Globey!
1. Drew Barrymore's hair and makeup made her look a LOT like Angie Dickinson in the '70s. Drew, I love you, but why? Angie was cool... IN THE '70s.
1. jade_okelani will be happy 'cause "30 Rock" won best comedy show. And she loves the Duchovny but thinks Alec Baldwin's brilliant on that show so I don't think she'll be angry at Alec getting that globe.
2. You know Dick Clark is not in the house. Because he'd make those celebs SHUT UP and SIT DOWN just before they come back from commercial. The poor presenters, having to shush the audience!
3. Go you, crazy ForeignPressPeople, giving all the big awards to "Slumdog Millionaire" and giving the globe to Sally Hawkins, from a movie I've never even HEARD of, over Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson, both of whom give great acceptance speech. It's rumored that the Globes to go A) people who they want to see give a speech and B) people who bribe the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. I'm looking at you, Jane Seymour, who gave a luncheon at her house for the HFPA that one year. But I love seeing people like Sally Hawkins, who are just overwhelmed, having their big moment. (And I've never even HEARD of that movie she's in. Must look into it. She's won a LOT of Best Actress awards from the critics.)
3a. ... Because it's cool that movies made outside Hollywood, and not about the USA, can get some recognition. There's a big world out there.
4. Springsteen's pretty tough, but dissing Clint Eastwood? Bruce had better watch his BACK, man. That's a cranky old man you're messing with, Boss!
5. "Samantha Who" is still on? Who knew? (Haha, Christina Applegate's smile was PASTEDE ON YEY! when Tina Fey won.)
6. OMG, Tina Fey. I LOVE HER. I can't believe she let Tracy Morgan do the acceptance speech for "30 Rock." I'm so glad she got to speak when she won. SO SO FUNNY.
7. Kate Winslet's having a good night, eh?
8. emmbright, at least "Mad Men" won for Best TV Drama, though your individual folks went home globeless. (Can you believe that little Anna Pacquin?? In the vampire show??)
9. Really, Neil Patrick Harris as Barney in "How I Met Your Mother" up against Tom Wilkinson as Ben Franklin in "John Adams?" Really? They have to fix that category. They've always had to.
10. Is there anyone in the room who hasn't worked with Spielberg? (Maybe Tracy Morgan.)
11. Fashion!
--Glenn Close: No. That is a bar mitzvah outfit!
--Elizabeth Banks: Would've been good but that emphasizes your biggest bits! Don't you watch "What Not to Wear?"
--(see Drew Barrymore above)
--Maggie Gyllenhaal's dress looked better onstage than in marakara's review.
--Jennifer Lopez: You're a mother now. Yeah, a hot mom, but leave dress is for the slutty kids. Stop with the tacky already. (Not that she didn't look good in the dress. But it'd be hard for her to look BAD in any dress.)
--STUFF on dresses: What's up with the big THINGS? I don't even know how to describe them... bows and weird large pieces everywhere. Not a good trend. Don't let your dress overwhelm you, women.
--The Men: All pretty much look good in a tux. Except Mickey Rourke is just scary in any outfit. Special kudos to David Duchovny, my sekrit X-Files boyfriend from way back, who is looking GOOD. I'm gonna have to borrow "Californication" one of these days.
12. Mickey Rourke's speech was ... kind of awesome! Bruce Springsteen, when you diss Clint Eastwood, this is what happens: Mickey Rourke thanks you AFTER HE THANKS HIS DOGS. Karma! Bwahahahaaaaa.
13. "Slumdog Millionaire" hasn't yet opened in India?!?!?
14. OMG Ricky Gervais. I want to follow him around and take notes. I want to have his babies. I want to feed him grapes. No, wait. I want him to feed ME grapes while blabbing away being funny.
I might come back and edit.
