Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Award Shows, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, 24, Desperate Housewives, Ratings,
Sunday evening had a little bit of something for everyone: sports, glamour, action and drama. Unfortunately, this meant mixed results for some network staples. And though the Golden Globes brought NBC its best 18-49 performance for a non-sports event since ER‘s finale, CBS won both the viewers and the demos with its playoff action.
8pm
- The 67th Annual Golden Globes (5.4/13 in 18-49) dazzled 16.9 million.
- A later edition of 60 Minutes (4.1/11) reported to 15.8 million.
- The series debut of Human Target (2.9/7) had 10.1 million it its sights.
- A repeat of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition* (6.5 million, 1.8/4) kicked off ABC’s lackluster night.

Ricky Gervais Toasts the Golden Globes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Award Shows, NBC, Gossip,
Ricky Gervais, the host of this weekend’s Golden Globes, doubts he’ll be asked back again. Therefore, he’ll enjoy the experience while he can.
“I’m going to be drunk. Everyone else is. They’re not going to invite me back, so I might as well have fun,” Gervais claimed. “They can’t censor me, it’s live. That’s the beauty of it. When they first offered me the job, I said, ‘I’m not going to rehearse. Can I say what I want?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ They haven’t seen the script, my ideas, so they can’t censor me. I suppose they could stop the show and replace me.”
Despite the lack of planned jokes, the comedian reveals he will be picking on tSteve Carell (again). “Oh yeah, he’s definitely in for it. Obviously, that’s a staple,” Ricky told Access Hollywood. “Anyone who isn’t concentrating will get it, so they better listen, they better not talk. They can talk when everyone else is on, but they better not talk when I’m on, because then they get my attention and then they’re in trouble.”
Anna Paquin Underwhelmed by Award Nominations
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Award Shows, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, HBO, NBC, Gossip,
Anna Paquin was more excited about passing her driving test than being nominated for a Golden Globe award.
The True Blood star - who is up for the Best Actress in a Television Drama honor - admits she’s thrilled to be acknowledged for her work but is happier that she now has the freedom to drive herself about.
“I’m oddly more excited about the driver’s license. I’m totally the two-handed driver, and I’m not very good at parallel parking,” she said.
The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards take place on Sunday, but Anna admits she doesn’t get too excited about attending glittering ceremonies. Paquin - who won the same award year and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar at age 11 - said: “It’s probably not any different than any other day.”

The 2009-10 awards season kicked into high gear this morning with the official announcement of the Golden Globe nominations.

- Freshman drama Glee leads all TV nominations with a total of four - including mentions for Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch. Damages, Dexter, 30 Rock and Big Love all got three noms.
- Although cable television dominated the Best Drama category, the major networks had a tight hold of the Best Comedy category.
- Newbies recognized this year include Courteney Cox (Cougar Town), Thomas Jane (Hung), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) and Modern Family.
- Despite big buzz around Emmy time, Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons did not get any love this time around. Meanwhile, Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) was snubbed as well.
- HBO, once again, leads all channels with 17 nominations. FOX and Showtime both had six each.
The 67th Golden Globe Awards with host Ricky Gervais airs Jan. 17 on NBC.

Sunday Ratings: Golden Globes Not So Bright
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Desperate Housewives, Ratings,
Despite the glitz and glamour of the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards, the telecast wasn’t a big draw. This year’s ceremony actually had its lowest numbers of its 13-year NBC history. This allowed CBS, boosted by an earlier Steelers/Charges game, to take the night in the viewers and demos.
8pm
- Approximately 14.6 million saw Slumdog Millionaire take top prize at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards (4.8/11 in 18-49).
- 60 Minutes (4.0/9) reported to 13.7 million.
- 24‘s adult demo numbers (12.5 million, 4.2/9) were the smallest ever for a series premiere.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (10.3 million, 3.4/8) was off by 700,000.
- CW‘s airing of Carrie (0.5/1) scared up 1.4 million.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, NBC, Gossip,
Not everyone was able to walk away a winner at last night’s Golden Globes, but some stand out whether or not they received a statue. Some of the Hollywood elite looked like winners…while others, I wish I didn’t have to look at through the night at all.
All the results are in and the victories are tallied - but one. When it comes to last night’s Golden Globes, who wins the best dressed award?

2009 Golden Globe Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, NBC, News,
One year after a strike-induced absence, the drinking resumed. Although the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards drew its usual set of followers tonight, this year’s program carried even more significance than usual. The reason? Heath Ledger.
With or without the Dark Knight nomination, the ceremony would have been interesting. Was this going to be the year a film about an Indian game show (Slumdog Millionaire) won top prize? Would either Meryl Streep (Mamma Mia, Doubt) or Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road, The Reader) walk away with two awards? Could Mickey Rourke‘s comeback performance in The Wrestler earn him a surprise win over Sean Penn (Milk)?
To find out the answer to these questions (and many more), you can read our detailed coverage after the jump!
