How 'Bout the Globes on Them 'Dreamgirls'?
Overheard at the Golden Globe Awards:
"'Everyone's drinking,' said Weeds star and supporting-actor nominee Justin Kirk. 'You sit at a table and they feed you and drink you.'" -- AP
"Cameron Diaz was probably the worst dressed at the entire awards show." -- Worst Dressed List at HollyScoop
"I love gay. I wanted to be gay," said Grey's Anatomy's Isaiah Washington on the red carpet. "Please let me be gay." -- AP.
"Washington took the microphone from [show creator Shonda] Rhimes and said: 'I did not call [outed "Grey's" co-star] T.R. [Knight] a faggot.'" -- Out in Hollywood.
"I swear I have my papers, governor, I swear," Mexican director [of "Babel"] Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu joked in heavily accented English after being announced winner by the crutches-wielding Gov. Schwarzenegger. -- L.A. Times.

"Thank you to every American who has not sued me so far." -- Sacha Baron Cohen, via "Winning Quotes at Golden Globes."
"Dreamgirls" snagged 3 awards, Scorcese won best director, and Baron Cohen got the nod (over Johnny Depp) for best role in a comedy as Borat. "Ugly Betty" scored best TV comedy.

Kudos to The Daily News' new Red Carpet blog for keeping up with (if not besting) L.A. Times The Envelope's coverage.
