As you can see, Neil Patrick Harris is somewhat "creeped the fuck out" by Mickey Rourke.

Anyway, so here are the winners in last night's Golden Globes ceremony:

Best Motion Picture — Drama: “Avatar”
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama: Sandra Bullock, “The Blind Side”
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama: Jeff Bridges, “Crazy Heart”
Best Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical: “The Hangover”
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical: Meryl Streep, “Julie & Julia”
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture — Comedy or Musical: Robert Downey Jr., “Sherlock Holmes”
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture: Mo’Nique, “Precious”
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture: Christoph Waltz, “Inglourious Basterds”

Which decisions are "BULLSHIT!" and which are "RIGHT THE FUCK ON!"? Your opinions, please!

The only decision that made sense was Christoph Waltz, and that was so obvious you couldn't possibly get it wrong.

I forgot to put in my two cents:

RIGHT ON! List:
Christoph Waltz
Jeff Bridges (though I love me some Clooney)

BULLSHIT! List:
Sandra Bullock ('nuff said)
Robert Downey, Jr. (who was ohh-kay, but mumbled too much)
Avatar (Over The Hurt Locker?? Are you effing kidding me?)

UNDECIDED:
Mo'Nique (didn't see her in Precious, but Vera Farmiga in Up in the Air was fantastic)

Mickey Rourke giving Sandra Bullock the GG, was ACQUIRED. She didn't even acknowledge his presents, which is what I try and do to her whenever I can.

Avatar deserves awards for its VFX, sure, but best picture? Don't make me laugh. The writing was terrible! Talk about not deserving of the hype..

Is this nod to Sandra Bullock a pity concession before they send her off to the glue factory? I've never understood why this woman gets hired to be in all of these big movies.. she can't act and she is so goddamn annoying.

How great is it for Jimmy Cameron? Win over your ex-wife in head to head competition with a subpar movie, have the gov. act like he is your best friend, make the biggest movie of all time, and then tell everybody to give themselves a hand...a perfect f.u.

barf.

Avatar, the Blind Side, Sherlock Holmes and Julie & Julia all take top honors? No wonder I don't get along with most of America.

Well deserved win for The Dude and for "The Hangover", which was pretty damned funny.

What about all the TV awards? That's what I care about. And Steve Carell was ROBBED.

Christoph Waltz all the way. Supporting actor??? He was on screen more than anybody else in that movie.
Stick a fork in Sandy B. already.

Look at smirk being elitist. No wonder she's marginalized and no one in a position of power will return her phone calls.

Then this time I agree with elitism!
