Stars like Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin and Sacha Baron Cohen saw this year's Golden Globes as an opportunity to wax poetic on the man sacks of the people closest to them.
While presenting the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award to Warren Beatty, Hanks said "balls." A lot.
"And I think you will all agree with me when I say, what balls this man has," Hanks said. "What balls this man has. And by balls, of course, I mean artistic vision and fortitude. What balls has Warren Beatty!"
Cohen, meanwhile, picked up the best performance by an actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy for his work in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
“This movie was a life-changing experience. I saw some amazing, beautiful, invigorating parts of America. But I saw some dark parts of America, an ugly side of America, a side of America that rarely sees the light of day,” he said as the audience prepared itself for an earnest speech about xenophobia and prejudice. “I refer, of course, to the anus and testicles of my costar, Ken Davitian.”
As the audience roared, Cohen continued, “When I was in that scene, and I stared down and I saw your two wrinkled golden globes on my chin I thought to myself, 'I better win a bloody award for this.'"
Not to be left out in discussing protruding organs in the abdominal region was "Schwetty Balls" Baldwin, who won best actor in a TV series musical or comedy for 30 Rock.
"I'm glad this isn't too heavy because I just had hernia surgery December 21st,” he said. “So, I just wanted to share that with all of you."
