I have to say that, for all the flak the usual Globes dinner takes, I missed the parade of the elite, the witticisms and platitudes, the stars chatting one another up, or stuck in traffic or the bathroom. I can forgive the Hollywood Foreign Press Association almost anything, so long as, next year, they lure their famous guests back to their party...

The Wus go from sleeping on the linoleum bathroom floor in a slummy, cockroach-infested apartment to full ownership of a lakeside home with a backyard in less than five years; they're forced to deal with the usual petty racism; Taotao's Mandarin, to the dismay of his parents, quickly degenerates, as does his filial piety; the Wus are barraged by a snooty Chinese emigrant...
