BEVERLY HILLS:

There’s no need for jealousy on the set of Desperate Housewives. The Golden Globes avoided anointing any of the four leads as best actress in favour of Mary-Louise Parker of Weeds. Parker plays a suburban drug dealer on the low-profile premium cable show.

Desperate Housewives won the Globe for best comedy, however. Lost took the award for best drama.

The two drama acting winners were Geena Davis of Commander in Chief and Hugh Laurie of House Steve Carell was a surprise win for actor in a comedy for The Office.

The HBO miniseries about a struggling New England town, Empire Falls, won a Globe, and so did venerated actor Paul Newman for his supporting role as the father figure.

Elvis Presley was in the building, spiritually at least, when Jonathan Rhys-Meyers won best actor in a TV movie for the lead in CBS’ Elvis.

S Epatha Merkerson, who played a rooming house operator in HBO’s Lackawanna Blues, won best actress in a TV movie.

The bubbly Sandra Oh of ABC’s hit medical soap opera Grey’s Anatomy almost lost sight of the stage in trying to retrieve her supporting actress award. “I feel like someone set me on fire!” she said.

...and the winners are;
