Golden Globes 2010: Mo'Nique Rehearses for Oscar
Rockin' a gorgeous gold gown, she also gave the most touching speech of the night when she tearfully thanked director Lee Daniels.
I celebrate this award with all the Precious's, with all the Mary's. I celebrate this award with every person that's ever been touched--it's now time to tell. And it's okay.
Other big winners were director James Cameron and his blockbuster "Avatar." "Mad Men" won for Best TV drama and Kevin Bacon took home the award for Best Actor for the HBO TV movie, "Taking Chance."
Comedian Ricky Gervais was this year's Golden Globe host and had some excellent one-liners. For example he celebrated "some of the great work that's been done this year--by cosmetic surgeons."
He also took a pot shot at NBC: "Let's get on with it before NBC replaces me with Jay Leno."
More comedy came in the form of Drew Barrymore's bumbling speech when she accepted the award for Best Actress for her role in HBO's "Grey Gardens."
The marvelous Michael C. Hall won for his lead role in the Showtime drama "Dexter." Hall who was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma wore a black cap to the ceremony, possibly to hide his loss of hair due to cancer treatments.
Let's hope he's well on the road to recovery.
Dexter's adversary this season was the Trinity Killer played with fabulous creepiness by John Lithgow. Lithgow was rewarded with a Supporting Actor award.
Several celebrities referred to the crisis in Haiti due to last week's earthquake. Many wore red and yellow ribbons in remembrance.
Meryl Streep, while accepting her award for her role as Julia Child in "Julie and Julia" talked about finding it difficult to dress up and celebrate.
I come to Golden Globes weekend and I am really honestly conflicted how to have my 'happy movie self' in the face of everything that I'm aware of in the real world.
On a more positive note, Julianna Margulies got a well deserved win for CBS's freshman series, "The Good Wife." Taking another pot shot at NBC and the failed Jay Leno experiment, she thanked CBS execs "Les Moonves and Nina Tassler for believing in the10 o'clock drama." Heh.
