Seen at the Golden Globes: One Bird

It was a touching, comeback moment when Mickey Rourke won the Golden Globe for Best Actor (in a Drama) for his role in The Wrestler. But when Rourke gave his acceptance speech, he not only thanked director Darren Aronosky, but he also busted his chops—to the point where Aronofsky gave Rourke the finger. Clearly, Aronofsky, a Brooklyn native, was smart enough to know that you can't censor a hand gesture. (And it's not even censored from the clip below!)

Also appreciated: Tina Fey's acknowledgment of her Internet haters by telling them to "suck it!" during her Best Actress in a TV Comedy acceptance. And here are the other winners of the Golden Globes.

FYI you certainly can censor a hand gesture.

blah blah blah Tina Fey. Blah, blah blah, lets get over her already.

I don't know if I would call Mickey Rourke's moment "touching". He was more like "icky" and "rambling" and "slimey".

I have to agree Sasha Baron Cohen and Ricky Gervais were the best parts of an otherwise boring show.

I like these awards, i feel like their a little fairer because they're voting for one another. I'm so happy for Mickey Rourke& Sasha Baron Cohen's little speech was f'ing hysterical!!!

Sasha Baron Cohen was the best- and by the looks of horror on the faces in the audience he certainly hit a nerve. He broke the first commandment of Hollywood- "Thou shalt criticize everyone but ourselves."(cuz we're so special) And back at ya Tina Fey- you like to dish it out, alright, but clearly you resent having to take it.
