oscar. Especially after he does the telethon. Nice speech from Jeff.

Julia Roberts comes out to present Best Drama in a short black dress, looks so fresh. Nominees are -- Avatar, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Precious, Up In the Air. Avatar wins and Jason Reitman is not happy. It is hard to not give a film like this the win. But I want to still share my love for Up In The Air -- SUCH a good movie. James Cameron is trying so hard to seem humble.

End note, Ricky. Let me just say that he was a brilliant host. Pretty fast paced night overall. Awards were spread out, some good surprises and some not so good. Hope you enjoyed the live blog! More later this week on Idol.

Remember, don't be ashamed of your obsessions (that's right Sam Worthington, I'm not ashamed)...
