Jennifer Garner Was Happy to be Cut from the Golden Globes

Jennifer Garner was happy to be cut from the Golden Globe telecast last week because she was afraid that she would fall onstage. Her relief comes after a near-miss at last year's Academy Award where she bobbled and lost her balance.

Garner says, "I was supposed to present the clip for Little Children, which is a beautiful movie and I was really excited to present the clip, except I slipped the last time I presented at the Oscars and almost fell on my tookus. I never get nervous doing stuff like that, but that kind of shook me a little bit.

"Then I was a bridesmaid this summer at my friend's wedding and I slipped going down the aisle in a big way. Then it started to be a psychosomatic thing.

"I was sure that I was going to slip, I was backstage,sweating, going over what I was supposed to say and I had taped my shoes onto my feet.

"They (the producers) came running back and said, 'We've run out of time! We're running late, can we cut you? We're so sorry! Are you upset?'

"I was like, 'That's great! That's fine! Sorry Little Children, but I'm thrilled to not have to walk out there!'"
