Lesson: Your awards banter is underwhelming? Just do it yourself. "When we found out we were presenting together at the Golden Globes… they always send you copy and it's always terrible. Bad jokes," Longoria told the Television Critics Association crowd on the Telenovela panel. "We both took it back to both of our [shows'] writing staffs."
