Golden Globes Round-up

Here’s your Golden Globes round-up, everything you need to know from last night, starting with the absolute best coverage from Eonline:

Eonline: Slumdog Millionaire took a big bite out of the celluloid competition—and a big step toward Oscar—with four awards, including Best Picture, Drama and Best Director for Danny Boyle at Sunday’s 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

But the heartwarming little-film-that-could wasn’t the only one who milked the spotlight, thanks to some golden moments for Kate Winslet, Mickey Rourke, Heath Ledger, Tina Fey and John Adams…

Deadlinehollywooddaily: It’s a completely meaningless awards show by a scandal-riddled organization on a network desperate for any kind of ratings. Yet here I am live-blogging the Golden Globes held by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and broadcast on NBC. The reason is because, over the years, Jack Nicholson has mooned the audience, Jim Carrey has talked out of his butt, Christine Lahti was locked in the bathroom…

NY Times: The gowns were strapless and bejeweled, but the mood was business casual: some of the weepier gushes of gratitude at Sunday night’s Golden Globes ceremony were aimed at makeup and wardrobe people. In both her acceptance speeches, Kate Winslet also mistily thanked her agents…

LA Times: The Golden Globes are supposed to be loose, but so loose that it could spur FCC sanctions? The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. can thank newly minted Globe winner Mickey Rourke for one of its most profane acceptance speeches in recent history — highlighted by frequent use of the word “balls” as a compliment. Then, as he teased Darren Aronofsky about being smarter than everyone in the room, except maybe for Steven Spielberg, “The Wrestler” director shot back a friendly flipping of the bird…

Variety: “Slumdog Millionaire” took its rags-to-riches storyline to the next level at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, riding an emotional groundswell to pocket the nods for best picture, director, screenplay and original score.

The Bastard Machine: It’s hard to get excited about the Golden Globes on a purely television related level. I like it most times as an awards show because there’s no pressure on the stars, there’s Champagne on the table and it takes place at the Beverly Hilton, where we’ve held the Death March with Cocktails of late…

Tube Talk: The Hollywood Foreign Press Association embraced their own at the 66th annual Golden Globe Awards, showering big honors on the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” (filmed in Mumbai, India) and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” (shot in Spain). But winners in the TV categories Sunday night were all-American: the miniseries “John Adams,” the drama “Mad Men” and the comedy “30 Rock.”
