The 2011 Golden Globes: the highlights!

I got all these pictures from Go Fug Yourself, one of my favourite non-horse websites!


Remember how last year Ricky Gervais hosted the show, and cracked all kinds of jokes that made The Famous in the audience extremely uncomfortable?  Well somebody has a bad memory or never learns a lesson, because he was back this year and snarkier than ever!  I laughed.  I admit it.  I cringed at the same time.  He's so greasy, so offensive, and so funny.  He and Russell Brand should be in a movie together.

I wonder if they'll have him back next year...

I love awards shows because of the clothes.

It's funny to look at people stuck in the background.  The Non-famous.  The people wearing passes around their necks.  Who is Sofia Vergara waving at?  Hi!

I love this particular awards show because it's TV and movies, all mixed together.  Most of all, everybody has to wiggle between the tables to get to the stage, and I'm always afraid there will be some kind of tripping and falling accident.  However, I'd love to see how that gets handled.  What happens if a star spills a drink on her dress?  I think of these things.

But nothing bizarre happened.  We didn't even see any truly bizarre clothes.  The anticipation is worth it though.

A whole bunch of TV shows that I have never watched got awards.

Now let's see some clothes!

First, Christina Hendricks, whose show (Mad Men) I've never seen although I hear I should, but I don't think I get that channel, therefore I have no idea if she's a good actor or not, but still I kind of like her. She's different.  She doesn't look all toothpicky. I like her name.  Sometimes she looks just a teensy little bit crazy.

Wow.  An hourglass.  Erupting?  Volcano dress?  What if she wants to look over her left shoulder?  I don't get it.  But it's very RED and I appreciate the boldness it takes to wear red.

Coincidentally, her co-star January Jones also wore red.  I like her name too but more in an oddball kind of way.  I also do not get her dress.  At all.

I don't know man, I just think a couple strips of ribbon can't be called a "dress."  However, I will award her with the official Immature Golden Globes Snickering Boob Joke.

This is how it's done, ladies.  I mean if you've got it.  Which I don't, but she does, and she knows what to do.

Love the hair, love the dress, love the attitude!  Love Sofia Vergara on Modern Family!  Hey!  A TV show I actually watch.

Red, red, red!

And almost red.  Remember "Married With Children?"  You watched it, c'mon and admit it.  Katey "Peg Bundy" Sagal took a trophy looking fan-frickin-tastic.  I like long sleeves.  Everybody else looks freezing cold in comparison, you know?

Cute Moment: when her name was called, the camera cut to Ed "Al Bundy" O'Neil, who grinned and beamed at his former co-star.


This now concludes the red dress collection.

Christian Bale, aka Batman, accepted an award looking like Jesus.  I'm not kidding.  Jesus in a tux.  He's got shoulder length hair and a full gingery beard and moustache.  I like long hair, I like beards (most of the time) and I like Jesus so I was fine with this look.

We rarely get to hear his real accent.  He's Welsh.  He just plays Americans.  Cuz he's an actor.  And he wins awards for it.

Steve Buscemi won an award too.  My kids know him as Norther Winslow from Big Fish.  He slips into the role of Creepy Guy so easily and so brilliantly.  He is actually a nice guy who just plays creepy guys.  See?  ACTING.

Man, I really don't watch much TV.

In a Moment I particularly love, Geoffrey Rush and Tilda Swinton presented an award.

I think he's fantastic - I've seen him in quite a few movies - and although I only know her as the White Witch in that first Narnia movie, I find her fascinating. In a weird kind of way.  She wears strange things, like this outfit, which appears to be a white shirt and pale boring satin skirt, but then looked like the two pieces were sewn together.  She's super tall, extremely white, doesn't wear much make up, and usually slicks back her short hair... she kind of looks like a statue.  She looks like David Bowie.  She looks like an alien.  She is so different.  Dude, she winked at the photographers!

What will she do next????

And speaking of unpredictable: Our boy Johnny Depp sat in the audience, chewing gum nervously and trying not to look like he couldn't wait to bolt.  I feel sorry for the guy.  He loves making movies, but I get a strong feeling he doesn't like this part of his job.

He looked gorgeous though.

I love it how he's wearing a very elegant tux but then Depps it up with the wallet chain and the straggly hair and moustache.  Screwing the rules of formal wear!  yeah!

You know how Johnny was nominated twice in the same category?  He didn't win.  (I suspect he was relieved.)  Paul Giamatti won, and I dig him, in a schlubby kind of way.  (Watch American Splendor.)  Of course I thought it was sweet that he thanked the Great Nation Of Canada.  Give that guy a beer!

Hey- a surprise I can't find a picture of - The Biebs presented and his hair... it was NOT A COMBOVER!  The kid has eyebrows!  There is hope yet people.  There is hope.

The other popular colour was red's opposite: green!  First good example is Catherine Zeta Jones.

