Golden wha!?

... We're almost two-thirds into tonight's Golden Globe Awards and very little has surprised me...

But 'Ugly Betty' for Best Comedy Series!?!? Are you kidding me!?!

"The Office," "Desperate Housewives" and what I've seen of "Entourage" and "Weeds" are 10 times more original and funnier than "Ugly Betty" ... and if you need any more proof, look at the clips that they showed tonight while the nominees were being read. The clip for "Ugly Betty" was a scene from the first episode showing Betty not saying anything, but simply running into a glass door and falling to the floor ...

Pleeeeeeeeeeease. Hardly funny because the stunt's been used in a million other comedy sketches, movies, TV shows and just about everything else played out on a stage.

... And now America Ferrera is winning for Best Actress in a Comedy Series!! ... Again, all four of the people she was up against -- Marcia Cross ("Desperate Housewives"), Felicity Huffman ("Desperate Housewives"), Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("The New Adventures of Old Christine") and Mary-Louise Parker ("Weeds) -- were more deserving ...

... At least America's speech is heartfelt, and I'll give it to her that her Betty Suarez is putting a new face on TV and inspiring young girls ...

But the show isn't that funny!!

Dang foreign press.
