Brad Bird, director of animation winner Ratatouille, said it "was a real honor to win the award, and I want to thank everyone who worked on the film. Disney, for doing such a magnificent job marketing it and everyone at Pixar for working very hard."
He said it would have been much more fun to be at a ceremony -- "with all of my friends and colleagues and the producer of the film, Brad Lewis, who did a terrific job -- enjoying the show. But given the weirdness of the situation and everything, we're really still just happy we won, and we're not giving it back. I have it on tape that we won, so that's my proof."
Glenn Close, best TV actress/drama for FX's Damages, was in a bar in New York's meatpacking district with the show's cast and crew. "It's a wonderful way to watch -- we were rooting for our team." If she had been there to thank people, she would have said: "I'm so happy to be working with FX. Of course, Dan Zelman, Todd and Glenn Kessler, for creating this character -- to be part of that is thrilling." As for celebrating, she would be "back home with my husband (David Shaw); we're going to have a nice evening."
Glenn Close won best TV actress/drama for FX's Damages.
David Duchovny, TV actor/comedy for Showtime's Californication, said he went to a movie instead of watching the news conference. "It would give me a stomachache. I'm sitting in a dark hotel room now with a glass of wine by myself. It's great for the show. I'm very happy."
David Duchovny got a Globe for his role in Californication.
Who would he have thanked? "The creator of the show. I was really looking forward to thanking my kids (Madelaine, 8, and Kyd, 5) since I haven't won anything since they understood the English language. It would be nice to go on TV and thank them."
