Tv, Awards Season | featured news

The Nielsen Co. says Sunday's Golden Globes ceremony was seen by 16.8 million TV viewers. It beat all network competition in its time period but dipped slightly from last year's audience for the film and TV awards show....

Ricky Gervais, who has hosted the Golden Globes three times, has ruled out the possibility of returning for a fourth. He took to his blog to make the announcement saying, "I've told my agent to never let me be persuaded to do it again though. It's like a parachute jump. You can only really enjoy it in retrospect when you realise you didn't die and it was quite an amazing thing to do."

Moviegoers looking to the Golden Globe Awards as Oscar forecasters should consider their bets hedged. “The Artist” was Sunday night’s big winner, taking home three prizes, including one for best comedy. But it was a photo finish with “The Descendants,” which won two awards, including best drama.

One day after Eddie Murphy stepped aside as host, the Academy named a replacement with Oscar experience, moving quickly to fill another key role that had been vacated this week.

The Facebook tale "The Social Network" won top honors Sunday at the Golden Globes with four prizes, including best drama and director, solidifying its prospects as an Academy Awards favorite.

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," TV's "House M.D." and Eminem each won four awards at Wednesday's ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
