Globalization.
By now, you've heard the names of the big winners of Golden Globe Awards; the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has the full list, naturally, and a numbers breakdown.
The Los Angeles Times is, of course, very excited, placing a big box showcasing its coverage - which is fairly massive - at The Envelope front and center on its homepage.
The Carpetbagger, spotted in Jeffrey Wells's string of impressions and photos, went celeb-spotting and quips away for the New York Times. Sharon Waxman handles the straight-up story, Cathy Horyn ogles the dresses, Alessandra Stanley rates the show as it played on TV and there are two slide shows: 1, 2.
More reportage from Gregg Kilday in the Hollywood Reporter.
The Guardian's Xan Brooks reminds us that "the relationship between the Globes and the Oscars is not quite as simple as it first appears."
So. With all that out of the way, the other stuff: "Did they get that party started right or what?!? Don't answer that." Josh Horowitz posts the lyrics of show's opening tune.
Cinematical staged a virtual party; if you skipped the show or want to relive all the thrills and spills, only this time with running textual commentary, Karina Longworth has gathered all that live blogging into one link pileup.
One joke was pretty good, thinks Jim Emerson at rogerebert.com; two, though, were especially awful.
George Clooney's comments give Alternet's Evan Derkacz hope for the Oscars.
Updates: Edward Copeland; Troy Patterson at Slate; Alison Willmore at the IFC Blog; Anne Thompson at her Risky Biz Blog; and Gabriel Shanks links to a few more spots where live-blogging was going on.
