Golden Globe

One year after a strike-induced absence, the drinking resumed. Although the drew its usual set of followers tonight, this year’s program carried even more significance than usual. The reason? Heath Ledger.

To find out the answer to these questions (and many more), you can read our detailed coverage after the jump!
