Was that one of the best Golden Globe Awards in years?

Julia Roberts, a best actress nominee for "After the Hunt," was greeted with a surprise standing ovation for her long-awaited return to Globes, using her time at the podium to celebrate Eva Victor's "Sorry, Baby." And Snoop Dogg was admittedly, comically "high" as he presented podcast of the year to Amy Poehler's "Good Hang."
