Tom Cruise comes out to present the award for the best Motion Picture Drama. The winner is Slumdog Millionaire. Wow - huge night for them. The producer gives a pretty standard speech, nothing too noteworthy, except they did have to play him off the stage.

So, that's it folks. Live-blogging is over and it's past my bedtime. I just hope I don't have nightmares about Mickey Rourke's hair or Sandra Bullock's dress.

King of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan and Freida Pinto from Slumdog Millionaire come out to introduce Slumdog. Khan is charming, but the crowd is a little rowdy, so maybe he should do a quick "shush."

Cameron Diaz and Mark Wahlberg come out to present. Wahlberg says he's depressed that Entourage lost, and you almost expect him to throw in, "Say hello to your mother for me." But no. They give the Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture to Kate Winslet for Revolutionary Road. She cries and hugs her husband Sam Mendes, who directed the movie. On stage she's practically hysterical with shock and excitement, and tells the off-camera prompter that she is not "wrapping up." She runs through a list of people and gushes over Leo and hubby Sam.

Blake Lively and Rainn Wilson give out the award for Best Television Drama and try to be funny, but are not...

Martin Scorsese introduces a film tribute to the Cecil B. DeMille Award honoree Steven Spielberg. Spielberg talks about how he got into filmmaking (actually inspired by Cecil B. DeMille). I love Spielberg but I'm a little bored. Actually just took a cookie break during his speech. I see all his movies, that's enough.

Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman are out. (Adore them both and hate that the buzz for their new movie isn't great). Emma gives an obligatory "shush" (no lie) and then they both fumble over the teleprompter. Or maybe this is their schtick. They proceed with the award for Best Director of a Motion Picture. The winner is Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire.

Sigourney Weaver introduces the clip for Revolutionary Road, the "Feel Bad" movie of the year.

Sandra Bullock comes out in a weird ruffly white dress ...

Renee Zellweger introduces a clip from The Reader, a project from Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack, both of whom have passed away.

Megan Fox and Terrence Howard give the award for Best Actor in a TV Movie or Mini-series. I'm going way out on a limb here and guessing Paul Giamatti from John Adams. Yes, Giamatti gives a breathless speech. Giamatti acknowledges pretty much everyone, including the crew in Hungary, but not our guy Doelger.

Too bad Tom Wilkinson didn't win for Recount, so we could see if he's still batty.

Tom Brokaw introduces a clip of the film Frost/Nixon.

Colin Farrell (who had a bad cold and had to point out that his sniffles weren't from "the other thing it used to be") gives the award for Best Foreign Language Film. The winner is Waltz with Bashir from Israel.

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart give the award for Best Actress in a TV Movie or Mini-series. HBO, anyone? Laura Linney wins for her role as Abigail Adams in HBO's John Adams. I wish someone from John Adams would say Frank Doelger's name, since Tom Wilkinson couldn't remember it.

What the heck is with all the shushing tonight? Gerard Butler, there to introduce a clip of In Bruge, also shushes the crowd before he begins speaking. Is that the third shush tonight?

Ah, Ricky Gervais, who was the best part of the Emmy show last fall, comes out with a glass of beer in his hand and "shushes" the crowd, calling them rude film stars. He notes that he's not nominated for anything, and says that detracts from the credibility of the show. I loved his aside to Kate Winslet about how he told her if she made a Holocaust movie, the awards would come (a bit from his HBO show The Extras). Then Gervais goes on a funny rant about how his "romancing" of the foreign press for a nomination for his movie Ghost Town was in vain. He introduces a clip for the film Happy-Go-Lucky.

Don Cheadle makes a pretty funny intro for Burn After Reading, noting that the Coen Brothers have never hired him, and calling Brad Pitt "ordinary."

Here we go, Raleigh boy Michael C. Hall's category (best actor in a drama). Jon Hamm is probably the favorite. Or Hugh Laurie. But come on, Dexter... What the --! Gabriel Byrne wins for HBO's In Treatment. I can't believe it, and neither can the audience. And he's not even there!!!! Sigh.

More TV awards. This one for best actress in a drama. Anna Paquin wins for HBO's True Blood. I have got to get HBO. (You reading, Barkin?).

We're getting off to a great start with presenter Jennifer Lopez having to quieten the rowdy crowd by saying "Hello, hello. Mama talking, mama talking." Kate Winslet wins for Revolutionary Road The Reader and she's excited, but reading a boring speech.

Now the not-nominated Sting presents best song, and anyone who knows me knows I'm pulling hard for The Boss. Come on, come on....YES!!! Bruce Springsteen wins for his song in The Wrestler (Evan Rachel Wood told us on the Red Carpet earlier that Bruce gave the song to Mickey Rourke for free). Bruce says being in competition with Clint Eastwood felt good. They show Clint and he looks scary.

Another personal fave, Tom Wilkinson, wins for supporting role in HBO's John Adams. Wilkinson (who looks sober) is thanking people but can't remember the last name of co-writer Frank Doegler. Wilkinson also stumbles hard over getting out the word "enjoyable" when describing the whole John Adams experience.

Laura Dern wins for HBO's Recount. Something else I need to rent.

Ed Helms and John Krasinski (The Office) are having to pretend they cared that they just saw Leonardo Dicaprio. Krasinski says he's hoarse from screaming.

This chick on NBC (I flipped over for a sec) just congratulated Sting on his nomination and he had to tell her he's just there to present. Awkward.

Back on E!, Sean Puffy Combs is a plugging machine. He seriously just plugged one project after another for a full minute. Mercury-poisoned Jeremy Piven (Entourage) looks healthy and gives a shout out to Chicago. Someone named Megan Fox, who is stunning, admits she is so insecure that she feels like she looks like Alan Alda. Please see someone about that.

We're getting sooo close to some Ryan Seacrest-free programming. I'm very excited.

Evan Rachel Wood looks gorgeous. She's talking about the intense filming on The Wrestler. She looks stunning but I'm not getting a great look at her dress -- all I can see is it looks shiny. But her "head" looks fabulous. She's psyched because Bruce Springsteen is at her table tonight.

Ryan talks to Debra Messing, nominated for Starter Wife. He asks her if she has advice for women dating over 40 and she says "be brave." She asks Ryan what he would say and his advice for all the desperate losers over 40 is to just "say yes" to anyone who asks. Wow. Really? That's gotta be great for the ole self esteem.
