In a victory for drinkers the world over, The Hangover has tonight won the Golden Globe for the Best Picture Musical or Comedy.

The upstart picture featuring a then relatively unknown cast was a surprise box office hit in 2009, taking $459 million off a budget of $35 million.

The Hangover was directed by Todd Phillips, co-written by Jon Lucas and produced by Phillips and Daniel Goldberg. The film was produced by Legendary Pictures for Warner Bros. Pictures. It stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, and Heather Graham.

Winners of the Best Picture Musical or Comedy Golden Globes aren’t a good measure for the Academy Awards, however with the award expect The Hangover to at least get a remote look in.

In a positive sign for Avatar going into the Academy Awards, James Cameron was tonight awarded the Golden Globe for Best Director.

In a clear and concise speech (vs some of the others earlier in the night) Cameron thanked the crew and the actors who made Avatar possible.

Notably he also gave a quote in Navi, the language of the aliens from the film.

At the end of the speech, Cameron thanked the spouses for the four and a half years it took to make the film, then concluded in thanking his wife.

Cameron will likely head into the Academy Awards as the favorite to when the directing Oscar.

Harrison Ford slurred his words and was swaying during his appearance on stage at tonight’s Golden Globe Awards.

Twitter suggested that Harrison Ford may have had a stroke recently, although there’s no public confirmation of that. Notably though an appearance by Ford at the 2008 Academy Awards had viewers asking the same thing.

Alternatively he may have simply been drunk, but what was clear from his appearance was that one of the most memorable actors of the 20th century wasn’t on top of his game.

No doubt more will be said on Harrison Ford’s appearance in the coming days. We’ll see if we can track down some video for the post shortly.

Update: Harrison Ford Golden Globe video as follows

The red carpet is soggy. Tiny Fey says, “it’s not rain. It’s just God crying for NBC.”

NPH takes the stage with Jane Krakowski and says they both have huge foreheads. Ha, ha. He said fiveheads. Michael C. Hall is up for the next award, and he looks sick.

It’s Bill and Sookeh! Go Anna Paquin.

Bummer. Best Actress in a TV Series (Drama): Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife

Does Harrison Ford’s earring creep anyone else out? It seems like a swinger’s secret signal or something.

Best Orignal Song, Motion Picture: Crazy Heart, “The Weary Kind”

Everyone is trying to fight their way to the stage for the next award, which is Best Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made For TV, Grey Gardens.

9:00-ish- Pro-tip: Playing the music- it means “shut the hell up.” Ha, ha. Colin Farrell said “balls.” Dublin, represent! Meryl Streep. Totally eye-banging Colin Farrell.

Best Actress in a Motion Picture: Meryl Streep, Julie and Julia

Kevin Bacon’s wearing molester glasses! Helen Mirren- 900 years old, and apparently into Haiku. Oh, she’s talking about Precious.

Best Actor in a Mini-Series or Made for TV Movie: Kevin Bacon, Taking Chance (He took off the perv glasses to accept the award. Gentlemanly!)

Best Actress in a Mini-Series or Made for TV Movie: Drew Barrymore, Grey Gardens

9:14- Hey, Drew Barrymore, there’s no award for overacting your acceptance speech. On her shoulder- bedazzled hedgehog. Not a choice that I would have made on the surface, but it’s working. Why isn’t she getting the STFU music?

9:23- Gerard Butler presents with Jennifer Aniston. Awkward!

Best Screenplay, Motion Picture: Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner, Up in the Air (I don’t wanna talk, you talk. Oh, Quentin Tarantino, burn!) I really feel people who have ultra-rich, connected parents should be exempt from winning awards, even if they’re fake Oscar/Emmys.

Best Actor in TV Series Alec Baldwin:, 30 Rock

9:28- No Alec Baldwin, I want my hour and a half back, damnit. I could listen to that man narrate my tax return and get turned on.

Some dude just ripped her dress! I love how she thanked her “sister wives.” Big Love is totally underrated, and she is totally awesome as Nikki.

Best Supporting Actor, Motion Picture: Christophe Waltz, Inglorious Basterds

9:57- Now presenting, Leonardo DiCaprio and my dad Robert DeNiro. DeNiro: I shall honor you, Martin Scorcese, by implying you have gay home videos with gay homosexual sex. Oddly, Scorcese looked totally comfortable with the gay sex jokes, not so much with the adulation heaped on by Leo. Wow- this montage is longer than many actual movies.

Cecil B. DeMille Award: Martin Scorcese

10:25- The Hangover guys are presenting. Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy: The Hangover. (Come on, Mike Tyson. Do something crazy.)

Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama: Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical: Robert Downey Jr., Sherlock Holmes

10:41- Robert Downey, Jr is giving the most charismatic speech of the night so far. Adorable and snarky.

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama: Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart. He totally just kissed Kate Winslet on the mouth. Some dude in with Bridges’ boys is wearing Ray-Bans. Indoors. At night. In the 2010s.

10:55- Julia Roberts says “let’s wrap this up.” IAWTC, Julia. And the award for Best Motion Picture, Drama: Avatar.

Big horny weiner Signorney Weaver- looks fantastic, but kind of like the jolly green giant. Oh, come on, James Cameron. Give it up for yourselves? Avatar has connected all human beings to each other! And itself! And cured cancer and saved the whales and stopped Lady Gaga from making music.

Ricky Gervais throws in one last plug for his new HBO show, and the Golden Globes 2010 have concluded.

The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards are on in Hollywood tonight and you can watch the entire show live online.

Live (actual show). We’ll update these if they drop.

Alt 1 (slight delay)

I caught this just now via Alex Billington over at FirstShowing.net and like him I went WTF!?!?

The ‘what’ is a movie trailer for an up-coming release called Machotaildrop and is about a young man whose dream of becoming a pro skateboarder comes true as he becomes a skater for the world’s greatest skateboard company; which of course is called Machotaildrop.

From watching the trailer I’m almost reminded of the imagery of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory but on massive doses of acid. Don’t take my word for it though and have a look for yourself and see if you don’t sit there afterwards and go WTF?!?!

I mean seriously – “do you need to be touching my horse?”
