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!

- Yay for Kate’s double win, gushing over how in love with Leo she was then thanking her husband for making them work hard to the point it was torture or something was funny.

- Anna Paquin’s win – woot! – they’ll be talking about that for ages in NZ

- Tina Fey “suck it” – funniest thing said of the night, way funnier than all the presenters who kept talking about wanting to be cast in anything.

- VCB – Trent, waste of time. Seriously. well, it was woody quirky, and great acting in all – very sexy, BUT their was this annoying commentary going on by some guy with a strange voice who was really just stating the obvious – would’ve been better without it, plus when there wasn’t some pretty spanish guitar music, there was just ONE song (the same part of the song even) that got repeated over and OVER it drove me mad, it’ll be the shortest soundtrack ever i imagine. Wait for dvd.

-Yay for Slumdog Millionaire! It’s a rare film that actually lives up to its hype. Yay for 3-dimensional stories about people of color! Freida Pinto was the most beautiful one there.
-Loved Tracy Morgan’s speech: I’m the face of post-racial America! Deal with it, Cate Blanchett!
-People have been giving JLo shit about her dress, but even though it’s not my style I think it’s great that a woman approaching forty and has given birth to twins, is rocking a dress that celebrates her curves.
-Loved Ricky Gervais: Told you Kate to do a Holocaust movie! The awards start rolling in!
-I used to like Angelina Jolie but ever since she got with Brad Pitt and has been getting a new child every other year, she irks me to death. She seems like such a stuck up bitch now.

“The other one…” LOL

I lol’d at Kate’s “who’s the other one?” moment. The look on Angelina’s face was priceless. If she could cast a bad magic spell, she would have. And BTW is it just me or does anyone else agree that she looked like she really didn’t care how she looked? She looked like the Little Missus had to throw on a ballgown and wasn’t happy with the idea. This is not the first time I’ve thought this about her.
I would loved to have seen Meryl take home a trophy….she is the Queen…but am happy Kate got a double whammy.
I really want to see Revolutionary Road…love Kate and Leo, but don’t want to see VCB…never have been a Woody Allen fan, nor do I like Penelope Cruz.

@Melissa – yes, that part was unclear … I have no interest in seeing RR but really want to see VCB ;)

Hey trent….. Winslet was in Revolutionary Road, not Vicky, unless you were just stating that you wanted to see Vicky… mayhaps I was reading it wrong!

The Wrestler was amazing. you’ll love it!

Trent I have to ask, Will you be recapping and reviewing episodes of 24 this season?

You probably didn’t see the premiere yesterday (since you’ve already seen the first 4 episodes and since I’m assuming you were watching the golden globes last night), but I do hope you will be recapping the episodes. I’ve always enjoyed your recaps as they are really fun and interesting! Thank you!

Gotcha Trent, yes you’re right as always: the NBC format was all wrong.

I thought I read somewhere that Sigourney Weaver won both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in the same year. I might be wrong, but someone should double check.

The other one(teehee)! Surprisingly, I mself find her quite forgetable as well. Pity, I thought way back when I saw “Gia” that she would really be someone worth watching, To bad that most of her movies are great because of effects and not her.

I saw “The Wrestler” last night, before I knew the outcome of the Golden Globes, and the first thing I said to my husband when I got home was what a pity it was Mickey Rourke was up against Sean Penn in “Milk” this year because in any other year he would be winning every acting award out there… and then I went online and discovered he won the Golden Globe! He deserved it so much (I say this as a huge fan of Sean Penn’s performance in “Milk” as well). It was that good. I mean, revelatory. Go see it as soon as you can, Trent! I have never had any opinion of Mickey Rourke before but I was just blown away at how he just disappeared into the character. It was just a beautiful, poignant, nuanced performance. I hope he wins the Oscar as well. Between that win, Heath’s win, and Kate’s wins, I think it was one of the more satisfying awards show outcomes in a long time.
