For what it's worth, here are my notes on the Golden Globes...
- Did you notice that J Lo wasn't wearing her wedding ring??? Amid rumors of a potential divorce announcement on the horizon, J Lo started the show, flashing around an obviously bare left hand ring finger, but later was spotted canoodling with husband Marc Anthony. My interest is piqued.
- Miley Cyrus, seriously, if you want to play with the big dogs, you have to act like one. This includes keeping your tongue in your mouth when the camera passes you rather than looking directly into it and sticking your tongue out like a 10 year-old. As if once wasn't enough (at the beginning of the show), you did it twice (again over the credits at the end of the show). I hope you have a good manager and publicist that will explain to you all that is wrong with that.
- Zac Efron, I am guessing that per Hollywood standards, you are not a good candidate for facial hair. Think about it.
- Emma Thompson, it is important for you to know that I adore and honor you.
- I thought it was really funny when Colin Farrel sniffled and then made a joke that he had a cold and not "what it used to be" (referring to his former cocaine habit which he is in recovery from), but did not think it was funny when Seth Rogan made a comment about snorting coke with Mickey Rourke. Here's the deal, nobody beats up my brother but me.
- On the topic of Mr. Rourke, I was totally pulling for a win. Was so happy he got one! I love a good comeback, and this was well deserved.
- Another highlight of the evening was Tracy Morgan's speech which Tina Fey allowed for 30 Rock's win of Best TV Comedy. I think he is a brilliant comic, but more importantly, that is a brilliant cast. I highly recommend this show!
- Thank you for bringing your beer on stage Ricky Gervais, and then, for proceeding to be hysterical.
- I think the censors are going to need to think about the 8 second pixelating delay. They managed to bleep out the f-word, but couldn't quite distort the picture quickly enough to miss Darron Aronofsky giving Mickey Rourke the finger.
- Slumdog Millionaire was the big winner! I think I'm going to have to see that one. Who wants to babysit for me???
I also want to note that as far as red carpet coverage is concerned, I am done with E! There is too too too much awkward conversation and "yucking it up" between the interviewers. Now, I can't imagine how hard their job must be, but come on, I'd like to be just a little entertained.
What did you think???
