6:22 p.m.:  I bet you're wondering what the buzz is like in the room. My answer is, what buzz? The free beer that's usually on hand for the Globes press corps is apparently on strike with the writers.

6:23 p.m.:  The "reporters" are very happy Sweeney Todd just won Best Comedy/Musical.

6:27 p.m.:  "And now for the final award of the evening..." This is how long it really takes to award the Golden Globes? Twenty-seven minutes? Is that all there is? I thought these were supposed to be announcements—plural?

6:31 p.m.:  Jorge Camara's return to the stage got a bigger hand than word that Atonement won Best Drama. I guess showing up is what counts sometimes.

6:32 p.m.:  The announcements are over.

6:33 p.m.:  Um, now what do we do?
