The Golden Globe Awards: They Exist, Too

I've always thought of the Golden Globes kind of as the back alley version of the Academy Awards. So, even though the GGs have really been bringing the big names in recent years, I still see them as the more secret fun lets get drunk together award occasion. I mean, when was the last time someone was full-on drinking wine straight from the bottle a la Ken Davitian of Borat during the Oscars? Answer: never.

Just take the fact that the show started with Justin Timberlake accepting an award for Prince (by poking fun of his height) because the man himself was stuck in heinous LA traffic. Who can predict the Globes? Plus, Tom Hanks repeatedly used the word "balls" (yes, in that way) when presenting the Cecil B. Demille Award to Warren Beatty. So, there's always that. Well, never let it be said that award shows these days are devoid of crude humor, that's for sure.
