ok, so i fully admit to watching every moment of the award show last evening....and the funniest acceptance speech was from hugh laurie for house (mm connection: hugh laurie was in sense and sensibilty- a jane austen-derived film....) this wrapup is from entertainment weekly:
Maybe the Globes honored so many British stars because they can be counted on to give funny speeches. Cleverest was Hugh Laurie's speech accepting his Best Actor in a Drama Series trophy. The House star first quipped that he wished designers would donate speeches to the stars the way they do formalwear. Then he upended the cliché about thanking the crew, saying, ''I know everyone says they have a wonderful crew and logically that can't be the case and they can't all be wonderful. Somebody, somewhere, is working with a crew of drunken thieves.'' No one could have donated that bit; it was pure Laurie.
