Hosted by the awesome Ricky Gervais, the 2010 Golden Globes did take a bit of a melancholy turn, as the chaos and grief over in Haiti was recognized throughout the evening.
Michael C. Hall won best actor in a TV series for his role as Dexter Morgan, the compelling serial killer in Dexter. Hall received his Golden Globe wearing a black benie, as the actor recently announced that he has been battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma and is now nearing the end of his treatment as his cancer is now in remission.
Highlights included Martin Scorsese, who received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, which was presented to him by Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro.
Sandra Bullock was named best actress in a motion picture drama for The Blind Side, while Jeff Bridges got a standing ovation when he accepted the Golden Globe for best actor for his role as a washed-up country singer in ose Crazy Heart...........................................

The odds of winning the Mega Millions lottery may be small at one in 175 million, but that will not stop gamblers from taking their chances with a jackpot that sometimes reaches $100 million. Iowa officials estimate an annual increase of eight to ten percent over the Powerball lottery.
(In order to win the jackpot on Mega Millions, a player must correctly pick all six numbers that are drawn. If they do not win the top prize, players may still win other prizes ranging from $2 to $250,000.)
Doesn't Iowa offer Powerball?
In Ohio, they offer Mega Millions, and are trying to add Powerball.
It’s been called the iSlate and the iTablet, but the official name for it is the Apple iPad.
Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, made the much anticipated announcement today about the coveted piece of tech that is a hybrid between a laptop computer and an iPhone.
While the size is more reminiscent of a small laptop, the function is essentially a more powerful iPhone.
The iPad is a mere half-inch thick and only weighs 1 and a half pounds. Its 9.7-inch LCD screen is great size for movie watching and its custom-built 1GHz processor, along with flash storage (available in 16, 32, or 64G😎 gives it more than enough juice under the hood for e-mail, web browsing, watching movies, etc. It has 802.11n, WiFi, as well as Bluetooth 2.1. Battery life is impressive at 10 hours on a full charge.
Similar to an iPhone, the iPad runs Apple apps without any modification required, but unlike the iPhone it will also run third party programs.
I think this has a reader function, which like the Kindle will continue to grow in popularity. Even now, e-books are less in cost than regular books.
The show opened with Lady Gaga singing "Poker Face"
