ITA with the NBC coverage it was horrid. I couldn’t watch I watched E!’s coverage which was a thousand times better. Ryan Sacrest was engaging and actually does good interviews…Who’d have thought it? The show was ok, I was really kinda bored because I guessed 95% of the awardees correctly. BOORING! Loved that Kate Winslet won Best Actress in a drama because I was certain Anne HAthaway was gonna get it but she didin’t *surprise*. Loved Colin Farrel’s speech. Literally LOLed for Ricky Gervais and Sasha Baron Cohen. Hated Cameron Diaz’s dress.

It was alright. As the Globes go this one seemed a little slower than other years and yet on the flipside the actors and actresses and such seemed to get themselves a bit more tipsy this year! I am SOO NOT an Angelina fan and still think Brad is a tool for choosing her over Jenny, so I thought it was freaking hysterical when Kate Winslet forgot her name. You gotta love the Brits man, they bring on the funny! Ricky Gervais is also a great example of that statement! Tina Fey was my favorite though of the night, seriously that woman is probably the MOST BRILLIANT comedienne at least of our time. I was completely NOT amused by Sasha Baron Cohen’s comments and clearly most of the audience wasn’t either. That man or whoever told him what he was going to say should be smacked. I hope Isla was up at the bar so she couldn’t be there in the audience to actually witness that! Does anyone else agree about his comments?

I’m so glad Colin won for In Bruge! And I’m glad Heath won the golden globe too. : )

Glad Kate won two awards… she really deserves those although she deserves 2 Oscars much more!!! I really hope she goes on to win an Oscar and hopefully 2.

Glad Heath won as well.. put it this way – it may seem they are sympathy awards, heck they probably are. I would vote for him too. But his role of the Joker drew great interest from the media before he passed. And i don’t think he would have been nominated if it wasn’t worthy, it was worthy. Whether he deserves it compared to other nominees is in the opinion of everyone else. But i believe he deserved it for his role, his life and because he has deserved one in a loooong time.

ALSO, Trent you say you’re glad Smaller, unknown movies won a lot of awards, yet you were disappointed that Brangelina didn’t win any awards. That almost sounds like you are contradicting yourself. Benjamin Button stars two Hollywood A-List actors on a large budget & the Changeling also had a larger budget than other nominated films, although neither have great box office grosses. IMO Brad & Angelina are overrated and i believe just get nominated for exposure to these award shows.

I just saw the Wrestler tonight. I can not believe how good Mickey is in it! He BECOMES his character in that movie. I have all of my fingers crossed for him to win the oscar. I was suprised how happy the crowd was for him last night when they said his name!!

As for the pre-show interviews – They need to change around the format and go straight into the show (after red- carpet pics), then do interviews afterwards – when people are relaxed and a bit drunk. They will then get the ratings they desire.

I loved Drew’s dress and hair – I think she knew what she was doing and what people would say – but decided to have some fun anyway! I love her!

Happiest moments of the night for me were the 2 trips to the mic Kate Winslet made. She REALLY didn’t think she would win. I adore Kate. She was due, and I love it if she was nominated for and won both supporting and lead actress awards at the Oscars. She was absolutely humble, which was really cool. (BTW, I don’t think she was referring to Angelina as the “other one” in her speech, because she mentioned her…I contend that it was Anne Hathaway, who she never mentioned.) I can’t wait to watch both of the movies–The Reader and Revolutionary Road–this weekend.
I can’t wait till Leonardo wins his big awards. That guy is just so amazing…
The next best thing was Tracy Morgan!! Holy hell, that guy’s speech was FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Loved it, loved it..
Colin Farrell was truly surprised, and I was sooooooo happy to see him win. He gave such a great well rounded performance in In Bruges, so I was very happy for him.
I loved Drew Barrymore’s dress. What the hell was she thinking with that stupid hair, though???!!!!
Didn’t like JLo tonight. She annoyed me! Marc looked really good in his tux with his glasses.
Zac Efron was uber cute! He is a human Ken, ¿no?
Tsk, tsk, Trent–Angelina and Brad are at least nominated! That’s a good thing. Look at the competition! How people can call Angelina unforgettable is just their believing tabloid reports moreso than anything. If you look at her work–and only her work–it speaks for itself. I get it, though, because during the Billy Bob years, I couldn’t stand the sight of her/them, but I still loved her films.
As for Heath, my goodness, his turn as the Joker totally deserves the accolades, but like Maggie Gyllenhaal said in her E! interview with Ryan Seacrest, “I want him to win, but if he doesn’t, that’s okay too.” After hearing your review, I’m really super glad I stuck with E!
