Timberlake's Joke Steals the Show at Globes Noms

By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 15th 2009 11:21AM

Note to future awards show nominations producers: Invite Justin Timberlake to read, as he was a breath of fresh air during the 2010 Golden Globes nominations show. With one simple sentence referring to John Krasinski's likely impending night of celebratory nookie thanks to his fiance's nomination, Timberlake once again proved he's the coolest dude in the room.

As Timberlake was presenting the nominees for Best Actress in a Drama, the first nominee was Emily Blunt for her role in 'The Young Victoria.' As chance would have it, Krasinski -- Blunt's fiance -- had just presented and was standing off-stage, causing Timberlake to go off-script a bit. "Ho ho ho," Timberlake joked, adding: "Somebody's gonna have a good night tonight."

As the room erupted in laughter, the bespectacled Timberlake feigned an apology, saying "Sorry" with a big smile.

Even his next words, in which he announced Sandra Bullock scored a nomination for 'The Blind Side,' was funny for no real reason at all. As the room chuckled, Timberlake thanked them.

Timberlake's lively spirit seems to have also influenced the nominees this year, as action flicks like 'Inglorious Basterds' and 'Avatar' got best picture and best director nods. Want more Globes? Check Out Moviefone.com's Globes Coverage for All the News

What a overblown joke.
Obviously the author can't distinguish an "eruption of laughter" from a titter.
If that was the highlight of the night, it must have been an incredibly boring event.

Laura, your teenybopper crush is showing.

Geez; No one could pleez all deez h8terz.
I too made fun of the boy in the boy band, but that boy did turn out to be a cool man and one that is confident enough to play down his style to "nerd" cool. I like him as a person and love sexy back. Justins alright, I hope to see more of him in movies too and he is smart, talented and good looking! Kudos to the "which trailor" remark.
Unfortunately cool people live in trailors too, but the Haterz aint cool, talented, or good looking! I'll just bet!

I will add though, that there was no big joke here, just something said that was a little cute. Nothing news worthy, but Justin lovers will take anything, so it must be for them and yeah, I like him, but this was nothing to me either.

It was the ageless living legend Betty White who was hilarious when she spoke accepting the lifetime achivement SAG award.
