Best Picture - Musical or Comedy is Burn after Reading, Happy Go Lucky, In Bruges, Mamma Mia!, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
- David Mumpower, 6:48 pm
Here's what I'm rooting for tonight: Slumdog Millionaire, WALL-E, Doubt's screenplay, Mad Men and January Jones and Jon Hamm, and -- okay. Who am I kidding? What I'm really rooting for is drunken celebrities doing mock-worthy things. Don't let me down, David Duchovny! - Calvin Trager, 6:48 pm Best Actress - Drama is Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, Kristin Scott Thomas and Kate Winslet. Best Actress - Comedy or Musical is Rebecca Hall, Sally Hawkins, Frances McDormand, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson. Best Actor - Drama is Leonardo DiCaprio, Frank Langella, Sean Penn, Brad Pitt, and Mickey Rourke. Best Actor - Musical or Comedy is Javier Bardem, Colin Farrell, James Franco (which still blows me away), Brendan Gleeson and Dustin Hoffman. - David Mumpower, 6:50 pm Best Supporting Actress nominees are Amy Adams, Penélope Cruz, Viola Davis, Marisa Tomei, and Kate Winslet. Best Supporting Actor nominees are Tom Cruise, Robert Downey, Jr., Ralph Fiennes, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Heath Ledger. Best Animated Feature Film is Bolt and Kung-Fu Panda up against all odds with Wall-E. Best Foreign Language Film is The Baader Meinhof Complex, Everlasting Moments, Gomorrah, I've Loved You So Long, and Waltz With Bashir. - David Mumpower, 6:55 pm The Best Director category is Danny Boyle, Stephen Daldry, David Fincher, Ron Howard, and Sam Mendes. We think Mendes should win for directing his wife on how best to make love to Leonardo DiCaprio. S&M films aren't that kinky. Finally, Best Screenplay is The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Doubt, Frost/Nixon, The Reader and Slumdog Millionaire. - David Mumpower, 6:59 pm Also, we will be blogging the television stuff in case you were wondering, but we won't be as zealous about it. - David Mumpower, 7:07 pm T-10 minutes, spotted a trailer for He's Just Not That Into You (Feb 6). - Max Braden, 7:53 pm This just in - Salma Hayek displayed cleavage on the red carpet. - Tony Kollath, 7:55 pm I wasn't a Tiki fan when he played for the Giants. But he just said his money's on Slumdog Millionaire, so he's now good people. - Eric Hughes, 8:00 pm No cringe-inducing song parody at the beginning? For shame, Globes producers, for shame. - Reagen Sulewski, 8:01 pm J-Lo is sparkly. - Eric Hughes, 8:01 pm The winner for Best Supporting Actress is Kate Winslet for The Reader. - Kim Hollis, 8:03 pm Hey look, it's Jennifer Lopez. Are we watching the 2001 Golden Globes or are they trying to associate themselves with irrelevance? - Les Winan, 8:03 pm Did she just run a marathon? Maybe she should take a moment. - Reagen Sulewski, 8:04 pm Kate says, "You'll have to forgive me. I have a habit of not winning things," but has a piece of paper with her list of people to thank. - Kim Hollis, 8:04 pm Sure, when Kate Winslet does it, she's a champion. But when Mary Kay Letourneau does it, she's a felon. - David Mumpower, 8:04 pm (Winslet had been nominated five times in the Golden Globes before the two films this year.) - Max Braden, 8:04 pm No one who speaks German could be an evil (wo)man. - Les Winan, 8:05 pm She's thanking the most random people. She needs to brush it up if she expects to make an Oscar speech. - Eric Hughes, 8:05 pm There for a second, I thought Kate Winslet was going to say that Stephen Daldry was her favorite director. - David Mumpower, 8:06 pm She didn't thank me. I feel ripped off. - Reagen Sulewski, 8:06 pm Now we know who's starring in Pirates of the Caribbean 4...Sting! - Les Winan, 8:06 pm Sting appears to have been genetically combined with Bono and neither one of them was allowed to bathe for a month before the procedure. - David Mumpower, 8:06 pm Sting's apparently inspired by Benjamin Button and is aging backward with his dark hair. - Max Braden, 8:07 pm So nice of Sting to take time away from his camping trip. - Reagen Sulewski, 8:07 pm Sting looks like he's ready to go hunt some bears or something. - Eric Hughes, 8:07 pm Peter Gabriel looks a bit like Robert Altman tonight. - Tony Kollath, 8:07 pm Clint Eastwood's wife has a first generation iPhone. HA HA! - Les Winan, 8:07 pm Max, it's as if the foreign press realized that they had to commit to Winslet or she was going to move on to someone new. I guess they listened to the wisdom of Beyonce's Single Ladies. - David Mumpower, 8:08 pm Before the announcement, I get the feeling "The Wrestler" is this year's "Falling Slowly." - Max Braden, 8:08 pm The Golden Globe for Best Original Song - Motion Picture goes to Bruce Springsteen for The Wrestler (I was rooting for Peter Gabriel). - Kim Hollis, 8:09 pm Being nominated for Best Song this year must have been such a bittersweet experience. "I'm up for a major award! Wait, did they just say Springsteen is nominated, too?" - David Mumpower, 8:09 pm Was I the only one hoping for a tour announcement during that speech? - Les Winan, 8:10 pm I'd assume there will be one this year. Bruce is releasing new material in a couple weeks. - Eric Hughes, 8:12 pm Is he doing the soundtrack for My Bloody Valentine 3-D? - David Mumpower, 8:13 pm Trailer for He's Just Not that Into You again. - Max Braden, 8:14 pm Fans of Simon Baker, I recommend renting the overlooked Sex and Death 101. - Max Braden, 8:15 pm Look, it's Rumer Willis and her stepfather, who was 10 years old when she was born! - David Mumpower, 8:15 pm "Now we will slum in the TV world for a bit. Don't worry if you don't recognize these guys, movie stars." - Reagen Sulewski, 8:16 pm The Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series, Mini-Series, or TV Movie goes to Tom Wilkinson for John Adams - Kim Hollis, 8:16 pm Sure, Tom Wilkinson is good, but is he Dr. Horrible good? I think not. - David Mumpower, 8:16 pm I'm surprised Jeremy Piven made an appearance. - Eric Hughes, 8:17 pm Wilkinson is very deserving - he simply *became* Ben Franklin. - Calvin Trager, 8:17 pm Incidentally, I think Wilkinson is one of the great actors working today. - Kim Hollis, 8:17 pm He's not Dr. Horrible good, but he's damn sure better than Barney good. - Kim Hollis, 8:17 pm Come on, Tom, act! - Max Braden, 8:18 pm Uh, what happened to Tom? - Eric Hughes, 8:18 pm And our first visibly intoxicated person on the stage: Tom Wilkinson! - Reagen Sulewski, 8:18 pm The Golden Globe for Supporting actress in a TV Series, Mini-Series or TV Movie goes to Laura Dern for Recount. - Kim Hollis, 8:19 pm I haven't seen most of these performances, so I pick Melissa George since she's far and away the hottest. - David Mumpower, 8:19 pm Hooray!

