Argh! Being a cable cutter is starting to drive me insane when live events occur. I finally got a friend's Comcast credentials so I thought I could watch the Globes on NBC's web site's live feed. But no, they blacked out when the show started!

Any suggestions? Argh again!!!

The last time I saw golden globes I was on the beach in Miami.

Oh, and I'll add to the antenna fan group. Beautiful, non-compressed HD. Free reception.

That was so tasteless and puerile.

The best part is the crowd reaction. They don't want to laugh. But they do.

I suppose different people laugh at different things, I didn't find it comical.

Oh I don't know....topical, controversial, awkward.....what's not to like from a comedy perspective? It was exactly the type of comedy you'd want to see more of in these colourless award ceremonies....
