1. Drew Barrymore, your HAIR! I know that hair-wrangling can be hard, especially when it is windy as it has been here in LA recently. But I think a better way to combat the windy hair mess is a tight updo, not that psychotic bouffant you were sporting.
2. Colin Farrell, what is WRONG with you? The awesome thing about the Golden Globes is that all of the celebs get a little drunk which makes for amusing acceptance moments, but dude could barely get a coherent sentence out. I know he said that his on-stage sniffling was “a cold, not what it was before,” but I’m not sure that can be believed.
3. Alec Baldwin is so funny as Jack Donaghy that I cannot argue with any award going his way, but the X-Phile in me was still pulling for David “the man, the myth, the monotone” Duchovny, even though I am only a sporadic viewer of Californication. He’s had a tough year. Also, he looked fantastic – younger than he has in quite awhile. His little anecdote about his wife while presenting seemed calculated to prove to Hollywood that his marriage is back on track, though.
4. I want to be Kate Winslet when I grow up.
5. Or Tina Fey.
6. Slumdog Millionaire was excellent – inspiring and gritty and really, the most special movie I’ve seen this year. It was fun to see Dev Patel’s and Freida Pinto’s growing excitement as the evening went on. Kudos!
7. Aw, Heath: his win was sobering and bittersweet. I rolled my eyes when Tom Cruise was the first to burst out of his chair in applause with that oh-so-serious look on his face, though, ostensibly to prove what a Good Person he is. Tom, your appearance in Tropic Thunder was mildly amusing, but you still creep everyone out. Don’t push it.
8. Mickey Rourke! Loved his raw performance in The Wrestler. The shallow side of me wonders what it would feel like to have people say things about you like, “Did you see Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler? He was amazing! He looked like shit!”
9. Shallow fashion/style notes – Not a fan of the asymmetrical shoulder thing. Maggie Gyllenhaal, liked that your dress was interesting, but really didn’t love the dress. Zellwegger, you looked horrific. Wow, Seth Rogan lost weight. Miley Cyrus – GO AWAY! Rumer Willis – GO EVEN FARTHER AWAY!
10. All in all, glad to have awards season back in its full glory this year. Watching the Globes was a great capper to a lovely, sunny weekend here in Los Angeles.
