Globes Part 8

Matt Damon is on stage to present the Cecil B. DeMille Award to Robert De Niro.  He kids that he hasn't gotten to see many movies in his life because he spends so much time starring in them, and that he hadn't even heard of De Niro until recently.  He says he was surprised to find out that many people consider De Niro to be the greatest actor in the history of film.  Oh Damon.  He then proceeds to impersonate a few of his more famous roles.  Cue the emotional montage of Di Niro through the years!  Don't you think it's a little funny that a man being honored with such a prestigious award for his years of achievement in film is currently promoting Little Fockers?

Standing ovation, of course.  De Niro jokes that he'll be giving Damon the DeMille award someday (if he's still alive).  He also makes a joke about Little Fockers.  At least he's self aware.  And a joke about Megan Fox and the full-body scans at the airport.  I think you can connect the dots.  Oh, he just cursed!  That's the third censor of the night.  He gets to speak significantly longer than most of the winners, but compared to DeMille winners in past years, he keeps it surprisingly brief.

By my count, we should only have 7 more categories left.  I think they're making good time, but I'm sure they'll go at least a few minutes past 11pm at this rate.  Remember, the acceptance speeches get longer as the show goes on.

Megan Fox (wearing a dress with a very high slit) is introducing The Tourist.  Other than the bottom of the dress, she looks really good tonight.

Annette Bening presents Best Director, and the winner is David Fincher.  I'm on a roll tonight (at least for the categories that I've made predictions about).  He's not reading off of a note card, but rather several sheets of paper.  Oh boy, this could be long.  He thanks the entire cast, even the "invisible twin."  Oh, well it wasn't as long as I thought it would be.

January Jones is showing a lot of cleavage.  I mean, DANG.  She and Jimmy Fallon are presenting the award for Best Comedy.  It goes to Glee.  I was hoping for Modern Family, but come on, we all saw this coming.  Ryan Murphy and the ENTIRE CAST is accepting.  Did you know Ryan Murphy went to IU?  He was in the Singing Hoosiers too.  The cast thanks public school teachers for all the work they do and children they inspire.  I'll have to tell my parents that they got a shout-out from the cast and crew of Glee.  They'll be pleased.
