Globes Part 9

Alicia Keys introduces Black Swan.  If you haven't seen it yet, you really should.  It's completely insane in the best possible way.

Halle Berry announces Best Actor in a Drama and the Globe goes to Paul Giamatti.  Okay, so I got one wrong (so far).  The audio cuts off for about 5-10 seconds.  Technical glitch, or very lengthy string of curse words from Mr. Giamatti?  Hard to tell.  He says that he ate 5 boxes of the free Godiva chocolates.  "And Halle Berry" he says, obviously smitten.  Yeah, he might be a little tipsy tonight.  He calls his costars a "tri-fecta of hotties."  He also "salutes the great nation of Canada."  I have no idea what his film is about so the relevance of his speech is lost on me, but regardless, I am throughly amused.

Alright, only half-an-hour left, let's do this thing!

It's my future husband Joseph Gordon Levitt to introduce Best Drama nominee, Inception.  He praises the film for challenging the audience while still making "a little bit of money."

Now Jeff Bridges joins the stage to present the category of Best Actress in a Drama.  The Globe goes to Natalie Portman, who looks pleased, but not particularly surprised.  I guess I wouldn't be surprised if I was her either.  She hopes her grandmother watching at home is enjoying this and "having a drink."  She jokes that her now-fiancée had a line in the movie about not wanting to sleep with her character.  "He's a good actor, because he was lying!"  She thanks the rest of her cast including "Mila-sweet-lips-Kunis."  I'd like to know the story behind that nickname!

Tim Allen and Tom Hanks introduce the award for Best Comedy or Musical.  They lament the days when Ricky Gervais was "slightly chubby and nice."  Hanks give a quick shout-out to table 114 (and there's a small cheer from that area in the audience)!  The award goes to The Kids are Alright.  Looks like I'm back on track.  The only members of the cast that go up to the stage are the adult characters from the film.  Where are "the kids?"  They are the title characters after all.

Anyway, it's almost over.  Stick around, just two more awards left!
