It's time for the 62nd Golden Globes recap. The Hollywood Foreign Press is giving out their annual TV and film awards this evening at the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. I didn't see the red carpet festivities because I saw Peyton lose AGAIN to the Pats.



Maybe the Colts need to get Tee Martin at QB.

I briefly saw the Golden Globe red carpet hosts Nancy Odell, the sickly Al Roker and Lisa Ling (all I can say about her is "Those are new".)

Here we go:

8:02 Renee Zellweger and her Chinese eyes present the first award of the evening. Best Supporting Actor to Clive Owen from "Closer". I just uttered the first WTF of the night. Somebody must have been owed something.

8:05 Best Supporting Actress presented by Tim Robbins, who still lives in the country. I utter the second WTF of the evening as Natalie Portman wins for "Closer". But she's hot, so I move on...but somebody must have been owed something.



8:11 Jennifer Garner (looking splendid, I might add) and Marky Mark present a Best Supporting Actress for TV. Angelica Huston wins for something I didn't see. Something about "Jaws". She "loves the business".

8:13 Jen and Marky with the Best Supporting Actor for TV. Omigod, Shatner wins!!! And gets a kiss from James Spader. He thanked the wife. Businesslike speech, as if he should have won in the past for "T.J. Hooker" or something.

8:20 Diane Lane, looking terrific, introduces something I didn't see, "Kinsey". I hate when they can't show an actual clip, but show a trailer.

8:21 Jim Carrey says, "Good evening, human units." The Italian President of the Foreign Press is mocked by Carrey. This Italian dude introduces Bill Clinton, so he can talk about tsunami aid.

8:25 Claire Danes (boy, the beautiful women just don't stop) and Topher come out for Best Actress Drama for TV. Mariska Hargitay from "Law and Order" wins. Did I miss weird guy at the table? Nope, her Dad was there.



8:28 Clint Eastwood's daughter is a helper this evening. You know, the second-generation daughter who brings the hardware from out back. Now for Drama Series Actor TV. Ian McShane wins for "Deadwood". Do I have to say WTF again? Good actor, but does anyone watch that? He gives a neat acceptance that ends with "Peace in 2005, everybody."

8:35 It's Coach Carter. He introduces "The Incredibles". An actual clip!!

8:37 It's Grandma Streep. She says meanly, "Congratulations, Natalie." as Portman beat her in her category. It's a TV award for Best something-or-other. The "Peter Sellers" movie wins. All of a sudden, "What's New Pussycat?" by Tom Jones is blasted more than any music, thus far. Of course, it's an HBO production.

8:41 Best Actor TV Comedy is presented by an "ER" guy and a "Will and Grace" chick. Jason Bateman wins!!! He is so damn funny on "Arrested Development". He thanked the "future fans" of the show, saying "I can't be more subtle than that". I am Tivoing the show as we speak.



8:46 When did McDonald's become so urban? The chick rappin' about salad is stupid. I'm not lovin' it.

8:49 Halle Berry introduces "Finding Neverland". Again, a trailer, not a clip. Dumb.

8:50 Will Farrell with an eye patch. Says the boating accident was not as bad as reported, that he has to wear the patch only for a couple of months. He then puts on glasses to read the cue cards. That was funny. Annette Bening wins for something I never heard of. But everyone seems to like her, so I won't say WTF.



8:55 CSI: New York chick and the Missing guy (CBS promo) give out the TV drama award. "Nip/Tuck" in a major upset beating "The Sopranos". And, of course, it looks like all of FX goes up to accept. Guy thanks FX for allowing him to have "conjoined twins and a three-way" in the same episode. Sounds like fun for the whole family. Especially if your family name is Manson.

9:02 The tune "Stacy's Mom" on a Dr. Pepper commercial? Gimme a break.

9:05 Naomi Watts (she looks unbelievable) introduces "Eternal Title of the Endless Length". Trailer.



9:07 Crap, it's the "Desperate Housewives" chicks. Category must be Best Performance in a TV drama. I take it back. Eva is making me Longoria. That Nicolette Sheridan is so full of herself. Shine Guy wins for "Peter Sellers". Guess what comes back on? Yes, it's Tom Jones. He dropped a pun about "vowel movements" which was quite clever.

9:12 Al Pacino, looking like a human unit, comes out to introduce the Drama Actress award. Glenn Close wins for something. I think she played a queen. Hey, this was a Showtime production. That's amazing for that network. She's threatening to have the longest speech of the evening, but she stops abruptly.

