Well, that was an eventful Golden Globes.

Lessee...

We had Harrison Ford pronounce one of the night's nominees as "Adaption".

Bono said "fuck" on primetime television. (I'll be very surprised if NBC doesn't get fined.)

Jack Nicholson owned up to taking a Valium tonight.

Philip Glass was nominated for Best Score. (I literally cheered.)

The Hours beat all of its competition (including Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Pianist, which I hear is excellent).

I'm glad Curb Your Enthusiasm won for Best TV Comedy. Larry David's speech was spot on, too. "This is a sad day for the Golden Globes. It is however, quite a good day for Larry David. I suspect the wife will be a little forthcoming tonight."

I knew Nicole Kidman would get Best Actress. No doubt in my mind.

I'm also glad Chris Cooper won for Best Supporting Actor in Adaptation. The performances in that film are just incredible. That he and Meryl Streep both won is a testament to the strength of the picture. (And Nicholas Cage definitely deserved his nomination as well.)

Moral of the story: Go see Adaptation! (Oh, and The Hours, too.)

"Jack Nicholson owned up to taking a Valium tonight."

His speech was great.

"We had Harrison Ford pronounce one of the night's nominees as "Adaption"."

I love it when announcers screw up. Its so funny since the job seems so incredibly easy. That guy from Jurassic Park Jeff Goldberg(?) didn't even remember to say the name of the nominee and had to get reminded!! How funny.

"(including Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Pianist, which I hear is excellent)."

I'd like to see how much they fine for what curses. That must be a funny list. haha.

Adaptation was incredible!! I just saw it last night. I loved it. At first I didn't like the ending but then as it settled with me I liked it more and more now I love it. I laughed so hard at the alligator part. haha! I saw that coming a mile away.

I love award shows. I wish the speechs were all interesting and everyone screwed up the names of the films and actors. It would give me something to find amusing among all the "I'd like to dedicate this award.. and I'd like to thank.. and oh this is such a susprize among such a talented crowd no doubt"

I love that last speech the "I don't really deserve this speech. Michael Caine convinced me he didn't really deserve his last supporting actor oscar. haha.

Did Eminem or 8 Mile get anything? I didn't watch.

I suppose I could just hunt down a URL. :)

Not that I know of. His lead song from 8 Mile was up for best original song, but U2 won in that category. (I personally was surprised; I thought Madonna's and Eminem's songs were stronger.)
