The Golden Globes: Part One

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 far? “One thing that can’t be bought is a Golden Globe… Officially.” Ricky Gervais is hysterical. The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press seriously looked like he was about to keel over – I think he also looked a lot like Art Garfunkel. Anyone?

I am SUPER EXCITED that Michael C. Hall won Best Actor – Drama for Dexter!!!! It wasn’t what I expected, but it’s fantastic because he is so amazing in that show. Apparently he also has Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which is really sad. But hooray for him because he has deserved it for awhile.

Julianna Marguiles also won for The Good Wife, which is impressive. She definitely had the odds against her, but she was on ER, and they all seem to do well after leaving. 5/6.

I randomly picked the song from Crazy Heart – which seemed like a gimme because that movie is all about music. So… 6/7. For best original score, I picked Up because it’s the same guy who did the music for LOST, and he WON! Huzzah! 7/8! On an unrelated note, my roommate just said, “I wish John Lennon had lived and Paul McCartney was the one who died.” Hilarious!

Grey Gardens won for best mini-series, which was well deserved for sure. I did not make predictions on the mini-series because I saw none of them. Acceptance speech was, again, horrible. There’s nothing like someone reading a paragraph off of a paper. Lame. They should’ve let one of the actresses talk, for real. They do it for a living. MERYL STREEP FOR THE WIN!!!!! I love her love her love her. I am so excited that she won because she is never disappointing, even with her acceptance speech, which was the best one so far tonight, even though she was a little loopy. Lay off the sauce, Meryl. 8/9. I am now opening a new post.
