The Nominees for Worst Golden Globes Banter

Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell: Access Hollywood

Ben Lyons, Kristin Dos Santos, and Ryan Seacrest: E!

And the winners are: TOO CLOSE TO CALL! They all sucked.

Oh my gosh, this was the worst. The Golden Globes were scaled back this year because of the ongoing Writer's Strike, and the winners were announced via press conference. Instead of A-Listers like George Clooney and Alec Baldwin announcing the winners, we were treated to Mary Hart (giving someone, somewhere, a seizure with her voice) and Lara Spencer reading off the winners one right after the other. YAWN!

On the bright side, Tina Fey won Best Actress in a Comedy. On the dark, evil side, we were denied what I'm sure would have been a hilarious speech from Tina. In the immortal word of Liz Lemon, "Blergh!" Thrilled, also, that Extras won Best Comedy. Such a wonderful, funny show with an amazing cast. Love ya, Ricky!

Other people won other awards but I really don't care to remember. Luckily, the SAG Awards will be held in 2 weeks, and SAG has made a deal with the Writer's Guild, so that show will definitely be on. Actors need their awards, dammit!

The worst moments of the night were when the presenters decided to be "funny" and make "jokes" to warm up the crowd before announcing the categories. It was so awkward to hear the deafening silence in the room. I can only imagine how awkward it was to be the one saying it.

Yeah, that was bad. You know the press people in the audience were like, "I have to listen to Mary Hart while I'm completely sober? F@*! you, WGA!!" What a nightmare.
