Golden Globes Party Scenes

Who has the most to celebrate at the Golden Globes is always debatable, but the assessment of Disney’s Rich Ross that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association "spread the love around" was fair. Even host Ricky Gervais spread more love this year (and earned pans from disappointed critics). While The Weinstein Co. -- with The Artist, The Iron Lady, My Week With Marilyn and W.E. -- picked up six of the 14 film awards, best director went to Hugo’s Martin Scorsese, The Help’s Octavia Spencer and Beginners’ Christopher Plummer nabbed supporting wins, and The Descendants won for best drama and lead George Clooney. After the show, about 5,000 guests hit the Beverly Hilton’s six affairs, to-ing and fro-ing everywhere from HBO’s poolside party and Fox’s tent to Sony’s eighth-floor Stardust Room bash. Sofia Vergara and Ty Burrell, ecstatic about Modern Family’s comedy series win, danced at the InStyle/Warner Bros. soiree. Harrison Ford turned out to be one of Peter Dinklage’s biggest fans, locking down the Game of Thrones supporting actor winner for a chat. Harvey Weinstein, meanwhile, could afford to be expansive, praising drama series winner Homeland as "the best show on television" and downplaying talk that "this hasn’t been a great year for movies. You’ve got Steven Spielberg, Marty Scorsese, David Fincher all making films. It’s been an amazingly great year." -- THR Staff
