And the Golden Globe Goes To...

OK...after a day of football games to determine who is going for divisional championships and ultimately the Super Bowl (J-E-T-S!!!), I spent the most of the evening driving my husband crazy toggling between the Golden Globes and movies and/or House Hunters.  I say "most" because he could not keep up and left to watch "Top Gear" which I totally forgot was on 'cause I like that show a lot.  With not having to get up early for work, I get to stay up on a school night to watch shows like the Golden Globes (although this year's fell on the MLK weekend, so I wouldn't have had to get up early anyway...what a waste, right?).

Anyway, I have not seen any of the movies except for Toy Story 3, and I need to say, I did not tear up as everyone else has said they did during it...at all.  So, I totally watch award shows for the fashions and to see who wins for movies and/or shows that I've never watched.  Yes, I am that shallow when it comes to this type of entertainment...so sue me.  We have one of the HDTVs, and let me tell you that you get up close and personal with a lot of people's pores...not always a good thing to do.  I never ever want that much scrutiny...no wonder the news anchors panicked when everything was going to high definition...yikes!

I was glad to see Natalie Portman and Colin Firth win their awards; not so taken with Paul Giametti...have not been "into" him since Sideways anyway.  I wonder what the Hollywood Foreign Press uses as their criteria to choose the winners...apparently not what I use since I don't usually see any of the movies prior to the awards ceremony, and they do not even consult with me...bastards.  Oh, and they have to lose Ricky Gervais as the host...totally mean-spirited and not funny. 

When you see some of the outfits these high-paid people wear, you just have to wonder..."Do you even look at yourself in the mirror?"  Or, what about their stylists...is there some passive-aggressive stuff going on?  But in the end, it's fluff and stuff stuff, and I'm totally over it this morning. 

On to the Oscars.
