Golden Globes 2012 Live Blog - First Hour

Starting off a bit late tonight as we were cramming in Zero Dark Thirty.

I've been looking forward to seeing what the two super comics would be bringing to the table tonight and right out of the gate they've been fantastic.  Mrs. Media Room would like me to add how stunning Amy Poehler is looking this evening, eat your heart out Mr. Will Arnett.


8:02 - It only took two minutes for our lovely hosts to make a Ricky joke.  Since hosting he's been relegated to BBC productions it seems.

8:03 - Wow. That James Cameron joke was awesome.

8:05 - Plenty of Homeland jokes, we'll see who's laughing at the end of the night, won't we Breaking Bad?

8:07 - Has Daniel Day Lewis been knighted yet? Seriously Queen what are you waiting for.

8:08 - Love Daniel Day Lewis playing along with the ET joke. That was fantastical.

8:09 - Wow. That couple would have some great looking kids.

8:10 - Best Supporting Actor in a Dramatic Motion Picture is up first tonight. 

8:11 - Christoph Waltz takes it for Django Unchained. Wow. Surprise.  He was fantastic in Bastards, but I thought he was very subdued in this role.

8:13 - This seems like a strange pairing. Both are on tv and?? Supporting Actress in a Minseries, Commercial, TV Series, Made for Television Movie. Sigh. So many options.  Maggie Smith takes it. We've been on the air for a whole 13-14 minutes, so let's take a break.

8:17 - Speaking of a couple that would have very attractive kids.  Mr and Mrs Golden Globe intros. The young Mr Fox really needs to be wearing a vest like his father in Back to the Future.  Now we're on to best Mini-Series or TV Movie.  Game Change takes it.  Another chance for Hollywood to kind of make fun Palin.

8:20 - Woah, slow down. Double up awards. Best Actress in a Miniseries.  If they're going to fake nominees all night, that'll be awesome.  Julianne Moore takes it and Game Change is on a bit of a run here. Good for them.

8:23 - Mrs. Media Room makes the comment, a lot of open breasts this year.

8:24 - Catherine Zeta Jones giving us the first Drama Preview of the night, Les Miserables.

8:24:30 - Let's take another quick break, we've had a few minutes of show and that's far too much.

8:28 - My cat Cogami is sleeping at my feet and is making this very, very uncomfortable.

8:29 - Boooooring time. Hollywood Foriegn President speech time. How self important are you?

8:30 - Mental note, when the heck can we see Sin City 2?

8:30:30 - Another movie preview, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.  Did anyone under 40 see this movie?

8:31 - "Her boobies are covered up!", says Mrs. Media Room.

8:31:30 - The nights toughest category, Actor in a Dramatic TV Series.  Wow. Let's start the Homeland parade perhaps? Damien Lewis wins.

 8:33 - Millions of Americans are all saying, "Woah woah woah. That guy isn't speaking English.  He's speaking Austrilian or something."

8:35 - TV series Drama, damn another tough one right after. Awkward pause for effect. Damn this category is so full of great television.  The Homeland parade keeps on growing.  Another year that Mad Men gets nothing is ok by me. HOLY SPOILER ALERT!!

8:41 - Super long commercial break.While we just got a commercial for The Following, how awesome does that show look?  Argo is up next for it's special preview time. No standing ovation?

8:42 - Now that we've seen George Clooney sitting with Mr. Afleck. I ask, where is Brad Pitt?

8:44 - Statham, you need to go back to England and make British gangster movies imo.  Best Original Score is up and that seems like an odd pair to introduce it to me. Anyone else?  Michael Danna for Life of Pi grabs the Globe.

8:47 - Double award!! We're flying now. Original Song.  I guess that's why J. Lo is there, but it still seems weak to me.  That answers my, Why the Hell is Taylor Swift there?!?!?!? I didn't read anyone eleses name except for Adele.  That's why because she's a winner!!!

8:54 - When the hell is Touch back on the air? Actor in a Miniseries. Kevin Costner on the television alert! Mrs. Media Room is screaming.  The fake nominee actually got Alba to smile.  Ok, I was wrong. NOW Mrs. Media Room is screaming. 

8:58 - An actual President at the Globes, what's up with this?  Ahhh, that makes sense.  Lincoln gets a preview of it's own.

9:01 - Love the intro for fellow SNLers! God, I miss those two on the Saturday night show.   Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical.  This might be the longest award intro EVER! Apparently Tommy Lee Jones doesn't find this funny AT ALL. Jennifer Lawerence wins!!

That's the first hour and let's see what surprises await us for the second hour.
