the Golden Globes

my dear friend noel author of the absolutely hilarious blog passion tea lemonade, has inspired me to comment on the recent 'Golden Globe' awards.

hosting the show was the genius creator of 'the office', Ricky Gervais. it was his second year to host the globes and he did a great job...although the dozens of people he openly criticized and made fun of probably do not agree with me...i, however, enjoyed his gut wrenching, jaw dropping honesty...while it crossed the line, actually it jumped about 10 feet passed the line, it was a refreshing commentary on the stars of Hollywood and how many of them live their lives...

and while the shocked looks on the faces of the audience made me a little apprehensive in my outward joy of Ricky's job as host, his comment, 'oh come on you knew what you were getting yourself into (loosely quoted)'i heartily agreed and felt comfortable to express my joy at his joking. the globes higher ups knew what Ricky was capable of and they endorsed his hosting abilities so i will endorse them as well!

well enough about Ricky. he was really only on air for a total of 7 minutes the entire show...

Natalie Portman got some flack for her 'nasty' acceptance speech...while it was a bit weird that she thanked her fiance for impregnating her so she could continue the life line of her family, she did not confess that she had magical sexual powers that when used would ensure the success of an actress' career...*cough* Robert Downey Jr....

there were several shots of Brad and Angie throughout the night. awwww. don't care.

I'm over Brad and Angelina. they're in love. they have a dozen kids. they travel the world. good for them. i don't want to see them every other shot: Angie putting on lip gloss. Angie adjusting brad's tie. Brad and Angie cuddling. i want to watch the golden globes not the Bradgelina Entertainment Hour.

Steve Carrell is the bomb. {how will 'the office' go on!?} and Tina fey is my idol. enough said.

just a few more thoughts and I'm done with my rant and rave...

why in the heck was the 'star' of 'easy A' nominated for a golden golbe for acting...i do not understand. now i have not seen the movie, however i think it is safe to say that 'easy A' will not go down in history as a great commentary on our society or will it be said that it was a wonderful contribution to the world of film.

i know that 'the social network' was the major 'winner' of the night: it received the GG for the director, original score, and best picture...i haven't see it...but i have seen 'Inception' and i feel like 'Inception' GOT THE SHAFT!

did the the Hollywood Foreign Film Association even see 'Inception?' i don't think they did...

If you agree, disagree, or would simply like to add your own comments about the Golden Globes PLEASE don't hesitate to continue this lovely 'speech' my friend noel started.
