The Golden Globes went mostly as expected last night. I predicted almost all of the major category wins correctly, but unfortunately only took home second place in a pool I played with some gals and gays. I think it's blatantly obvious who will be scoring Oscars come the end of February (hint hint The Social Network, Colin Firth, Natalie Portman). But as always, dutifully playing the role of the drunken cousin to the Oscars, The Globes provided some splendid surprises and entertainment last night. A few of the awards from last night's performance that I think deserve mention are as follows:
- Walking the extremely fine line between funny/cruel/inappropriate/
uncomfortable/great/terrible Host: Ricky Gervais, for offending almost everyone in attendance, simultaneously making us viewers feel awkward and awesome while watching actors squirm.
- Most Blatant Sexual Come-on Joke: Robert Downey Jr. for stating that he'd like to sleep with every actress nominated in the musical or comedy category including Emma Stone who's nominated for playing a high school student.
- Biggest "Celebs, they're just like us" Moment: Angelina Jolie reapplying lip gloss. All this time I thought those perfectly pouty lips were automatically replenished with color splendor from within.
- OMG WTF Are You Wearing But It Totally Doesn't Matter Cause You're Still Awesome Award: Helena Bonham Carter, because seriously, who would expect anything different?
- Most Deserved Standing Ovation: Michael Douglass for being alive and beloved by all, even if he did make Wall Street Money Never Sleeps. We all make mistakes.
- Nip-slip 2011: Jane Fonda showing more skin than intended. Older women exposing their breasts is not a good look.
And there you have it folks!
