Globes Part 4

It's Justin Bieber and the girl from True Grit presenting the award for Best Animated Film.  Get it?  Because they're probably the youngest people in the room.  The little scene they play for Toy Story 3 made me tear up a little.  I think we all know who the winner is.  Just as predicted, it goes to TS3.  The director asks if Bieber was even born when the first Toy Story movie was made.  Yes, he was.  Barely.

Ricky Gervais jokes that Robert Downey Jr's past film titles make them sound like porn movies.  Downey takes it in stride.  He quips that an actress can't do her best work until she's slept with him and asks why the following nominees (Annette, Angelina, Julianne, Anne, and Emma) haven't slept with him?  It sounds creepy when I write it like that, but trust me, he's totally charming.  The award goes to Annette Bening.  I guess that she and Julianne didn't split the vote after all.  She thanks her "partner," Julianne first and calls her a class act.  Aw.  Looks like the crowd adores her.  And her speech was pretty long, but didn't get cut off, so I think they're easing up on the "wrap-it-up" music.

Once again, not not enough material, so I'll wait for the next break.

And here's Stallone to introduce The Fighter, which is up for Best Drama tonight.  Nothing too exciting here.

Oh look, it's Tilda Swinton (love her!) presenting the award for Best Actor in a Made-for-TV Movie/Mini-Series.  And the winner is Al Pacino for You Don't Know Jack.  Unlike other speeches, the tone of his seems quite serious.  No jokes, and every cutaway shows that the audience is paying complete attention to him.  I guess when you're Al Pacino, you don't have to do anything special or play any gimmicks to gain respect and attention.

Best Actress in a TV Movie or Mini-Series is Claire Danes for Temple Grandin.  Apparently the last time she won a Globe was for My So Called Life.  Woah.  She's wearing a beautiful bright pink, backless dress.  Not many people can pull off that color, but she does.  And she's so eager to accept the award, very cute. She's reading off of a note card so she doesn't forget anyone.  I think more winners should do that.  She thanks the real Temple for inspiring the movie and her work to promote Autism-acceptance.  An uplifting speech.  I'd say it's a good time for a break now!
