Whitaker wins
Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama goes to Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland. Whitaker goes "wow" two or three times. Says he's "really happy to be included in the company of Will Smith and Leonardo DiCaprio," thanks to his children, God, his ancestors, Fox Searchlight, Peter Rice, Nancy Utley, Kevin Williamson, etc.
The show is nearly at three hours and is obviously going to last longer than that. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is next, presenting the Best Motion Picture, Drama award to The Departed...right?
Comment about the show: "There used to be a drinkier atmosphere....theres no more ring-a-ding. Look at the tables...they're half-empty. Everybody's looking to get out of there."

How could they have omitted the clip for LITTLE CHILDREN? Terrible. Devastating for that movie, which needed the exposure. Somebody's head should roll for that.

I thought it was cool when Nicholson and Hoffman were standing up to applaud, even though not many other people seemed to be.

Also, wouldn't it be Kevin Macdonald that he thanked, as opposed to Williamson?

You notice that Forrest only thanked Peter Morgan and not the other writer (Jeremy Brock)? Someone's pissed in the UK!

Re Peter Morgan-I'm guessing his was the draft that counted.
