Watching awards shows is something like eating a quart of candy cane ice cream while reading a stack of fanzines and listening to "The Greatest Hits of Alvin and the Chipmunks." Even so, we were drawn into the Golden Globes, and found these moments memorable, or possibly just difficult to forget.
Best moment: Christian Bale, accepting an award for his portrayal of Dick Cheney, and thanking Satan for inspiration.
Most overwrought moment: Lady Gaga's emotional collapse on hearing "Shallow" cited best song. If she had won best actress, they would have had to carry her to the stage on a stretcher.
Worst beard: Jeff Bridges.
Please explain the reason for this beard: Hugh Grant.
Geriatric triumph: "The Kominsky Method," and applause for the cast making it up the steps unaided.
Most welcome wins: Justin Hurwitz, the "La La Land" composer, for best score, for "First Man;" Richard Madden, for "The Bodyguard."
Best presenter: Steve Carell, announcing that the nominees for the Carol Burnett Award included Christopher Bale and Antonio Banderas, as well as Ms. Burnett.
Best tearing up: Amy Adams, watching Patricia Clarkson accept an award for "Sharp Objects."
Most gracious: Carol Burnett, both serious and funny, and working hard not to tear up.
We now have about six weeks to prepare for the Academy Awards. Stock up on popcorn and Twizzlers.
