ROUND SHINY OBJECTS. I didn't watch last night's Golden Globes show. Although I don't take any awards or their shows seriously, I do sometimes enjoy the spectacle on tv of watching people act in strange and bizarre ways; it's the one type of "reality" tv I do sometimes watch. But didn't feel like it last night. So, for those like me, one person's selected Best Quotes:

A. "I would like to thank ['Lost in Translation' film executives], except there's so many people trying to take credit for this I wouldn't know where to begin." -- Bill Murray, on his win for best comedy film actor for "Lost in Translation."

B. "I'm from a little place called England -- we used to run the world before you did." -- Ricky Gervais, accepting the best comedy TV series award for "The Office."

C. "I shall not be beaten up this time . . . " -- best comedy actress winner Sarah Jessica Parker after mentioning her spouse (she was clearly scarred from the time the tabloids went wild with innuendo when she failed to make reference to spouse Matthew Broderick in a previous acceptance speech).

D. "I share this with you. But I'll keep it at my house." -- best supporting television actor Jeffrey Wright to his "Angels in America" co-nominees Ben Shenkman and Patrick Wilson.

E. "Two Australians surrounded by English seamen." -- Robin Williams description of nominated drama "Master and Commander."

Nice that Return Of The King won everything it was nominated for, including Best Picture. Even if it does come from the infamous "Hollywood Foreign Press," who are not in Hollywood, mostly not foreign, and not press. (It amazes me how this bunch of irrelevant pipsqueak freeloading boozehounds have worked their way into producing the second most "prestigious" awards in the business, pretty much entirely by historical accident and the ardent desire of the industry to have Yet Another Award to help boost sales and publicity.)

Read The Rest: nah.
