Neil Patrick Harris – How I Met Your Mother
Denis Leary – Recount
Jeremy Piven – Entourage

Sally Field – Brothers & Sisters
Mariska Hargitay – Law & Order
January Jones – Mad Men
Kyra Sedgwick – The Closer
Paquin does a descent job in True Blood (people in the comments will probably disagree), but for some reason I was pulling for January Jones. Gervais was hilarious. I wonder if the Jonas Brothers get douche chills walking out with the announcer saying "stars of the Jonas Brothers 3D experience..."Best Animated Feature FilmWall-E
Bolt
Kung Fu Panda
First time in a while that I wasn't 100% sure that Pixar had it in the bag, and WALL-E is such an incredible film, which just goes to show you the level of quality has been raised with this year's animated filmsBest Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or ComedySally Hawkins – Happy-Go-Lucky
Rebecca Hall – Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Frances McDormand – Burn After Reading
Meryl Streep – Mamma Mia!

Recount
A second win for John AdamsBest Performance by an Actor In A Supporting Role in a Motion PictureHeath Ledger – The Dark Knight
Tom Cruise – Tropic Thunder
Robert Downey Jr. – Tropic Thunder
Ralph Fiennes – The Duchess
Philip Seymour Hoffman – Doubt
Not only does Ledger deserve it but the Globes would have lost all credibility if Tom Cruise won a globe for Less Grossman over Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan's acceptance speech was as classy as it gets. You can watch the speech on YouTube.Best Foreign Language FilmWaltz With Bashir (Israel)
The Baader Meinhof Complex (Germany)
Everlasting Moments (Sweden, Denmark)
Gomorrah (Italy)
I've Loved You So Long (France)

America Ferrera – Ugly Betty
Debra Messing – The Starter Wife

Dexter
House

Frank Langella – Frost/Nixon
Sean Penn – Milk
Brad Pitt – The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

Fourth award for Slumdog, and not a bad award to put on the shelf. Congratulations to Danny and crew, you guys deserve this one. I can't believe NBC actually tried to cut off the acceptance speach for Best Picture.
