Here’s my wrap-up of Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards.

Kate Winslet doubles up.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association embraced their own at the 66th annual Golden Globe Awards, showering big honors on the movie “Slumdog Millionaire” (filmed in Mumbai, India) and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” (shot in Spain). But winners in the TV categories Sunday night were all-American: the miniseries “John Adams,” the drama “Mad Men” and the comedy “30 Rock.”
After a year on hiatus, the Golden Globe Awards returned to television with an unusually raucous ceremony honoring nominees from both movies and television.
Last year, when the Golden Globes were reduced to a press conference by the TV writers strike, St. Louis native Jon Hamm won as best actor in a television drama for AMC’s “Mad Men” but didn’t get to accept. This year, Hamm was robbed again, losing to Gabriel Byrne for HBO’s “In Treatment.” Hamm didn’t seem fazed, however, laughing at a table with his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt.
The hostless Golden Globes certainly qualify as Hollywood’s most party-like awards ceremony. This year, they also qualified as the noisiest.
Jennifer Lopez, who opened the show by handing out the first award, had to shush the crowd (”Mama talkin’!”) before she could be heard, but loud chatter continued while other presenters tried to speak.
Ricky Gervais confronted the audience humorously. “Shush. Listen. How rude are you lot? Just because you’re film stars. Thank you. Shush.” He added, “I’m not in charge. I’m not even nominated, which is a little annoying.”
Cameras that rolled leading into and out of commercials showed attendees jumping up from their seats to mingle during breaks, as is traditional at the Golden Globes, which include dinner and drinks. And with open wine and champagne bottles visible on many tables, some continued their off-topic conversations during the show itself.
Respectful, if brief, silence did greet director Christopher Nolan’s acceptance of a best supporting actor award for the late Heath Ledger as the Joker in the Batman movie “The Dark Knight.” Ledger was widely expected to win and a clip reel highlighted his work.
Mickey Rourke drew cheers and a standing ovation when announced as best actor for his comeback drama, “The Wrestler.” “It’s been a long road back for me,” he said, thanking his dogs because “sometimes when a man’s alone, that’s all you’ve got is your dog.”  Rourke also exchanged banter with his director, Darren Aronofsky, who flipped him a potentially controversial hand gesture.

Another emotional highlight was the flustered acceptance of a best actress award by Sally Hawkins for the movie comedy “Happy-Go-Lucky.” Hawkins, in tears, put another of the night’s trends into words when she ended with, “I really should have shut up a long time ago.”
The three-hour ceremony that included a long tribute to director-producer Steven Spielberg had begun to run long when Kate Winslet picked up her second Golden Globe of the evening, this time for best actress in a movie drama for “Revolutionary Road.” (The first was for supporting actress in “The Reader.”)
Told to wrap up, Winslet held her ground. “You have no idea how much I’m not wrapping up,” she said.
