Golden Globes

Last night I watched the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards. This award show celebrates television and movies, so it is jam packed with celebrities.

Here are some of the night's winners (I don’t have a complete list... Who do I look like, Mario Lopez? And please don’t compare my abs with his…).
Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture – Kate Winslet, The Reader
I didn’t see The Reader but love her.
Best Original Song in a Motion Picture Bruce Springsteen “The Wrestler”
I’m not a Springsteen fan (GASP!), but out of the clips I heard, I did like this song the best of the five nominated.
Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical – Vicky Christy Barcelona
Haven’t seen any of the nominated movies, I need to get out more!
Best Actor TV Series Drama - Gabriel Byrne “In Treatment”
Michael C. Hall of "Dexter" was one of the actors nominated, I want to get that DVD series set to watch someday...
Best Actress TV Series Drama – Anna Paquin “True Blood”
Yay! I so wanted Sookie to win!
Best Animated Feature Film – Wall-E That movie deserved it!

Best Actor in TV Series Musical or Comedy - Alec Baldwin ”30 Rock” Funny show!

Best Actress TV Series Musical or Comedy – Tina Fey “30 Rock” Sweet! She looked awesome in her dress, too. Funny speech.
Best Actor Motion Picture Musical or Comedy - Colin Farrell In Bruges
Best Actress Motion Picture Drama – a teary eyed Kate Winslet Revolutionary Road
I have to go see that! She had two wins tonight!
Best TV Series Drama – Mad Men (wanted “True Blood” to win…)
Best Actor Motion Picture Drama – Mickey Rourke The Wrestler (Wow!)
Best Motion Picture Drama – Slum Dog Millionaire

The ladies looked lovely tonight. I love seeing all the beautiful dresses and jewelry. (I’ll know just what style to wear at the next ball I attend :0)
Best Dressed – Demi Moore, Beyonce, Evan Rachel Wood, Christina Applegate
Best Accessory - Loved Eva Mendes’ turquoise necklace.
The men looked dapper as well. My pick for best dressed is Kevin Connolly of “Entourage.”


RANDOM THOUGHTS WHILE WATCHING THE GLOBES
That’s Sting? He looks quite different as a brunette with a beard.
How in the world is Eva Longoria walking in that tight dress?
Whoa, haven’t seen Mickey Rourke in a while.
Squeal! Johnny Depp!
Why isn’t Tom Cruise jumping up and down on his chair?
My mom is just like Demi Moore. She doesn’t look her age, and she reminds her daughter not to slouch!
I think Colin Farell just winked at me.
Awww, Kate is making Leo cry.
I’m so glad I can fast forward through this-it’s three freaking hours!
Eh, this award show was not as funny or spontaneous as in past years…
