2013 Golden Globes Live Blog! Part 1

4:52 PM - We're here once again for the Golden Globes, and three hours of drunken snark. Ricky Gervais has ceded MC duties to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and "Lincoln" and "Modern Family" are probably going to win everything. Let's get started!

4:59 PM - "Do No Harm" preview. Is NBC remaking "Jekyll"? I haven't been keeping up with the midseason stuff this year.

5:00 PM - It's on!

5:01 PM - Spotted Bill Murray. Is he prepping for a stealth Mark Twain bio?

5:03 PM - Tina Fey and Amy Poehler getting their digs in. Lovely slam at James Cameron there. And the HFPA. And James Franco. Ha!

5:05 PM - The ladies have this double act down to a science. Even Daniel Day Lewis is no match for them.

5:08 PM - Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture goes to Christoph Waltz for "Django Unchained." Yay!

5:11 PM - Not going to try to keep up with the presenters this year. There are way too many. Moving on, Best Supporting Actress in a TV Anything goes to - Maggie Smith in "Downton Abbey"! Sure, why not!

5:17 PM - Miss Golden Globes is a regular tradition, but this is the first I've seen of a Mr. Golden Globes. It's a nice gesture, I suppose. Always nice to see more gender parity, even if it's just handing out the trophies.

5:18 PM - Wait, Best Mini-Series or TV Movie already? Damn, I forgot how fact paced the Globes are compared to the Emmys. "Game Change" wins! Is this thing on DVD yet, HBO?

5:19 PM - It always takes me a minute to remember that Danny Strong from "Buffy" is a legitimate, award-winning writer now. Good luck with "Mockingjay"!

5:20 PM - Here comes Best Actress in a a Mini-Series or TV Movie. Stealth Poehler as fake nominee breaks up the monotony of the nominee scroll. Julianne Moore wins for playing Sarah Palin. Both "Game Change" winners have given shout outs to Tina Fey. Huzzah!

5:23 PM - Oh, we're still getting Best Picture clips trotted out by celebs who have barely anything to do with them again. We couldn't have rolled those clips from "Les Misérables" into a montage with the others? No? Oh, fine.

5:26 PM - You know NBC, that approach you're using for "Do No Harm" really didn't help "Awake" last year.

5:29 PM - President of the HFPA comes out to say a few words. Has this ever happened before? She's telling jokes and reasonably good ones.

5:30 PM - Oh dear. Rosario Dawson should have rethought that mint green number. "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" looks so much better in condensed form.

5:32 PM - Best Actor in a TV Series Drama time. Damian Lewis wins - No surprise because "Homeland" has been on a roll.

5:35 PM - And we're going straight into Best Drama, after some technical mix-up that leaves presenters Salma Hayek and Paul Rudd with a couple seconds of awkward silence. "Homeland" wins, as expected.

5:38 PM - The schmoozing going on during the commercial breaks looks so much more fun than the awards. There's Robert Downey Jr. macking on Mel Gibson. Wait, Mel Gibson? Was "Get the Gringo" up for something?

5:42 PM - Tony Mendez! The actual Tony Mendex from "Argo" gets brought out to present the clip for "Argo." And the mike's off. Aaargh. Mendez clearly isn't an actor, but he's a good sport.

5:44 PM - Jason Statham presents best Original Score, which I only mention because it's typically bizarre for the Globes. But on the other hand, I'm so glad the Globes nominated "Cloud Atlas" here, where the Oscars failed to, because it really deserved it. Mychael Danna wins for "Life of Pi."

5:47 PM - Best Original Song time. Not a bad approach here, just playing clips instead of full performances or omitting them completely. Globe goes to Adele for "Skyfall." And they had to cut to Emily Deschanel to cover up her silent expletive. Best, most genuine reaction of the night, though. I think she's got the Oscar locked.

5:54 PM - Best Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries. Not sure why they stuck this category here, instead of with the other TV Movie/Miniseries awards. And there's Tina Fey popping up as another fake nominee to keep us awake. Costner wins for "Hatfields and McCoys."

5:57 PM - Costner's still talking. I'm sure he means well, but he's still talking.

5:58 PM - Bill Clinton! They must have pulled some strings to get him here to present the "Lincoln" clip. Biggest indicator yet that "Lincoln" is in the lead to win big tonight.

6:00 PM - At last, the hosts reemerge to drop a Clinton one-liner and introduce the next presenters.

6:02 PM - Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig came prepared, pretending to be completely unprepared for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. Best presenters of the night. Jennifer Lawrence wins for "Silver Linings Playbook." Killer acceptance speech, with possibly the greatest thank you to Harvey Weinstein ever.

6:12 PM - Good grief. I think I wore that dress Kristen Bell is wearing when I was six. Best Supporting Actor in a TV Anything goes to Ed Harris for "Game Change," which isn't here.

6:13 PM - Jamie Foxx presents the clips for "Django Unchained," which have a surprising deficit of Christoph Waltz in them.

6:15 PM - And worst presenters of the night... anyway, Best Supporting Actress goes to Anne Hathaway. And she's paying tribute to Sally Field. Awww.

6:21 PM - Target is selling fruit snacks the way they used to sell perfume in the 80s. With a hot lady and whispering.

6:23 PM - Best Screenplay time. Quentin Tarantino WINS!!

6:26 PM - Jeremy Irons presents the clips for "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen." Sure, why not.

Going to a second post. Stay tuned.
