...and the winners are:


If you watched the E! footage (and not the slowed-down, poor-excuse-for-infotainment on NBC with Nancy O'Dell and the ick-factor that is Billy Bush), then you saw history in the making. The first-ever cancellation of the Golden Globes ceremony brought us the strangest "let's get this over with" awards presentation ever. The Golden Globe winners were announced, without any fanfare or 'presentation'. In fact, I'm pretty sure that Red Bull gave Mary Hart wings; her improvisation was not only bizarre, but creepily chipper and out of place. Here's the low down:
