For some reason this post called for headings with exclamation points. I don't know. It just did.
RL!
Had a relaxed weekend. Our Kiwi Contingent met on Saturday at a pub in Hammersmith. We arrived at 2pm, we left at 10pm. So yeah, it was a nice time. Half-watched us win over West Ham. There are worse things. Today I went to the Science Museum, which was pretty cool and uploaded some Flickr photos. I have now finished Edinburgh! I trip I took in September (despite what the dates on the photos say). *sigh* Still a way to go. Looking through them has made me really keen to go traveling again. Must sort out Paris.
Today was fine, but tiring because I decided I'd stay up to watch this.
Award Shows that are inexplicably entertaining to me!
Endearing Red Carpet interviews:
Claire Danes, Olivia Wilde, Kaley Cuoco (lol drunk and cute)
Elisabeth Moss: all smiley. So cute.
The Show!
Actually liked most of Ricky's opening but the Hugh Hefner thing was maybe a step too far. Did not need to imagine that at all. Gutsy as hell though. Dude. I hope you left LA fast after the show.
Oh Andrew, congratulating Christian. <3
LLCoolJ - really? *sigh*
Would have preferred Juliana or Elisabeth over Katey Segal. Still, Leela's voice. Imagining her doing it. ;)
Wait, The Pacific lost? Ouch.
That Garret dude sounds like Brad Pitt.
Chris Colfer! That is one Glee win I will applaud. <3 Oh, you gorgeous boy. Lovely speech.
Wow, Kevin Bacon, say it like you mean it.
Hugh Laurie has just done this so many times. He turns up, is gracious but also a little over it. Also see: Johnny Depp.
Steve Buscemi seems like he does a good job, but I still have not gotten through the Boardwalk Empire pilot.
Jesus, they're running through these. *sigh* The Globes. Mad Men. Damnit, I know they've won a lot but, Mad. Men!
Andrew Garfield ... oh he stumbled. So cute. You did well, sweetheart. <3
Alec Baldwin, Jennifer Lopez - that was painful banter.
Liveblog comment on Best Song: "I think this category should have gone to the BRAAAAAHM sound from Inception." - Yes.
TSN score - sure. I liked it. Preferred Inception, but hey. Hee Trent Reznor. He might even get an Oscar. ;) Well, I guess since Three Six Mafia have one now.
Oh poor Hailee. I saw my first Bieber interview tonight too. A milestone I never wanted to pass, cheers NBC.
Need to see Despicable Me. And good, TS3 deserved that. Hell, they deserve a best picture nomination.
We needed a shot of alll the British actors then apparently. This is no bad thing.
Oh Jesse, it's sort of adorable how neurotic you are.
RDJ <3 <3
Yay Annette Benning. She's pretty awesome.
Al Pacino's speech is going to be insane. I am already sort of dreading/looking forward to it.
... over Ricky Gervais now.
Al Pacino is the Keith Richards of acting. Also, they will *not* play him off.
So Zac Efron intro-ed 'The Kids Are All Right' because ... he's a kid? I have nothing against the guy, but do not get the big deal either.
Steve Carell and Tina Fey = win. Loved the interplay with Ricky.
Oh Andrew you look no unsure. <3
Oh god so Aussie Chris Hemsworth - and sounding a little like Heath Ledger.
Jane Lynch, again not a huge fan of your show, but your speech was awesome.
Chris Noth nodding when Ricky attacked the Sex and City airbrushed poster - hilarious.
Which was more painful, Alec Baldwin and JLo or January Jones and Jimmy Fallon? So awful.
Excellent annoucement pairing - Matt Bomer and Kaley Cuoco -prettiness.So happy Kaley got to present to Jim. She was so excited. Awww. Happy to see Jim win. I'm getting a little over TBBT but he's still good.
Just realising this award ceremony is NPH free. Don't think that's acceptable.
Jeremy Irons <3
Matt Damon - awesome. Robert DeNiro - oddly cute.
JGL <3
Oh god I am over that Journey cover in such a big way. Glee. *shakes fist*
Oh god they're a Glee army.
Paul Giamatti! Yes. I mean, I haven't seen the movie, and I like Johnny, but no. Not this year. Awesome speech too.
... getting sleeeeepy.
Natalie was a little annoying, but Colin Firth was full of win.
TSN. Of course. They deserve it. So cute that Andrew and Jesse had to be called up there. <3 ... I'm a fan, okay?
Fashion:
Yes: RDJ, Olivia Wilde. Mila Kunis. Claire Danes.
No: January Jones, Julianne Moore. Oh, Michelle Williams. Alicia Keyes. Sandra Bullock (the hair)
Not sure: Lea Michele, Christina Hendricks, Anne Hathaway.
Josh! (mostly)
Amusingly, two of my more longstanding celebrity crushes now have pregnant girlfriends (Matt Bellamy, David Tennant, and congratulations to them both and their respective partners) and I was thinking idly the other day "... Diane? Something you'd like to say? ;)" But instead there are photos around of her and Josh subtly wearing rings on their ring fingers, so um maybe something else went on over the holidays?! I mean, not really fussed if they're married or not (I mean, their choice and they're adorable and wonderful either way) but still, I can't help but grin ridiculously about it. Also, if they managed to do that under the radar? That's fucking awesome. But I still want details! Conflicted.
... somehow this has become my life. I don't even know. But, Internet? They do not need a portmanteau name. Do. Not. Need. It. Okay? Okay.
And talking of Tennant, I now have tickets to Much Ado! Looking forward to it. :D
Fringe!
Someone found one of the Violet Sedan Chair LPs and uploaded the music here! God, I love this show that they do random stuff like this. "She's Doing Fine" is totally about Olivia. All the songs there are actually catchy and pretty awesome, quite apart from the fact they might have possible Fringe easter eggs.
Friday!
