Unless someone here is connected with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, wouldn’t this be the _Un_official Golden Globes thread? ---

Not wanting to blow my own trumpet (now _that_ would be a good trick…), I predicted Geoffrey Rush’s win [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=294964&highlight=geoffrey+rush) a couple of weeks ago. I thought the film itself was pretty shite. ---

> [@](#): > > I’m tickled pink that Ian MacShane won for Deadwood. No false humility in his thank you speech – he knew he deserved it. (Not saying the other guys didn’t deserve it too, but MacShane’s work was exceptional.) Is there a link for the acceptance speeches? ---

Shirley, I looked but I haven’t found any. MacShane didn’t say anything outrageous. He complimented the writers, singled out David Milch. (I was wondering how they’d find a clip that didn’t have some profanity, but they managed.) I read a couple of on-line articles, and none of them mentioned anything unusual about the speeches, except to say that Jason Bateman’s was a boring list of names, and Mariska Hargitay’s was sweet and emotional. (I just realized she was Jayne Mansfield’s daughter.) ---

Star Jones did the impossible – she made Joan Rivers look good. Every conversation was either gushing over what an incredible talent she was talking to, or was completely about herself. “Glamazon”…my god. John Stewart’s rip on her and her miraculous rescue from the tsunami was dead on. ---

I thought Cate Blanchett’s dress was very pretty. I thought the worst was the woman from National Treasure. What was that thing? ---

> [@TJdude825](#): > > So one DOES exist! Or did. I was about 2 years old when [that show](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098772/) came out, and I’ve never heard of it until now. Now I must figure out where I can find the show… Thank you! The cable channel Trio airs reruns of Cop Rock all the time. It’s unbelievable just how BAD a show can be… ---

A few other musical television series: _The Monkees_ (1966-1968, with its music video-style songs worked into the plot), _The Jackie Gleason Show_ (1966-1970, with its Honeymooners musicals), and _Fame_ (1982-1987). There was another musical television series from the Eighties, set on a ranch, but I can’t remember the name.
