I am not beyond the whirlpool effect that is the Golden Globes. They do suck, don't get me wrong. Jeff Bridges winning for the Jeff Bridges movie I don't want to see. The continued recognition of cultural phenoma over talent. The Golden Globes have long validated the step-below super duper stars of this world who could never win an Oscar, and those who can win Oscars in their sleep, all in the name of trying to predict who will win the Oscar. Also the Emmy. Not to sell the Emmy short or anything, but John Cryer won one. Anyway the prestigious Goldy Glows validated some people last night: Drew Barrymore, who for some reason insists on trying and for some reason finally got encouraged for trying. Sandra Bullock, who is a total godammit of a win until her speech where she said she was not talented- way to call it like you see it hack face! Also Julianna Marguiles, but that was for television and I didn't even bother spell checking her name. Golden Globes also makes minor stars less minor and can lead them to continued fruition in Hollywood, a la Jennifer Garner's continued riding of the Alias wave which won a Golden Globe. So Chloe Sevigny- lets hope it works out, Simon Baker- good luck, another white guy, and Mo'Nique- I hope you puke on stage at the Oscars (that's not meant as a dig at her, she's great, I really want to see her puke is all). But the real reason we watch any award show ever is the details of showing stars watching an award show. T Bone Burnett got a Streep shout out, the Jeff Bridges shout out, and was on stage. Way to de-class a show! There was also obligatory cuts to James Cameron who never looked at the camera. Vincent Kartheiser's floppy hair/ vacation beard combo. The continued shots on Meryl Streep during her dual nominations. A shot of Jack McBrayer for no reason other than showing a happy man associated with NBC. There was a brilliant Steve Carrell mime that got lost because it was within the first minute of the show. But most importantly, there was this:

Jim Carrey was also validated by the Golden Globes because of course he was.
