Golden Globe awards (2014)

The Golden Globes were on last night!  Did anybody watch them?  I did.

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hosted the event for the second time.  I still prefer Ricky Gervais, but the two ladies did a good job keeping the festivities moving along.  It seemed like there were a lot of people who were absolutely shocked at winning.  Some handled it well (Amy Poehler) and some did not (Jacqueline Bisset).  Everybody looked good, no trainwrecks that I saw, although some people's hair was a little haystack-ish (Alex Ebert, the composer for All is Lost).  The only bit that really flopped for me was the presentation by Melissa McCarthy and Jimmy Fallon where she was pretending to be Matt Damon.  That made no sense and wasn't funny.

On to the winners!

Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy or Musical Film:  Jennifer Lawrence for American Hustle

Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series, Mini-Series, or Made for TV Movie:  Jacqueline Bisset for Dancing on the Edge

Best Mini-Series or Made for TV Movie:  Behind the Candelabra

Best Actress in a Mini-Series or Made for TV Movie:  Elizabeth Moss for Top of the Lake

Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama:  Bryan Cranston for Breaking Bad (I didn't realize that he had never won before.  He has been nominated every year he has played Walter White and never won a statuette.)

Best TV Series, Drama:  Breaking Bad

Best Original Score:  All is Lost

Best Original Song:  "Ordinary Love" by U2 from Mandela:  Long Walk to Freedom

Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series, Mini-series, or Made for TV Movie:  Jon Voight for Ray Donovan  (this still hasn't come out on Netflix.  It's very annoying.)

Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Film:  Amy Adams for American Hustle

Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama:  Robin Wright for House of Cards

Best Supporting Actor in a Film:  Jared Leto for Dallas Buyers Club

Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy:  Amy Poehler for Parks and Recreation

Cecil B. DeMille Award:  Woody Allen, but accepted by Diane Keaton (who gave the most rambling, disjointed speech.  I swear, that has to be a pre-requisite for accepting that award.  It would explain Jodie Foster's speech from last year.)
