Golden Globes 2012: Sarah Michelle Gellar Talks Freddie Prinze Jr. As 'Mr. Golden Globes'

Sarah Michelle Gellar walked the red carpet solo at Sunday night's Golden Globes, but managed dredge up her husband's past while chatting with Giuliana Rancic on E!'s pre-show coverage.

The "Ringer" star, who is married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr., downplayed the fact that her hubby wasn't there -- he was watching football instead -- but reminded everyone that Prinze once served as the official "Mr. Golden Globes" quite a few years ago.

It's true -- a clip from the 1996 Golden Globes awards features the one and only Freddie Prinze Jr., along with "Miss Golden Globes" Jaime Dudney.

Though Prinze's Golden Globes flashback is pretty great, we would much rather see this long-lasting Hollywood couple walk the carpet together. Gellar reminded Rancic that they've been together for 12 years, which definitely seems like an eternity for a young Hollywood couple these days.

CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this article, the woman who was "Miss Golden Globes" in 1996 was misnamed. She is Jaime Dudney. We regret this error.

Check out the video of Freddie Prinze Jr. from the 1996 Golden Globes below:

Should someone mention that the young lady's name isn't Jamie Nicole Dund but Jaime Nicole Dudney.

I enjoyed watching Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I wish that some of her former cast members could appear on her new show Ringer. Ringer is a good show but it is not as good as Buffy. I wish that Joss Whedon could be a producer on the show.

I'm sure that Sarah's husband is wrapped around that 2 yr olds little finger as much as mom, whom wore a dress that she picked out, dad probably had to change the tv station to watch mom on the awards. In watching alot of different award shows, especially country music, I see alot of spouses and family's not with them. We just had a great story on 'Dolly Parton', beautiful woman for her age. I read he likes a bit of his privacy as she luvs the show. Opposites attract. I have never heard or read anything wrong that he's not with his wife...

Freddie Prince should have won the award for best writer for his masterful job on WWE Monday Night Raw

I'm pretty sure starring in Ringer isn't actually important compared to starring in Buffy.

Twelve years isn't a long marriage, but I guess in "Hollywood" years it's an eternity.

Twelve years is nothing to sneeze at.

Cute puppy:-)

In Hollywood, the average marriage lasts 12 days.

Mr Golden Globes? Is that why he was complaining about the toilet water being too cold?

I hate it when they work over time to try to start gossip about people.  Good grief.
