Golden Globes liveblog #13

"Actress and producer! Salma Hayek!" Her dress looks a little more neutral/pale and less dingy under the stage lights, so that's nice. It fits beautifully, of course. Also, she says something about a "luNATic" character, which cracks me up. She presents the clip from Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

And here's Sacha Baron Cohen talking about how hard the economy has been on Hollywood: "Victoria Beckham hasn't eaten in three weeks. Charlie Sheen has been forced to have sex without paying for it. [Groan from the audience.] It's true! And Madonna has had to get rid of one of her personal assistants. Our hearts go out to you, Guy Ritchie." Another OHHHHHHHH goes up in the audience--I'm not sure who I saw shaking her head and laughing, possibly Sandra Bullock.

BEST MOTION PICTURE, MUSICAL OR COMEDY

"Burn After Reading"
"Happy-Go-Lucky"
"In Bruges"
"Mamma Mia!"
"Vicky Cristina Barcelona"

And... Vicky Cristina Barcelona wins. Somehow, I did not see that coming. Huh.

Okay, I'm not hitting post for one award, because this is ridiculous.

And here's the clip for Slumdog Millionaire, presented by--and I did my homework on this one--Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan and Slumdog costar Freida Pinto (very nice dress--what would you call the color, a subdued mustard?).

(Wait, is Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? really a plot point? That's fantastic.)

Cameron Diaz (in a pink one-shoulder) and Mark Wahlberg ramble on about I have no idea what before getting to

BEST DRAMATIC ACTRESS

Anne Hathaway, "Rachel Getting Married"
Angelina Jolie, "Changeling"
Meryl Streep, "Doubt"
Kristin Scott Thomas, "I've Loved You So Long"
Kate Winslet, "Revolutionary Road

Kate Winslet wins again, screaming "Oh MY GOD!" She hugs everyone at her table and also Emma Thompson (AWWWWW). She's literally (and I do not use "literally" lightly) hyperventilating by the time she's onstage: "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Meryl! Anne! Kristin! Oh God! Who's the other one! ANGELINA!" She stands up there and pants for about a full minute without speaking coherently, I am not kidding. "Thank you! Thank you! Oh, 'wrap up,' you have NO IDEA how much I am NOT WRAPPING UP." She stands there and starts heaving out names like she's relieved just to have remembered them ("Scott Rudin! SCOTT RUDIN!!"). I am really concerned about her. She might actually pass out any moment now, I'm not sure. "Leo! I'm so happy I can stand up here and tell you how much I love you and how much I've loved you for thirteen years! I love you with all my heart." Oh my God. That just happened. She then spoils it all by thanking her husband. (Hee.) And then she thanks her children and everyone else she can possibly think of before she turns blue and falls over. "Thank you so much! Thank you! So much! MY GOD!"

And here's Blake Lively and Rainn Wilson. "We're TV actors!" he says defiantly. "Let's hear it for TV actors!" And then there's some bit about the discrimination of not letting Wilson play the lead on Gossip Girl. Really, you guys, there's no way to follow up Kate Winslet having a five-minute onstage nervous breakdown. Just let it go, really.

DRAMATIC TV SERIES

"Dexter"
"House M.D."
"In Treatment"
"Mad Men"
"True Blood"

Mad Men wins. I didn't really pay much attention to this because I was so busy trying to write up the Kate Winslet thing. Thank God she finally won something, y'all.

NOT JUST A TEA BOY!

[gracefallson-me.livejournal.com]

what exactly has Mickey done to himself? he looks AWFUL and i have never heard of this film until tonight. i HATE when that happens!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's been doing that to himself for a while. On the plus side, The Wrestler is probably the perfect role for him and he really runs with it -- you watch it and remember hey, he used to be an actor, and it looks like he still is.

[quizzicalsphinx.livejournal.com]

Go ye forth and see Slumdog Millionaire this very instant and it will probably be the best thing that happens to you all day, unless of course you have had a very eventful day.

[swordmage.livejournal.com]

My dad saw it, and said it was all kinds of very-damned-good.

[thecolourclear.livejournal.com]

OMG. KATE IS ADORABLE.

