Golden Glob...zzz.....zzzz....zzzzz

I've waited to write about the Globes because I honestly didn't really know what to think about them this year. Firstly, I was incredibly bored. If they were going to reel in Ricky Gervais that much, they might as well have gotten a different host to make more people angry and thoroughly entertain us, the American public. DANCE MONKEYS DANCE. The most entertaining part of my night was seeing all of the hilarious tweets pop up on my Twitter feed. Shout out to a family friend Kerry for an incredibly laugh out loud series of tweets and text messages (little people jokes not excluded).

Secondly, no sweeps to keep me watching (3 wins for The Artists doesn't quantify as a sweep in my mind) and a lot of super safe bets as winners. I mean, come on, George Clooney? Though I haven't seen The Descendents yet, the buzz at Telluride was very mixed and the reviews are saying the same therefore I also don't understand the Best Drama win. I was also very confused about My Week With Marilyn being classified under the Comedy or Musical category. Seth Rogan even scoffed when announcing Michelle Williams' nomination for in "that hysterical comedy" My Week With Marilyn. As much as I love Marty Scorcese, I don't really think that Hugo should be considered the the Best Director winner either. Michel Hazanavicius or Woody Allen I would closer presume to be contenders in the Oscar race but we shall see in a little over a week.

Now, a small moment to divulge into the fashion. My favorites of the night would have to be Claire Danes, Emma Stone (not so secret girl crushes, thanks to Homeland and Easy A) and Helen Mirren (how I hope to look when I'm her age).

 
Fashion train wrecks? Madonna (ask Helen Mirren for some advice), Jessica Biel (looked like she was wearing my grandma's doily) and Amanda Peet (same as Jessica Biel). I am not even going to disgrace this post by posting the pictures. Check it out if you want to make yourself feel better about yourself.

Nine more days until the nominations! Gotta sign off now. Revenge is about to take over my attention span.
