The Golden Globes has always been my favorite awards show. the stripped-down presentation and the giant bottles of champagne on the tables make for a decidedly non-tedious and drunken affair. Plus, the Hollywood Foreign Press can only be taken so seriously, which makes for some delightful acceptance speeches. My favorite from last night was probably Tina Fey's speech for her Best Actress in a Comedy win.

It was short, sweet, to the point, and most importantly, it was funny. When Fey called out the internet commenters who have given her grief over the past year, I, like most people assumed she was making up screennames for effect. Well, it turns out that "Dianefan" and "BabsonLacrosse" are actually real people who had not-too-nice things to say about the erstwhile 30 Rock star and Sarah Palin impersonator.

Gawker dug up the comments to which Fey was referring on the LA Times Envelope awards site. While the comments were definitely not flattering, "Tina Fey was simply like the pimple on my face - just there I think that the key issue here is the fact that when Tina is at her best, she's just not that great," I've seen far worse on the internet (some of which have probably been directed at me from some of the commenters on this site!). If Tina Fey really wants to get her head out of the clouds, she needs to get off of the LA Times site and into the nitty-gritty of the internet.

But, hey. Everyone's a winner in this situation. Some anonymous internet commenters get a dose of fame, the Golden Globe audience gets a funny speech, and at the end of the day, Tina Fey has yet another award to add to her mantel. Not too shabby for a pimple.
