Glee and social networking at the Golden Globes
There was plenty of Glee in Hollywood where the TV show about a song-filled high school walked away with all the TV comedy awards at the Golden Globes – the first major awards ceremony of the year.
Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas get our vote for best dressed couple! I met her briefly once at a UNICEF Dinner and she is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS (not to mention a fashion icon)! Michael, you are a lucky man!!

Notice how she introduced herself as “Mrs. Douglas” Very Classy-that is why I love her! She is clearly the opposite of a crude feminist! Notice how Michael is beaming!
Accepting the Golden Globe for BEST TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL for “Glee” (FOX) is producer Ryan Murphy, at the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA on Sunday, January 16, 2011.
After a digging his comedic claws into more of Hollywood’s favorites, the evening launched with Christian Bale taking the Best Supporting Actor trophy for playing the drug-addicted brother of boxing champion Micky Ward in The Fighter. Congratulations Christian!!! The film also picked up the prize for best supporting actress: Melissa Leo played the mother of the pair.
The top acting prizes went to Colin Firth for playing King George VI in the drama, The King’s Speech, Natalie Portman for the ballet drama Black Swan, Paul Giamatti for the comedy Barney’s Version and Annette Bening for the lesbian comedy The Kids Are All Right, which also took the prize for best comedy. Best Drama went to The Social Network, which also took the prizes for best director, for David Fincher. Aaron Sorkin’s screenplay for the same film also won him a Golden Globe.
Wait till my movie comes out–“The Asian American Cultural Connection”
The HFPA’s annual awards ceremony also honors the best achievement in television, where, as in the film categories, the main prizes are handed separately to dramas and comedies. Katey Segal’s performance in Sons of Anarchy earned her the best actress award for drama. Steve Buscemi took the best acting award for Boardwalk Empire, which also won best TV drama. Glee took the prize for Best Comedy series, as well as best supporting actor in a comedy, for Chris Colfer, and Jane Lynch was the best supporting actress for the same show.
The best actress in a comedy series was Laura Linney, the star of The Big C. And Jim Parsons, from Big Bang Theory, was awarded the Golden Globe for best actor in a TV comedy.
Bridging the gap between television and films are categories for miniseries and TV movies. Olivier Assayas’ biopic of the terrorist Carlos the Jackal, Carlos, won the main prize in this category, with Al Pacino taking the Golden Globe for best actor in a miniseries or TV movie for playing another real-life character, the euthanasia doctor Jack Kevorkian, in the TV movie You Don’t Know Jack. The best actress in this category went to Claire Danes for her portrayal of another real person, the Autistic Author-scientist Temple Grandin.
Other awards included Toy Story 3 for Best Animated Feature, the Danish film In A Better World took the Best Foreign Language Film, Cher’s song You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me was the Best Song, for Burlesque, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’s score for The Social Network also earned them a Golden Globe.
The Golden Globe Awards ceremony is the biggest and most glamorous event in Hollywood calendar. The awards are considered by the industry as the best indicators for next month’s Oscars.
In their speeches, tonight’s winners expressed their gratitude, to their collaborator, but mainly to Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for recognizing their work and their talent.
The Golden Globe awards are voted for by the 83 HFPA members, who also organize the ceremony and co produce the show with The Dick Clark Productions. More than 19 million viewers tuned in to watch the show last year on NBC, and many expect this number to be even higher this year.
Earlier, more than 200 stars from Hollywood and beyond marched along the red carpet, dressed in their finest gowns and dripping with diamond and other jewelery, as they were showered by cameras flashes and their names were shouted by the screaming fans.
Right after the ceremony, six parties, held by different studios, kick off in different venues inside the Beverly Hilton hotel, honoring their nominees and tonight’s winners.
The ceremony is over but the party has just started. The Golden Globe event is indeed the best party in town.
“The Social Network” won again! Wait until my movie comes out! “The Asian American Cultural Connection” or “U.S. – Asia Relations” What do you think sounds better??
How great did Catherine Zeta Jones look last night in that fabulous green dress along side Michael Douglas who looked just as dapper! Very Scarlett O’Hara. She makes you proud to be a woman! If I were a man married to Catherine, and had those two gorgeous children that would give me enough drive to heal asap from cancer. The man has EVERYTHING to LIVE for!!

In answer to all of the inquiries that I received regarding Catherine Zeta Jones’s aka Mrs. Douglas’s Dress, she is wearing none other than (drum roll) Monique Lhullier! And yes, she was the best dressed woman at the Golden Globes! Congratulations Catherine and Monique Lhullier! Kudos to Hillary Latos for her coverage of Monique!
Trivia Q: Catherine also gets her gorgeous hair done at a famous high-end Japanese hair salon in NYC. Does anyone know which one it is? I do.
