It's fitting that a pair of dark rags-to-riches stories in which the underdog endures great pain to rise up triumphed Sunday night at the Golden Globes. The biggest winner of the evening, "Slumdog Millionaire," overcame odds just to get made and has built the kind of word-of-mouth buzz most filmmakers only dream of, especially for a small picture filmed in the slums of Mumbai.

Pop the bubbly and prepare to watch HBO win every dang "miniseries" category because The Golden Globes are back! After last year's SAG-strike-press-conference-debacle, the glitz and glamour (and drunken celebrities) are set to honor the best in movies and television, and I cannot wait to dissect every awkward TelePrompTer read, every self-involved acceptance speech and every hilarious audience cutaway reaction shot.

Hi All! It's Jocelyn Vena here, MTV News fashionista for the evening. I'm here to share my thoughts on tonight's hits and misses as the celebrities roll up on the Golden Globes red carpet. (And of course, you're here to tell me if you agree or disagree, so speak up in the comments section!) I can't wait to see what everyone is wearing!

6:01 p.m.: The first man to hit the carpet is ... Ricky Gervais!! Yay! He's look fab in a simple Calvin Klein suit and tie. Very classy!

6:05: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, also in a black suit and tie. There must be some United Kingdom dress code that these guys are sticking to. JRM's jacket looks a little big for him though. Read more...
