Showtime's 'Homeland', HBO's 'Girls' TV win big at 2013 Golden Globes

The world of television and motion pictures joined forces on Sunday night for the 2013 Golden Globes. For the second year in a row, Showtime's "Homeland" won big, taking home the big three awards on the drama side. "Girls" shocked everyone by winning Best Comedy in its debut season. As an added bonus, Lena Dunham also took home Best Acress for her role on the show.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler served as co-hosts and despite their obvious chemistry, their jokes fell flat more often than not. After their boring intro, they were rarely seen during the telecast. Without them, the night was mostly humorous, save for the occasional winner or presenter that clearly had a little too much to drink.

One of the first big awards of the night went to "Game Change", for Best TV Mini-Series or Drama. The political drama featured Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin and Ed Harris as John McCain during the 2008 Presidential election. Moore also won Best Actress for the role.

The big winners were both from cable channels. "Homeland", which one for Best Drama; Best Actor in a Drama, (Damian Lewis); and Best Actress (Claire Danes). The Showtime drama won for the second year in a row. The fact that HBO's "Girls" won too shows that network drama's are going to have to step it up if they want to be relevant.
