Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition World The Golden Globes: Live Report AFP - Monday, January 17 Send IM Story Print LOS ANGELES (AFP) - – 2017 PST: The Social Network is the big winner of the night, clinching the top award for best picture and scooping the most honours of the night - four (best picture, best screenplay, best director, best score). The thank-yous from the stage again acknowledged Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, whose life served as "a metaphor for communication and the way we relate to each other." The riveting social networking drama trounced the night's most nominated film, British historical drama The King's Speech, which started the night with a leading seven nominations but scored only one with Colin Firth's much deserved best actor honour. The Kids Are All Right won two Globes. Inception, meanwhile, which was nominated for four, left the night empty-handed, as did 127 Hours and The Tourist, which were both nominated for three. The Fighter won two acting awards and Black Swan one. Indeed, there weren't that many surprises in the film categories acting wise - Natalie Portman and Colin Firth seem assured Oscars now, while Melissa Leo and Christian Bale should probably also start practising Academy-worthy acceptance speeches. It was a good night too for Annette Bening and Paul Giamatti, Steve Buscemi and the cast of Glee - Fox's musical comedy-drama picked up three Globes. RIcky Gervais should also get some credit for managing to shock an audience prepped for offence with gags about Scientology and simulated oral sex. But did he succeed in his mission never to be invited back? Perhaps we will have to ask HFPA president Philip Berk... 1957 PST: And it's The Social Network!!! 1956 PST: Michael Douglas comes on stage to present the best film Globe and gets a standing ovation from the audience. "There's got to be an easier way to get a standing ovation," jokes the actor, who was recently declared cancer-free. 1955 PST: Firth's win is the first Globe for The King's Speech, which went into the ceremony with a leading seven nominations. Will it get the final award of the evening or will it be The Social Network?? 1952 PST: Yes, as expected Colin Firth wins his first Globe for his portrayal of stammering monarch George VI in the critically adored historical drama. The 50-year-old Brit thanks his "exquisitely no-nonsense queen Helena (Bonham Carter), older brother Guy (Pearce), Geoffrey Rush and (director) Tom Hooper, "my two other sides of a surprisingly robust triangle of man-love." 1948 PST: Sandra Bullock, last year's big winner, is on to announce the best actor Globe - will it be Colin Firth?? 1941 PST: The Kids Are All Right wins best comedy or musical! The lesbian family drama, a Sundance hit and critics' favourite, beats the neither-comedy-nor-musical box office bomb The Tourist as well as Burlesque, Alice in Wonderland and Red. 1940 PST: Natalie Portman wins best actress in a drama for her devastating portrayal of a tortured ballerina in Black Swan. It's her second Globe - she won a supporting actress honour in 2005 for Closer. She thanks her co-stars and the fiance with whom she's expecting a baby, who in the film dismisses her character as someone he wouldn't want to sleep with. "It's not true. He's the best actor in the movie - he totally wants to sleep with me," she says, before thanking Mila 'sweet lips' Kunis and Darren Aronofsky. 1935 PST: Jeff Bridges, last year's best actor winner, is on stage to announce the best actress in a drama - Natalie Portman gets the biggest cheer and it's... 1928 PST: Alicia Keys introduces best picture contender Black Swan before Halle Berry announces best actor in a comedy or musical (actually, I take back the underwear comment. Her outfit looks amazing). Wow - Johnny Depp defeats himself and the award goes to Paul Giamatti! Giamatti seems in shock - and slightly breathless from eating too many complementary Godiva chocolates and the effects of Halle Berry's outfit. The actor wins for Barney's Version, the indie drama. It's his second - he won in 2009 for John Adams. Giamatti beats Johnny Depp, who was nominated in the category twice, Jake Gyllenhaal and Kevin Spacey. 1923 PST: Glee wins best television musical or comedy series for the second year running. 1917 PST: David Fincher wins best director for The Social Network. Many thought The King's Speech might get this one, suggesting it was more the type of film that the HFPA likes to reward. But the facebook drama continues its triumphant march through the awards season. The award is Fincher's first Globe. 1916 PST: A quick aside: while industry watchers may question or even mock the credibility of the Golden Globes, they still aren't ignoring them. Influential Hollywood blogger Nikki Finke is "live-snarking 2011's awful Golden Globes. Come for the cynicism. Stay for the subversion," she writes. "Warning: not for the easily offended or ridiculously naive." She described Gervais's opening to the ceremony as "even more blasphemous towards the antics of Hollywood and especially the tarnished reputation of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association than he was last year." Adding, "I love it." It will be interesting to see how the Globes broadcast fares ratings-wise given all the recent publicity. 