The 67the Annual Golden Globes Awards were live on NBC Sunday night and there were some very clear winners including some of our favorites Glee, Precious and Big Love.
As the rain poured down outside the Beverly Hilton, this year's ceremonies were certainly entertaining due in no small part to host and British comedian Ricky Gervais, who traumatized Hollywood and all the people representing it, pointing out, "I like a drink as much as the next guy ... Unless the next guy is Mel Gibson!"
There was also clearly a wave of concern and compassion by the attendees over the continued crisis in Haiti. Several references were made to the upcoming telethon being engineered by Globes nominee George Clooney.
The incomparable Meryl Streep won best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Julie & Julia and noted that it was hard to maintain "my happy movie face . . . with everything you know about what's going on in the real world," she said, adding that she was fortunate to be in a position where she could donate money to help aid in the relief efforts.
MoNique scored the award for best supporting actress for her stand out role in Precious and her heartfelt speech set the bar for the evening as she dedicated her win to abuse victims everywhere, ending by saying, "For every person who's ever been touched [inappropriately], it's time to tell."
Sandra Bullock gave her own elegant speech after winning for her role in the film The Blind Side. Speaking about family having your back, the graceful Bullock even acknowledged the family that the movie portrayed.

Chloe Sevigny nearly hit the wall when one of the presenters stepped on her dress shortly after she approached the podium. She looked a tad agitated, even though she had just won the best supporting actress in a television movie, miniseries, or series, for her role as a Mormon wife in Big Love. This was Sevigny's first Golden Globe win, though she'd been nominated before as Hilary Swank's lesbian love interest for the 1999 drama Boys Don't Cry.
Despite having attended the Golden Globes since she was seven years old, Drew Barrymore had never won an award until now when she was finally recognized for her outstanding role in Grey Gardens. Her speech was endearing, pointing out that had she not had the right direction, her performance could have resembled Jeff Spicoli's girlfriend.
Mariah Carey donned an awful spray tan and we all wondered if we had to listen to her speak again. Luckily, someone over there at NBC nixed the idea.
