The Golden Globes are kinda lame because they are handed out by 100 or so starf__kers claiming to be journalists -- but who aren't, despite their moniker (i.e. Hollywood Foreign Press Association). In fact, aside from Ricky Gervais's wicked awesome rip on Mel Gibson last night, the most uncomfortable jokes came courtesy of every winner who in jest claimed to have bought off the HFPA. You know. Because that would never happen in real life.
The only real value of the Globes is that it's a live telecast where celebrities are given alcohol. Whoever came up with that idea should run NBC and save that network.
That being said, celebs take it seriously because it allows them a major pay bump, and is a big step on the way to winning an Academy Award. Because I know you care, here were my reactions from the evening:
- Jennifer Aniston's dress showed no mercy, but showed a whole lotta everything else.
- NPH and David Burtka were adorable.
- Colin Farrell was adorabler.
- Sandra Bullock. The frontrunner? Truvia? I'm intrigued.
- Jeff Bridges got a standing O? Really?
- Kevin Bacon. I'm all about staying young and everything, but dude, you aren't 19 years old anymore. Stop effin' acting/dressing/talking like one.
- Mo'Nique. Wow, after the stories of her not caring for awards, to her heartfelt acceptance speech -- either she saw the light or she really is the best actress in the world.
- I wasn't terribly comfortable with Julianna Margulies dissing NBC. She'd be a nobody were it not for NBC's 10pm dramas. It's one thing for Coco to blast NBC (even though NBC gave him his big break) since NBC is also railroading him, but it's unclear that JuMa has any similar cause of bitterness. Declasse, mon amie.
- A friend of mine pointed out that James Cameron's haircut looked like Professor Snape's. I barely noticed because I muted his pompous ramblings. Remember when he interspliced a moment of silence for the Titanic victims with his proclamation that he's the king of the world? Tactful, Jimmy. Tactful.
- Lea Michele. Goddess.
