It’s time once again for everyone’s favorite frivolous awards circle-jerk: The Golden Globes! Ricky Gervais is hosting once again. Because controversy. Or whatever. Morgan Freeman will receive the Cecil B. DeMille award this evening. If you ask me, they’re fifteen to twenty years late with that one. But you didn’t ask me, so give big daddy one second to swallow a couple of numb-numb pills. Okay. Pour yourself a drink, and make it fancy–maybe put it in a real glass instead of a plastic tumbler–because tonight we drink with the stars!
Starting at 6pm EST we’ll be watching E!’s coverage of the red carpet as the beautiful people arrive wearing hideous clothes. At 8pm EST we’ll of course switch over to NBC for the live telecast of the ceremony.