9:23 Glenn Close, still thanking people, introduces "Closer". It's a clip!!! Mmmm...Portman.

9:24 Scarlett and Ewan present Foreign flick. I'm bored, so I just had a glass of V-8. Man, that's good stuff. I wonder what the 8 vegetables are? BTW, some foreign guys win. They are Spanish. The guy calls Javier Bardem a "henius". And the Holden Hlobes carry on.

9:32 Minnie and her drivers introduce "The Phantom of the Opera". Trailer.

9:34 Matthew McConaghey and someone I didn't see present the "Sideways" writers with an award. The old "stiff the actors, but give the writers an award" thing.

9:36 Mekhi Phifer and an "O.C" woman give out an award for TV actress. Teri Hatcher wins...she's a weirdo, but she's in FHM. Nicolette Sheridan looks pissed. Actually, it was a nice speech.



9:47 OK, Laurence Fishburne intro'ed something I missed, but Lisa Marie Presley (wearing a freakin' cape!!) and a black guy gave out the Best Movie Score to "The Aviator". Who is this dude, as they intro the Best Movie Song award. There's a Jagger song and he's there, so guess who won? Yep, one of the Glimmer Twins and Dave Stewart, the old Eurhythmic. Best line of the night as Mick says, "Thanks to all those at Paramount and all who used to work at Paramount." Great inside joke from an outsider. Dave thanked "all of his kids, all of Mick's kids, and all of their kids' kids" before Mick told him "there were too many to mention".



9:54 Good HP commercial with that song from the Kinks. Bad AmEx commercial from DeNiro.

9:57 Biggest ovation of the night, thus far, is for...Prince!!! He introduces "Ray". A scene!!!



9:58 Ron Howard sans baseball cap gives out the Best Director Movie Award. For some reason as he introduces the nominees, there is background music playing. Clint wins. I love boxing. People are standing. Nice ovation. Nice speech.

10:02 Diane Keaton is still weird. Best Actor Musical or Comedy. No music over nominees. Jamie Foxx clapped for himself, but won for Ray. Long way from "Booty Call". People are standing. He sings. Very nice speech, with some very funny lines. Seemed genuinely humbled by it all.

10:09 I get to take a break, as Robin Williams, who hasn't been funny in 20 years, wins a lifetime achievement award. Who's next, Red Buttons? Hey, the snow plow just when past. Pierce Brosnan with the introduction. I can't stand this. "Good Morning Vietnam" was how long ago? OK, that and "The Fisher King" and "Dead Again". I'm gonna puke, it's "Patch Adams". Mike Nichols, the director of "Closer", brings out the award. Mmmmm, two actor awards for "Closer". Maybe a tradeoff for Nichols being there? Hey, at least Robin let me know who the black dude was. It was Puff Daddy. Or was it Usher?

10:31 Orlando Bloom! Who knew he was British? OK, I knew who he was, but he wins the Reggie Cleveland Name Award-Hollywood Division. You know, white guy with the black sounding name. He introduces something I missed.

10:33 There's a girl on stage and they call her Charlize! Actor Movie Award. Leo wins for "The Aviator". And he's there. Women faint around the globe. Nice words for Marty. He thanked his parents, too. And pitched for more tsunami aid. I wonder if he still parties a lot.



10:37 No offense, but do you really want Larry King in your movie ads? Again, what demographic are you going for? But "The Phantom" movie and "Friday Night Lights" DVD version is using King in their ads. Idiots.

10:40 Comedy Award. It's "Sopranos" guy and Patricia Arquette. Crap. "Desperate Housewives" wins. Oh God, they'll be on every show for the next year. The creator is going on and on. Well, at least he seems happy.

10:44 Kate Hudson introduces "Sideways". It's a trailer.

10:45 Dustin Hoffman in human unit mode. Actress Movie Drama. Hilary Swank wins. What if she hit Hoffman with a right hook? Morgan Freeman gets his props. Clint, as well.

10:54 Stallone sounds drunk. He introduces "Million Dollar Baby".

10:55 Best Musical or Comedy by Goldie Hawn. "Sideways" wins the award. Great movie. The cast goes up. Man, Giamatti was so good in that movie.

10:58 It's Nikki the K. Best Movie Drama. It goes to "The Aviator". They have a nearby table. Leo back up there with Marty. Marty looks overwhelmed. It really is his best movie in a long time. We're runnin' over on time. Get on with it.

11:01 Nikki bids us "Good night!" The announcer says if you missed any of the show, it's on Bravo later this week.