1912 PST: "I know it won't be long before Matt Damon is up here accepting his own Cecil B DeMille award," De Nero says. He then thanks the HFPA for the honour, which was announced two months ago "well before you had a chance to review Little Fockers," he adds to laughter - the film was eviscerated by critics. "It's okay, we all have our jobs to do." "These movies are like my children - except you can't remake them in 3D to push up their grosses." 1900 PST: Wow. True Grit, the Coen brothers' much lauded film totally overlooked by the Golden Globes, gets a mention. Matt Damon is announced as a star of the film as he enters to award the Cecil B DeMille award to Robert De Nero. The much decorated screen legend known for the Godfather, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Mean Streets, The Deer Hunter, Casino, Goodfellas and, most recently, comic misfire Little Fockers, which unsurprisingly is omitted from the montage of De Nero's career. 1851 PST: Melissa Leo wins best supporting actress in a drama! Leo looks shocked, even though everyone's been saying this one was a certainty. It's her first nomination for a Golden Globe. Leo, 50, has already picked up a Critics Choice Award for the role as a manipulative mother of Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale's boxers in The Fighter. Now an Oscar nod seems a given. She thanks her co-stars including "sweet Amy (Adams, who was also nominated in the category) who should be standing up here." 1850 PST: Jim Parsons wins best actor in a TV comedy or musical for The Big Bang Theory! 1849 PST: Jane Fonda is on stage, looking youthful and tight-skinned. She's there to support her friend Cher, who's in Vegas, and introduces best comedy or musical contender, the critically-panned Burlesque. 1843 PST: Laura Linney wins best actress in a TV comedy or musical series for The Big C, beating Tina Fey, Edie Falco, Toni Collette, who won last year, and Lea Michele of Glee. 1842 PST: "God there are some gorgeous women here tonight," says Helen Mirren, introducing best drama contender The King's Speech, which is leading the pack tonight with seven nominations. 1839 PST: Gervais introduces Robert Pattinson and Olivia Wilde who will announce "a category that no one in American cares about", Best Foreign Language Film. And the award goes to In A Better World, the Danish entry. A surprise - I was convinced Biutiful would get it. 1833 PST: Glee's Jane Lynch wins best supporting actress in a series, mini series or TV film. 1828 PST: Gervais introduces the "wonderful Tina Fey and the ungrateful Steve Carell" (who starred in the US version of Gervais's show The Office, which he's now leaving). They announce the best screenplay - and it's Aaron Sorkin for The Social Network. No surprises here. Sorkin was widely tipped to get win this one. It's the first win for the West Wing writer who thanks David Fincher, the film's director for making "scenes of typing and sometimes just scene of talking about typing look like bank robbery." He also praises Mark Zuckerberg, acknowledging that his script wasn't perhaps entirely faithful in its portrayal of the Facebook founder, describing him as "a great entrepreneur, visionary and incredible altruist." This is number two for the Facebook movie. 1817 PST: Claire Danes wins best actress in a miniseries or TV film. It's Danes' second win - she previously won for My So Called Life. A quick kiss from husband Hugh Dancy and she's heading to the stage to collect her prize for her role in HBO's Temple Grandin. "This is so cooool," she trills, her voice wobbling."It's just so cool to be here tonight with Temple" (who is in the audience). "She's still at it, working with incredible zeal. This is a great thrill, thank you Hollywood Foreign Press!" Dane beats Brits Hayley Atweell, Dame Judi Dench, Romola Garai and Jennifer Love Hewitt. 1814 PST: Al Pacino wins best actor in a TV miniseries or film for You Don't Know Jack! It's Pacino's 4th win and 15th nomination. He beats Dennis Quaid, Idris Elba, Ian McShane and Edgar Ramirez for his turn as Jack Kevorkian in the HBO biopic. 1813 PST: Sylvester Stallone introduces best drama nominee The Fighter. Gervais doesn't even try to make a joke as he announce the Rocky Star. 1810 PST: Robert Downey Jr's introduction of the best comedy actress category is the best of the night so far. After praising the "mildly sinister undertone" of the ceremony, he says, deadpan: "I don't know if an actress can do her best work until I have slept with her." Then goes on to address all the nominees - Julianne, Angie, Annette, Anne and "I'm not trying to creep anyone out but where's Emma?" 1804 PST: Annette Bening wins best actress in a comedy or musical! It's Bening's second Globe win - she previously won in 2005 for Being Julia --and her sixth nomination. The actress first thanks her co-star in lesbian family drama The Kids Are All Right, Julianne Moore, who she beat in the category. Bening also beat Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie and Emma Stone. And she thanks 1962 best promising newcomer Golden Globe winner - her husband Warren Beatty. 