Golden moments from the 2012 Globes

From Madonna giving Ricky Gervais a tongue lashing to Bieber jokes, the Globes were very enjoyable.

“I feel like five million dollars!”

Sofia Vergara's red carpet comment at the Golden Globes updated the million-dollar phrase to today's currency values. Clad in her signature form-fitting, mermaid style strapless gown (this time by Vera Wang), with massive Harry Winston diamond cuffs on her wrist, she was a sight to behold. Mature glamazon Helen Mirren, trendy as ever, sported no less than five trends listed below, while wildchild-turned-crusader Angelina Jolie surprised many with an elegant old Hollywood look. Here are some red carpet trends and other memorable moments:

Gowns
