The Golden Globes: Tina Fey Knows About The Internet!

If you missed the Golden Globes, we'll have more highlights today, but the best (only?) scripted moment had to be Tina Fey's Best Actress speech, in which she told a bunch of internet commenters to suck it:

As everyone who immediately Googled those names quickly learned, "Dianefan," "BabsonLacrosse," and "Cougarletter" are real commenters on the LA Times' award season blog, The Envelope. Personally, I can't accept the idea that Tina Fey has the time to sit around reading mean comments about herself: it seems a thousand times more likely that she actually researched her speech before writing it. Because if anyone would do that, it would be Tina Fey. (Unsurprisingly, Dianefan.com and cougarletter.com have already been snapped up. By a nerd.)

That is so completely awesome. I wish she would have had more time to address everyone on Digg.

I was watching this with friends last night, and I saw Sacha Baron Cohen make a joke that led to disapproving reactions from the audience, but I didn't hear the joke. Help?

He said that Madonna fired one of her personal assistants: "Guy Ritchie."

i definitely hope you'll have something to say about Sally Hawkins winning Best Actress over Frances McDormand.

i'm glad somebody watched the Golden Globes and can tell me what happened, because i tried and wanted to kill myself every time someone made a speech. though what i caught of Ricky Gervais was pretty funny. Holocaust jokes!
