2012 Golden Globes, the mishap came care of Sarah Hyland, the adorable "Modern Family" actress.
Hyland's little accident came to light, of course, by the super-sleuths that are the E! correspondents. "I'm laughing," Giuliana said, "because I saw your zipper break on the red carpet! And I was like, 'E! Send a camera right over there!' "
But of course the impossibly charming Hyland took it in stride. "I kind of just felt an explosion in my back," she said, and her dress started to fall. But luckily she kept her simple zipper malfunction from turning into a much-feared nip slip. "I grabbed [my dress] before it was too late."
Sunday night's Golden Globes, but managed dredge up her husband's past while chatting with Giuliana Rancic on E!'s pre-show coverage.
The "Ringer" star, who is married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr., downplayed the fact that her hubby wasn't there -- he was watching football instead -- but reminded everyone that Prinze once served as the official "Mr. Golden Globes" quite a few years ago.
It's true -- a clip from the 1996 Golden Globes awards features the one and only Freddie Prinze Jr., along with "Miss Golden Globes" Jaime Nicole Dund.
The King's Speech," then consider 2012 the start of his next dynasty. The president of The Weinstein Company dominated the 69th annual Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday night and seems poised to rule the Academy Awards next month with similar ease. This despite not taking the stage once.
No fewer than five winners thanked Weinstein at the Globes: both Best Actresses, Michelle Williams and Meryl Streep; Best Actor in a Comedy Jean Dujardin ("The Artist's" French-speaking lead, who struggled through his English-language speech and still managed to thank Harvey); and Madonna herself. The Queen of Pop called Weinstein "The Punisher," a term that was later echoed by Meryl Streep during her acceptance speech.
We got a dose of crazy at the VMAs, a hint of glamour at the Emmys and a smattering of film fests since then. But the glamorous Golden Globes are what we've been looking forward to all season -- for the gorgeous red carpet dresses, of course.
And we've got all the gowns right here, plus the shoes, bags and bling. So who's got the best look of the night and who has the worst? You'll have to decide that for yourselves.
Golden Globe nominees, it also seems to have been the year of the 40-something actress.
Ageism is still alive and well in Hollywood -- no one is questioning that. Just last fall an actress filed a lawsuit against IMDB for revealing her age, claiming that it had cost her potential roles. And though 24.3 percent of the U.S. population is made up of women over 40, CBS News reported that this demographic only gets about half that percentage of TV and film roles. However, looking at the 2012 Golden Globe nominees, you wouldn't know it. Eleven of the female nominees are in their 40s, and many of the others (Jessica Lange, Meryl Streep, Tilda Swinton, Glenn Close to name a few) are in their 50s and 60s.
Whereas last year's awards were dominated by discussion of performances by younger stars like Natalie Portman ("Black Swan"), Anne Hathaway ("Love & Other Drugs"), Emma Stone ("Easy A") and Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone"), this year there is hardly a 20-something in sight, with the exception of Rooney Mara. And it's especially heartening that these mid-life actresses are being recognized for substantial roles.
The names were familiar: Kelsey Grammer, Matt LeBlanc, Claire Danes, Laura Dern and Jessica Lange. The television work for which they were honored by the Golden Globes Sunday night wasn't.
They are actors largely known for their work in film or in shows on commercial broadcast networks. Each took Golden Globe trophies for roles on new cable television series that won critical acclaim and commercial success in the past year, sometimes both.
Danes won her third Globe for portraying CIA agent Carrie Mathison on Showtime's new "Homeland." The series that explored terrorism and an Iraq war veteran also won a Golden Globe for best television drama.
Danes, who won her first Globe at age 15 for "My So-Called Life," remembered being so flustered then that she forgot to thank her parents.
"I am so lucky to have another opportunity to let them know how lucky I am to have their love and encouragement," she said.
Grammer's signature television role was the pompous psychiatrist Frasier Crane for many years on "Cheers" and "Frasier," but he won for best actor in a TV drama Sunday for playing a powerful Chicago mayor on Starz's "Boss."