It went over about as well as New Coke. - David Mumpower, 8:24 pm I hope Don Cheadle has someone watching his back in case Terrence Howard shows up. - Les Winan, 8:25 pm "Hotel for Dogs"? Is that the best credit they could have come up with for Cheadle? - Reagen Sulewski, 8:25 pm "The star of the upcoming movie Hotel for Dogs, Don Cheadle" - Tony Kollath, 8:25 pm Tony, Dern looked even taller by standing next to Danny Strong, BOP's beloved Jonathan on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. His bio says he's 5'2" and I think that's stretching it. - David Mumpower, 8:26 pm I like Cheadle's humorous little jabs but I get the feeling there's a bit of honesty behind them. - Max Braden, 8:27 pm The irony about that, David, is that Dern downplayed Harris if anything. - Reagen Sulewski, 8:27 pm Here's Eva Mendes, your first person on stage who we can assume isn't drunk. - Les Winan, 8:27 pm Uh oh, Sid Ganis just got called out! - Max Braden, 8:29 pm Come on, Michael C.

I'd love to see him costar with Eddie Izzard. - Max Braden, 8:39 pm These Jonas kids must see Hanson and cringe at their future of irrelevance. - David Mumpower, 8:40 pm The Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film goes to WALL-E. - Kim Hollis, 8:40 pm I hope the Jonas Brothers give WALL-E an honorary Promise Ring! - Shane Jenkins, 8:41 pm A better WALL-E acceptance speech would have been going up to the stage, waving, picking up some trash and leaving. - David Mumpower, 8:42 pm "Do the walk, Johnny!" - Max Braden, 8:43 pm Arthur Fonzarelli, Pirate of the Caribbean! - David Mumpower, 8:43 pm Emma, you're so lovely! - Shane Jenkins, 8:43 pm Emma Thompson looks fabulous. - Eric Hughes, 8:43 pm Depp is reading these like he expects to be nominated for Best Reading of an Awards Nominee List. - Reagen Sulewski, 8:43 pm The Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy goes to Sally Hawkins for Happy-Go-Lucky. This is a pretty big deal. - Kim Hollis, 8:43 pm Sally couldn't be any further from the stage. - Eric Hughes, 8:44 pm Maybe it was just because he followed the Jonas brothers but damn, Johnny Depp is the coolest guy in the room. - Calvin Trager, 8:44 pm Heh, Emma Thompson offering ("Do you need help?") - Max Braden, 8:45 pm This speech is longer than a driving lesson! - Shane Jenkins, 8:46 pm Even Jon Heder would look cool following up the Jonas Brothers. - Reagen Sulewski, 8:46 pm I look forward to a motivational speaking tour featuring Hawkins and Forest Whitaker. - David Mumpower, 8:47 pm That speech gave me rheumatoid arthritis - Calvin Trager, 8:49 pm Most insulting movie to women: Confessions of a Shopaholic, He's Just Not That Into You, or Bride Wars? - David Mumpower, 8:50 pm Trailer for Confessions of a Shopaholic.

Now let's all go see Confessions of a Shopaholic! - Max Braden, 11:03 pm I don't really think of Slumdog as a Bollywood movie. It's about two hours too short, for starters. - Shane Jenkins, 11:03 pm Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon helped Ang Lee get a leg up but I don't think it translated into China being the "in" movie industry. - Max Braden, 11:05 pm
