This is a popular win. Martin Scorsese wins for "The Departed." Finally wins one over Eastwood who beat him a few years back...he said:"What a time we had," working with Nicholson. Leo, our third picture together, I hope there are many more. I wanted to make a picture in the tradition pf old gangster films...thank you all, this is quite something." I'd have more but Scorsese was talking too damned fast!

Sacha Baron Cohen took the best actor in a comedy film prize for "Borat" and gave an acceptance speech that had the audience in serious stitches. It was very well-spoken and articulate which sort of obscured the gross things he was talking about such as his co-stars genitals.
"This movie was a life changing experience. i saw some amazing invigorating parts of America but i saw some dark parts of America...a side of America that rarely sees the time of day. I refer of course to the anus and testicles ofmy co-star...."
Refered to them as "two wrinkled Golden Globes...I thought to myself, I better win a bloody award for this...If it were not for that rancid bubble, I would not be here today..."
He concluded with saying: "Thank you to every American who has not sued me so far."
