"You had to be a big shot, didn'tcha?"

Golden Globe Commentary so far -

Happy Moments:
  • Sandra Oh won for Grey's Anatomy
  • S. Epatha Merkerson won for Lackawanna Blues (and she got to bring Jesse L. Martin as her DATE! SO not fair!)
  • Hugh Laurie won for House
  • Mary-Louise Parker beat 4 Desperate Housewives for Best Actress in a TV Series-Comedy ("Weeds" on Showtime)
  • John Williams wins again! I can't wait to see Memoirs of a Geisha. I wonder if the other movie score-writers just write off the award whenever he is nominated?
Most touching moment so far - Mary-Louise Parker, in her acceptance speech, also mentioned what a wonderful man John Spencer was. This is probably the only time he'll be mentioned (except for the In Memoriam montage, which is basically a "who gets the most applause" competition...) since West Wing wasn't nominated for ANYTHING.

Worst dressed -
  • Virginia Madsen is about to pop out of her dress (Mariah Carey is too, but that's not unusual)!
  • Harrison Ford needs to shave, as does Jeremy Piven (even though I love them both, Harrison looks old, and Piven just looks scruffy). What's with the furry-chinned men this year? Paul Giamatti has a thick beard, and Colin Firth, too. Neatly trimmed is nice (see Jesse L. Martin, for example)... but this scruffy thing, eh.
  • And Gwynnie, I know you're preggers, but please. What's with the fru-fru? (At least it's not as bad as that horrible goth outfit from 2002)

Blech, DH won the award for best TV Comedy. But Felicity looks lovely.

I'm sure I'll have more to say later.
