my opinion matters

Right now, I’m at 16/17 with my predictions – see the below posts for more info. UGH The Hangover won best comedy just now. 16/18. I mean, I kind of knew that It’s Complicated wasn’t going to win, but a girl can wish. Surprisingly, I think the funniest presenter was Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he was absolutely hysterical – and burned Jay Leno pretty hard, too. Sandra Bullock won for The Blind Side, which was one of my favorite performances this year, and her acceptance speech was like her dress – pretty lame. 17/19. I picked Robert Downey Jr. for Sherlock Holmes because I like him – not very scientific on my part, but I didn’t get to see the nominated movies except (500) Days of Summer which was terrible. Best speech of the night goes to Robert Downey Jr., because he is hysterical and amazing and I love him forever. 18/20. Jeff Bridges was my guess for Best Actor, and he won. 19/21. I really enjoyed Tobey Maguire’s performance in Brothers, but Jeff Bridges was going to win and everyone

For the first part of the awards, see the post below. I have now successfully predicted 8/9 awards. But, alas, thems the breaks. I gave up on Michael C. Hall and I shouldn’t have. I chose not to predict any of the mini series because I didn’t see any of them. And ugh, Drew Barrymore’s speech was tweeky and pathetic and lame. Up In The Air got Best Screenplay, and the guy who accepted it looked like Andrew W.K. Weird. 9/10. And Alec Baldwin, again, won for 30 Rock. Even though I’ve only seen one episode of the show, it’s so easy to predict his win. 10/11. Best Foreign Language Film was The White Ribbon from Germany, which I seriously predicted at the last minute, so I’m going to count it as 11/12. It’s usually Germany or France, to be honest with you. His acceptance speech was nice because sometimes when someone speaks very little English, it’s often really nice things. The music came on way to quickly yet again. Mad Men won again for Best Drama, which was predictable, and brings me to

Hooray for the Golden Globes!! Ricky Gervais is hilarious as usual, and even made a Jay Leno joke – which is always funny because everyone apparently loves Conan – which is true. Okay, the first award is to Mo’Nique, which I successfully predicted – I also picked Toni Collette for The United States of Tara, which is impressive because I don’t watch any of the nominated shows. Lol. I feel dumb though because Toni Collette is British and I totally missed that. So far, 2/2. I think I should get credit for picked John Lithgow as Best Supporting Actor, even though I always will pick Michael Emerson. Poor LOST, I swear it won’t ever win anything again and that is sad. Coraline was so amazingly great, but again, as I predicted, Up was the winner. 4/4. So far, the acceptance speeches have been lame. What I hate is Mo’Nique got like 10 minutes for her acceptance speech, but the guy who accepted the award for Up only like like 20 seconds. Of course, he isn’t famous, but still. Funniest line so f
