The Globes were a bit dull. Just like the Emmys, Ricky Gervais was the only real highlight. I did like Laura Linney's speech and Tracy Morgan's irreverence. But jees, the Globes felt long.Although generally an actor, say Tom Hanks-- who was right there-- would normally be asked, I admire the HFPA for choosing Martin Scorsese to present to Spielberg. It seemed more genuine. The clip reel was weak (how do you screw that up?). I did like Spielberg's speech (and seeing Drew Barrymore-- Gertie!-- in the audience).
Surprises? A few. Colin Farrell-- a pleasant surprise. Oddly, Vicky Christina Barcelona won up against the others (despite no other wins) but go Woody! And of course Kate Winslet's double win-- hated her speeches-- if you can call them that. Poor Penelope Cruz-- supporting should have been hers.
There was a whole lotta love in the room for Mickey Rourke-- will he win the Oscar?
