Kate Winslet has won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Reader. She beat out Amy Adams, Penelope Cruz, Viola Davis, and Marisa Tomei.
If you could draw a Venn diagram with cheesy '80s movie lovers in one circle and 30 Rock fans in the other, I'm pretty sure the intersection would be this week's "Senor Macho Solo" episode, which featured the endearingly dweeby Kenneth Parcells (Jack McBrayer) rapping the "Top That" song from Teen Witch. Only this time, I'm pretty sure nobody was exclaiming, "I'm so embarrassed. Look how funky he is!" Here's the clip:
I've already given you some of my highlights from the week, but today, I wanted to check in with some of the web's best TV bloggers to see what they were buzzing about. To see what was making headlines this week, just read more
The big day has arrived! If nothing else, tonight's Golden Globe Awards promises to be way more entertaining and way less depressing than last year's ceremony. I'll be online tonight posting about the winners and asking you your thoughts and I can't wait for all the excitement to begin!
If you haven't already, you can enter to win an Apple TV by filling out my Golden Globes ballot with your predictions for who will take home the awards tonight. The opportunity to enter the contest ends today at 12:00 p.m. PST. For my part, I've finally decided on my predictions, which you can check out after the jump. It's a bizarre year in some ways, and for several of the categories I basically took a big guess. Heck, Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway actually tied for the Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress, and theirs is just one of many Globes categories that's tough to predict.
Well, all will be revealed tonight! Will you be watching? To see the list of nominees click here, and for my predictions, read more
When Saturday Night Live gets a good host, it seems to bring everything on the show up a notch (last Fall's Jon Hamm episode is a good example). So I'm excited that SNL seems to be starting 2009 off on the right foot, snagging Neil Patrick Harris to host the first new episode of the year.
The guy is just comedy gold, and I'm hoping the show takes advantage of his potential. (They have to put him on a unicorn at some point, right?) I'm actually surprised he didn't come up when I was making my list of ideal SNL hosts, because he seems perfectly suited to the job. Taylor Swift will be joining him as this week's musical guest.
You thought I was going to make a "legen—" joke, didn't you? Nah, too easy. To check out a promo, just read more
Take that, NBC?Scrubs did pretty well for itself on Tuesday, jumping from NBC to ABC and posting 6.8 million viewers for its first episode, 6.6 million for its second.
Damage. Damages seems destined to join the ranks of the critically beloved but little watched shows, getting just 1.8 million viewers on Wednesday — down 44 percent from its first season premiere in 2007.
What secret?The Secret Life of the American Teenager continues to break records for ABC Family, drawing the channel's biggest audience ever (4.4 million viewers) for its season premiere on Monday.
Not quite ghastly, but . . . Is Denny's ghost hurting Grey's Anatomy? Thursday's episode drew just 13.7 million viewers, which is unusually low for Grey's. Then again, it was airing during college football's championship game.
On the other hand . . . Moving to the post-Grey's slot gave a boost to Private Practice, which drew 9 million viewers.
Fall's bona fide hit. In a lackluster season for new shows, The Mentalist keeps rolling, pulling in a series high 19.6 million viewers.
Singer and actress Selena Gomez posed for pictures at the 2009 American Music Awards with a pretty pink smile on her face. She took advantage of the occasion and went glam; wearing a Talbot Runhof sequin dress with black strappy heels.
