Blah blah blah the Golden Globes Michael Fassbender’s penis

The Golden Globes happened last night, and thank God there was a dog in a bow tie there, or else it would've been a total loss. To recap briefly, Ricky Gervais was the main reason to watch, and save for a few moderately funny Kardashian jokes, he was thoroughly unmemorable (you can watch his monologue below. It was... okay). The highlight of the night was probably seeing George Clooney talk about Michael Fassbender's huge penis, because it means George Clooney is as obsessed with the Fasspenis as I am. The other highlight was Seth Rogen taking the stage with Kate Beckinsale and saying, "I'm Seth Rogen, and I'm trying to disguise my enormous erection."

Basically, it was a great night for boners. The lowlight probably went to Madonna, who won best song (???) and took the stage pretending to be Abe Simpson on Vh-1 Storytellers ("The story of how I wrote this song isn't so much interesting as it is long..."). Though Michelle Pfeiffer introducing War Horse as an incredible film "about a miraculous horse" was also quite bad. Though it did encapsulate perfectly why I could never like that movie. I don't trust anyone who could write or say the phrase "miraculous horse" without feeling like an asshole. War Horse and the Iron Lady aren't films that should win awards, they're satire that prove how terrible awards shows are.

Full list of winners plus my live-tweet of the event on the next page.

Here's my live-tweet of the event. I'm posting it here because I don't feel like wasting any more of my time writing something new about this dumb show. [Follow me on Twitter]

[During the monologue] I love the crowd shots of these dipshits trying to decide whether to laugh. HALP! NEED PUBLICIST! #goldenglobes

A pocket watch, a charm bracelet, two rings, and a rosary? That's the fewest accessories Johnny Depp has been seen wearing  in four years.

Here's Rob Lowe and Julianne Moore for the bronzer before-and-after segment of the evening.

[source]

They should re-cast that McDonald's potato farmer commercial with Danny Trejo. "Mira, ju like my papas, puto?" (*racks shotgun*)

Kelsey Grammer won something? Whose salad did he toss for that? /Frasier jokes #classic

Every time I see Adam Levine [presenting] I wish he'd somehow fall face first in manure like Biff.

Jean Dujardin was great in The Artist, but knowing he's French means that mustache wasn't much of a stretch.

[As The Artist wins best score] "I would like to thank Kim Novak, wissout whose rape all of zeess would not be possible."

Ooh, I hope Madonna talks some more shit on hydrangeas.

RT @mindykaling: What a compelling song-writing journey, Madonna!

I hope Baby Goose goes on stage & talks through a puppy he holds in front of the mic like a ventriloquist's dummy. "Thanks, guys, arf arf!"

What the f*ck is Anjelica Houston doing in a show with Katherine McPhee holding hands with a Jonas brother? [Seriously, they played the promo for this show at least 1200 times]

Baby Goose couldn't be here because he was busy taking a homeless man to get a shower and feeding him hot soup.

Michelle Williams looks like she'd cry if you farted on her.

So is it cool to call Peter Dinklage "P-Dinkz" or what?

Peter Dinklage should've run along the tops of everyone's heads like Crocodile Dundee.

[Peter Dinklage references not having seen Mildred Pierce] Yeah, you know who else hasn't seen Mildred Pierce? EVERYONE.

Hahahahaha RT @katerbland: "He doesn't talk like a midget at all!" -the worst guest at my party.

"Hi, I'm Channing Tatum. Here's the animated film nominees interpreted as a c-walk."

[Someone name-drops Andy Serkis] I'm sorry, acting like a chimp is not that hard. Seriously. Throw me that ping pong ball suit, I'll show you a chimp.

The Midnight in Paris soundtrack sounds like someone hitting a Vietnamese child with a peacock.

[Madonna makes an awkward pass at Ricky Gervais] YEAH, RICKY! BANG THE DUST OFF THAT OLD C*NT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!

"Hi, I'm Madonna. Here are the names of some important foreign films I've watched and enjoyed while traveling abroad."

"Oh, excuse me, did I say 'while?' I meant 'whilst.'" -Madonna.

Better Matt LeBlanc ape co-star, the orangutan from Ed, or Marcel the monkey?

You know who loves Morgan Freeman and Sidney Poitier? The closed captioning people. [Sidney.... Poitier... talks... so... slowly...]

Robert Downey Jr. is the personification of how you feel right after a huge line of coke.

Martin Scorsese's mom should've won best supporting actress for Goodfellas. She was so awesome.

Does It's Always Sunny ever get nominated for anything? No awards show knows anything about comedy.

A "miraculous horse?" I hate anyone who doesn't feel like an asshole saying that phrase out loud.

"'EH JESSICA, HOW DO I PRONOUNCE THIS FRENCH QUEAH'S NAME?" -Mark Wahlberg

My favorite part of War Horse was when they signed the Armistice Treaty, and the horse was all "DURRRRR, HAY."

Also, Brendan Gleeson was robbed. The Guard was righteous.

THE IRON LADY MAKES ME WANT TO KICK A BABY IN THE FACE

Everyone knows Margaret Thatcher was a prime minister. What our movie preSUPposes is, maybe she talked about milk with her dead husband?

"REMEMBER WHEN MARGARET THATCHER COURAGEOUSLY BOMBED ALL THOSE ARGENTINES BECAUSE SHE WAS A GIRL?" -The Iron Lady

It'd be fun to see George Lucas and Harvey Weinstein battle it out over the last turkey leg.

YES! GEORGE CLOONEY IS JUST AS OBSESSED WITH MICHAEL FASSBENDER'S HUGE DICK AS I AM!

OBEY THE FASSPENIS

OH MY GOD, HARRISON FORD AND MORGAN FREEMAN ARE EARRING FIGHTING!

You know what would've been better than the Golden Globes? A dog show.
