I like the Golden Globes best of all award shows. The ceremony is informal, there’s less cutting off of people’s speeches, and they don’t try to pretend comedy should be in the same category as drama.

My fast take on the winners last night?

• Most obvious award of the evening: Meryl Streep.
  She was the very best part of two otherwise decent but unspectacular movies this year.
• Worst pick of the evening: Ugly Betty.
  Better than Weeds, Entourage, AND The Office? Um… no.
• Best acceptance speech: America Ferrera.
  While Ugly Betty has all the character depth and overall writing complexity of an Archie cartoon, Ferrara is talented and deserving. And she managed to do the crazy-shocked-emotional-sincere thing all while being very eloquent.
