Golden Globe gossip Pants-dropping and unexplained rashes - the inside story of the 2006 Golden Globe Awards. There was an interesting twist to this year's Golden Globes: the show which celebrates TV shows felt it couldn't compete with one of it's nominees and moved 24 hours later to avoid a time clash with the new Desperate Housewives series. Good choice. As last year the conflict cost them 7.5 million viewers. Despite the rescheduling, all seemed normal at the ceremony. Until Will & Grace star, Eric McCormack (Will) was photographed without his trousers backstage. He is posing with his cast members, all smiley faced... just without pants. But, I suppose, that pretty much sums up what we love about Will & Grace: pointless fun and beautiful bodies. He was allergic to his pants, something he'd have in common with Scarlett Johansson. The young actress almost made a swollen appearance at the ceremony. Says Johansson, "I think it was something I ate, or something I put on my face, or something bit me. At 3am, my eyes, face and mouth were so swollen it really scared me." Johansson was nominated as Best Actress for her performance in A Love Song for Bobby Long. Despite the pants dropping and the rashes, the ceremony was successful and turned out to be a 'night of rights'. The Best Picture went to the gay cowboy film, Brokeback Mountain. Best Actress went to Felicity Huffman in a gender-bending role as a man preparing for sex-change surgery in Transamerica and Best Actor went to Philip Seymour Hoffman's role of the gay author Truman Capote in Capote. Yip, just when you thought political correctness was waning, the Golden Globes bowls it back into style. |
