2010 Golden Globes: Winners, Losers, and Michael C. Hall's Hat.

Last night was the Golden Globes awards. I normally don't watch this show, but 24 wasn't starting for another hour.

Here, in no particular order, are the big TV winners of the night:

Best drama: Mad Men. Love this show, and happy that it won. While it beat out Dexter, I can't hate on Mad Men, since it didn't win any other awards. By the way, Jon Hamm, what was up with the beard?

Best comedy/musical: Glee. YES! I am so happy for the cast. I may/may not stalk all of them on Twitter, so I may/may not know how truly excited they were to be at the show, never mind if they won or lost. What a great group of kids.

Best actress, drama: Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife. Dang it, still can't spell her name right on the first try. I've never seen an episode of The Good Wife, or ER, for that matter. But she seems like a nice lady.

Best actor, drama: Michael C. Hall, Dexter. I totally cried when he went up on stage. Dude has been getting treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. "It's nice to have a justifiable excuse for accessorizing," he said, in reference to the hat he was wearing to cover up his loss of hair.

Best actor, comedy/musical: Alex Baldwin, 30 Rock. Never watched this show. By the way, why are musicals and comedies lumped together? Are there that many musicals on television that it needs its own name in a category? And while we're at it, Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester on Glee), was also nominated for this category, and he was great at the musical stuff AND the comedy. On this alone, he should've won. I'm just saying.

Best actress, comedy/musical: Toni Collette, United States of Tara. Never seen this show either. And yes, I believe Lea Michele should've won, for the aforementioned reason.

Best mini-series made for...zzzzz I'm sorry what were we talking about?

...Skipping over the best actor/actress for mini-series/motion picture made for TV, since none of us have actually seen any of those performances...

Best supporting actor: John Lithgow, Dexter. AWESOME. The man was stupendously frightening this season. Out of habit, I shrank away from the TV as he gave his speech.

Best supporting actress: Chloe Sevigny, Big Love. I'm torn on this one. She's great on Big Love (funny, emotional, relatable), but I just don't know. I mean, she plays one of three wives, all of whom are terrifically portrayed. So it's hard for me to see why she should be nominated (let alone be given the award) over the others. Also, I have soft spots for the scene-stealing Jane Lynch (Glee) and underrated Rose Byrne (Damages).

That's it for this year's Golden Globes!

Glee, Our Lives Will Suck Without You. For The Next Four Months.

Eeeee!

We waited all season for that Will-Emma kiss and we finally got it!

I am so, so happy it went down like that. I was actually depressed at the end of the scene where Emma walks out of her wedding saying, "Yes. You JUST left your wife." I thought, they can't end the fall season this way. Not with a sad ice sculpture of a hockey player and a beautifully wrapped present from Will. Not with Ken standing Emma up and Emma saying she had to quit her job at the school so she wouldn't have to think about her broken heart every day.

No. It just couldn't end like that.

So Glee must know its fans well. Not only that, but Glee must RESPECT its fans. How do we know this? Two reasons.

1. That kiss.

2. Having the other glee clubs steal New Directions' songs. Yes, it would've been great to see our favorite songs sung again at sectionals. You know New Directions would've brought the house down. (I don't know about you, but I was especially eager to see "Wheels" again.) But the writers at Glee were smart. They realized that yes, it would've been just aiiight to have ND perform their hits again...or they could perform NEW songs. Send their fans off with new material to tide them over till next year. Now that's respect.

I was also moved by ND's big thank-you performance for Will in the form of Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You." Even before Lea Michele finished the first lyric, I could hear, in my head, what the chorus would sound like. That's how good that song is. That's how perfect it was for the scene. Ahh. What a satisfying way to end the first half of the season.

Now my question to you is this: What are we all going to do without Glee for the next four months?

Sue Sylvester Quote of the Week: Get ready for the ride of your life, Will Schuester. You're about to board the Sue Sylvester Express. Destination: horror!

All the Single Ladies! And the Gay Men!

Last night's episode of Glee was my favorite so far. This show just gets better and better. No, there weren't many musical numbers (normally my favorite segments), but the one featured was the highlight of the whole dang show. And it was...

...the football dance number. Holy, holy crap. I couldn’t stop smiling through the whole thing. I didn’t even care that it was ENTIRELY UNBELIEVABLE that a delay of game wasn’t called and the football player managed to run across the field to the end zone in one second. Okay, I care a little.

Other things I loved about the episode:
-Kurt’s dad accepting him as gay. A sweet, touching moment. By the way, did anyone else think his dad was Sam the Plow Guy from Men in Trees? Anyone?
-Sue's Corner. Principal Figgins and his random stocking commercial.
-This line: “My body is like a rum chocolate soufflé. If I don’t warm it up right, it doesn’t rise.”

What I didn’t love:
-Terri wanting Quinn’s baby? Creepy and implausible. By the way, hasn’t Will touched his wife at ALL in the last month? How can he not know she has a pad on her belly?
-Lea Michele. Lea, when did you become such a brat? Yes, you sang Taking Chances 1000x better than Celine Dion. Yes, you’re more talented than Tina C. But you went from the underdog we rooted for to the selfish diva we're starting to hate. Glee, you had better find a way for Lea to redeem herself. I’m not kidding!
-Speaking of…Tina C. was totally upstaged in every scene she was in (thanks, Diva Lea!). Yes, she got to sing by herself for about 30 (sorta painful) seconds, but we didn’t get to see her shine. She has the personality of a doormat, and her only known characteristic is she stutters. I really hope she gets a better storyline, though not at the expense of Kurt. I love Kurt.

By the way, Kanye called me in the middle of writing this blog to say Beyonce’s dancing was better than Kurt’s.