[amleto.livejournal.com]

"The English actress stole my crying bit" was all you need to know about the Mad Men acceptance blurb. I am amused.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee.

[katzies.livejournal.com]

KATE!!!!

OK, Leo didn't win *sobs* but Kate x 2 totally makes up for that.

[cherrymaryberry.livejournal.com]

I know Leo should have gotten it but at least he already has one. That's a bit of a brightside. Him blowing kisses at Kate was just adorable!!! And I could have sworn I saw him tear up a little bit when Kate was talking about him. She looked like she was about to pass out on the second time.

Keep your fingers cross for the Oscars!! =D

[byandby.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy she won. Hopefully, this will be her year for the Oscars too.

[cherrymaryberry.livejournal.com]

They should just hand her one when she walks in the door!!

Sometimes when someone wins the Golden Globe gets the Oscar, I'm hoping this is true for Kate.

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

(Wait, is Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? really a plot point? That's fantastic.)

Hee, pretty much; the movie is made up of a lot of flashbacks that explain why he knew the answers to the questions. The clip they just showed may have made me tear up in the movie theatre.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

I was so annoyed that they used such a spoilery clip! I mean, that moment in the actual movie had me on the edge of my goddamn seat. Don't show everyone! Come on now.

[shandybandy.livejournal.com]

"Oh God who's the other one"

I just died - Kate's awesome

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

that's all I can think of. And Rainn Wilson is God, really.

[syustat71605.livejournal.com]

Kate's speech is the best one so far tonight. Go Kate!!!!!!!!

[bella-stella78.livejournal.com]

I agree! I love when you she told the "wrapper" she wasn't done yet and to pretty much piss off.

[anonymeet.livejournal.com]

Really, Hollywood? Sasha Baron Cohen making fun of Madonna - that's the one that offended you? Really? Huh.

[enid-keaner.livejournal.com]

YAY KATE AND MAD MEN!

[kellyrfineman.livejournal.com]

I was so, so happy to see Kate Winslet completely drop her basket up there. It was fabulous. And then when she told Leo that she loved him with all her heart, and he blew kisses at her, I thought I was a little in love with Kate myself. And her husband didn't seem bothered by it in the slightest, so I say all's well there. But it was still fabulous television.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

Leo made my heart melt, but that's not unusual.

Gah I so want an animated icon of him blowing kisses at her.

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the clip they showed of Slumdog Millionaire? Has so much significance in the movie and had me crying. Best use of a game show EVER.

[himhilien.livejournal.com]

Kate is too adorable.

[gracefallson-me.livejournal.com]

i like the fact that he called them the big cheeses.

[meatbridge.livejournal.com]

Okay, I think I have to see Slumdog Millionaire now.

[thisiamdenied.livejournal.com]

I adore you, Rainn Wilson.

YAY, KATE!

Slumdog Millionaire

[bella-stella78.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm so glad you liveblogged the globes. I missed who had won some of the awards, and you helped fill in the blanks.

I am so giddy that "Slumdog Millionaire" won so many awards!!! If you haven't seen the film, you need to go ASAP. That is seriously one of the best films I've seen. Ever.

[joaniemaloney.livejournal.com]

That bit with Kate was my favourite part of the night. She was so adorable! & I actually was afraid for her passing out or something, haha.

[divadeanna.livejournal.com]

Yay she won!! CAN SHE PLEASE WIN AN OSCAR NOW????? Gah, if she doesn't this year, I'm just gonna start throwing things.

[cherrymaryberry.livejournal.com]

They just need to hand to her when she walks down the red carpet! And Leo!! =D

[mudpuppy83.livejournal.com]

My wife and I were both gleeful about Sharukh Khan presenting the clip. The only way that it could have been better would have been for Amitabh Bachchan to present it with him.

And we both really need to see Slumdog Millionaire...

[lilyofshalott]

YAY KATE!

There was much rejoicing at my house.

[kirsdarke.livejournal.com]

Aww, Kate Winslet's speech melted my cold little heart.

And I was actually kind of cheering on the girl in the "Slumdog Millionaire" clip.
