Okay, at 11:05, the Globes are officially over and yet, Arnold had to leave the audience with a bad taste in our collective mouths, with a dated Terminator joke "Remember, next year, we'll be back." Bad governor, bad!

Overall, I thought the awards were good. Not great... little that stood out or that I'll be talking about the next day. Maybe Sasha Baron Cohen's acceptance speech, maybe Helen Mirren's double victory, definitely the Grey's win, but that's because of the ABC factor. Oh, and definitely Ugly Betty and America Ferrara's victory. Again for the ABC factor and also cause it's a damn fine show, and a surprise. And, I was mighty pleased with the Hugh Laurie win. Oh, and I almost forgot about Meryl Streep. And, I did enjoy the Warren Beatty tribute. So, I apparently do have a few things that I can chat about.

But, live blogging was fun. A) cause I was able to make it through the whole show and 2) because now the show is over and I'm done. I don't actually have to recap it because y'all can just read the preceding posts. I might have a post mortem tomorrow (check out that Grey's Anatomy reference), but now... it's on to the Daily Show. And, in case you're wondering, no I don't know why all my time stamps are PST, when I'm clearly in the EST. I'll try and fix it before my next posting.

Joaquin Phoenix (LOVED Walk the Line) introduces Best Actress in Motion Picture - Comedy. Crossing my fingers for Meryl Streep!

And, she wins! Yay!

So, both Meryl and Emily Blunt won this evening. How nice. I wonder if Anne Hathaway feels left out. Let's see what she says. She puts on the glasses and tells the theater to shut up. And she gives props to all the Best Actress nominees in both comedy and drama categories. Thanking the people in wardrobe for their special effects. She managed to bring in charity and a suggestion for the movie going public about how to get films in their theaters. Such a good speech!

Meryl - come back to the theater! We miss you!
And, the first nomination for Best Motion Picture Drama... Naomi Watts introduces Babel... I know she's a good actress, but she's having a problem reading from the teleprompter. But, it's not really her job, so I'll look past it.

Brief break for the history of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. And they get a round of applause... Yay.

Phillip Burke is the answer to who is the head of Hollywood Foreign Press. You know, in case it ever comes up. But, he mentioned Meryl Streep who seemed shocked, so that was cute. Not sure why she seemed shocked, but cute nonetheless.
