"The Social Network" won four Golden Globes tonight, ending with the award for best drama — surpassing "The King's Speech," which had the most nominations coming in to the night. Writer Aaron Sorkin also gave one of the best messages of the night, wrapping up his acceptance speech by advising his daughter to disregard all the amazingly dressed women in the room, and instead to notice it's the smart girls having all the fun. Michael Douglas received a lengthy standing ovation just by coming on stage to present the final award, and made a destined-to-be-remembered quip that "there's got to be an easier way get a standing ovation" (easier than throat cancer.) Winner Diane Warren acknowledged Ronni Chasen, but this Golden Globes broadcast will be talked about more for the darts thrown by host Ricky Gervais and the chilly response he got from some stars.
As far as Oscar watching goes, Natalie Portman and Colin Firth won the big acting prizes. Variety, THR, LAT, NYT, Deadline, IndieWire, The Wrap, Go Fug Yourself, list of winners.
