7:00pm (4:00PST): Annnd we're off and running! Nancy O'Dell
is interviewing The Jonas Brothers, who are presenters tonight.
Joe Jonas has just confirmed that De Boyz are working on a
new album, AND that their new 3D movie is coming out in February.
Pause while the teeny-boppers squeal. Nick Jonas has made
it clear to any potential suitors that "Mom is always
around," so all you skeezers better keep your hands to
yourself. Also making their appearance on the Red Carpet:
Eva Longoria Parker, Glenn Close, and Ricky Gervais and Jane
Fallon. Over 300 stars from the movie and television industry
will be walking the red carpet tonight.
7:03pm: Rainn Wilson, another presenter (who has confirmed
that he will be appearing in the next Transformers movie)
endures many more screams than his fellow presenters The Jonas
Brothers. Take that, teeny-boppers! But in sadder news, MTV
has just confirmed that John Travolta -- nominated for his
work in Bolt -- will not be attending the Globes due to his
recent tragic loss. Thoughts and prayers to him.
7:05pm: Miley Cyrus is babbling in her usual nasal voice.
And to think she was nominated for an original song...she's
wearing a Marchesa dress that would better on a woman twice
her age. In happier news, Peter Gabriel was also nominated
for his original song (for Wall-E). Let's hope he wins.
7:08pm: America Ferrara is up, again, for a Globe for her
performance in Ugly Betty. She gave a huge shout-out to New
York City, where the Ugly Betty set has moved to. Her grey
poofy dress, however, leaves much to be desired.
7:10pm: Aaron Eckhart, yet another presenter (for Best Actress
in a TV Movie) looks super-handsome in his single-breasted
suit and bowtie. Yowza! He also gave a shout-out to the late,
great Heath Ledger, who is strongly favored to win in the
Best Supporting Actor category.
7:11pm: Sean Combs is mumbling about something. Bathroom
break.
7:12pm: Amanda Seyfried is making her debut on the red carpet
-- welcome, baby! -- and is gushing about Mamma Mia!, Greece,
and Meryl Streep.
7:13pm: Steve Carrell, looking like Grizzly Adams, promises
"no wacky" tonight. Bummer.
7:15pm: Eva Mendes looking absolutely stunning in a while
dress with contrasting opal-and-diamond necklace and earrings.
She also has a line of home decor, Via, available exclusively
at Macy's.
7:19pm: Aaand we're back! Blake Lively of Gossip Girl has
brought her dad as her date to the Golden Globes. Awww.
7:22pm: Rachel Griffiths, wearing a gold tragedy, is up for
an award for her role in Brothers and Sisters.
7:23pm: Sigorney Weaver and Beyonce are standing together,
and Beyonce is looking mighty pissed that the thunder is being
stolen from her for even half a second. Ever the classy host,
Nancy O'Dell asks Beyonce to discuss the influence of Etta
James on her music (Beyonce mumbles) while asking Sigorney
Weaver about her role in the classy Baby Mama.
7:25pm: Denis Leary is here, with his family, for the first
time. He's up for his role in Recount, and it's really hard
to look at him -- even today -- and not think of his hit song,
"I'm An A**hole." (This was true even for his role
in Ice Age...at least for me)
7:27pm: Maggie Gyllenhaal, wearing a blue leopard nightmare
(I've seen dresses just like it in Boca Raton) is answering,
yet again, another question about Heath Ledger. But she makes
a good point: "It's really hard to be that good in a
movie that big...it's all so very sad."
7:28pm: Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are here. Why?
7:30pm: Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore looking like sisters,
and Brad and Angelina (still trying to play down the bad publicity
due to the "stink-eye staredown" at the Critics'
Choice Awards) have also just walked in.
 7:31pm:
Say hi to yo'motha for me! Mark Wahlberg and Jeremy Piven
are here, and Wahlberg wasted no time in dissing Piven's recent
"mercury poisoning" diagnosis (co-host Tiki Barber
also took a swipe, remarking that "even if they tell
me not to play, I get back in there anyway." MEOW!)
7:32pm: Dustin Hoffman is here! He's got the most Golden
Globe wins ever (tied with Jack Nicholson).
7:37pm: Annnnd we're back! Colin Farrell is here, hot on
his nomination for In Bruges. And Eva Mendes was getting uber-frisky
with him!
7:39pm: Steven Spielberg is up for the Cecil B. DeMille Award.
And Amy Poehler (looking mighty fine after her recent birth)
and Tina Fey (looking mighty fine period) are also up for
awards in the Best Actress category.
7:41pm: Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are falling all
over each other in compliments. Jennifer Lopez, alone, is
looking like a gold lame hot mess. Yikes.
7:45pm: Annnnd we're back! Tom Cruise, alone, is here with
Robert Downey Jr., both of whom are nominated for Tropic Thunder.
(It's Katie Holmes' last night on Broadway, for All My Sons,
so she'll be joining him at the after-party) And...remember
how I said that Steve Carrell looked like Grizzly Adams? He's
got nothing on Sting, who's in full Grizzly mode, and is one
steaming hot mess!
7:48pm: Marisa Tomei is here, looking like a Queens grandma,
for her nomination for The Wrestler.
7:53pm: Aaaand we're back! Pierce Brosnan is here looking
fabulous...his wife Keely? Not so much. It's almost time for
everyone to go in, so we're starting to wrap up!
8:00pm: Here we go, people! Live from the Beverly Hilton,
it's the Golden Globes! And the first presenter of the night...La
Lopez. Oh, God. PUT THAT AWAY. Best Supporting Actress in
a Motion Picture goes to...Kate Winslet for The Reader! Go
ahead, Girl! Get on with your bad self! Kate looks stunning
tonight, and genuinely thrilled.
8:06pm: Composer, singer, and social activist Sting is on
for the Best Original Song in a Motion Picture, which goes
to...Bruce Springsteen for The Wrestler! Hallelujah -- no
Miley tonight. And that sticking your tongue out at the camera
move, Miley? WHY SO CLASSY? This, of course, after complaining
about getting a "used Porsche" as her first car...why
so classy, Miley? You know what my first car was, Miley? My
old man's Cadillac Sedan de Ville! Someone needs to smack
the living $**t out of you...I'll volunteer for the job. (And
a belated Happy Barfday to Clarence Clemons of the E Street
Band!)
 8:14pm:
Aaand we're back! Eva Longoria and Simon Baker announces Rumer
Willis as "Miss Golden Globe." Lord help that unfortunate
looking child. And the Golden Globe for the Best Supporting
Actor in a Television Series goes to...Tom Wilkinson for John
Adams! It's his first win, out of three Golden Globe nominations.
Eva and Simon stay up there to announce the Best Supporting
Actress in a Television Series, which goes to...Laura Dern
for Recount! This is her second win (she won for Afterburn),
and she was also "Miss Golden Globe" in 1982! (And
she got quite the kiss from her hubby, the hunky Ben Harper!)
8:25pm: Aannd we're back! Don Cheadle is up, looking strikingly
handsome, presenting the first nominee for the Best Motion
Picture...Burn After Reading. And off to Eva Mendes, star
of the upcoming film The Spirit, introducing Jorge Camara,
the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
For the teenybopper contingent, here comes Hayden Panatierre
and Zac Efron, presenting the award for Best Actor in a Television
Drama, which goes to...Gabriel Byrne for In Treatment! (He
couldn't be there, so the kids accepted on his behalf). Up
next is the new stars of the new Star Trek movie, who are
presenting the award for Best Actress in Television Drama,
which goes to...Anna Paquin for True Blood! (Vampire theme,
check!)
