1. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Slay Their Opening Monologue
Award show opening monologues can sometimes be an awkward drag, but comedy veterans Tina Fey and Amy Poehler knew just how to handle their Globes co-hosting gig. The ladies delivered hilarious joke after hilarious joke aimed at everyone from Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow ("When it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron.") to Meryl Streep ("Meryl Streep has the flu, and I hear she's amazing in it.").They even poked fun at their TV star status, joking, "Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people of television."

2. Jennifer Lawrence Wins for Silver Linings Playbook
Jennifer Lawrence took home yet another award for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, and the 22-year-old star could barely contain her excitement. "What does it say? I beat Meryl [Streep]!" she joked when she first took the stage to accept her Globe. From there, Lawrence got more sentimental, thanking her parents for all their support over the years. She also teared up as she thanked her two brothers, saying, "I wouldn't be who I am today without you being mean to me."

3. A Homeland Sweep
Much like the Emmys, Homeland swept the 2013 Golden Globes. Damian Lewis took home the award for Best Actor in a Drama, thanking his deceased mother with a heartfelt tribute, "I want to dedicate this to my mom...who I know is up there bursting with pride and telling everyone up there how well her son is doing in acting." When Homeland won for Best Television Drama, executive producer Alex Gansa paid tribute to the show's leading lady, telling the crowd, "I wish you all could have seen Claire Danes, eight months pregnant, holding a steel pipe being chased by Abu Nazir." Just a few minutes later, the new mom took home her own Golden Globe and thanked her one-month-old baby Cyrus. "I have to thank my son... for joining me in this process and for being so game in fighting this war against terrorism," Danes joked.

4. Lincoln Gets a Big Name Introduction
Who else could introduce a film about an ex-President other than...an ex-President? Former POTUS Bill Clinton surprised almost everyone in attendance when he took the stage to introduce the movie Lincoln. Girls star Lena Dunham was beside herself with excitement, while Amy Poehler had a different take. The Parks and Recreation star channeled her inner Leslie Knope, marveling, "That was Hillary Clinton's husband!"

5. Adele Makes Her First Post-Pregnancy Appearance
Adele has won pretty much every award she's ever been nominated for, but the singer still seemed surprised and incredibly grateful when she took home the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for "Skyfall." "Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "I was not expecting this, thank you so much!" According to Adele, she was just there to have a good time with a fellow new mom. "Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your world for one night," she gushed. "We've been pissing ourselves laughing over here." Taylor Swift's reaction to Adele's win was also priceless in a whole different way.

Golden Globes Backstage 2013: Quentin Tarantino Drops the N-Word

via glooce

Quentin Tarantino was nothing if not Quentin Tarantino.

Less than a minute into his press conference backstage at the 70th Annual Golden Globes, the Django Unchained winner dropped the N-word. The usually bustling press room fell silent for a second; a reporter could be heard letting out a whistle, as in, "Oh, boy."

The filmmaker's choice language came as he fieldied a question about his controversial, slavery-era spaghetti Western. Tarantino was not apologizing.

Critics who think the N-word should not have been spoken by his 19th century characters, the mile-a-minute Tarantino argued, are "saying I should massage. They're saying I should whitewash. They're saying I should lie."

Don Cheadle, a winner for House of Lies, who took the stage right after Tarantino, couldn't resist picking up the thread.

"Please no [N-word] questions," Cheadle told reporters. "Black people questions are all right."

For the record, Cheadle said he hadn't seen Django, but was looking forward to checking it out.

The Hits and Missis of Golden Globes Fashion

Thanks, Lucy Liu! Now, I don't need to visit the botanical gardens.

Meet you at the luau in 10, Halle Berry.

Marion Cotillard: OMG! Are you going to the sorority dance on Saturday?

Ariel Winter raided Grandma's closet. Th's dress seems better suited for a bridal or baby shower -- and even that would be a stretch.

Jennifer Lawrence: The "Hunger Games" star normally hits the bulls-eye. But even though she's lovely in red, if Madonna's stale torpedo bra has gone missing, we know who's underwear drawer to check out. 

A plunging neckline shouldn't distract with so much shapeless material, and Jessica Chastain's fair complexion and red hair begs for a dress with some color. Any color, really.

Denzel Washington: Uh. Did you borrow that suit. It doesn't fit, Denzel. 
Bill Murray, didn't you have a chance to change before your audition for "Brave 2"?

Anne Hathaway makes the most of her still slimmed down figure. From gown to short 'do, she embodies ethereal beauty. 

What a rockin' body, J.Lo. Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to make jaws unhinge, and this va-voom dress set hearts pounding.

Mama-to-be Kristen Bell shows how a maternity dress can look elegant without being overly revealing on the red carpet. The A-line on this gown is simply perfect. 

It's easy to see why People called Kerry Washington best dressed for the week. She literally shimmers with the kind of elegance we wished we saw more of on the red carpet.

This dress matches Zooey Deschanel's personality type, ont that's totally lacking in any pretense. For that reason alone, it makes our best list.

Bold is beautiful as Claire Danes demonstrates in this deep red gown that compliments her in every way. Next time, the "Homeland" actress should scale back on the eye makeup a touch. 

What a pair. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler know how to blend two very different styles, Fey opting for tastefully sophisticated and Poehler sinfully sexy. Loving Poehler's shoes.

Is that Bradley Cooper? Or is it Patrick Dempsey? It's freaky, but the two kind of look like they were separated at birth. But iIn our playbook, Cooper -- sporting a Dempsey 'do -- is golden tonight.
