The Golden Globes aired last night and were actually rather entertaining. There were some surprises and some moments to laugh about. I guess by now everyone must have heard about how Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt ignored Ryan Seacrest. As he worked his way down to the red carpet the power couple were passing by. Ryan even stood next to Angelina and said her name twice and called out Brad’s name. Neither one turned to him to acknowledge him. He was standing right next to them. Ryan said they had to get inside to the ceremony. On his radio show he said he felt they snubbed him because they didn’t know who he was. Who wouldn’t know who Ryan is since he hosts some of the most popular programs such as American Idol and E news.

Kate Winslet was the surprise of the evening winning two awards in each category of Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Her role in Revolutionary Road earned her the Best Actress and her role in The Reader earned her a Best Supporting Actress award.

I have to say one award that I was surprised over was the one given to Mickey Rourke for Best Actor in a Drama in The Wrestler. The guy has been gone for quite a while and he has had his problems with drugs and alcohol. No doubt the man is a great actor and always has been, but his addictions has destroyed his ability to get roles. So, to see him back in the lime light is amazing. Hopefully, Mickey will remain clean and cut his hair since that long hair doesn’t work for his appearance.

In television 30Rock won a number of awards including Best Comedy and Best Actress in a Comedy. This gave one of the most unusual acceptance speeches when Tina Fey handed over the acceptance honor to Tracy Morgan who decided to yell out that he was going to do the acceptance speeches for now on since Barack Obama won the presidency. The audience didn’t know how to really react and I wasn’t sure if he was serious or joking since Tina never interrupted. When Tina won her own award she told all of the bloggers that have been bad mouthing her to “suck it” and she named out the blogs by name. Great stuff for an award show.
