Just caught a hilarious Golden Globes moment. As Nicole Kidman won for Best Actress last year, as tradition would have it she's required to present the award for Best Actor. This year, quite unfortunately, the candidates included Tom Cruise, Jude Law and Russel Crowe. Perhaps anticipating this awkwardness, Nicole wandered onstage in a somewhat drunk/drugged manner. She mumbled out the nominees like a trooper, announced the winner Sean Pean, then mumbled "am I finished now?", at which point some minder whispered something to her and she stepped aside. Sean Penn, however, wasn't able to attend, so director Clint Eastwood decided to accept instead. As he climbed to the stage, Nicole lurched towards the microphone and said "you're not Sean Penn!", while laughing hysterically, at which point she was once again ushered away from the mic. The Globes are so much more fun that than Oscars, if only cause the celebs spend the whole time getting wasted at their tables to alleviate their bordedom.
