Matt Damon presenting the honor being given to Robert DeNiro. Standing ovation obviously because the man has been in like 70 movies... a lot of them as Italian gangsters.
You know, I was going to shrug this portion off and not really talk about it, but DeNiro is really throwing some zingers out there about foreigners, Hollywood promoters, Megan Fox, and all the terrible movies which WEREN'T included in the career reel. He gives a great little speech about "his children" (aka his films), which is worth YouTube'ing at a later date.
Megan Fox is presenting a clip for The Tourist. She looks gorgeous as always, as does Angelina Jolie.
Annette Benning takes the stage again to present Best Director. Again with the award order. Why is this award being given away before television and comedies are taken care of? What IS THIS?! Nominees are Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), David Fincher (The Social Network), Tom Hooper (the King's Speech), Christopher Nolan (Inception), and David O. Russell (The Fighter). Winner is David Fincher for Social Network. Ok, look, I can cough up the screenwriting win for the Social Network to the fact that they DID manage to turn a story about a network into an intriguing film. But director too? I don't like how this is going... because it's getting dangerously close to winning the whole caboodle. I really thought either Darren Aronofsky or Christopher Nolan had it in the bag. Social Network is trying really, really hard to change my mind.
Jimmy Fallon and January Jones presenting Best Television Series Comedy or Musical. Nominees are 30 Rock, the Big Bang Theory, the Big C, Glee, Modern Family, Nurse Jackie. Winner is... Glee, for the second straight year. Lea Michele will probably cry, as she tends to do. I hope they at least mix it up on the acceptance speech. We've beat the bullying topic to death, no pun intended. WOW and they are really trying to fit EVERYONE on the stage... THIS is exactly why categories like this (aka best film or tv series) should be saved for last. So the winners can give the long drawn-out speech they're hoping for and still take the time to fit 35 people on stage, including the bit characters like the jewish gossip blogger from Glee.
