The fact that the "Golden Globes" aired on NBC didn't dissuade a little friendly network-bashing over the whole "Tonight Show" fiasco. But all things considered, it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Tina Fey was perhaps funniest on the Red Carpet minutes before the official show began, proclaiming that it wasn't actually raining in Hollywood, it was God crying for NBC.

Best moment of the night: Raleigh native Michael C. Hall (left) winning the Best Actor award for his role on Showtime's "Dexter." Votes were cast before Hall announced last week that he has Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

I was lukewarm on Ricky Gervais as host. I love him and think he's hilarious in everything he does. So, I had unreasonably high expectations, and he wasn't as funny as Golden Globes host as I thought he'd be.

Golden Globe Awards (8pm, NBC) - Host Ricky Gervais (left) joked with Conan O'Brien earlier this week that since the awards show is on NBC, maybe it'll get canceled before air time. Unlikely. But if Gervais is half as biting tonight in his NBC commentary as he was on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" Wednesday, NBC will probably not ask him to host again. I'm positive he will be irreverant and hilarious.

Human Target (8pm, Fox) - Mark Valley (right) stars in this new adaptation of a DC Comics adventure. Valley ("Boston Legal") is Christopher Chance, a bodyguard who rents himself out as a literal human target. The show is funny and dramatic, which suits Valley well. Another reason to give it a shot is the presence of Chi McBride ("Pushing Daisies"), who stars as Valley's boss, Winston.

Big Love (9pm, HBO) - Even though Nikki is likely to become the next Prophet at Juniper Creek, Bill considers running for Utah state senate. 

24 (9pm, Fox) - Dammit, Chloe! We're running out of time! That's right, Jack is back. It's hour 1 of Day 8, and the action begins in New York City. In addition to the obvious return of Kiefer Sutherland, Cherry Jones is back as President Taylor. The season will also feature newcomers Freddie Prinze Jr and Katee Sackhoff.

Brothers & Sisters (10pm, ABC) - Cheryl Hines guest stars as Buffy, Kitty's friend who comes in between her and Robert in a political development. You read that right: Buffy and Kitty.

 The Golden Globes Awards show airs Sunday night at 8pm on NBC.

So I finally got the scoop on what Anne Hathaway was wearing. Apparently, it was an Armani Prive gown. And she was wearing vintage (1935) sapphire and diamond earrings from Van Cleef & Arpels Private Collection and a 13.08 carat emerald-cut violet sapphire set ring with diamonds.

A big thanks to everyone who voted in our first Golden Globes TV contest, and also to those who checked out our Globes live-blogging. A super secret accounting firm from Clayton has tabulated all the voting and we have our results.

Gabriel Bryne (In Treatment) was the spoiler for most of you -- only 9% of you picked Byrne to win for Best Actor in a Drama, (most picked Hugh Laurie in House or Jon Hamm in Mad Men). The other upset was Anna Paquin, who won Best Actress in a Drama for her role in True Blood. Only 16% of you picked her.

The most popular picks of the night were for Tina Fey (30 Rock) for Best Comedy Actress (69%), 30 Rock for Best Comedy (68%), and HBO's John Adams for Best TV Movie or Mini-series (66%).

After the Gabriel Byrne and Anna Paquin upsets were factored in, we only had two entries with all correct winners. So a big congratulations goes out to Cristan from Cary and Katie from Raleigh.

What I loved most about the night was the simplicity of what most celebrities were wearing. There was so much understated chic that it made me feel as if Hollywood actually does have a sense of what's going on in the world right now. Most of the celebrities opted for minimal jewelry and dresses with simple, elegant cuts that weren't over-the-top but respectful and still feminine. I still feel like I got my fashion fix, but I felt that there were more real-world looks on the red carpet than ever before.

No one did this better than Anne Hathaway (see below. loved that sapphire ball gown). Second to Anne was Kate Winslet, who was stunningly elegant in her black strapless gown (with what looks to be a velvet belt) by Yves St. Laurent. Plus who didn't love her acceptance speech?

Drew Barrymore was another one of those stars last night who didn't look like herself at the Golden Globes. And what seems to have most people talking was that hair. What was the deal? It had that "I just got out of bed and thought I was Marilyn Monroe" look. Very breathless and sultry.

If you could see beyond the hair, however, Drew really was stunning. And that's mostly because of the dress. I loved it! Pale blue-gray gown by John Galliano for Dior. Love the off-the-shoulder look, and even though I don't usually like chiffon, it was just beautiful for this look. Not your typical look for Drew, but it seemed last night was a night of changing styles for a number of stars.

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 ...