1803 PST: Gervais has switched to Champagne. He's back to introduce an actor the audience probably knows best from the "Betty Ford Clinic and Los Angeles County Jail" - Robert Downey Jr. 1759 PST: Toy Story 3 wins best animated feature film! 1757 PST: It's the moments the tweens have been waiting for - baby-faced pop star Justin Bieber takes to the stage to announce the animated film category along with True Grit newcomer Hailee Steinfeld. 1751 PST: The Social Network wins for best original score. The six-time nominated Facebook movie gets its first Globe, beating The King's Speech, 127 Hours, Alice in Wonderland and Inception. Composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross accept the award from Alec Baldwin and Jennifer Lopez. 1749 PST: Burlesque wins a Golden Globe for original song. 1748 PST: A nervous Andrew Garfield, The Social Network star and supporting actor nominee, comes out to introduce best picture contender The Social Network and the nerves get to him. It takes him four or five stabs before he manages to say the words "inspiringly written by Aaron Sorkin", who grins from the audience. 1742 PST: Bordwalk Empire wins Best Television Series - Drama. 1736 PST: Steve Buscemi wins best actor in a TV drama series for Boardwalk Empire! It's Buscemi's first Globe win. The Fargo star was previously nominated in 2002 for Ghost World. He wins for the critically lauded HBO series, beating usual suspects Michael C Hall, Jon Hamm, Hugh Laurie and Bryan Cranston. 1735 PST: Michelle Pfeiffer introduces best comedy picture Alice in Wonderland - she never gets any older! Gervais is back, introducing Eva Longoria who's about to introduce HFPA president Philip Berk - It's a "daunting task," the comic says, but adds, "that's nothing. I just had to help him off the toilet and pop his teeth in - it was messy." Berk doesn't seem to take the gag well. Next time Gervais wants him to qualify one of his movies he needs to "go to another guy", the HFPA president says. 1726 PST: Chris Colfer of musical hit Glee wins best supporting actor in a series, mini series or TV film. It's Colfer's first nomination and win and the audience seems to share his joy as many fight back tears while the Glee table openly breaks down. The young actor beats veterans including David Strathairn and Chris Noth. 1724 PST: Gervais is back on stage and keeps the mischief flowing, introducing Bruce Willis as "Ashton Kutcher's dad" (Kutcher, who's much, much younger than Willis, is married to Willis' ex-wife Demi Moore). 1718 PST: Carlos wins Best Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television. 1711 PST: Katey Sagal wins Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series for the show Sons of Anarchy. Sagal describes the HFPA as "sweet." She beats last year's winner Julianna Margulies, Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss, Kyra Sedgwick, and Piper Perabo. There's a lot of "I love you alls" and she's off. 1707 PST: Christian Bale wins Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for the film The Fighter. The Fighter star thanks the HFPA, joking he wasn't really sure who they were but now recognises "how wise and preceptive those guys really are." The win is no surprise - Bale came tonight fresh from his win at the Critics Choice Awards. An Oscar nomination for his turn at the drug addict boxer in the fighting biopic now seems certain. 1701 PST: Gervais takes a sip of beer and is off. And, as promised, he cuts to the chase, laying into Charlie Sheen ("it's going to be a night of partying and heavy-drinking - or as Charlie Sheen calls it, breakfast.") the rumour-rocked HFPA ("They also accepted bribes"), Scientology and old favourite Mel Gibson. The looks on some of the faces in the celebrity-packed crowd were priceless when Gervais spilled that gay scientology in the closet joke. "I warned them," he shrugged after the nervous laughter and gasps. 1659 PST: Showtime is nearing. Earlier, presenter Ricky Gervais, in sunglasses on the red carpet, seemed to be backpeddling a little from his promise of comedy napalm. "I think I will just go close enough to the edge but not over it. I'm not going to go crazy," he told Seacrest on his way into the hotel. But maybe he was just toying with us... 1653 PST: There's a moment of hyperventilation on the red carpet - E!'s Guiliana Rancic is breathless after she gets a hello and a wave from Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. "Oh my God, that was so exciting," she gasps, before telling herself, "calm down, you're being a weirdo..." Thank goodness she didn't have to interview them or she'd probably be in need of smelling salts. 