TV Reivew: 67th Golden Globes

Last nights Golden Globes gave an awards show that was teetering on becoming a joke a well-needed boost.

Although the Supporting Actors were obvious wins, the Best Actor- Musical or Comedy was a surprise to say the least. Robert Downy Jr. got one for Sherlock Holmes. He not only had the best speech of the night (I DON'T want to thank Joel Sivler for saving my career 16 times...). However, the biggest surprise was the Best Picture winners. The fact that Th eHangover won was a jaw-dropper in the Best Musical or Comedy, but the Best Drama going to Avatar was totally unexpected. That film (Which I saw for the 3rd time yesterday in IMAX) deserved it, though.

Ricky Gervais also managed to be hillarious the entire night, turning the night into one hillarious escapade. His joke at Steve Carrel was by far the best one of the night. Like Ricky, the Globes were a little different but still showed they had great stuff still there.

Editorial: Late Night Fight

The Internet hasn't been this buzzing since...well Spider-Man got rebooted. Jay Leno will move to 10:30, Conan is leaving, Jimmy Fallon's bumped and Carson Daly is leaving. It looks like a tornado has struck NBC and made it a disaster area.

The thing is, Conan is so immensely talented he shouldn't have to be fodder for NBC's "We need Jay Leno forever" crud. I love Jay Leno (adored his quote last night about 'you can either watch skaters on Vancouver Ice or two talk-show hosts on thin ice!') His Jay Leno Show was misguided and not that good overall.

Conan is also getting support, with celebrities like Roger Ebert, Rosie O'Donnel, Jim Gaffigan, Paul F. Tompkins, Doug Benson, Ahmir Thompson, Alyssa Milano, Chris Parnell, Jimmy Kimmel, Marlee Matlin, Ice-T, Matthew Perry, Ricky Gervais, Patton Oswalt, David Letterman and me, Doug (had to say it!). Patton Oswalt even said this:

Comedians who don't like Jay Leno now, and I'm one of them, we're not like, 'Jay Leno sucks;' it's that we're so hurt and disappointed that one of the best comedians of our generation... willfully has shut the switch off."

So true, Patton, So true.

Of course, he's right. Jay Leno is funny, but Conan doesn't need to take this crud. He should be able to stay in his time slot and have Jay go home. It's sad that despite 88% of people on Twitter are in favor of Conan and want him to stay.

I am one of those people on 'Team Conan". And this is a Conan Blog.
