Like just about everyone on the planet, Justin Bartha of ‘The Hangover’ was surprised when his film received a Golden Globe nomination for best picture -- comedy or musical.

‘I didn’t know we would be at the Golden Globes when we were shooting it, but I’m thrilled to be here,’ he says.

And the film’s chances? ‘It’s possible, who knows? It’s one of my favorite movies of the year.’

But watch the actor get sassy when it comes to questions about his maybe-girlfriend, Ashley Olsen. ‘I have a bunch of lady friends here. They’re all with me.’
