Biggest gyp of the Golden Globe morn: Bill Condon getting shut out even though he directed and wrote the screen adaptation of the film that's miles ahead to win best comedy picture at the Globes and best picture at the Oscars — "Dreamgirls."

Globe voters got sooooooooo carried away with slobbering over celebs today that gave Clint Eastwood two bids for best director, including one for helming a film they didn't feel worthy of nominating for best drama pic — "Flags of Our Fathers"! What sense does that make?

But Bill was most gracious gent this morn, deferring to the success of colleagues upon the announcement of Globe bids. He released this statement that — please take note — draws no attention at all to his ignoble snub. What a classy dreamboy!

"It's a real kick to get this kind of recognition on the day before we open, and I'm especially excited for Beyonce Knowles, Eddie Murphy, and Jennifer Hudson," he says. "'Dreamgirls' is a movie about performers, so to have three of our cast members honored feels very nice. I'm also delighted that Henry Krieger, who wrote the original show, has been nominated for his new song, "Listen.'"
