Cohen is freakin' hilarious, but his joke didn't really make sense =S
I don't get Tracy Morgan's reference to Cate Blanchett. She's Australian. What does she have to do with Post-Racial America?
Could Colin Farrell be any cuter!
I have scoured the latest Vanity Fair, the Internet and my brain and I still can't figure out what Tracy Morgan meant by the Cate Blanchett reference. Anyone got the 411?
Sasha Baron Cohen was the best part of the whole evening. The best moment was when he made the analogy about Benjamin Button and Hollywood looking younger as they age.
the best thing about the ceremony was Spielberg's speech. Intelligent, insightful, interesting.
The best thing about the Golden Globes was Drew Barrymore, who was adorable.
Thank you.
