The show is over -- we've been through a lot together -- but now it's time to reflect, make fun of and appreciate. Successful show for the Hollywood Foreign Press? Or do you wish there was a writer's strike every year? Feel free to debate this year's best and worst from the Golden Globes in the comments section below. Here's our take:

The Best
  • Bruce Springsteen winning for best original song for The Wrestler!
  • Don Cheadle, while introducing the clip for Burn After Reading, telling us he would've "crushed Fargo" if given the chance to star.
  • Ricky Gervais, drinking a beer on stage while presenting Happy-Go-Lucky, says to Kate Winslet: "I told you -- do a Holocaust movie and the awards come." "Problem with those films is there's no gag reel."
  • Sally Hawkins winning for best actress (comedy) with Happy-Go-Lucky. Twitched a bit on stage, but still a doll!
  • Heath Ledger winning best supporting actor for The Joker in The Dark Knight.
  • Waltz with Bashir, an animated film, winning for best foreign language film.
  • Tracy Morgan (as Tracy Jordan) ... wasted ... accepting the award for 30 Rock for Best Series (Comedy).
  • Tina Fey on the Hollywood Foreign Press: "I have all their action figures."
  • Woody Allen makes his comedic comeback, with Vicky Cristina Barcelona winning best picture (comedy).
  • Freida Pinto ... um, hot.
  • Kate Winslet winning in both best actress categories, for The Reader and Revolutionary Road. Then referring to Angelina Jolie as "the other one" with regards to who else was nominated.
  • MICKEY .. for the win!
  • Darren Aronofsky giving Mickey Rourke 'the finger' on live television
  • Slumdog Millionaire kicking ass. Sweeps, winning every award it was nominated for.

11:02.5pm -- Oh, that's all, folks! No wacky outtakes so far as I can tell. Well, take it easy, the lot of ya.

11:02pm -- Who's more eager to jump the gun tonight: the orchestra, or the man with his hand on the FCC silencer-o-matic?

11:00pm -- Tom Cruise presenting Best Drama. Winner is... Slumdog Millinah! Not undeserved, but again, a particularly international film striking a chord with an especially foreign press. With the Oscars, who knows, but its Best Picture nomination at least remains a sure thing.

10:58pm -- And here we are, sixty-four minutes into this final hour of ours and counting. I'll stay if you'll stay, folks.

10:53pm -- I can't do Rourke's gratitude justice. Trust me on this. Christ, he's even going on about his dogs, and who's to stop him? That orchestra, of course.

10:51pm -- Best Actor in a Drama would be... drum roll... The Wrestler's Mickey Rourke! F'n A!
