Remember all that stuff about how Julianne Moore humanized Sarah Palin? Well, director and star just said, basically, "f— that s—."

Actress Julianne Moore won a Golden Globe award tonight for her portrayal of GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in “Game Change.” The movie’s director, Jay Roach, who also snagged a Golden Globe for best TV mini-series/movie, praised Moore for her courage. Because, you know, jumping on the anti-Palin bandwagon in Hollywood takes real guts.
Jay Roach says Julianne Moore was "brave" to mock Sarah Palin. Guess it's "edgy" in Hollywood to agree with everyone. #GoldbeGlobes

It was "brave" of Julianne Moore to portray Sarah Palin? We need to rethink our overuse of that word.

Even lefty comedian Mo Rocca and some of his fans seem self-aware:
Yes, so brave of Hollywood actress Julianne Moore to make fun of Sarah Palin. #GoldenGlobes

@MoRocca I hate it when they talk about actors being brave for taking a part.

Moore made sure to give a shout-out to other prominent women in the entertainment world for their historic roles in sliming, mocking, and demeaning Palin.
Julianne Moore gives shout-outs to Tina Fey and Katie Couric for their role in, well, destroying Sarah Palin's veep chances.

It’s been the theme of the night because, as we all know, Sarah Palin is still living rent free in libs’ heads.
#GoldenGlobes showed restraint — waited 7 minutes before delivering a Palin joke.

In front of THAT crowd? What an iconoclast! RT @hale_razor: Tina Fey goes for a Sarah Palin joke. Edgy! #GoldenGlobes

So, so “brave.”
The elitist self-congratulations, it burns.

#goldenglobes mini-series or TV movie goes to jay roach's game change: he says HBO stands for "heroic brave operation."

And, of course, Moore is eminently qualified to pronouce Palin unqualified.

This from a woman who says “electorial.”
