andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

More stars have been added to the list of presenters for this Sunday’s Golden Globes.

Johnny Depp, David Duchovny, Eva Longoria Parker, Megan Fox, Mark Wahlberg and even musicians Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sting are confirmed to make appearances at the annual awards ceremony.

Previously announced presenters include Cameron Diaz, the Jonas Brothers, Amy Poehler, Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and Martin Scorsese.

The Globes, honouring the best in television and film, is expected celebrate its 66th year with far more glitz and glamour than last year, when the Hollywood writers’ strike forced organizers to cancel the extravaganza.

In its place, NBC aired an hour-long program in which the co-hosts of “Access Hollywood” read a list of winners.

This year’s three-hour event will air live from Los Angeles’ Beverly Hilton hotel starting at 8 p.m. ET on CTV and NBC.

It will be preceded by a one-hour red carpet special at 7 p.m. ET on “A” channel.

There’s a saying that the show must go on, and that’s exactly what it did on Sunday — albeit without the usual glitz, glamour and big-name celebrities.

This year’s Golden Globes was shrunk down to a one-hour news conference, after striking Hollywood writers refused to take part in the traditional three-hour ceremony.

The Writers Guild of America, which has been on strike since Nov. 5 over the issue of residual payment for online and DVD content, also had threatened to picket the show. As an act of solidarity, many actors said they would not attend.

So it was without the familiar fanfare that the Hollywood Foreign Press doled out their annual film and television awards in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“Atonement,” which started the night with a leading seven nominations, walked away with the prize for best dramatic film. The other best drama nominees were “No Country for Old Men,” “American Gangster,” “There Will Be Blood,” “Eastern Promises” and “The Great Debaters.”

Daniel Day-Lewis won the best dramatic film actor prize for “There Will Be Blood,” while Julie Christie was named best dramatic actress for her role as an Alzheimer’s-afflicted woman in the Canadian film “Away From Her.”

Receiving the award for best motion picture musical or comedy was “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” which also earned a best actor in a musical or comedy award for its leading man Johnny Depp.

Canadian Ellen Page (”Juno”) was up for best actress in a musical or comedy, but was edged out by French actress Marion Cotillard, who plays singer Edith Piaf in the biopic “La Vie En Rose.”

Best director was one of the night’s surprises. Julian Schnabel received the award for his film “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,” which also won for best foreign language film.

On the TV side of things, “Mad Men” emerged the big winner, taking the titles of best dramatic TV series and best actor in a TV drama for its star John Hamm. Best actress in a TV drama went to Glenn Close for “Damages.”

The winners in the corresponding TV comedy categories were “Extras,” David Duchovny for “Californication” and Tina Fey for “30 Rock.”

The stripped-down Globes flagged in the ratings, with Nielsen Media Research reporting on Monday that NBC’s broadcast of the conference only drew 5.8 million viewers, a little more than one-quarter of last year’s U.S. television audience for the Globes (20 million).

To further put that in perspective, even last week’s pretaped presentation of the less prestigious People’s Choice Awards on CBS was watched by 6 million people.

The complete list of winners for the 65th annual Golden Globes is:

The Golden Globes will be a lot less bright this year, as NBC has officially cancelled the award show due to the Writer’s Guild of America strike.

NBC had previously decided to go through with the ceremony without writers, but last week the Screen Actor’s Guild threw their weight behind the writers. SAG forbade any members of their guild to attend the ceremonies. And without the red carpet and the glamour, there was nothing left to save the award show.

Not to worry, though: the winners will be announced via a televised press conference at 9 p.m. on Sunday, reports TheEnvelope.com. The night will also include a tour of the hot Hollywood parties, and clips of the nominated shows.

Canadians were nominated for some of the biggest Golden Globe honours today.

20-year-old Ellen Page was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for “Juno,” and Ryan Gosling’s performance in “Lars and the Real Girl” was honoured with a nod for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. In the world of television, “Dirty Sexy” Donald Sutherland was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or TV Movie.

“Atonement” led the pack with 9 nominations, including 13-year-old Saiorse Ronan for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Drama.

Here’s the complete list of nominations.

Rumer Willis now has a title – other than “Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter.”

Willis has been chosen as 2008’s Miss Golden Globe, a role given every year to the child of a celebrity. Her job will be to bring out the statuettes to the winners.

Jane Seymour, Susan Lucci, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, and Melanie Griffith have all previously lent out their daughters on awards night.

Willis is currently working on her own acting career, as well as appearing frequently in the tabloids.

The Brad Pitt drama Babel leads the way of this year’s Golden Globe Awards. The film picked up seven nominations Thursday morning, including best dramatic film. Pitt, along with co-stars Rinko Kikuchi and Adriana Barraza were nominated for best supporting actor and actress for their roles in the ensemble film.

Also up for several Golden Globes include Martin Scorsese’s The Departed and movie musical Dreamgirls, to open in wide release on Christmas Day.

Winners will be crowned at the awards ceremony to be broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton on Jan. 15. The Golden Globes are typically considered to be a good way to predict frontrunners for Oscar nods. This year’s Academy Awards will take place Feb. 27.

The Golde Globes also honour the best in television and it was medical drama Grey’s Anatomy and comedy Weeds that received the most nods, with four nominations each.

The Golden Globes must have been pretty lame this year if the biggest story of the night is the tale of Reese Witherspoon’s Chanel dress.

Witherspoon said on the red carpet that she was wearing a vintage Chanel frock, not knowing Kirsten Dunst, of Spiderman fame, had worn the same dress to the Golden Globes in 2003.

So next thing you know, some poor guy stuck on midnights at some online publication does a little research and discovers this. In no time, Witherspoon’s dress mistake is bigger news than her win for best actress in a musical or comedy for her role as June Carter Cash in Walk the Line.

Women’s Wear Daily reported Witherspoon asked Chanel president Maureen Chiquet at an after-party why she wasn’t told the champagne gown with a metallic bust was already worn in public.

Chanel apologized for the oversight.

“We are honored that Reese chose to wear Chanel and thought she looked beautiful,” Chanel said in a statement. “We congratulate her on her well-deserved win.”

Chanel had described the dress as vintage in a press release. Gretchen Fenton, publicist for Chanel, said the gown is from the 2002 couture collection and isn’t considered vintage.

“Reese was told the dress was vintage,” Nanci Ryder, Witherspoon’s publicist, told the New York Post. “It was not. I’m not angry – just a little disappointed, but the big deal is Reese won the Golden Globe.”

And don’t forget it.
