Golden Globes Recap
This will be shorter and less detailed than my usual next-day awards show extravaganza.

(Theme songs are getting so short, next year’s theme to the show will just be "meh." HA!) Later: I love the way he keeps introducing people from their obscure early credits (“from the 1987 Afterschool Special…”).
