Rourke won Best Actor for his dramatic comeback turn in the gritty critics fave The Wrestler, while Springsteen took the Best Original Song category for the title song from the same film.

But curiously, when Katie Holmes and husband Tom Cruise left the bash, a waving Tom flashed a wide-eyed, somewhat maniacal stare at the photographers outside.

Katie, 29, jetted to Los Angeles to attend the Golden Globes immediately following her final Broadway performance in All My Sons.

Cruise, 46, had been nominated for Supporting Actor for his comedic role in Tropic Thunder. However, he lost when the category was posthumously awarded to Heath Ledger for his reimagining of Batman's nemesis the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Was Tom still burned by the snub, even after unwinding at the after party? Or he may simply be peeved that his current Nazi epic Valkyrie isn't exactly box office magic and won't be showing up at any upcoming award shows. Because if looks could kill...

Best keep those eyes wide shut, Tom.
