Golden Globe Awards: Social Network & Glee Top Winners List

British comedian and television writer Ricky Gervais (49) emceed the Golden Globes gala for the second year in a row, tossing barbs and biting remarks at a host of celebrities, both present and absent. Stars and starlets, having run the red carpet gauntlet into the Beverly Hills Hotel, were seated at round tables (dinner theater style) to await the pronouncements of the year's Golden Globe Awards winners.

The 68^th Annual Golden Globe Awards broadcast was choppy at best, with sound quality problems, awkward stage directions, pratfalling winners, meandering acceptance speeches, a poorly timed teleprompter, frequently unflattering celebrity audience candid close-ups and a sense of overall programming disorganization.

Despite the drawbacks, the 68^th Annual Golden Globe Awards, presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), offered golden statuettes to the winning motion picture and television candidates. In addition, Hollywood legend Robert DeNiro was feted at the 68^th Annual Golden Globe Awards and honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award.

Here is the full list of this year's Golden Globe Award winners, based on voting by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HPFA), as tallied by the accounting firm Ernst & Young.
