Chec out those Globes!

Welcome to The Bee’s live blog of the 64th annual Golden Globes. As always, please forgive any spelling, grammar and syntax errors - this is live people. Just keep refreshing this page to see the latest posts. Now, put on your jammies, pour yourself a cocktail and let’s do this thing. So, without further ado…

8:00 PM: Wow. That "One Night Only" techo song is 1,000 kinds of horrible.

8:05 PM: Oh, look. George Clooney. That makes up for the song. And the winner for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture - Jennifer Hudson. From American Idol to this. Her march to the Oscars continues.

8:08 PM: Now that was unexpected. Justin Timberlake was actually funny. He ad-libbed a little poke at Prince's height while accepting the award for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture on the Artist Formerly Known As's behalf. Guess that whole "---- in a Box" thing wasn't a fluke.

8:12 PM: Jack Nicholson’s daughter is Miss Golden Globes. Sometimes these jokes write themselves.

8:14 PM: Jeremy Irons needs Mystic Tan gift certificates. Like now.

8:25 PM: Things that are scary. Donald Trump. Vanessa William’s hair. Renee Zellweger’s constant squinting.

8:34 PM: Hugh Laurie wins for House. Yeah! Isn't he charming and British. So unHouse-like.

8:40 PM: Charlie Sheen's suit looks like he found it at the bargain bin at the Big & Tall Store. Hey Charlie, how about a tailor?

8:50 PM: Meryl Streep gives Hugh Laurie a run for his money in best award speech for the night. And gives a plug for all the little-seen quality indie films your cineplex probably isn't playing. That's all.

8:57 PM: Did you notice when Salma Hayek came out, they only showed reaction shots of men? And the men seemed to be, uh, concentrating very hard.

9:02 PM: Eddie Murphy beats Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and Mark Wahlberg for his work in Dreamgirls. And for a funny man, his speech was surprisingly unfunny. But at least he seemed sincere.

9:04 PM: Did you just see Prince? Did you just see Prince put his hand over the camera? Still touchy about that Justin Timberlake jab, huh?

9:08 PM: Why is Sienna Miller channeling Heidi? I feel the sudden urge for some Swiss Miss.

9:10 PM: Let's make it a rule that only British actors (and Meryl Streep) can give acceptance speeches. Bill Nighy did his countrymen proud with his brief, pithy thank yous.

9:12 PM: Did Helen Mirren play every British monarch on screen this year? One queen win down (for Elizabeth I), one to go.

9:17 PM: Cameron Diaz seems to have recycled leftover parts from Bjork's infamous Oscars swan dress for her gown. Plus, why is she so bad at reading the teleprompter?

9:22 PM: No offense, but does Alec Baldwin kind of look like Fat Elvis?

9:32 PM: Ugly Betty wins for Best Comedy. I'm squealing almost as much as the cast is. I LOVE THIS SHOW!

9:38 PM: Clint Eastwood just quoted Jennifer Hudson in his acceptance speech. Wow, what does THAT do for her confidence?

9:50 PM: I think I just cried a little along with America Ferrera. LOVE HER!

10:00 PM: Good God, make Tom Hanks stop saying "balls" when referring to Warren Beatty who is winning the lifetime achievement award.

10:17 PM: Warren delivers an intermittently funny, intermittently rambling and intermittently sincere speech. And a Borat imitation.

10:16 PM: Martin Scorsese beats Clint, twice, to win best director for The Departed. No joke there, just an observation.

10:30 PM: See what I mean about the British and acceptance speeches? Borat wins best actor for comedy/musical and Sacha Baron Cohen pulls a UPS. In other words, he delivers. Verrry Niiice.

10:38 PM: Dreamgirls producer gets played off the stage delivering best comedy/musical acceptance speech. Somehow, appropriate for a musical.

10:44 PM: Grey's Anatomy wins best drama and fans get a 2.5 seconds glimpse of McDreamy bliss.

10:46 PM: All hail the queen. Helen Mirren wins a second time for playing some dame named Elizabeth.

10:54 PM: Forest Whitaker wins best actor in a drama. Gives us a nice, sincere and shocked moment. Boys do cry.

11:04 PM: Ah-nold hobbles out to give the best drama award to Babel. The director then jabs our esteemed governor by saying, "“I swear, I have my papers."

11:05 PM: Well, that's it kids. This concludes our live blogging. Hope you enjoyed the show. Now, where is that champagne? Cheers.
