Welcome, all, to our annual blow-by-blow of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's awards show! Zach will be starting things off, but he'll be switching off with Mindy throughout the night. And now that the painfully awkward red carpet segment is finished, let the painfully awkward rest of the evening begin! Dead air and blatant teleprompting for everybody!
8:00 - ...Aaaand the beer is waiting for him. Excellent.
8:02 - No, he's right, the characters in The Tourist are two-dimensional. I believe celebrity sucking-up and/or bribes were involved.
8:04 - Aren't we past Tom Cruise jokes at this point? And jokes about how old the Sex and the City girls and Hugh Hefner are? Answer: no. No we're not.
8:07 - Best Supporting Actor Christian Bale looks like a mountain man. Sorry, other guys, he totally deserved it.

Now that they've given that gay kid an award for that god awful show, can we finally climb down off the pole that is Glee and realize it is barely good let alone award winning worthy television?
It happened to Desperate Housewives, it happened to Ugly Betty, isn't it Glee's turn already? Pretty please?
One funny lesbian with a track suit should not cut it for this long. It's madness.
Just FYI to answer your question above- Geoffrey is currently in a play in Australia called Diary of A Madman- he has to be bald in the play... that's why he's got his hat on- nothing wrong with his head, but it's very, very shiny!
I loved Ricky Gervais sign-off:
Thank you to God...for making me an atheist.
"That gay kid" is a man named Chris Colfer, show some respect, to an award winning actor. Also, the character of Sue Sylvester isn't a lesbian. Bigotry and homophobia shouldn't substitute for criticism. Congrats to Diane Warren for winning for Burlesque!
For your information I myself am a lesbian and was gay long before it was cool to be, so be careful what you assume about people because of a short post online, sensitive much?
And secondly winning an award doesn't mean squat in my book when the kid can't really act and the show is crap too. And I know Sue isn't, but I consider Jane the only good thing about the show, and so then she would be the lesbian in a track suit now wouldn't she? Which was my point, said to be facetious.
It's TWoP after all, not lets all kiss kittens or kiss ass when I may not like something, so before you get defensive over something so trivial try and grow a sense of humor first or at least tell when someone is using sarcasm.
Being a lesbian does not entitle you to reduce an individual to his sexual orientation, nor does it entitle you to make a factually uninformed comment about one of the characters on a show. Colfer was not nominated in the "gay kid" category. If you have a beef with Colfer's acting on the show, feel that he was awarded for merely being a gay character (a common and valid complaint along with playing a holocaust victim and differently-abled person guarantees critical adulation and awards is snark worthy) or whatever, then snark on it.
Please, stick to your defining yourself as a lesbian and permit others to define themselves as gay actors, actors who happen to be gay, or just plain actors.
Your opinion on Sue and Jane Lynch is not controlling. Just because YOU think of Sue as the lesbian in the track suit does not at all indicate that that is how the wider viewing public sees her, nor does it entitle you to alter the cannon of the show. You are taking your self-identification as a lesbian to mean you are privileged to dictate the terms by which everyone should view the character.
TWoPers love snark because snark is witty, biting, intelligent commentary. Lobbing troll-esque/edginess fails doesn't pass that muster because it is lazy and requires none of the intelligence or thoughtfulness of snark. Just as you don't want us to go all "kiss kittens and kiss ass" when YOU don't like something, don't expect us to bend over backwards when you cloak your thinly veiled homophobia (yes, lesbians and gay men can be homophobic toward one another) and rebuff it for being unfunny.
This is from one lesbian to another.
I JUST LOVED HIM. HE WAS HILARIOUS WITH THE TRUTH. HE SHOULD HOST EVERYTHING FROM NOW ON. DON'T QUIT!!!!!!
I personally found myself distastefully LOL alot. YES, he was insulting but he did it in the best way he knew how, comically. Another thing you have to consider is he's a Brit. Being married to one I know for fact they tend to be alot more dry and to the point in there humor. I think the real reason there was a big uproar is because nobody likes to hear the facts(especially in Hollyworld), and it was a hit to alot of their egos. God forbid anybody tease a "star". Geezus, makin all those millions and they still have something to b**ch about. If they wanna get all moody and dramatic about something awful, did no one see Heidi Klum's dress? Now that was insulting. :)
he was freakin hilarious, people just need to get over the fact that they set themselves up to be made fun of
