Who doesn’t love award shows? My personal favorite are the AVN awards, but the Golden Globes will have to do for tonight.
7:03 – All right, so I’m a few minutes late to the awards because of an early dinner that ran late, and I unfortunately saw my favorite actress pull down the night’s first award. Kate Winslet just won for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Reader – which is supposed to be a great movie and equally fine book. I received the book for Christmas, but have yet to read it because I pulled both of my eyeballs out of my head like this guy.
Luckily, my brail copy is one the way.
Winslet looks really nervous at the beginning of her acceptance speech. It’s rather justified, I would say, considering she’s been nominated for an Oscar five times, and has all of 0 Academy Awards. I must say that these type of acceptance speeches where the winner is so overbearingly happy have to be excruciating for those whom they’re close to. Like, Winslet’s husband Sam Mendes looks like he’s just praying that Winslet doesn’t fall apart and start crying in front of 10 million people, or however many people are watching this thing across the world. Leo DiCaprio – Winslet’s best friend and Revolutionary Road co-star – is the same way.
So congrats to Ms. Winslet, who figures to be the favorite for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, which she’ll probably get screwed over for on February 19th . But she has a lot to look forward to over the next month, which will probably be the best of her life (as it will for the other winners tonight).
All right, she just thanked the hair and make-up department, which I guess is legitimate because she looks old as f— in the promos of the movie.
Winslet thanks her husband and kids to close out her speech, which always makes me happy. Cheers to Kate, and I hope you win Best Actress in a Motion Picture later tonight, although Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep have to be the co-favorites for that particular award.
Interested in how the rest of the award show goes down? Read on.

Just a few months after Mad Men was in serious jeopardy of losing both its’ star and series creator, the New York Post reports that the critically-acclaimed show will return during the summer of 2009.
The Golden Globe live blog was nice, but let’s just go down the winners for the SAG Awards (roughly) when they happen, all right?
