But it is always fun to play the best and worst of game so here are my picks.
Best dressed. Let's get this out of the way. I have to admit that Angelina Jolie looked impeccable in her Atelier Versace dress, she really didn't have a contender yesterday night. She could have told something to Brad though, like "Can you wash your hair before we go, darling?".
I also liked Jessica Alba and Nicole Kidman. Not so much Charlize Theron, I think she is a bit too old to wear a tiara.
Most good-looking lady. Diane Lane deserves a category of her own because not only she was one the best dressed, but she was the most beautiful woman in the theather. An example of how a women can look even better with age:
Best Lady In Black. There were quite a few ladies in black yesterday night and my favorite was Rooney Mara in her Nina Ricci dress:
I personally think that Mila Kunis didn't look that good in black, probably because of her carnation. Plus, the dress was too similar to the one that she wore last year. Special mention also to Debra Messing (can't wait to see her in the new show "Smash").
Worst dressed. Can somebody send Meryl Streep to Rachel Zoe, please? And Tina Fey is the only one who can look bad in Oscar de la Renta, but I am forgiving he because of her brain.
Best Presenter couple. How smashing did Rob Lowe and Julianne Moore look? I also liked their reaction to the teleprompter glitch. OK, if anybody knows what anti-wrinkle brand Rob is using let me know (I am not interested in the self-tanning lotion)!
Best Presenter couple 2. The real-life couple Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy's duet was probably the show's best moment.
Best Actor during the show. How is it that Robert Downy Jr. is invariably the only one who actually looks like he has memorized his speech and he is actually acting when he is presenting these awards? Please give him a best actor award, it is about time since Chaplin.
Best Joke. Seth Rogers stealed the show with his old-like-the-earth joke on his erection. Thanks to the amused reaction of Kate Beckinsale it worked, even if we heard it a thousand times.
Worst joke. The joke about how "Bridesmaids" has showed the world that even women can poop their pants off was lame to begin with. But it was repeated three times during the evening and it was poor Emily Blunt who delivered its worst variation.
Worst joke 2. George Clooney's joke about Michael Fassbinder nude scenes in the movie "Shame" was OK until he pushed it over the edge with the golf swing remark. I just thought that it didn't sound like Clooney. But now I am really curious about Shame. On a side note MF didn't look at his best yesterday night.
Most missed: Ryan Gosling. With Ryan out of the game, my best-looking guy award goes ex aequo to Ewan McGregor (I know, I am biased because I just watched him in Beginners but his attendance was a pleasant surprise after Ryan's forfeit). The "hottest guy alive", aka Bradley Cooper, just wasn't blond enough.
Most missed 2: OK, so I read that Corey Stoll, the actor who plays Ernst Hemingway in Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" didn't get a seat at the Golden Globes (while in my opinion he deserved a Best Supporting Actor nomination). I understand that they can't invite everybody and have to make decisions but why Kale Richards from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was invited (OK, she was there as a reporter apparently). Or Heidi Klum, for that matter?
What were your best and worst yesterday night? Please share!
I agree that Angelina was hands-down the most glamorous woman there, her outfit was gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou have voiced every observation I myself had, it was pretty boring!
I only watched for a short while, but I agree about Angelina's dress. She showed those critics who have said she only wears black. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree about the best presenter couple though. I thought Clive Owen / Nicole Kidman were the best. Frankly, it didn't really matter who accompanied him, since he is the hottest in my view. (Phew! Is it getting hot in here?) :D
