Due to the Writer's Guild of America strike, Hollywood's party, the Golden Globes Awards were transformed from a boozy, fun dinner party to a press conference where presenters from entertainment programs like Extra! and E!

And there's a Ramones documentary, End Of The Century, out now [read a review from Salon].
