Brown Bunny scene
I was watching the Golden Globe red carpet the other night when Chloe Sevigny came on. The first time I'd ever heard of her was when she did the famous Brown Bunny scene. I don't doubt that there are people who were turned off of her when they heard about this scene. I suppose there will always be prudish people in the world, just like there will be spouses that are married to them that surf the internet looking for porn and refuse to admit that they masturbate.

Sacha Cohen speech
This is Sacha Baron Cohen's speech from the Golden Globes. It's agood speech; well, at the start anyway. It always bugs me when actors get an award and start listing off names that mean nothing to us. It bugs me just as much when they start playing music during a person's speech, particularly when its a good one because what it means is they're taking away time from something that's entertaining and giving it to someone else so that they can rattle off the names of people that mean nothing to me.
There's also footage of interviews with the Hollywood Foreign Press.
