Because of the writer's strike, the Golden Globes happened last night without fanfare - or anyone really caring. I didn't even think once in the past few months, "Gee, I wonder who the Golden Globe nominees are." Turns out we've got best actress wins for Julie Christie and Tina Fey, and best actor wins for Johnny Depp, David Duchovny and Jeremy Piven. And, firstgold? You were right about Mad Men - according to this list, it's the best drama on TV.

In the absence of hundreds of rich, skinny people to photograph, it looks like all the media got was a guy reading out the results. In that spirit, I'm repeating this year's winners here for all you trivia hounds. Find the full list of nominees here. Looking at the categories, though, it could have been a really cute broadcast. (Or rather... Lee Pace was nominated. He might have shown up in a tux. I feel robbed!)

Madmen? Extras? Damages?

I seriously have zero idea what's going on anymore. I mean, I was kind of partially aware that all I'd been watching were Law & Order reruns, but when you see your ignorance spelled out like that...

I know, I know. I've barely even noticed the writer's strike (despite my woo! solidarity! icon) because I've been so wrapped up in school.

Mad Men is set in the 1960s and is about an ad firm. Christina Hendricks (Saffron from Firefly) is in it. Extras is the new Ricky Gervais show, and I have no idea what Damages is.

Speaking of Law & Order, though: apparently there's going to be a UK series called Law & Order: London.

Dude - it is like my attitude towards award shows has taken over! SWEET! The news re: Mad Men made me happy.

This can only be a good thing. Sure, the techs who would have worked the show are out of luck, but it's fairly obvious that no one missed the Golden Globes broadcast.

Aaaaaaaaand I'm really going to have to start in on that pile of Mad Men now. *hangs head*

Is okay - even I haven't finished watching Mad Men yet.

I'm wondering if I should just give up on my list of tv for the time being, and pick it up in April when I'm done. (DONE! YAY!)

I could have sworn that after 'Gangs of New York' was made, Daneil Day Lewis said he was quitting acting because it was straining him as he works so hard to be his characters.

Wasn't 'Away from Her' the one directed by Sarah Polley? The blonde girl from 'Road to Avonlea'?

I think once you're an actor, you'll always itch to be back at the craft.

Sarah Polley's one to watch, for sure: she's done tons of really interesting roles as an adult actor, and she seems quite comfortable behind the camera, too. Good on her! We need more women as directors.
