Okay, so she's not a desperate housewife, but, she beat them out.

PARKER: 'LEGALISE CANNABIS'

Golden Globe winner MARY LOUISE PARKER has urged the US Government to legalise marijuana, after playing a cannabis-selling mother in her hit comedy WEEDS.

The 41-year-old actress, who won her second Golden Globe for her portrayal of drug-dealing NANCY BOTWIN last night (16JAN06), has been surprised by the public and critical response to the show, and admits she expected her character's controversial job to offend a lot of US TV viewers.

She says, "I'm really in favour of legalising marijuana. I don't think it's that controversial.

"I thought people would be more offended by this than they are. I'm surprised they weren't."

Parker adds she was stunned she beat DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES stars MARCIA CROSS, TERI HATCHER, FELICITY HUFFMAN and EVA LONGORIA to win Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series - Musical Or Comedy last night.

She adds, "I thought Felicity would win. I think we're all desperate housewives. My character is just a little bit more desperate than theirs."

It's a neat show but her performance in it is pretty mediocre. I hadn't read anything about the Golden Globes and I'm really surprised by this. I guess against those other four she would have been my choice as well but I'm not impressed. Generally I think she is really good at what she does, just not in this case.

I'd do her.

I'd do her.
Yup!

I have to wonder how people in hollywood manage to actually make any movies or tv shows since it would seem that they spend a huge portion of their time giving themselves awards.

[beachguy in thongs]

I don't really understand. She didn't give herself the Golden Globe Award.
That was her night out.

I dont have SHO...but I did download the whole first season of Weeds (and would suggest to everyone on here)...I thought it was great that there was a show that didnt show weed negatively on tv. I was also happy that a show about weed could actually win golden globes. Its really a start and shows that a good majority of people are moving in the right direction.
