Still better than Ricky Gervais who was just being mean for...I've yet to discover the reason. 

Yes, it's a low bar.

[AimingforYoko]

Helen Mirren, looking awesome since 1975.

[mtlchick]

So where can I start pitching a project of Viola Davis in a remake of Foxy Brown?  

[Annber03]

Aw, Nicole's comment to Keith :). That was sweet. As were her comments about her mom.

[ShadowHunter]

Aww what Nicole said to Keith was so sweet.

[Thumper]

Loved Nicole's speech -- and agree, nice to see her not wearing some pale dress.  So great to see her happy with Keith.

[bmoore4026]

Loving Viola's Diana Ross hair.

[Misslindsey]

I kind of prefer mean comedians over the likes of an Ellen who is pretty tame.

Viola looks amazing.

[thuganomics85]

Whoa, did not see Sam Rockwell winning.  Glad for him, even though I heard Dafoe was fantastic (and is probably still the frontrunner.)

[AimingforYoko]

Surprising, I thought this was Defoe's to lose.

[bmoore4026]

Awww, I wanted Armie Hammer to win

[sally-can-wait]

Blah, I know I'm in the minority but I DID NOT like Three Billboards.

Aw, I hoped Willem Dafoe would win.  I haven't seen Three Billboards yet, though.

[magpye29]

I'm glad Sam Rockwell won!

I haven't heard - how do they plan to fix it? I know Dan is alive but how do they plan on addressing it?

The same way Will & Grace addressed the Season 8 finale (and most of Season 8 itself) -- the show will simply pretend that Season 9 never happened.

[Luvzmutt]

I was a bit shocked that Nicole did not mention her children with Tom Cruise.  

[ABay]

Damn, Helen Mirren.

[Cupcake04]

Idk why but Viola Davis has always bugged the crap outta me.

[thuganomics85]

Oh, Sam!  I'm sure everyone has seen Galaxy Quest at least!  If they haven't, they better!!

For me, the Globes are becoming a weaker precursor to the Oscars and the SAGs are the true litmus test.  

[Misslindsey]

I liked Dafoe. I did like Sam Rockwell in his role, but I kind of wanted Armie Hammer to win.

[ShadowHunter]

"Its good to be in a movie people see" That was funny Sam.

She is dead to them.   If she ever does try to reach out to them, I hope it's not on tv.

Her kids with Tom have pretty much shut her out of their lives.  Isabella got married and Nicole didn't know even though they were both in London at the time.   

[Eureka]

If the length of the first two speeches are any indication, this is going to be a long long show.

I didn’t see Three Billboards but DH liked it and DS did not. They think I probably would not either, although I love Frances McDormand.

I don't think she did at the Emmy's either. She doesn't see them anymore. The whole thing is sad. Its hard for her to even bring them up maybe?

She didn't at Emmys either and ppl posted about it.  They are adults and not in her life (their choice via the Cult)

[Neeners]

Frances shooing away the camera cracked us up.

[Thumper]

I love Frances McDormand and want to see that movie.

Oprah is getting the DeMille.  I'm betting at least 20 minutes on her alone.

I edited my comment. I meant it IS going to be long.

[thuganomics85]

I'm glad others liked it, but despite some good songs and acting, I really couldn't get into The Greatest Showman.

[bmoore4026]

Looks like Moulin Rouge

[ABay]

I find it odd that in all the noise about The Showman, no one mentions the Broadway musical Barnum, with Jim Dale and Glenn Close.

However, I also found it weird that no one ever mentioned It Takes A Thief when White Collar was on.

[Thumper]

Carol Burnett!!!!!!!!!!!

[Misslindsey]

I hated the Greatest Showman, even though I love Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

[ShadowHunter]

Nice Carol Burnett got a standing ovation.

She and Betty White must live forever.

One of my favorite shows ever! I saw it 3 times in one week.

[Browncoat]

Hooray for Carol Burnett!

[Annber03]

LOL, Carol's "Will & Grace" joke :D. 

[ABay]

Carol Burnett is a national treasure.

[magpye29]

Why is Jen A. talking like she has a mouth full of toilet paper?  Too much Botox in the room, judging by SJP's face.

[Fostersmom]

Man, I really, really don't like Carol Burnett. Her shtick is just annoying. And nice to see Jennifer in yet another strapless dress and unbrushed hair. 

[mtlchick]

And we have our first winner that's parked way in the back.

Surprised (and glad) that they let Nicole speak that long. So used to them playing people off.

Ha.  Not Nicole.  At the Emmys they let Nicole speak forever.  It was Sterling K. Brown who they felt the need to cut off.  Let's see how The Globes handle it if it he wins here.

[AimingforYoko]

Amazon: See guys, we can do quality too! Take that, Netflix and Hulu!

[ABay]

Good for Rachel! I would've also been happy with Alison Brie.

[thuganomics85]

Pulling for Allison Brie, but a nice win for Rachel Brosnahan!  And I'm glad to see Frankie Shaw is getting some success post-Mr. Robot.
