GOLDEN GLOBE WINNERS – TV EDITION
01.18.10The few of us who survived the Golden Globes drinking game and Billy Bush saying retarded things were treated to an awards show that was faster and less full of itself than the Oscars. And also less memorable in every way. Ricky Gervais was a funny but woefully underused host, and, uhhh… I don’t really have a good way to finish that compound sentence. Things are kinda fuzzy for me, what with the drinking game and all. I vaguely remember being aroused by Sofia Vergara’s accent.
Anyway, I’ve got the full list of TV winners below. Basically, “Mad Men” won for best drama, “Glee” won best comedy/musical, and Michael C. Hall won for having cancer. But that’s fine, he deserved a win — if not for “Dexter,” then certainly for “Six Feet Under.” I don’t have any huge quibbles with anything except the winners in the actress categories: Chloe Sevigny in “Big Love” for Supporting Actress, Julianna Margulies in “The Good Wife” for Lead Actress in a Drama, and Toni Collette in “United States of Tara” for Lead Actress in a Comedy. I like both Margulies and Collette, but I think there were far better candidates (see my picks here). As for Sevigny, the only thing she deserves is a push into speeding traffic. I’d rather get Michael C. Hall’s cancer than wake up next to her.

Is Peggy pregnant again?
It’s nice to see that “Mad Men” won, but what the hell is Timothy Dalton doing up there with them?
Lithgow! Lithgow! Lithgow!
I knew it. Watching Harry and the Hendersons as a child, I was like: that man, that man right there is destined for glory.
See, Hendricks and January Jones’ beauty combined with the awesomeness of Jon Hamm is completely offset by Moss.
Just look at her! Disgusting!
No, but I’d certainly be willing to circumnavigate them. . . with my tongue.
Has anybody made the obligatory Christina Hendricks’ rack/Golden Globes joke yet?
Christina Hendricks’ rack is clearly the biggest winner. Sweet Jesus, I am jealous.
But I’m glad Michael C. Hall finally won something. And I’m happy for Lithgow, too.
Lithgow! Fuck yeah!
I’m glad the foreign press can afford HBO and Showtime but I can’t.
I’ve never understood why musicals and comedies are lumped together. The only thing comical about a musical is when the singers get beaten by the jocks.
