Do The Other Best Actor Nominees Hate Alec Baldwin Or What?

thumbnail icon: Do The Other Best Actor Nominees Hate Alec Baldwin Or What?

Loser reaction shots are one of the best parts of any televised awards ceremony, but usually the losers, as a group, hold it together better than Alec Baldwin's fellow Golden Globe nominees. When Alec's Best Actor win was announced, could Kevin Connolly, David Duchovny, and Tony Shaloub have looked less graceful or appropriately fake-enthused? (Also, Amy Poehler calls Kevin's show "The Entourage." Who is she, John McCain?):

At least the camera guys messed up and didn't catch Steve Carell's reaction shot (though I'm sure he smiled and clapped, because he's Steve Carell.) Also, Alec: "I remember when I used to bring Rumer Willis a juice box on the set of the movie." Just "The movie?" Even Alec Baldwin has forgotten The Juror. Hopefully little Rumer knew Alec's zero-tolerance policy for children who spill juice on the carpet.

Was I the only one who heard Susan Sarandon announce Brad Pitt's film for Best Actor in a Drama as "The Curious Case of Benjamin Britten?"

Aw, Steve Carrell looks adorable. He needs to be put in some good movies quick.
But anyway, good for Alec Baldwin. I love The 30 Rock.

Such a gracious group. Attention. Interest. Decision. Action. Attention. Do I have your attention? Interest. Are you interested? I know you are 'cause it's win the award or get your ass straightened out. You win or you get hit with a brick. Decision. Have you made your decision to win, losers? And action. AIDA. Pick up the goddamn phone.

Impressions:

1 - Ricky Gervais is the chocolate sauce of awards shows: he makes everything better.
2 - Is Sally Hawkins crazy anorexic?
3 - Rumer Willis? What? This is the first time I've ever watched the Golden Globes ... is that really what they do? There's an actual position for "star's daughter who stands on stage near awards?" And where the fuck was Bruce? His daughter gets her only break and he lets Ashton play daddy like a bitch?
4 - I wonder if TV people are pissed off that movie people are on TV now? Practically every TV acting award went to a movie person. Get it right, people: Movies are for good actors. TV is for not-as-good actors. If you are a good actor competing against not-as-good actors, you will win every time. Laura Dern, Tom Wilkinson et. al: please stop muscling in on their territory and allow the not-as-good actors to compete against one another as it should be.
5 - I love how annoyed RDJ was when Heath Ledger beat him. I totally agree. Awards belong to the living. If you want to honor Heath's memory, donate to the "do not mix oxycodone and valium" relief fund. It's almost an insult. Now his mom has to build a fucking shelf for it, pretend it means something ... she didn't ask for this burden.

There is a position for "star's daughter who brings out the awards to the stage." It's called "Miss Golden Globe," and Rumer was supposed to do it last year but then they canceled it.

I was annoyed at how they presented the nominees. "As the arrogant network exec..." as though he's playing the only one of those characters to have been on television.
