Reactions to the 65th annual Golden Globe Awards, announced Sunday at a news conference held by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in Beverly Hills, Calif.:

"I kinda didn't want to watch, it would just make me tense or nervous, so I went out to see a movie at four (o'clock) and I knew I wouldn't be home until it was announced. I knew if my phone was ringing when I walked into my hotel room that I would have won. And it was. Nobody calls a loser." -- David Duchovny on how he learned he had won the Golden Globe for best actor in a TV series, musical or comedy for "Californication."

------

"There is not a star to be found." -- Billy Bush of "Access Hollywood," on the Golden Globe nominees who stayed away from the event's strike-shortened news conference.

------

"We want to say to Jorge, we think you should be negotiating the writers' strike. Because if you can get `Entertainment Tonight,' `The Insider,' `Inside Edition' and `Extra' on one stage, you can do anything." -- Dayna Devon of "Extra," referring to Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Jorge Camara, who decided to have this year's winners announced by representatives of those and other shows.

------

"Rest assured that next year the Golden Globes will be back bigger and better than ever." -- Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Jorge Camara wrapping up the 30-minute news conference that substituted for the strike-canceled Golden Globe Awards show.

------

"This is a picture we love. It's finding its place in the U.S. and in movie history. We're thrilled." -- James Schamus, co-president of Focus Features, whose film "Atonement" won the Golden Globe for best drama.

------

"And yes, I yearn for the days of Jack Nicholson mooning the Golden Globes, Christine Lahti getting locked in the bathroom. But we have that for next year." -- Mary Hart of "Entertainment Tonight," who announced some of this year's Golden Globe winners during the event's strike-shortened news conference.

------

"At the end of the day it's a woman imitating a man." -- Billy Bush of "Access Hollywood," expressing surprise after announcing that Cate Blanchett had won the supporting actress award in a motion picture for her portrayal of Bob Dylan in "I'm Not There."

------

"Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press! It is a great honor to have been recognized with this award in a time when there are so many outstanding performances in this category." -- Javier Bardem, in a statement e-mailed after learning he had won the supporting actor award in a motion picture for "No Country for Old Men."
