11 p.m.:  The Globe-winning cast of Grey's Anatomy is on stage—and E! Online columnist Ted Casablanca is ready for business, asking straightaway about what shall delicately be called the incident, and what shall indelicately be called the pushing, shoving shakedown between costars Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey.

11:01 p.m.:  The Anatomy staffers aren't in the mood to dish about what went down between Washington and Dempsey. But Washington, who is standing at the far right end of the stage, is moved to step to the center microphone, and make one thing perfectly clear: "No, I did not call T.R. [Knight] a faggot."

11:02 p.m.:  Knight (far left end of stage) and Dempsey (centerish) don't have anything to add.

11:03 p.m.:  Dreamgirls' Mark returns with reinforcements: his Dreamgirls cast, including Beyoncé Knowles, Jamie Foxx, writer-director Bill Condon, as well as Hudson and Murphy.

11:04 p.m.:  "How are you holding yourself in?" goes the question to Knowles and her plunging neckline. Blah, blah, blah, "it's a beautiful night," goes Knowles' nonanswer.

11:05 p.m.:  Not that anyone asked me, but I'm guessing Knowles is "holding [her]self in" with adrenaline.

11:06 p.m.:  There are not enough Dreamgirls questions to Mr. Foxx's liking. "Not everybody all at once," he cracks.

11:07 p.m.:  Foxx gets a question. (It's an innocuous one about what it's like watching his costars go through the Oscar paces that he went through with Ray.) He doesn't really like the question. So, Foxx pulls a Knowles and starts going on about how it's a beautiful night, which apparently is Dreamgirls code for: "How dare you ask me that."

11:07 p.m.:  "That was awkward. That was weird," a cameraman behind me says, as the shiny, happy Dreamgirls people depart. And that about sums that up.

11:08 p.m.:  Forest Whitaker seems a little more relaxed. Of course, the mellow Whitaker always seems relaxed. He also seems genuinely grateful for the Globe for The Last King of Scotland. "I didn't really know it was going to happen," he says. "You never know."

11:18 p.m.:  Helen Mirren has so many Globes—she's back here again for her win for The Queen—she needs a helper to hold them for her.

11:19 p.m.:  Just to clarify, I ask Mirren if she's heard from either Queen Elizabeth whom she won Globes for portraying. "Elizabeth I did communicate with me," Mirren cracks. "And she said you're the first person who got it right, Helen."

11:22 p.m.:  Director Alejandro González Iñárritu's not drawing much of a crowd for Babel, which won the night's arguable top Globe—Best Motion Picture Drama. Next time, he should accessorize with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.

12:21 a.m.:  I presently am informed by the Urban Dictionary (by way of my editor) that the Streep-uttered schpilkis is Yiddish for something approximating hemorrhoids. Oh.

12:31 a.m.:  Hey, just remembered: Didn't Martin Scorsese win a Globe for The Departed? Maybe the Dreamgirls cast convinced him to spend his time elsewhere.

12:36 a.m.:  What a beautiful night! Now, where's my muffler? It's 44 degrees outside.
