#13 "Can someone explain the Prince moment to me? It left me confused." The Prince moment: His song, "The Song of the Heart" won for best original song for a motion picture, Happy Feet. He wasn't there when his win was announced because he was tied up in traffic. When he finally arrived much later, the presenter who was to announce the nominations for another category, mentioned Prince and told him to stand up for applause.

how about the worst speeches? The president of the HFP? Was he smoking crack? what was he talking about? When the camera panned the audience you could see Jack and Meryl looking confused... and what about Warren Beatty? Next time rehearse more. They let him dribble on and on, using up precious time so that all the real award winners later on had embarassingly small amounts of time to give thanks for their awards.

MT: unfortunately, you are wrong about America Ferrera. I have it on extremely good authority that she is an obnoxious diva on the set of her show.

Jagshemash Jen! I am Jonny the Monkey, number one celebrity in all Kazakhstan (Borat still #4 star but could be #3 soon since movie win Globes award)! Whole country very excite that Borat win award... or at least all five Kazaks who own televisions set very excite... But me get very angry when Borat not one who accept award last night! Instead it was dirty Sanchez Baron Cohens who take award at podium! Jonny get so angry, me throw poop at hotel TV fresh from anoos! I first think Sanchez Cohen make Borat stay away from show, but today read on other internet tube that Borat actually out of USA country last night... According to International Herald Tribune, Cohen released a statement to the press after his win. It went: "I have been trying to let Borat know this great news, but for the last four hours, both of Kazakhstan's telephones have been engaged. Eventually, Premier (Nursultan) Nazarbayev answered and said he would pass on the message as soon as Borat returned from Iran, where (he) is guest of honor at the Holocaust Denial Conference." So now Jonny feel bad not know that last night when he and Batyr at after-awards party to celebrate Borat win (me big star so get personal invitation)... Jonny want get revenge on Cohen for stealing Borat Globe award, so me pinch his wifes bum... and then start fight between actors Jacks Nichelson and Willis Smith so Jonny can escape in confusion. :( Oh well. It nice to see you enjoy Borat win as much as Jonny do! *High Five* Chenquieh! * Note: this comment was 'hand signed' to Batyr, Jonny the Monkey's gypsy assistant, who translated Jonny's words and transcribed them in here.

"...I would like to see hanging upside down with a fork up their ass, but Cohen is one of them. I really despise the guy." That's EXACTLY how the rest of the world feels about G W Bush. Why do you think fork sales are up so much?.

I love the fact that Borat was basically a muslim stereotype to show that Muslims were racist and evil and small minded peoplle. Sasha is a genius! I want to dress up as a jew and go to Israel and incite racism against muslims just like him.

After a few minutes of watching that egotistical farce, I turned it off. Instead, I re-watched the first episode of HBO's Rome - Season 2. It was wonderful! As for Sasha baron Cohen, all he is, is the movie version of a shock jock. He does not believe in manners or decency. His world revolves around himself and himself only with everyone else just being a player to his schtick. There are very, very few people that I would like to see hanging upside down with a fork up their ass, but Cohen is one of them. I really despise the guy.

Did anyone else think the director of the show should be fired? Technically, so much time was spent watching nothing happen: award recipients walking to the stage, stopping to hug and kiss others, winners entering the stage through some kind of mysterious back alley (we saw an aerial view of one winner walking down this alley and only one winner seemed to take the direct, stage-left approach). And what's with Warren Beatty? Does he have some kind of neurologic disease. His mouth seemed to move uncontrollably while listening to Tom Hanks' tribute (that was hysterical, I might add. Probably written by what's-his-face, the chubby, hairly, gay writer who does all of Hollywood's speech writing). If I had to see Jack Nicholson one more time...

I think it's absurd that anyone would watch a bunch of ego stroking millionaires carry on about movies as if they have found the cure for aids. It's pathetic that people actually watch and care about this stuff instead of caring about people in their every day lives.

Meryl and America definitely gave the best speeches ever. Meryl Streep is so classy and America Ferrera seems so genuine. How can you not love her?
