The stars shine at a soggy Golden Globes

Sandra Bullock is finally getting recognition! She was amazing in The Blind Side and being a fan of hers since the early 90's...It's just good to see a good person, who seems so down to earth and such a loving person, finally get her time in the light. PS, she was absolutely gorgeous last night and looks GOOD in purple.

Sad The Office and Steve Carell didn't win :( but happy to see Glee win...And Ricky Gervais was hilarious! 

Gervais was horrible and Jane was everywhere this year, so duh!  Julianna Margulies totally deserved her award - I loved the Clooney-smooch.  And props to James Cameron for recognizing the genius of his ex-wife.  I hope she beats him for the Oscar, but with 10 fricking films in the running (TEN!), anything could happen.  (I sincerely hope this year will be the end of that little experiment.)  Sigourney looking gorgeous and statueque, caring not if she sucked on SNL as her film smashes records. 

Why are all the other categories divided into comedy/musical and drama in series or mini-series etc, but the supporting actors and actresses have to fight it out under one category?  Unfair! 

Amanda Palmer was anything but subdued or classy last night at the Globes.

  Speaking of Jane, the out actress looked lovely in a flowing green gown with pockets — she’s still a lesbian, mind you.

I love Jane for looking gorgeous and still representing the kids

And finally, a big thank you to Halle Berry and Mariah Carey for reminding us why the show is called the Golden Globes in the first place.

Yes, Vielen Dank.

I'm so glad Glee won! I love the Lynch. Sandra Bullock looked amazing and Christina Hendricks? WOW.

Go here for my view on all things lesbian: http://allthingslesbeau.blogspot.com

I thought overall it was a good show.  But a few things; it's odd to see "Artie" from Glee upright & walking & why is Cher's hand blue in that pic.  How hard was X-Tina squeezig?

 

YES! I was upset that Sandra Bullock and The Hangover won. Didn't think either deserved it. I was so happy for Drew, Meryl, and Mo'nique. She gave the best acceptance speech of the night.

lol, at the Golden Globes joke.

I am SO bummed that Jane Lynch didn't win the GG!! But goodness, did she look stunning. And yeah, I suppose that's the new girlfriend. All hope is lost ... You know, I think this calls for a little Christina Rossetti, don't you? :

Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope, love of finished years.

Right, I think that's about melodramatic enough ... I'm feeling strangely better now ;)))

 

So pleased that Glee won...but Jane Lynch should have won in her own right too, she makes the show what it is! (and I have a huge crush on her...lol) She looked stunning too.

Disappointed that Emily Blunt didn't win too...

I don't get all the fuss about Avatar.

And Ricky Gervais was apparently just himself...hey, don't book him if you don't like it! (I'm not a fan myself, but it always amuses me when Hollywood types are the butt of jokes, lol)

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to notice the kiss!! When it happened i was like 'Did Jane Lynch just kiss her gf at the Golden Globes?!!!!! niiiiiice!'

I must know, if someone can tell me, what is with the James Cameron worship? I'm a writer and I remember when "Titanic" came out, I'd heard about the bad writing. I saw it and by the time Jack turned into the blueberry popsickle, it was the feel good comedy, in a straight jacket sort of way, of the year for me. Jeez, it was bad, but let's face it, the reason for its big box office was the squeeing girls wanting to see Leonardo. Is James Cameron like the Godfather? Is he giving people an offer they can't refuse so they'll vote for him? I don't know....

Aside from having to look at James Cameron (I was rooting for Kathryn Bigelow to win best director, because it's about time a woman won best director, or Quentin Tarantino) and Jane Lynch getting robbed, it was a good show. I thought, as host, there would be more Ricky Gervais. It seems like NBC had second thoughts about him as host, but it had already been announced, so they were stuck and just cut down how much "hosting" he would do.

As far as the Academy Awards go, since that will now be the conversation, personally, I like the Oscars decision to go back to the way it was originally with 10 Best Picture nominees. Comedies don't typically get much as far as awards, forgive the bad choice of words, but people don't tend to take comedies seriously as "real" film. Tom Hanks is one of our greatest present-day actors, but he didn't really get any recognition as a real actor until "Philadelphia" because he was a comedy actor. Comedy requires just as much skill as drama, just different skills. Opening up the field to more films means more opportunity for diversity, like comedy, in the nominations. I also liked last year when they had past winners introduce each nominee in the acting categories. Maybe it took more time, but it respected the award's history and some were actors who had retired and it was good to see true legends again.

Oh, and before I forget, speaking of a legend, I bow to the majesty that is Sophia Loren. When she walked out on that stage, she walked with an air of "I Have Arrived." I Adore Her.

IS it just me or does olivia wilde make you tingle !! <3 she is so beautiful !!

xx

I liked the show as a whole (though I have to admit that I almost forgot to watch it. if it hadn't been for twitter...).

I'm really happy for Meryl and Drew. God, they totally deserved the award! Lovely ladies, great actors!

I was expecting Jane Lynch to win, I had my fingers crossed all the time! lol It was unfair...but still, Jane represented the kids (as it's been said already. haha)

 That's all right.  I prefer that she come without it.  ;-)

i tried watching Jane Lynch's interview with Ryan Seacrest and youtube said it was taken down :(

avatar winning best pic in the company of fellow nominies made me throw the remote at my television. dear james cameron, get over yourself. a film should be about the strength of the actors not the pretty colors/editing prowess. ::continued grumbling::

I'm amused that Jane's touching Lea Michele in that picture.  

Give her the gay, Jane.  GIVE HER THE GAY!!

I've always loved awards shows like the Oscars and Golden Globes; a lot of gorgeous women dressed to the hilt, and talented too - some of my favourites won and made entertaining speeches at the Globes this year.  But I'm writing in response to the criticisms of James Cameron's Avatar. 

I agree, Cameron's strong suit is not dialogue.  And the storyline in Avatar could be described as simplistic or unoriginal. But what if it's a timeless message we humans still need to hear, an unlearned lesson - that we are all connected, to each other and to nature, and that we should respect others and live in harmony.  Rather than kill them and rape their land.

What I see is this : Avatar retells a timeless story of good vs evil, with an emotionally involving story.  Cameron has created a fantasy world in Pandora that is beautiful, stunningly imagined and realised - and wrapped it up in an anti-war film that delivers exciting action without gratuitous violence.  He's used cutting edge technology to seamlessly merge human performances with cgi.  And he's delivered it all in 3D.  It's so well done you don't just watch this movie, you feel like you're actually in it.  I was blown away by the visceral experience.  If you ask me, it's a fantastic achievement.  I love this film!  

 

 

Umm Aniston...wow! I never thought Aniston was hot but damn when she came out with that slit on her dress.

Im gonna sound like a huge perve when I say that when the cast of Mad Men came up stage, my eyes immediately went to Christina Hendricks and her...umm...golden globes win.
