8:04 PM - Ricky Gervais is hosting the 67th Golden Globes. He starts out the show by picking on Steve Carrell and his role on The Office. Ricky is sort of funny, but he does not have us rolling on the floor like past hosts have. There are a few funny moments, but our favorite has to be Cameron Diaz looking clueless and not really getting his jokes.
8:05 PM - Ricky makes a nice joke about Jay Leno replacing him as host if he isn’t funny enough.

Penelope Cruz – Nine
Vera Farmiga – Up In the Air
Anna Kendrick – Up In the Air
Mo’nique – Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire

The Nominees:
Toni Collette – United States of Tara

Edie Falco – Nurse Jackie
Tina Fey – 30 Rock
Lea Michele – Glee
The Winner: Toni Collette – We love Toni in pretty much everything she does. Did she deserve it? Definitely, considering she plays 4 characters on one show! We thought Tina Fey had it in the bag, though were secretly were rooting for Lea Michele, just because Glee is so awesome. Still Toni was the best choice, just based on how well she hides her accent.
How we rate her speech: Basic. She thanked people and left. We are glad she was quick, but it wasn’t anything we’ll remember tomorrow.
8:17 PM: After a commercial break, Jeff Parsons and Lauren Graham introduce Miss Golden Globe (Alfre Woodard’s daughter, Mavis). They present the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television.

The Winner: John Lithgow – Based on his performance on Dexter, we are NOT surprised. He deserved the win and knew he’d get it!
How we rate his speech: We thought it was VERY sweet. We loved how he thanked his wife of 30 years. Awww.

8:29 PM - Ricky Gervais is back to be funny. He let us know you cannot buy a Golden Globe. He thinks he is funnier than we do.

The Nominees:
Simon Baker – The Mentalist
Michael C. Hall – Dexter
Jon Hamm – Mad Men
Hugh Laurie – House
Bill Paxton – Big Love
The Winner: Michael C. Hall – Honestly, we watch the majority of shows on this list so we were just hoping for one of our favorite guys. Hall is one of them so we can’t complain!
What we thought of his speech: We were shocked initially to see Hall in what appeared to be a simple, yet interesting black cap. We thought of making a joke (okay, we made one), but then we found out the reason for the cap. Apparently Hall has been undergoing cancer treatments (he’s currently in remission). The speech was good, even if it was not the most memorable of the night. Regardless of the speech, his work on Dexter and other shows (and on stage) will not soon be forgotten. We’re sure this is just one of many for Michael C Hall!

The Winner: Julianna Margulies – We wanted her to win. We LOVE The Good Wife. We’ve loved her since ER. We also love that George Clooney kissed her on her way up to the stage.
What we thought of her speech: The first to commend her fellow nominees, we appreciate her humbleness. We appreciate the sweetness of her appreciation towards her job and happiness in winning.
8:42 PM - The awards return with Harrison Ford. He shows off the video for Up in the Air, George Clooney’s new movie. We already knew we wanted to see it before we saw this video, though George is looking a little scruffy at the awards.

Julia Roberts – Duplicity
Meryl Streep – It’s Complicated
Meryl Streep – Julie & Julia
The Winner: Meryl Streep for Julie & Julia – Well she had a 2/5 shot, considerably better odds than the other three nominated actresses. I think the only person disappointed in Meryl Streep for not winning for It’s Complicated!
What we think about her speech: We love her speech…especially if she changes her name to T-Bone. She is going out on the fly and seemed overwhelmed, but she is also very funny. Does she not realize she’s Meryl Streep? We wonder!
9:09 PM - We return with Helen Mirren. She is here to show the video for Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire.
