The agonizingly slow demise of the Golden Globes ceremony yesterday, death-throes NBC valiantly tried to stave off with some unorthodox emergency surgical procedures that would've left their awards-show patient hideously mangled but still clincally alive, couldn't have been easy on network-topping perfect storm Ben Silverman.
Obviously devastated by the sobering realization that nothing he could do might save the doomed Globes from its strike-mandated press conference fate, he reached out to Ryan Seacrest, always a compassionate shoulder to cry on in difficult times like these, to lament how the "ugly" and "mean" nerd-bullies of the WGA were ruining his Hollywood prom:

Earlier Monday, NBC Entertainment cochief Ben Silverman told E! News anchor Ryan Seacrest that the network was "obviously trying to find a solution to satisfy fans of these great movies and all the incredible stars who have worked so hard all year and got this incredible opportunity.

"Sadly, it feels like the nerdiest, ugliest, meanest kids in the high school are trying to cancel the prom. But NBC wants to try to keep that prom alive."

Our heart goes out to Silverman as he continues to work through the grieving process following the cancellation of his first dance as head of NBC. Hopefully, by the time Sunday night's awards announcement event rolls around, he'll have come to terms with the crushing letdown to the point where he doesn't feel the need to numb the pain of his loss by consuming the contents of his limo's mini-bar as it idles outside the Beverly Hilton, then crash the press conference with his bitchy-hot prom-queen date in tow to bitterly declare, "Those fucking nerds can't ruin my night! Who wants to party with the cool kids back at my place? My parents are totally out of town for the weekend and I have the key to the liquor cabinet!" a shockingly immature invitation punctuated by Silverman's dousing of Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Jorge Camara with an entire bottle of Cristal.
