It's Naomi Watts! Naomi! I love you! Ooo, I like her dress. (Given how I love everyone tonight, you'd think I'd been drinking.) And she's here to present the clip for Eternal Sunshine. Because she rocks.

Best Actor in a TV movie whatever thing. Oh God, it's "THE DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES!" Simmer down there, announcer. Maybe I'm crazy, but I watched a few episodes, and I do read the recaps, but... I just can't make myself stick with the show. It seems too aware of its own precociousness, if that makes any sense. Sort of like it thinks it's funnier than it actually is. I don't know--maybe it's gotten better since the first few episodes. Aww, Felicity Huffman is all excited about her husband's movie. And Marcia Cross does rock my socks and my face and my world, so... maybe I'll give it another shot. Hee! I didn't realize Patrick Stewart was in the new Lion in Winter. I have to see this now. Geoffrey Rush wins, because this movie is the Anointed TV Movie this year. You know how it goes. I think last year it was Angels in America. Turns into a steamroller, it does. Heeee--Rush is all like, "I have been carried up here on the shoulders of so many beautiful people," and proceeds to thank his hair and makeup people.

Speaking of Angels! Here's Al Pacino. I actually remember him and Meryl Streep being sooooo tooooasted last year. Here's a nom for Glenn Close in Lion in Winter. "Of course he's got a knife! WE'VE ALL GOT KNIVES!" I've got to see this. Awww, it's nice to see that Julianna Margulies is still getting work, too. Miranda Richardson, whose reddish curls are threatening to mutiny and take over her face, laughs at her own clip. Here's Hilary Swank's Iron-Jawed Angels clip. Also good to see her working--for a while, with that Affair of the Necklace movie that followed Boys Don't Cry, I was afraid she wasn't ever going to work again, either. Aaaand Glenn Close wins. Everyone is happy. She cries.

Mom comes upstairs, so I miss Close's speech. She is incensed that musicals and comedies are lumped together. I tell her that this is because there usually aren't any musicals, and there usually aren't that many really great comedies, so it's sort of the make-weight category. She is mad. I think she is rooting for Phantom of the Opera on some level. Also, she is really pissed that Lost just... well, lost. Woe.

My mom made that comment, and was really, really pleased with herself.

:is disgruntled:

I really wanted to see Dom in a tux. And, um, Hurley. And Claire. And - I'm gonna stop now.

You didn't see Jorge in a tux (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050117/ids_photos_en/r1293211926.jpg&e=47&ncid=)? (Ian's in that link, too. Mmmmmmm.)

*gasp* And the ultra-rare cameo of Orlando Bloom. He was hiding in the corner.

Ah Senor Cap-ee-tahn Oob-vee-oos. Err. Cap'n Obvious. I knew he was there for a reason. He's a hermit.

We hadn't seen any of the tv movies nominated, but we were cheering for Geoffrey Rush just from that clip! Yay!

Who's Felicity Huffman's husband?

William H. Macy, which is why she got all goofy inotroducing him.

Felicity (that VERY lucky woman) is married to William H Macy

Aww, yeah, I heart him muchly.

Never mind. Just looked it up.

William H. Macy is one of the hardest working men in show business. But I think he's an award whore. Or he tries. Apparently he was playing a deaf guy? He's already played a retarded guy.

Yeah, that was the thought running through my mind as well.

Totally totally unrelated, but am I the only person who keeps thinking that the Globes theme music is "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" by Elton John? It's beginning to bug me.. I really want to hear that song now.

And this just minutes after I told you that apparently Cate is turning into the Glenn Close of her generation, in the ability/awards ratio. Awwww, Glenn. All that Dalmatian poo you suffered through...

I love when they randomly show shots of celebs, and they have no idea they are on camera. Some of them have such blank looks, it's great.

The Lion in Winter was GREAT! If you haven't seen it, it seems like a movie that you'd really enjoy!

Well, I mean, I adore the original. I just haven't seen the remake.

I have seen The Lion in Winter with Stewart and Close. It's no O'Toole/Hepburn, but it's decent. It originally aired on Showtime, but you can buy it on DVD from Amazon pretty cheaply.

Plus, it has Johnathan Rhys-Meyers in the Timothy Dalton role (Philip).

I don't wanna be a bossy buttons, but you should really see Lion in Winter.

Also, Glen Close's speech started with her asking Meryl Streep's permission to win the award. :)

Well, again, I adore the original. Just for some reason, when I saw an article in passing, I thought Glenn Close was doing LIW onstage or something--not on Showtime. So I totally missed that one.
