The largely residential city is home to many motion-picture and television personalities. - The Hollywood Foreign Press Association went for sex and star power Sunday night Sunday Night, later named Michelob Presents Night Music, was an NBC late-night television show which aired for two seasons between 1988 and 1990 as a showcase for jazz and eclectic musical artists. in handing out the 57th annual Golden Globes awards. Superstars like Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey “James Carrey” redirects here. For the murder conspirator, see James Carey. James Eugene Carrey (born January 17, 1962) is a Canadian actor and comedian. (``the Tom Hanks Noun 1. Tom Hanks - United States film actor (born in 1956) Hanks, Thomas J. Hanks of the Golden Globes'') took home some of the top prizes, and voters also went for HBO's seductive comedy series ``Sex and the City'' as well as the cable network's provocative ode to organized crime, ``The Sopranos.'' ``American Beauty'' was also a big winner, taking home Globes for best picture (drama), director Sam Mendes and screenwriter Alan Ball Alan Ball may refer to:

Lit.: Benét, 1109] See : Time Globes have taken on a weightier legitimacy as a gauge of Hollywood's most revered treasure hunt - the Academy Awards. As such, last night paid huge dividends for such stars as Cruise (best supporting actor supporting actor n → attore m non protagonista for ``Magnolia''), Denzel Washington (best actor, drama, ``The Hurricane'') and Carrey (best actor in a comedy or musical, ``Man on the Moon''). But then Carrey also won in the same category last year, and was later denied an Oscar nomination for a much worthier film, ``The Truman Show.'' Leave it the Academy to compound the error by nominating him this year. ``I'm the establishment I once rejected,'' joked Carrey. ``I'm the Tom Hanks of the Golden Globes.''

[Middle English emprisonen, from Old French emprisoner : en- boxer Rubin ``Hurricane'' Carter, gave one of the evening's most eloquent accept speeches. Bringing Carter to the podium, Washington said, ``When I was a kid, we used to say grace at the table. `God is love.' This man right here is love. He lost 7,300 days of his life and, still, he is all love.'' Backstage Washington commented on his chances for an Oscar. ``Ten years ago I was standing here in this building for `Glory.` It was a good night and it is a good night again. Hopefully in a couple months it will be another good night again (Oscar hopes). I can't say enough that this is about Rubin and the story and how we wanted to share his life.'' Actress Hilary Swank cemented her front-runner status in Oscar's actress race, winning yet another prize for her gender-bending turn in ``Boys Don't Cry.'' Swank acknowledged fellow nominee Meryl Streep from the podium, calling her ``my acting god.'' In her acceptance speech, Swank repeatedly referred to her ''Boy'' character as a man. (Brandon Teena was a woman who passed herself off as a man.) Swank elaborated backstage. ``What I was trying to do was honor Brandon for what he wanted when he died.'' British stage star Janet McTeer certainly saw her Oscar prospects improve as well, winning the best actress comedy award for her role as the mother in the little-seen independent film ``Tumbleweeds.'' McTeer wasn't buying into the Oscar hype. ``All I know is if I do go, I'll have to buy another frock.'' (Hopefully, she won't be soliciting any fashion tips from Courtney Love.) One of the evening's most popular winners was Michael J. Fox, who won his fourth Globe and third consecutive honor for his work on the ABC ABC in full American Broadcasting Co.

(It was the only award given to a network television program. HBO Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) A form of oxygen therapy in which the patient breathes oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Mentioned in: Ozone Therapy won eight Globes; Showtime took two.) Fox announced Wednesday that he would not be returning to ``Spin City'' in order to focus his energies on battling the Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonism, degenerative brain disorder first described by the English surgeon James Parkinson in 1817. When there is no known cause, the disease usually appears after age 40 and is referred to as Parkinson's disease. which afflicts him. ``My mission tonight is not to weep,'' an emotional Fox said backstage. ``Bittersweet bittersweet, name for two unrelated plants, belonging to different families, both fall-fruiting woody vines sometimes cultivated for their decorative scarlet berries. is the word that keeps coming out. It's a very emotional moment.'' Fox added that he would like to see ``Spin City'' continue. Cruise, like best television actress winner Sarah Jessica Parker (``I've never even won a spelling bee,'' she howled), seemed genuinely surprised by his win. Backstage, Cruise recounted his methods for getting into the character of ``Magnolia's'' infomercial sex guru. ``I did practice those speeches with (wife) Nicole (Kidman),'' Cruise said. ``We just made sure the doors were closed so the kids wouldn't hear.'' Barbra Streisand was given the Cecil B. De Mille lifetime achievement award. Shirley MacLaine gave Streisand the honor, filling in for John Travolta. (Travolta canceled at the last minute due to an eye infection.) ``What a great business; you get to age in public,'' Streisand quipped after watching the highlight reel of her career. Backstage Streisand said, ``I don't enjoy performing in public. I just don't like being up on stage strutting my stuff. I can't explain it to you. I guess it's a shyness I have. It makes me feel exhibitionist exhibitionist /ex·hi·bi·tion·ist/ (ek?si-bish´in-ist) a person who indulges in exhibitionism. exhibitionist An exhibitor exhibiting exhibitionism, see there .

Call the HFPA HFPA Hollywood Foreign Press Association HFPA Health Facility Planning Agency (US Army) HFPA Home Furnishings Professionals Association many things, but these people are not stupid. They know what gets ratings. The award show was once considered a fun but minor lead-up to the Oscars. Now it is considered a bellwether. Many Globe winners go on to pick up Oscars. Also, in the past HFPA's ethics have been questioned. Three years ago the group of foreign journalists instituted stricter rules about accepting gifts.
