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!

9:54pm -- Handing it off to Mr. William Goss for the final lap. Be nice to him. Now switch over here.

Commercial Break: ... wonders if Heath Ledger is watching this ceremony from heaven

9:47pm -- Why does David Duchovny look like he wants to spray the audience with an Uzi? Best Actress TV Series ... Tina Fey, 30 Rock. But Mary Louise Parker takes award for Wow, Does She Look Good for 44!

9:42pm -- I love how each person sounds a bit more intoxicated. P. Diddy with Kate Beckinsale (I'd see that rom-com, you?) presenting Best Score to ... Slumdog Millionaire.

Commercial Break: I wonder which A-lister is close to puking under their table?

9:34pm -- Best TV Series (Comedy) goes to David Duchovny's sex addiction 30 Rock. How wasted is Tracy Morgan right now?

9:31pm -- Kiefer Sutherland laughing at his own nomination for Best Actor in a TV Miniseries. Classic. How about we just give John Adams the win in every category they're up for and trim some time off this sucker. Oh wait, I think they just did win in every category they're up for.

9:30pm -- Clip from The Reader. My wife wonders "Why is Kate Winslet always naked?"

Commercial Break: On the news tonight: Someone had a "sexcapade (sp?)" in a hotel tonight before being murdered! Who uses the word sexcapade?

9:22pm -- And the nominee for most awkward presentation moment so far goes to Amy Poehler and McDreamy goes to Amy Poehler and McDreamy for tripping over each other to say, "And the Golden Globe goes to ...". Alec Baldwin took it for Best Actor in a TV Series for 30 Rock. My wife thinks "Tina Fey is so ugly."

9:19pm -- Seth Rogen's Mickey Rourke cocaine comment was kinda awkward -- meanwhile Mickey's like, "Screw twenty years ago -- I'm still up for it, dude!" Slumdog Millionaire's Simon Beaufoy wins Best Screenplay!

9:00pm -- I now turn you over to Mr. Erik Davis, who might not type as quickly as I do, but his thoughts are a lot more interesting than mine. Plus I can't watch any more of these commercial breaks. I need some Futurama. G'night!

8:58pm -- Demi-goddess Moore is giving out Best Supporting Actor (Not Drama, Though), and it goes to the late Heath Ledger. Predictable, OK, but still classy.

8:56pm
-- Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore swoop in with a collective cackle and give the Best Mini-Series / TV Movie Prize to John Adams. Tom Hanks accepts the award for Mr. Adams, who has been dead since 1826.

8:52pm
-- Donnie Darko hypes Benny Button: "It's a fable for our time." Groan.

8:50pm -- Commercial Break Poetry

There once was a movie called Howard the Duck
And dear sweet lord did that movie suck.

Also: I love Isla Fisher, but her "big starring role" movie looks like canned migraine.


8:47pm -- Sally Hawkins? More like Sally Talkins! (Oh snap.)

8:43pm -- The always-cool Johnny Depp is on to give out Best Actress (Musical, Comedy or Musical Comedy), and he hands it to Sally Hawkins for Happy-Go-Lucky, which would be considered a big shock if this was the Oscars and not the Globes. (Sorry.)

8:40pm -- See, I was originally supposed to do hour two and not hour one. If I'd done that, "the Jonas brothers" would have been in bed by now, and I wouldn't be feeling 121 years old just for not knowing who they are.

Anyways, the category is Best Animated Film. Winner, of course, is the wonderfully awesome Wall-E. I'm just hitting PUBLISH now. It hasn't actually won yet.
