In the most exciting press conference of the weekend -- perhaps even the whole week -- the Golden Globe award winners were announced Sunday night. Normally, the Globes are the "fun" awards show. The stars sit at round tables instead of neatly-formed rows; they drink plenty of alcohol; and they're basically a lot less rigid than at the Emmys or Oscars.
However, with the Writers' Guild of America on strike and threatening to picket a writer-less ceremony (and the Screen Actors Guild saying none of its members -- aka the actors nominated for most of the awards -- would cross a picket line), the "show" was reduced to a short press conference hosted by Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell and Billy Bush. And since nobody cares how a press conference "came across", we'll just get right into the winners.
