Update: Golden Globe show thoughts:

9:01 pm: The full winners list is here. (I switched to "24" at 8, so didn't catch the past hour.

7:55 pm: So glad Christopher Walz won best actor in Inglourious Basterds. He was great as the SS officer -- there were so many facets to the character's personality, it was like five characters in one.

7:05 pm: I always love when Merly Streep wins and she deserves it for Julia and Julia. Really emotional and moving acceptance speech, you could hear a pin drop.

6:45 pm; Julia Roberts sitting next to Paul McCartney. Cher looks great. This is such a much better show than the Oscars. Avatar first nomination: Best original score. Will it win? No, "Up" wins this one.

6:35 pm: Glenn Close looks very pretty. Juliana Margolies wins for The Good Wife. I didn't like the show the first few episodes, but it grew on me, as did her acting. I'm glad she won. Damages wasn't that good this season. Great slam at NBC, she thanks her network "for believing in the 10:00 drama." [More...]

6:13 pm MT: Ricky Gervais was funny, Nicole was stunning and referenced Haiti really well, and the winner of the best supporting actress was incredibly passionate and filled with grace.

I think Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson look really good, I like their dresses. Some of the other dresses, not so much.

Edie Falco didn't win, but she looks great with a tan.

The 67th Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast tonight on NBC and the red carpet arrivals are ongoing. It's raining in LA and there are umbrellas everywhere. All the stars have ribbons for the Haiti victims and many are careful to tell the interviewers they know the show isn't as important as what's going on in Haiti. [More....]

Here's the complete list of nominees.

Up in the Air scored a leading six nominations for the 67th Annual Golden Globes. Nine was next with five, followed by Avatar and Inglourious Basterds with four. On the TV side, newcomer Glee led all contenders with four nominations, followed by 30 Rock, Damages, Dexter and Big Love, with three apiece.

The latest presenters list is here. The Red Carpet begins on E! at 3pm PT, 6pm ET.

You can also follow E!'s Red Carpet on Twitter. Over at TV Guide Network, the red carpet also begins at 3pm PT and is being hosted by Chris Harrison (The Bachelor/ette) and Carrie Inaba (DWTS.) It will feature a 3-D Hologram Glam Cam .

Watched "Public Enemies" (5.00 / 1) (#5)
by KeysDan on Sun Jan 17, 2010 at 06:17:45 PM EST

on this rainy, cool afternoon. I thought it was very good, although I do love that period and enjoy Johnny Depp. "Inglorious Basterds" continues to be among my favorites--no too much in the way of recognition. Christoph Waltz, the Austrian actor who played the Nazi SS officer, deserves the award for best supporting actor, if not best actor.

by Jeralyn on Sun Jan 17, 2010 at 06:24:25 PM EST

Public Enemies, it was very depressing and long, but I love Johnny Depp in anything. I've seen Inglorious twice now and liked it much better the second time, and yes, Christoph Waltz deserves an award. He had such a great range -- very non one-dimensional.

by KeysDan on Sun Jan 17, 2010 at 06:41:48 PM EST

depressing, I don.t know. It did appear to be historically representative as Hollywood goes and gave some insight into the rise of Mitchell Palmer's protege, J. Edgar Hoover, and his faux law and order and red scare schtick , that carried him for forty years. But, I have a friend who has the same view as you, plus the added criticism that it somehow did not all come together.

up her lines? I love her, but that was just awful. At least she looked gorgeous.

Meryl Streep so changed the tone (5.00 / 1) (#20)
by Jeralyn on Sun Jan 17, 2010 at 08:07:44 PM EST

I couldn't figure out where she was going at first with the stuff about her mother and then she brought it all together.

I always love it when she wins too.

Ricky earned his keep with that one.

YAY - Sandra Bullock (5.00 / 1) (#35)
by Inspector Gadget on Sun Jan 17, 2010 at 09:40:51 PM EST

She's always been one I enjoy in nearly every role she's played.

If you didn't read it today, she contributed $1M to the Haiti relief fund. (That's normal for her, she's done that for several earlier natural disasters, as well.)

You must have missed "Two If by Sea." (5.00 / 1) (#42)

is getting so many props. Yes it was a good movie, but it wasn't great. It was well acted, with pretty people- not award winning good.

I thought it was a slight film without much new to offer. Certainly not the defining film of this generation that many reviewers claim it is.

I can think of about six to eight awards shows that are nationally televised each year, 3 or 4 for tv and film and 3 or 4 for music. Perhaps you just aren't interested? If that's the case, why bother to comment?

by ruffian on Sun Jan 17, 2010 at 08:53:38 PM EST

but I have a feeling he is going to get some bad reviews. I was worried they pulled him off - he didn't come back for what seemed like a very long time.

by Inspector Gadget on Sun Jan 17, 2010 at 09:04:43 PM EST

he refused to rehearse and put the producers on edge...and, he said he was going to drink during the show.

The hosts often disappear for long periods during the award portion. They open the show, then appear at key intervals. It would get really old to have non-stop comic quips too often during these.


I loved him plugging his version of (none / 0) (#28)
by ruffian on Sun Jan 17, 2010 at 09:11:35 PM EST

'The Office' right off the bat, in their face. All the producers of this show had to do was watch his version of that compared to the bland NBC version and they would know they were in for an uncomfortable night., He does not shy away from the awkward. But I would not have predicted p** jokes in the opening monologue.

....they might have told him to drop that hysterical part of the opening....the reduction, so now he has only one!!

... coverage from multiple sources for yapping purposes while recording awards show to view in the AM.

I miss the bad old days of No Stylists, when many stars dressed themselves and the screen often looked like a microwaved snack gone horribly horribly wrong.

the show when it started but she and the show really grew on me. I think because they toned down the Mommy aspect. I don't like the kids much. Now I look forward to it.

The star of the show suffers from recently-diagnosed lymphoma, I think I read.

I jsut can't get myself motivated to watch that show, for some reason. I guess I should give it a go sometime. I was rooting for Dexter.

with Kristin Chenoweth guest-starring on itunes or something. One of the funniest and most entertaining hours of TV I've seen in a long time. I kept it saved on tivo just to watch every now and then.

It's not going to change your life or anything, but it is great pure entertainment.