1646 PST: Tina Fey got knocked for her big-skirted Zac Posen number last year so this time around the comic actress is playing it safe in elegant L'Wren Scott. The canny move enables her red carpet interviewers to focus on her show - 30 Rock - which she's already won two Globes for. She talks about how she hopes to keep Alec Baldwin on the show after his contract expires - there's only a year left. Halle Berry, however, seems to have gone in the opposite direction. The best dramatic actress nominee looks like she's wearing her underwear with a black net curtain doubling as some kind of skirt. Helen Mirren, meanwhile, who's presenting an award, gives any potential thieves a tip - the stunning diamond Cartier necklace draped around her neck is worth a cool 1.6 million dollars. 1634 PST: Angelina Jolie, arriving with Brad Pitt, isn't being coy about who she's backing in the race between The Social Network and The King's Speech for the night's top honours. Asked what she's looking forward to about the night she says: "Just seeing some friends, David Fincher and a bunch of people we are rooting for." (Fincher, of course, directed Fight Club, in which Pitt starred). Jolie, dressed in green, also admits she's "still shocked that I got acknowledged as being funny" - the actress's nomination in the best comedic actress category for her turn in the romantic thriller The Tourist has been raising eyebrows since its announcement. "What a film that was," is all NBC's red carpet commentator can manage. 1626 PST: A much-anticipated arrival - Michael Douglas, best supporting actor nominee, with wife Catherine Zeta Jones. The Wall Street star has just been given the all-clear after treatment for stage 4 cancer. "You look fantastic, you have an amazing energy," says Seacrest. It's the couple's first night out in months and months, says the screen legend who was first nominated for a Globe in 1970 - and he does look good after recent snaps of him gaunt and frail. "To be able to come to this thing cancer free is pretty special," he says. "This is one of those nights that you really smell the roses and have a deeper appreciation of family and friends." 1621 PST: Okay, the stars are arriving thick and fast. Alec Baldwin is here - he wasn't last year to collect his 3rd globe for 30 Rock - so maybe he'll pick up a fourth tonight? Presenter January Jones is wearing what looks like a dress made from red bandages. Emma Stone (best comedy actress nominee for Easy A) looks great in pink Calvin Klein. And here come Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban... 1614 PST: Natalie Portman, the Black Swan actress and front-runner for best dramatic actress, arrives resplendent in Viktor and Rolf pink strapless gown, her baby bump on display - she's expecting with fiancee and co-star Benjamin Millepied in the summer. E!'s Ryan Seacrest asks if she's not fitting in "an awful lot at once" what with the pregnancy, engagement and two films to promote. The 29-year-old star says she's "really bad" at accepting compliments and congratulations so is "squeezing it all in at once". And here comes Helena Bonham Carter, best supporting actress nominee for The King's Speech. This has got to be the outfit of the evening - an asymmetric Vivienne Westwood bustier gown, little black hat with funereal netting and shoes in different colours - I think one is red and one is green. "As you can see, I really go for it," the actress says when asked about her outfit. It's basically "what my daughter would wear" although it's harder to get away with such a look when you're 44, she adds. 1600 PST: Welcome to AFP's live report of the 68th Golden Globes, the glitzy Hollywood knees-up - and fashion show - that often makes for the industry's most entertaining awards. The sun is out (Los Angeles' January doing an award-worthy impression of July) and a whos who of stars is descending on the Beverly Hilton hotel for the televised ceremony, a less formal, Champagne-fuelled warm-up to the industrys most prestigious honours, the Oscars. The year, The King's Speech and The Social Network are seen as key rivals for many of the night's prizes, including top accolade best film drama. Though there may be upsets - the Globes usually packs quite a few. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the 90-odd member group behind the awards, publicised this year's Globes with posters promising combustible material from British host Ricky Gervais. But they've also received some unwanted attention thanks to a lawsuit accusing the association of accepting lavish gifts in exchange for nominations. Expect more on this from Gervais, who last year tackled the issue of the Globes' credibility head-on: "One thing that can't be bought is a Golden Globe - officially," he said. The fearless funnyman has pledged to outdo last year's risque debut, whose targets included Mel Gibson, Colin Farrell and broadcasters NBC, with a performance guaranteed to ensure he's never invited back. We could be in for an exciting night...
