Sidebar - I actually have a recurring dream where I win a Golden Globe (Best Screenplay fyi) and my dress gets caught on Meryl Streep's chair and I trip and fall into Leonardo DiCaprio's lap. Instead of getting upset that I've landed all of my plus size arse on top of him (though in my dreams I'm always a LOT thinner), he does a scoop and hold like Kevin Costner did to Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard and gets me to the stage. I KNOW right?
Last night's Globes were a bit of a mixed bag. I was happy to see The Social Network win so many awards but I was really hoping something would go to Inception as well since for me it was the best movie of the year, maybe even my life. Some of my favorite moments:
- Chris Colfer winning for Glee and saying he left his heart somewhere between Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore. Really his entire speech was awesome.
- Paul Giamatti not being able to get over the fact that Halle Berry presented him with his Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy award
- Robert DeNiro's Cecil B. DeMille acceptance speech. Totally awkward despite the fact that he's the greatest actor of our time.
- Toy Story 3 winning Best Animated Film. (I may or may not have gone into the ugly cry when they showed the clip)
- Jim Parsons winning Best Actor in a Comedy for "The Big Bang Theory." Bazinga.
- Aaron Sorkin's acceptance speech for Best Screenplay. "Elite is not a bad word, it's an aspirational one."
- Melissa Leo screaming "Mama I won a Golden Globe!" after her supporting actress win
- Joseph Gordon Levitt's enthusiastic intro to the Inception clip. Hello adorable dimples.
- Ricky Gervais making everyone in the audience profoundly uncomfortable which was hilarious to watch. I have to laugh at some of the celebs' reactions about him being mean spirited and what not, seriously go dry your eyes with a $100 bill.
Anne Hathaway. Very 80s inspired but I thought she pulled it off beautifully and I especially loved the low back.
Mila Kunis. Loved the color and the drama. She looks like a movie star should look. I think everything about this dress says "suck it Macaulay Culkin"
Christina Hendricks. I have such a girl crush on her. I love a girl who knows how to work the va-va-va voom. Plus she's a ginger!
Emma Stone. My girl got nominated for Easy A! I loved that movie and thought she looked young and fresh and very ingenue-ish. Well played Emma.
Claire Danes in my favorite color. Although I loved her Emmy dress much more than this, I think she looked beautiful and classy and was excited to see her win and get another chance to ogle her cutie pie British husband Hugh Dancy.
Really Halle? Really? Really? I totally understand Paul Giamatti's befuddlement. This is just unfair to the rest of us mere mortals.
Did you watch the Globes this year? What was your favorite part? Who's dress did you love or hate?
I loved the parting line.. "thanks to god for making me an atheist. " haha nice. and i especially loved him picking on tom cruise.. i did not like anne hathaway's dress and i did not like angelina jolie's dress. i liked christina hendrick's dress and julianne moore's and i cant think of any others off the top of my head.
ReplyDeleteI liked Mila Kunis's too but I think I liked Natalie Portman's the best. Or maybe I thought she just looked adorable because she's pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI'm not feeling Halle Berry's dress. Claire Danes and Emma Stone both look amazing. I wouldn't have known that was Emma Stone if you hadn't told me. (I didn't watch the show.)
ReplyDeleteHalle could wear a toga and still look amazeballs. And Mila Kunis looks INSANE, hot stuff!
ReplyDeleteMila Kunis of course looks amazing! Love Emma Stone too but I miss her red hair...not fond of the blonde.
ReplyDeleteChris Colfer's speech and all the Glee people tearing up made me tear up. And I'm so freaking excited for Jim Parsons. Love him. Emma Stone is kind of getting ripped apart for that whole look but I really like it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch them. They all look beautiful, though.
ReplyDeleteI confess that I didn't watch, but you're so right about Halle. Guess she lives by the old motto, If you got it, flaunt it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Mila's dress. That is such a pretty color.
Anne Hathaway is gorgeous in person, completely perfect and flawless! She was on when I went to Ellen and walked right next to me ;-)
ReplyDeleteI loved Chris Colfer's speech! And I don't even watch Glee! He was darling.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do love all things Ricky G. Sigh.
