Mad Men won for TV drama series, 30 Rock for comedy series, and Modern Family for best new series. The Simpsons won for animation writing.

At the prestigious Berlin Film Festival, Roman Polanski got the Silver Bear Award for best director for The Ghost Writer. (Why can't Oscars be named after animals? Best actress could be Platinum Whale, best actor Uranium Opossum . . . just a thought . . .) Under house arrest in Switzerland, he's fighting extradition to the United States over his 1978 sex-with-an-underage-girl case, from which Polanski, now 76, famously scrammed before sentencing. Berlin judges named Turkish film Honey winner of the Golden Bear award (come on, this is so cool!) for best flick.

Rumors fly that the Super Bowl XLIV halftime show may be the final windmill for The Who. Others say it came one show too late. . . . TV never-wuzzes Jon and Kate Gosselin sold their Elizabethtown home at a loss, says a real estate Web site. . . . Martha Stewart said on her show that she bribed daughter Alexis with clothes to stand up straight. No slouching, young lady! The tab?: $60K. Hey, we'll assume any posture you want for that! . . . How'd you like Scarlett Johansson on the David Letterman Show? She complained about Liev Schrieber, her Broadway costar in A View From the Bridge, and how he spits while acting. . . .
