Golden Globes LiveBlog!

6:00 TVNZ: "Ah, Ryan Seacrest, we meet again."

6:03 Olivia Wilde starts the night off right fashion-wise with a gorgeous Marchesa dress. But her hair is a strange color and I don't like her bangs. If she had pulled off the whole look, I might have died of jealousy, so it's good that she didn't.


6:15 It's not normal that I just immediately recognized Kevin Spacey's voice in that Kayak ad.

6:19 Speaking of Kevin Spacey, there he is! I like his sunglasses! Weeeee!

6:20 Jennifer Love Hewitt, you are wearing a Jersey girl's high school prom dress. And you are orange. And you just tried to pronounce Hawaii like a native. Sorry.


6:26 Mark Salling gets flustered when Ryan Seacrest asks him if he's a "player" like his character. Kind of sweet but also kind of embarrassing that these Glee kids don't know how to manuver the red carpet (with the exception of Lea Michele).

6:29 Jayma Mays looks incredible. Love her.

6:38 Ricky Gervais: "Beer's not an alcoholic drink...it's like a soft drink."

6:43 Natalie Portman's dress is so ugly. Looks like a pink drape with a Christmas bow stuck on it. I am happy about this because I don't like her. Shadenfreude.

6:45 Jimmy Fallon - being the class act he is - shakes all the fans' hands he can reach.

6:48 Julie Bowen is her character on Modern Family. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, though! Guys!

6:52 Giuliana calls everyone "sweetie." Is this an Italian thing?

7:00 Ryan is interviewing my two favorite people in Hollywood at once - Jimmy Fallon and Jason Segel! Also, Heather Morris and Naya Rivera look fantastic. Heather Morris looked so good at the Fox Party the other night, too. Love to see Hollywood rookies shutting it down. A glimpse of January Jones' dress tells me she's continuing on her quest to convince us she's not Betty Draper by dressing like a fembot.


7:02 Jake Gyllenhaal and Jason Segel high-five. My heart grows ten sizes.

7:03 I wish Ryan would ask Jake Gyllenhaal about Taylor Swift. It's the elephant in the room, Seacrest...

7:05 Emma Stone was just kind of condescending? "Those are like apples and oranges, maaaan." Also, she looks like Lindsay Lohan lately, circa Herbie: Fully Loaded.


7:15 Jane Lynch is the most sincere person Ryan has ever interviewed and he doesn't know how to handle it.

7:27 Mila Kunis won't give details on how she lost weight for Black Swan, other than "you try to do it in heathiest way possible." Yikes...

7:28 RDJ is rocking the Sherlock hair and I am obsessed with it.

7:36 JON HAMM!

7:43 Megan Fox looks beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Everyone is wearing pink tonight, but she's the only one who did it right.


7:53 Helen Mirren gives Tilda Swinton a huge hug. Really cute.

7:55 January Jones says there's no friction between the Mad Men cast because they "party a lot together." New life goal: sneak in to one of those parties.

8:03 Chris Noth nodding at the Sex and the City 2 airbrushing joke. Yes.

8:06 Andrew Garfield looks cute and Jeremy Renner broods. Also, the sky is blue. Best Supporting Actor in a Drama goes to...Christian Bale for The Fighter, as expected (and well deserved). I hope his speech has so many crazy hijinks.

8:07 Okay...he's doing very well! What he said about Mark having to play a quiet character in The Fighter so that his character could shine is so true. Very classy. Ohhh...and just when you think he's done it without losing his mind, he says something to Robert DeNiro that gets bleeped and takes his sweet time getting offstage. I suppose that's why we love him.

8:10 WOW! Katey Sagal is a total upset! I was going to throw something at my TV if it was Kyra Sedgwick.

8:17 Julianne Moore, why are you dressed like that?

8:21 A lot of guy love going on with this Carlos cast.

8:22 Everyone laughs nervously because Ricky Gervais made a Bruce Willis joke, and then there's Bruce Willis, looking like he's going to kill someone. But that's also just because that's how he always looks.

8:24 BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A TV SERIES (DRAMA) SHOULD BE GOING TO AARON PAUL. I hate this category.

8:26 Actually I don't, because even though I think all Chris Colfer does is cry every episode, I saw Heather Morris' and Lea Michele's reactions and apparently got something in my eye so excuse me for a second.

8:27 I love Leighton Meester and I love her dress. Someone please tell me why Serena is the new Chanel girl and not Blair. Also, I just got excited because Leighton Meester and Hugh Laurie are in the same room, which reminds me that I cannot wait for The Oranges (their movie together).


8:34 I always forget that the Golden Globes doesn't have any boring categories. Every single one that comes along is exciting. Hope Best Actor in a TV Drama goes to Jon Hamm, but seeing Bryan Cranston with his Walt White hair again makes me nostalgic...and then there's Hugh Laurie, who is consistently good...meh, it's Steve Buscemi. Wait a minute, it's not Jon Hamm? "The Suitcase" should've made him a shoo-in.

8:36 Ugh, I hate when people have pre-written acceptance speeches.

8:38 Best TV Drama goes to Boardwalk Empire. Really? Is this going to be one of those things? That's really annoying. This was Mad Men's best season yet.

8:40 Angie fixing Brad's tie: okay, you got me. Cute.

8:44 Oh God, poor Andrew Garfield. That was really awkward. I think he needs to relax in general. Especially after reading that recent Details article, I like him less and less. Who is that girl sitting with Aaron Sorkin?

8:56 Every time I see The Biebs with a girl his age, she's taller than he is. Girls in his music videos included.

