Welcome to DigitalHit’s coverage of the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards.

8:00 PM

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler take to the stage for a second year. Said Poehler, “This is Hollywood, so if something kind of works, they’ll just keep doing it until everyone hates it.” “There are still great roles in Hollywood for Meryl Streep’s over sixty.”

Talking about The Wolf of Wall Street, Poehler quipped, “If I wanted to see Jonah Hill masturbate at a pool party, I would have gone to one of Jonah Hill’s pool party.” Fey said about Gravity that, “It’s the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.” Talking about Dallas Buyers Club Fey pointed out that Matthew McConaughey, “lost 45 pounds, or what actresses call ‘being in a movie.’”

8:10 PM

Our first presenters, Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks. They’re doing the envelope duties for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture. And the Golden Globe goes to Jennifer Lawrence for American Hustle.

“Years ago I watched a movie called I Heart Huckabees, and I was so in awe and floored by this completely unchartered humor. So I Googled who made it, and I saw that it was the same director from Three Kings, Flirting with Disaster and Save the Monkey. I just thought this is the most brilliant man in every single way. I just think that, by some weird twist of fate, that that’s the same man who made my career is so weird and wonderful.” – Jennifer Lawrence

8:13 PM

The show will be over 3 hours by the time she makes it to the stage. She’s quite stunned.

“God. I think it was 47 years ago that the Hollywood Foreign Press gave me a promising nomination — a promising newcomer. Thank you very much Hollywood Foreign Press. I’m absolutely shaking. I can’t believe this. God knows. You’ve nominated me about five times, I think. Anyway.” – Jacqueline Bisset

Bisset’s speech takes so long to get started and she pauses so much that the producers just give up and cut to commercial.

First, Steven Soderbergh and Jane Weintraub and the great production staff we had, the great support from HBO, from Richard Plepler and Mike Lombardo and Len Amato and Quentin and Nancy and Paul Bloch and everybody behind the scenes that really does the work. We got a lot of craft awards this year, which I’m really happy for because the crew does it all. I get all the credit. I get to stand here and drink the vodka and hold the statue. Thank you all very much.” – Jerry Weintraub

Aaron and Paula now present Best Television Series – Drama. And the Golden Globe goes to Breaking Bad.

It was a very transformative role, and I had to do a lot of things to prepare. One of the things that I did was wax my entire body, including my eyebrows. I’m just fortunate that it wasn’t a period piece, so I didn’t have to do full Brazilian — ladies, you know what I’m talking about. So do some of you men, I think.” – Jared Leto

“…I get this incredible gift — a LaGravenese screenplay, great, great producers, a wonderful cast — Rob, Scott, all here. We’ve all acknowledged all the wonderful crafts and costumes, production, design, all of the areas. But there’s two people in particular that I really want to acknowledge — Matt Damon — the bravest, talented actor I’ve ever worked with, and the only reason you’re not here is I had more sequins…and Steven Soderbergh, what can I say?

10:02 PM

Tina congratulates Amy before they introduce Emma Stone. She’s announcing the Cecil B. DeMille presentation for Woody Allen. Diane Keaton comes out to accept for Woody, who’s not there.

“Anyway, it’s kind of hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that 179 of the world’s most captivating actresses have appeared in Woody’s films, and there’s a reason for this, you know, the reason is they wanted to, and they wanted to because Woody’s women can’t be compartmentalized, right? I mean, they struggle, they love, they fall apart, they dominate, they’re funny, they’re flawed. They are, in fact, the hallmark of Woody’s work, but even more remarkable is that absolutely nothing links these unforgettable characters from the fact that they came from the mind of Woody Allen, right? And there you have it. There you have it — Woody’s mind.” – Diane Keaton

10:16 PM

Sandra, you are the most amazing collaborator. I want to thank you for not quitting when you thought that I have told you, ‘Sandra, I’m going to give you herpes,’ when I really meant to say, ‘Sandra, I’m going to give you an earpiece.’” – Alfonso Cuaron

I also want to thank Mike Schur, who co-created this show with me, who’s the smartest, funniest man I know and also a very good human being. I’d like to thank my wife and two kids, even the 2 1/2‑year‑old, who is a nightmare.” – Daniel J. Goor

10:26 PM

Jennifer Lawrence is here to hand out Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy. And the Golden Globe goes to Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street.

“First and foremost, I have to thank Mr. Martin Scorsese. Thank you for allowing me to stalk you into making this movie. Look, I grew up in a generation of actors that revered your work. We all did. You influenced everybody in this room. You’re not only an incredible visionary, but you put the very fabric of our culture up on screen, and you’re a risk‑taker, and you’re a visionary. As the history of the cinema unfolds, you’ll be regarded as one of the great artists of our time. Thank you for your mentorship, and thank you for encouraging me to take risks on this movie.” – Leonardo DiCaprio

We also have to say that this film wouldn’t have been possible — and, of course, the award has to be shared with David Russell whose love and passion for these flawed but indomitable characters is etched on every frame of the film. Also, we were blessed to have the most amazing dream team of actors led by Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, and Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner.” – Charles Roven

10:44 PM

“And now like a supermodel’s vagina, let’s give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio,” says Tina Fey. He’s presenting Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama. And the Golden Globe goes to Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine.

“…it’s been an extraordinary year, not only for cinema, but roles, women in particular, the last 10 years really. It’s impossible to do or even approach good work without working with good people. So to Woody Allen, who writes these things and directs these things with such alarming regularity that we sort of almost take him for granted. People like me are in his slipstream picking up these heavy things that make your biceps look great. So thank you, Woody, for calling me and not calling one of the other incredible women who are in the room this evening.” – Cate Blanchett

10:48 PM

Jessica Chastain, last year’s drama actress winner, is presenting Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama. And the Golden Globe goes to Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club.

“It’s a time like this that makes me want to say thank you to my mother for a real reason. When we were growing up, we weren’t movie kids, we weren’t TV kids, we weren’t media kids. If it was daylight, you had to be outside playing. We go, ‘Why, mom? Why can’t I just watch 30 minutes of TV?’ She goes, ‘Don’t watch somebody on TV do it. Go out there and do it for yourself.’ Now this many years later, that’s a pretty good recipe for an actor to go be the subject for whatever you’re doing. So thank you mom for that.” – Matthew McConaughey

10:56 PM

Johnny Depp saunters out (can he do it any other way?) to present Best Motion Picture – Drama. And the Golden Globe goes to 12 Years a Slave.
