Apparently as a Golden Globe nominee, you have two choices. You can go suave, elegant, and divine, as demonstrated by double winner Kate Winslet:

Or, you can go the trainwreck of the decade route, as chosen by out-of-leftfield Best Actor winner, Mickey [O']Rourke:

I can't figure out which is my favorite part of Mr. Rourke's getup--the sequined scarf or the awesome circa-1995-I-want-to-be-in-Sugar Ray-wallet chain. Both winners did have something in common: unusual acceptance speeches. While Ms. Winslet hemmed and hawed her apologies to all other Best Actress nominees, except Anne Hathaway, Mr. Rourke decide to thank his dogs, because (to paraphrase) sometimes a man who's lonely doesn't have anyone but his dogs. Dandy Kate thanked the two most important men in her world, DiCaps, who's she's loved for the last 13 years, and...uh, what was his name...oh, yeah--HER HUSBAND (who gave her the award winning part). No, she didn't pull a Swank, but it was still rather uncomfortable to hear how much she loved the Leo. (I'm hoping she meant it in a sisterly way...albeit not an Angelina Jolie sisterly way, and YES, I did just pull that skeleton out of the closet.)

All in all, it was a good night of viewing from the Hollywood Foreign Press. I still like this awards show the best, even though John Adams won so many golden statues. (Snooze fest! I'll just watch 1776 if I want to hear about John Adams, cause at least that one's got Mr. Feeny.) As far as fashion goes: Winslet was gorgeous (as already noted), Efron had a totally awesome pube mustache coming in, girlfriend Drew had some awesome puffy peroxide hair, and Ricky Gervais used beer as a unique clutch. Hope you had fun watching, too!