8:58 Hi, Jeremy Irons! Also, Helen Mirren and Robert Pattinson are at the same table, which makes me happy. British people! Why is Tom Hanks always shouting something at someone every time he's on camera? Shut up, Tom Hanks.

9:00 Gervais, you're lucky RDJ has a good sense of humor about his addict days, because he is craaazy  like a fox. Oh wait, RDJ goes off-book to call out Gervais for his mean-spirited humor. Nice. He then calls out all the ladies for not sleeping with him. Weeelll, they should be so lucky. Everyone's laughing but Angie and Anne Hathaway. Of course. Any way, this is totally inappropriate and anyone else doing this bit would be creepy but it's him, so it's okay.

9:02 Anette Benning's acceptance speech for Best Actress in a Comedy has a dash of Alice Ripley crazy going on. "THE AWARD FOR BEST PROMISING ACTOR IN 1996, MY HUSBAND." A well-deserved shout out to Julianne Moore, though: "Julianne, you are a class act. Thank you."

9:16 Another class act - Al Pacino. Loving Tilda Swinson's over-enunciation - "The Pillars of the EARTH." Also, ugh Claire Danes, at least try to look surprised (she just won for Best Actress in a Made for TV Movie).

9:24 It's the Zef! (That's Zac Efron, to all non-teeny boppers out there.) I love how his face is like, I've got this. It's strange how he's a vet compared to The Social Network cast, that girl from True Grit who I wish would go away, Justin Bieber, etc.

9:26 HAH. Steve Carrell pushes Ricky Gervais away when Gervais goes in for a hug.

9:27 Sorkin, you magnificent bastard. Your talent is palpable. But you are also an ass. Very sweet how supportive The Social Network table is. But the shoutout to Zuck was unnecessary (an entrenpreneur can still be a jerk) and thanks to some Jezebel viewers, I realize the "smart girls" comment was a thinly veiled insult at critics of The Social Network's sexism. Whatevs, I'm just glad Sorkin's writing (well) again. RIP West Wing.

9:29 Sofia Vergara, stop clapping for yourself so wildly.

9:32 Oh my goodness, the matchmaker in me loves seeing Mila Kunis and James Franco chit-chatting. Also, sorry, but Sandra Bullock looks like a hot mess.

9:41 Matthew Morrison cheers for Lea Michele. Look, not everyone hates her! There's hope for you yet, Lea.

9:49 Wow. Can't believe Steve Carrell didn't win for Best Actor in a TV Series (Comedy). Didn't Jim Parsons just win the Emmy for this role too? Kaley's reaction is so cute, though. I find it very hard to believe anyone has to deal with Parsons' "trying ways." He seems like a sweetheart.

9:50 YES! Jeremy Irons. Your voice. "ACK-tress." I'd listen to you read the damn phonebook. Oh my god, YES! Melissa Leo wins for Best Supporting Actress for The Fighter! She was so incredible in that movie. So horribly good. "All that and kissed by Jeremy Irons!! Look Mom, I got a golden Globe!" Oh, I LOVE HER! "Mark Wahlberg, you are a prince," she says, and Amy Adams nods in agreement. A gorgeous speech and an award that couldn't have and shouldn't have gone to anyone else.

10:03 Angie applying lip gloss and "whooping" for Robert DeNiro makes her human and I love it.

10:04 Time for DeNiro's Lifetime Achievement Award. Tom Hanks about to cry humanizes him, even though I still hatechu, Tom Hanks. Also, why isn't DeNiro crying? Don't you kind of have an obligation  to cry when you get a Lifetime Achievement Award?

10:15 I just gave Darren Aronofsky and his ironic hipster mustache the finger. So what, who cares? David Fincher wins for Best Director! Again, The Social Network table is thrilled. Andrew Garfield, you are redeeming yourself. Sorkin gives Fincher a kiss on the cheek, Fincher gives a great speech and calls his cast "The Dream Team." Love it.

10:18 January Jones, your dress is so bad! It's literally tattered at the bottom. The Glee clip shows Mr. Schu clapping earnestly, and I miss how good Season 1 was. Glee wins for Best TV Series (Comedy), and I wish Ryan Murphy wasn't so smarmy.

10:26 Time for Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical. Hahahhhaaaaa, Johnny Depp just giggled to himself when Halle Berry said his name twice. Paul Giamatti? Really? Giamatti accepts his award from Halle Berry and then proceeds to murmur her name. She looks nervous and is probably praying she won't get Adrien Brody-style kissed again.

10:27 Giamatti says his fellow nominees are above him in every regard, and Gyllenhaal CRACKS UP. I LOVE IT!

10:35 Natalie Portman wins for Black Swan. I hate you, Black Swan. Natalie Portman was obviously expecting it, but her speech is still super awkward. Harvard!

10:46 Sandra Bullock wasn't at all who I saw playing the mom in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, so I hope the movie still works. Again, The Social Network table goes nuts when Jesse Eisenberg's name is called during the list of nominees for Best Actor in a Drama.

10:48 And in a surprise to absolutely no one, Colin Firth wins the category. Love him. And he gives a very charming, very British acceptance speech - without a piece of paper. Thank you, Mr. Darcy.

10:55 Love the huge standing O for Michael Douglas. RDJ pumps his fist in the air. Very, very sweet. Best Picture goes to...The Social Network. Really cool. Seriously, this was such a film. Kevin Spacey (a producer of the film) gets a kiss on the cheek from - again - Aaron Sorkin. The Trent Reznor music in the background makes the whole thing really emotional too. Of COURSE Jesse and Andrew stay sitting at the table until they are made to come up on stage. Andrew can't even look at the audience; he has to turn around. The producer thanks everyone for an amazing year in movies, and that's really quite true - because it was a better year than most.
