Christian Bale wins the first award of the night for The Fighter.

Katey Sagal wins Best Actress for Sons of Anarchy, beating out Julianna Margulies, Kyra Sedgwick,Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs) and a Mad Men’s Elizabeth Moss. Was that an upset? This may be Mad Men’s last season, as the creator’s contract expired today. No word of renewal.

Carlos wins for best miniseries or tv movie.

Michael Douglas will present Best Picture, and Robert DeNiro is getting the special lifetime achievement award.

Bruce Willis is introduced as Ashton Kutcher’s dad. He introduces “Red” a movie about the CIA nominated for Best Comedy. The kid from Glee wins best supporting actor in a comedy.

Michelle Pfeiffer looks beautiful and she introduces Alice in Wonderland, as the camera flashes on Johnny Depp. He’ll win for something tonight.

This is such a fast show. It’s 6:40 pm and it seems most of the awards have been given out. I wonder how they will stretch it out till 9:00 pm.

Best Song: Alan Mencken is still writing songs? He has one of the nominees. I went to elementary school with him. I wonder if I’d recognize him. Diane Warren wins for Burlesque.

I think Ricky Gervais is boring. Is he ad-libbing his jokes? Robert Downey Junior looks very handsome and happy. I’m glad for him, he had a rough road for a while.

Best original score goes to The Social Network.

Steve Buscemi wins best actor for Boardwalk Empire. Best TV Drama show: Boardwalk Empire. I didn’t think the show lived up to the hype, guess I was wrong.

Looks like despite the critics’ praise, The Good Wife isn’t getting awards this year.

Annette Bening wins Best actress for “the Kids are Alright.” She’s very classy and has such a pretty face, but I don’t get her hair. (She looks like she just got out of bed with Al Pacino who has the same distressed hair.) It was nice to see Warren Beatty’s smile when she thanked him.

Al Pacino wins Best Actor for You Don’t Know Jack. Clair Danes wins for Temple Grandin. HBO is wiping out the competition tonight. Is it their willingness to take on risky subject matter or their promotional budget?

Jane Fonda looks terrific. But I’m losing interest in the show. It’s been an assembly-line production with very little personality. Even the woman in black who just won and gave a very spirited thank you, to her mother who is from Southern California, her mother’s mother who is from Southern California, and her ancestor before that, also from Southern California, failed to wake Kyra Sedgewick up — she’s practically asleep leaning on her husband, Kevin Bacon.

DeNiro’s acceptance of his lifetime achievement award is up next. I may not make it to see Johnny Depp win.

Redemption: The montage of Robert DeNiro clips was outstanding. His acceptance speech included some substance: There would be more foreign press here if they hadn’t been deported; same for the waiters; and Homeland Security is busy doing TSA images of Megan Fox. And a lot of humor. What a great actor.

Social Network wins for Best Director. And Paul Giamatti beats Johnny Depp, who was nominated for both The Tourist and Alice in Wonderland. Other losers in the category: Kevin Spacey and Jake Gyllenhaal. Bizarre choice. And why was Angelina Jolie nominated for The Tourist in the comedy category?

What happened to Ricky Gervais? Did they yank him? He’s been MIA for a significant amount of time.

Natalie Portman wins for Black Swan. Not unexpected. She looks so pretty.

Gervais is back. Reading from cue cards. Tom Hanks is up, and now Tom Hanks and his co-presenter Tin Allen are bashing Gervais.

Best picture, comedy or musical: The Kids Are Alright scores it. Once again, why is TheTourist in this category?

Best actor drama: Sandra Bullock presents. Colin Firth wins for The King’s Speech. His speech is rambling and too long.

What’s left? The Black Swan vs. Social Network? Michael Douglas is presenting the award which goes to…The Social Network.

Everybody leaves, and Gervais comes back to thank everyone. Then he says “Thank G-d..for making me an atheist.” Huh? What a non-sequitur. No one’s listening to him, they’re all walking out.

Hope for next year: A different host.

Michael Douglas looks really good and said he found out last week the tumor is gone, he's cancer free. Catherine Zeta Jones looks great.

Angelina is gorgeous is a green Versace. Love it. Lots of dark green tonight.

Halle Berry looks beautiful but I didn't like the bottom of her Nina Ricci dress.

The worst: Not sure of their names but these two were a disaster (down to the different colored shoes.) Another miss: January Jones and Christina Aguillera.

Tina Fey and Julianna Margulies look very pale and tired. Don't like Tina's dress. Ann Hathaway's sequiny Armani dress wasn't my favorite. Jennifer Lopez's angel look misfires and she looks very bottom-heavy.

Megan Fox's Armani Prive is beautiful.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. The Michael Jackson Memorial is about to begin. The musical tributes will be great and there's suspense as to who will sing when, the family has not provided a schedule.

If you're watching, here's a thread to weigh in the memorial and the music. You can view the photos of the service below in larger format here.

Update: 11:34 am (MT): “We are going to see the King. No More Dying”. They bring the gleaming casket in. It’s topped with flowers and really quite beautiful. The crowd rises and claps. It’s very tastefully done so far. updates below.

Pastor Lucius Smith addresses the audience. Great suit and tie combo. Very low-key and again, tasteful.

Mariah Carey is up, “I’ll Be There.”

Queen Latifah reads a Maya Angelou poem.

Lionel Richie sings a religious song.

11:54 a.m. Berry Gordy. Reminisces about Michael and Motown. He’s excellent, both serious and humorous.

The crowd is so respectful. This may be the most tasteful, while not being morose, memorial we’ve seen televised to date.

12:05 pm. They turn to Michael’s music. Beautiful montage and clips of him as a child and his performances.

Stevie Wonder sings a beautiful song. Okay, if you aren’t watching today, it’s definitely worth watching the replay tonight in it’s entirety. It’s a beautiful memorial service.

Kobe Bryant and Magic Johnson

The family

Jennifer Hudson

During the chorus of Jennifer Hudson’s song, they overlay it with Michael speaking in a soft voice. Very moving.

Leave it to Al Sharpton to ruin the mood and start shouting. He sounds like he’s at one of his rallies. But he’s passionate. And he says the line that needed to be said, speaking to his children: There’s nothing strange about your father. It was people’s reactions to him that were strange.” Total change in atmosphere. They show the kids who like everyone else, stands and claps. Adorable kids, particularly the youngest, whom they call “Blanket.” When Sharpton finishes, the males in the family go to embrace him. So Sharpton was good, he energized the crowd and really defended Michael.

John Mayer plays an instrumental and also gets hugs from each Jackson family male:

Brooke Shields is very emotional, in a good way, and looks gorgeous.

Jermaine Jackson sings:

Here are the flowers:

And the best pic so far, here’s what the audience is looking at:

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee talks about the presumption of innocence. Tito Jackson sings “Gone Too Soon.”

A rare shot of Michael’s children.

A child performer, Shahim, is an incredible talent.

And now, the final musical tribute, with a variety of guests singing, “We Are the World”, each singing a line or two. His children and dozens take the stage.

You can view larger versions of the photos above here. Or watch below:

Simply fabulous. I am so glad I stayed to watch the whole thing. I can’t recommend enough that you watch the whole thing yourselves. It’s so moving and beautiful, a fabulous tribute to a man, who to hundreds of millions of people, really was “the greatest entertainer of the world.”

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson. And thank you to whoever put this Memorial together, and to the Jackson family for allowing all of us to share in it. And, finally, Long Live Michael Jackson. He really will be with us forever.
