Golden Globes winners

The "press conference" show is now a memory, and here was the TV scene.
TV supporting actor in a series, miniseries or TV movie: Jeremy Piven for "Entourage." Enough already for this overrated show!
TV supporting actress in a series, miniseries or TV movie: Samantha Morton for "Longford." OK, good for whatever "Longford" is.
TV actress in a drama series: Glenn Close for "Damages." A well-deserved win for an astounding performance.
TV actor for drama series: Jon Hamm for "Mad Men." Woo hoo! Hamm blew me away with his complicated leading character Don Draper.
TV actor for a miniseries or TV movie: Jim Broadbent for "Longford." Oh, come on.
TV actress for a miniseries or TV movie: Queen Latifah for "Life Support." Happy for Queen Latifah, unaware of the miniseries or TV movie.
TV actor in a comedy series: David Duchovny for "Californication." A cool guy in a hot show.
TV comedy series: "Extras." A very awkward, and very funny comedy.
TV actress in a comedy series: Tina Fey in "30 Rock." A great writer and actress, rewarded for coming up with such a brilliant comedy that wouldn't be the same without her writing and acting.
TV miniseries or TV movie: "Longford," again, whatever that is.
TV drama: "Mad Men." If you haven't seen it yet, you will have to add it to your Netflix list.

The non TV award I was particularly happy about was "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" because it was the oddball in the category. There will be plenty of praise for "Juno" to come, because it is excellent.

It's nice they found a way to tell us about the winners, by the way, but this show was really weird. I can't say I give a care what bubbleheads Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell, who keep talking over each other, think of anything! At least it was quick.
