68th ANNUAL GOLDEN GLOBES: The night belonged to The Social Network, The Fighter's Christian Bale, Glee's Jane Lynch & Chris Colfer, Boardwalk Empire's Steve Buscemi & Robert DeNiro!

The 68th annual Golden Globe Awards show is airing now on NBC. You're probably enjoying it from your warm home as we are. Lucky us... the actors, writer and directors have to get all gussied up, temporarily lose vision from the flashbulbs exploding in their faces - oh, and they get to wait in this traffic (as provided via text from Eric Stonestreet, aka "Cam" on ABC's Modern Family).
Host Ricky Gervais kicked off the show with (awesome) digs. "It's going to be a night of partying and heavy drinking... or as Charlie Sheen calls is breakfast."

He also made fun of Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie by saying everything this year was three-dimensional except the characters in "The Tourist." Ouch. Cher, Hugh Hefner and Tom Cruise were also victims of Gervais' humor... AND WE LOVE HIM FOR IT!

The first award of the night was for Supporting Actor. Christian Bale won for "The Fighter." He thanked his wife and looked at the cameras to thank his daughter. "I love you darling, this one's for you."

The night's Best Actress in Television Drama went to Katey Sagal for "Sons of Anarchy." She had a long walk to the stage. "I'm so shocked." She thanked her husband Kurt Sagal, who is the creator of the show. "I'm so glad you're the boss of me." She also thanked her kids for "being patient with a mommy who works" Other nominees were: Julianna Margulies, "The Good Wife"; Elisabeth Moss, "Mad Men"; Piper Perabo, "Covert Affairs"; Kyra Sedgwick, "The Closer."

The Miniseries or Movie award went to "Carlos" Sundance Channel. Other nominees: "The Pacific" HBO; "Pillars of the Earth" Starz; "Temple Grandin" HBO; "You Don't Know Jack" HBO.

Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series, Miniseries or Movie went to Chris Colfer, "Glee". To kids who are bullied or told they can't be who they are, Chris says "Well, screw that, kids." Other nominees: Scott Caan, "Hawaii Five-O"; Chris Noth, "The Good Wife"; Eric Stonestreet, "Modern Family"; David Strathairn, "Temple Grandin".

Paul Giamatti stole Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Drama and Natalie Portman snagged its female counterpart, Best Supporting Actress (motion picture drama) for "The Swan".
Some buzzed over Sandy Bullock's lack-luster announcing performance. @RealSKOriginals fans @ranggrol and @Possessionista threw out "Sandra Bullock appears to be dressed as Cher, and appears to be heavily medicated" and "Wait. I thought I loved Sandra's looks. But now her hair looks greasy and her dress is just eh. #GoldenGlobes beer goggles?" respectively. Yikes.

Capping off the night, as many anticipated, "Social Network" took home the GG for Best Motion Picture, Drama. This sparked the true controversy of the night and two sentiments (SKO predicts they'll be Top Tweets before the night's end)- "Did Social Network win because everyone has a Facebook account but not everyone likes ballet? #GoldenGlobes" (referring to "The Swan") and "Social Network wasn't really the best movie, it just had more friends."

Fashion of note...
Shades of green, red, pink and blush dominated the red carpet. One-shoulder gowns were nearly as popular as strapless gowns and the accessory of choice was champagne.
Christina Aguilera wore a black Zuhair Murad gown with a sheer underlay said watching herself in a movie "was incredibly nerve-wracking." Her son Max is 3, she said she wants more kids but not right now.
Jennifer Lopez wore a white Zuhair Murad gown with a sheer capelet lined with crystals.
Megan Fox wore an Armani Prive pink one-strapped gown.
Anne Hathaway wore a long-sleeved sequin Armani gown with slightly puffy shoulders.
Halle Berry wore a black Nina Ricci gown. She said she can't sing a tune.
Claire Danes wore a backless, pink halter Calvin Klein Collection gown.
Robert Downey Jr., who wore a gray Prada suit with a red tie, said his friend Gwyneth Paltrow called him for advice before playing her "Country Song" role. "She said I'm playing a drunk what should I do?"
Mila Kunis wore an emerald green, one-shoulder gown. She and Natalie Portman both lost 20 pounds for their roles as ballerinas in "Black Swan."
