saying it was going to be one of those nights. if you missed it, here's a taste of what ricky gervais was like. >> so, where was i? nervous? don't be. the golden globes are just like the oscars but without all that esteem. i want to ask you a question. it's real. you can have some. >> just checking. >> and be honest. >> what? >> are you on drugs? i'm joking. that's not the question. >> you thought it was going to go that direction from the tone of the beginning, but, i don't know, i love ricky gervais. he's a brilliant talent. i thought everybody looked pretty stunningly beautiful. >> in case you missed it, the winners, the best motion picture drama is the george clooney movie, "the descendants." >> actually, alexander payne directed it. >> i call it the clooney movie because he's the one everybody's heard of.

don't see her very much, was elle mcpherson. she's 47 years old, had several children. she is still -- i've known her for probably 25 years. she looks exactly the same. gorgeous. so -- >> "homeland" won best drama. >> i haven't seen that either. >> like all of those shows are on cable. >> i don't know how to tivo anything. so if you're up late on saturday night, by the way, snl had some fun, i guess, at our expense again. >> how many emmys have they won for their writing and they're stuck with us? that's sad. >> we didn't see it. let's see. >> this week nbc's "today" show celebrated its 60th anniversary or, more accurately, its 60 years descent into madness. >> oh, that's nothing. that's the truth. that's the truth. i heard at the party last week

home because we got to see him. but how did he play in that room with those jokes? >> i think people were appreciative of it. i think -- everybody i talked to afterwards coming out going to the parties all loved him. i didn't get one person saying i didn't think he was that good. if anything, i think they were maybe expecting him to come out with guns blazing a little bit more. but for the most part, everybody thought he was right on. >> he got some laughs that were good but didn't have that hard edge. i'm sure some people think, oh, gosh, he toned it down. i thought it was really funny, that moment with madonna when she sort of got him back. >> he comes running across the stage. >> running across the stage. >> i felt like he won that one. >> yeah, me too. >> i think she's using an estonian accent now. that's what i've narrowed it down to. no longer english or british, estonian. let's watch the clip and take a peek. >> she's a material girl, and she's just like a virgin. please welcome madonna!

>> just like a virgin, ricky? why don't you come over here and do something about it. i haven't kissed a girl in a few years. >> yeah, she didn't seem comfortable. for a woman who's been performing her entire life in front of gazillions of people, i think, what i sensed, and i don't know madonna so -- i think she sensed at that point had she won, had she -- >> yeah. >> i think she's hurt that her movie that she has such great passion about has been basically maligned in the press and has not received the attention that she wants it to. i understand that. what do you guys think about that? >> i don't know about that, kathie. she's a very talented woman. she's just not a stand-up comic. >> on a shallow note, i loved her dress. >> al, tell us about the parties. we get to see the stuff on tv but not backstage. do they go wild back there? >> i wouldn't say they go wild, but they kind of let loose.

they see friends that, you know, they want to reconnect with and they really kind of let their hair down. i mean, getting to see helen mirren, morgan freeman and jeremy irons talking. but you know what, they were really connecting and talking. you could tell they were enjoying talking to each other. i think those parties, that gives them a chance to do that. >> well, there's a lot of drinking that goes on at the golden globes to begin with. >> like part of a show. >> hey, hey! >> there is an echo. >> is something going on? are you going to finish the sentence? >> no, no. what were you going to say, hoda? >> i was going to ask real quick, two highlights, savannah, the number-one highlight of your time there. >> i loved that little dog. he kind of stole everything. so cute from the artist. i think we both fell in love with octavia spencer. she's so amazing and so deserved it. she's such a charmer. she loves the "today" show.

>> yeah. her speech was so touching, really touching. and the tribute to morgan freeman from sidney poitier was just amazing. >> we see him so rarely and he seems so frail, it broke my heart. this is one of the most beautiful men inside and out that god ever made. >> and i think the only standing "o" of the night. isn't that right, guys? >> completely right. >> you guys, thank you so much. >> i thought it was a good show overall. >> and you guys were a plus, baby. >> see you tomorrow. >> still to come, we're going to get to the stuff you really care about, who looked really good and who not so much. >> and up next, we'll tell you about all the other news in hollywood, all the stuff that everybody is buzzing about. do y? when i'm on the night shift. when they have more energy than i do. when i don't feel like working out. when there isn't enough of me to go around.
