A highlight montage featuring Jennifer Lopez’s unceremonious start. More videos are below

The more laid back Golden Globes returned this year after a hiatus due to the writer’s strike in 2008. The Globes didn’t include many clip montages apart from a tribute to Steven Spielberg and lacked the elite aura of the Oscars. They were much shorter, though, and included enough star power and amusing moments to encourage you to sit through the whole thing.

Slumdog Millionaire, 30 Rock, and Kate Winslet were the big winners last night. Here’s a link to the list of winners. Highlights included plenty of drunken presenters and winners and some

Drunk presenters and Tracy Morgan’s acceptance speech
Several presenters were visibly drunk at the Golden Globes, which added some uncomfortable levity to an otherwise routine awards ceremony.

Some of the most obviously drunk presenters were Blake Lively, (link leads to video) who swayed on stage a suffered a few moments silence before Seth Rogan Rainn Wilson read the nominees for her, and Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, who both slurred and looked like they had great buzzes they were trying to cover up with their superb acting skills. Most of us have been there.

Tracy Morgan accepted the Globe for “30 Rock” in a funny rambling speech in which he called himself the “face of post-racial America” and added “deal with it, Cate Blanchett.”

Demi Moore’s see-through dress
Demi Moore presented the award for best supporting actor and first gave a shout out to her daughter, Rumer Willis, Miss Golden Globe, telling her how proud she was and reminding her not to slouch. It was hard to pay attention to anything Moore was saying, though, because I was staring at her nips poking through her tight dress. Heath Ledger won the award and earned a standing ovation during a touching speech by director Chris Nolan.

Tina Fey’s Acceptance Speech
Tina Fey may have been drinking some of the champagne but she was still funny as hell in her acceptance speech for best actress (link leads to video) in a TV comedy. She gave a shout out to all her Internet haters, calling out some of them by name and telling them to “suck it”

“[If you feel] too good about yourself, they have this thing called the Internet, and you can find a lot of people there who don’t like you. I’d like to address some of them now. BabsonLaCrosse, you can suck it.” [via LATimes

Ricky Gervais’ excellent award introduction
Ricky Gervais was the best presenter with a funny schtick (link leads to video) that had me laughing several times. He joked that he slept around to get nominated for an award this year but was unsuccessful.

“I can’t believe I’m not nominated. What a waste of a campaign. Today is the last time I have sex with 200 middle-age journalists. It was horrible. Really. A lot of them didn’t even speak English. Europeans with wispy beards. The men were worse.” [via LATimes]

Johnny Depp’s too-cool presentaton
Johnny Depp presented the award for Best Actress: Comedy, which went to an emotional Sally Hawkins for Happy Go Lucky. He just read off the nominees without much fanfare but did it that sparse, disheleved way of his that made my heart beat a little faster without much effort on his part.

Kate Winslet forgetting that Angelina Jolie was nominated when calling out the other actresses
Angelina Jolie smiled instead of looking stoic as she lost out in the best actress category yet again, this time to Kate Winslet. Unlike the Critics Choice Awards, the camera didn’t cut away to her multiple times during the winner’s speech and the one time it did she was smiling graciously. Winslet made a major gaffe at the beginning of her speech, she said “I’m so sorry, Anne, Meryl, Kristin, Oh God who’s the other one… Angelina!” Angelina was laughing good-naturedly when the camera showed her reaction.

Winslet’s speech was very touching and brought tears to the eyes of her husband, director Sam Mendes, and her co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio. She said “Leo I’m so glad I can stand up here and tell you how much I love you, and how much I’ve loved you for 13 years.”

Mickey Rourke’s Acceptance Speech thanking his dogs
Mickey Rourke gave an acceptance speech for best actor that was both conversational and heartfelt. He first thanked his agent saying he put his career on the line for him. He also thanked the director of The Wrestler, Darren Aronofsky, for hiring him even though he couldn’t get insurance for Rourke. At the end of the speech was the best part, though, when he thanked his dogs past and present for helping him get through the lonely times. I have a much better opinion of this guy after listening to this speech.

Slumdog Millionaire producer Christian Colson getting beeped out at the end of the show
Christian Colson capped off a fun ceremony (link leads to video) by using the “F” word when he realized he was out of time and getting beeped out.

Photos of the red carpet are coming up shortly.