So the dress, gorgeous, yeah of course, but even better - her husband is ALIVE!!  Thin, pale, but he's up and at it.  He successfully survived cancer treatment! Yay!  We got a Real Meaningful Moment when he got to the stage to an audience standing and clapping, and Michael Douglas humbly said, "There's gotta be an easier way to get a standing ovation."

More green: Brangie.  Well technically, Angelina, since Brad was wearing a tux and honestly, looking super skeevy.  I'm not kidding.

Sigh.  Every year there has to be a Slicked Back Greasy Dude.  This year, it was Brad. He amped it up by wearing shades as well.  Oh Brad.  Geez.

As much as it's cool to see Angelina wearing something other than black (I think she looks good in black and I get it that it makes getting dressed waaay easier) I gotta say... I don't like this dress.

Sorry Brad I cannot get with the thumbs up on this one.  (Please wash your hair.)

It looks itchy.  You know?  I hate itchy fabric!  It's a nice green, and it's cool that she's wearing long sleeves when so many others are half nekkid.  But, itchy.  That's all I can think about.

Also, and this really bothers me... she has no bum.  How does she sit?  What is it like to go through life with no bum?  She's just too thin.  

They were hilarious during the show.  First she was fixing his bow tie.  Awww.  Then she was leaning on his shoulder.  Mostly she looked very distracted.  After coming back from commercial we caught her fixing her lipstick.  Awkward Moment!  Why did I think that was awesome?  Of course she wears lipstick.  It was just, this final primping and quickly putting it away like we shouldn't see that.  Hee hee!

With all the red and green, only one woman was bold enough to do BOTH.  Helena Bonham Carter.

THE SHOES.  Look at the shoes.  Also the hair, the incredibly busy dress.  Wow.  The shoes.  Pretty much everybody else on the internet says it's all hideous, but you know what?  I love it.  On anybody else it would just be ridiculous, but she has the personality to carry it off.

There were a few pink dresses too.

Let's have a look at winner Claire Danes.  I think she looked great!

I love the colour, and she has the shoulders for it.  

More importantly, she was part of The Best Moment Of The Evening.  Claire's win was for portraying Temple Grandin in a TV movie, and Temple herself was there.  The two shared a big hug before Claire got to the stage.  That's so cool.  Temple was wearing a cowboy shirt, like she always does, and their respect for each other was obvious.  I loved that.

More Pink!

This is kind of over the top.  I'd wear it!  Not with the train though.  I didn't even have that on my wedding dress.  How do these women navigate with dresses like this?

Natalie Portman and her unborn child wore a really pretty pale pink dress with a big red sequinned rose up front.

I like this.  I like red and pink together.  The rose; it kind of reminded me of Valentine's day cards made with handfuls of glitter and white glue.  I'm not sure if that's good or not.  But I like the dress and she looks great!

The Social Network was the night's big winner, and I doubt I'll ever see it.  I'm sick of Facebook, I'm not a computer nerd, and I just don't care.  This movie is a sausage fest.  Computer Geek sausage fest.  Can't relate.

Anne Hathaway will be co-hosting the Oscars.  Good thing it's a month away because it could take a while to get out of this heaavvvy dress.

Yay, Oscars!  

2010 Emmy awards and VMA: We're really just here for the outfits, man.

Yeah I know.  The Emmy awards were ages ago.  Hey, I'm really busy over here, what with farrier visits and sharing a car with Grandma while I am left truckless!! I couldn't leave the Emmy thing without a comment though, so have a look and then we'll get to the real fun stuff dished up over at MTV.  Honestly, I didn't even watch the VMAs.  There's this great thing called the Internet though, so I got what I needed to know.  Namely, what everybody wore!  Get in and get comfy, here we go...

Tina Fey is genuinely talented, funny, and an extremely good looking woman.  I know, what's not to love?  She looked so good in this dress, I want to tap her on the shoulder and say, "Tina, you're gorgeous and you look perfect in this dress, so SMILE lady!"  But I don't asked to help with these things. I should be, though.  I got ideas.

I hope that face is a smug expression of triumph, because she rocks.

Next, the expression of happiness.  Look how cute this girl is!  I'm not sure if the dress is crooked or if she's standing sort of off centre, but I do like it.  I wonder if the ruffles make swishing noises.

(Who is she?  Is she on Glee?  I'm afraid of that show.)

It's Crazy Dress Time!  January Jones has a fun name, and wore a dress made of some kind of weird fabric that looks like crimped blue tin foil.  It looks wildly uncomfortable.   

However, it doesn't look like anybody else's dress, so good job there.  She knows how to work it.  Her hair looks much like mine does after picking out eight hooves.  I think that's a good thing.  Most of all I love how this photo was snapped on an angle.  Whoooo-ahhhh-oooohhhh!  She's on Mad Men.  Should I be watching that show?

Her castmate, Christina Hendricks, is an unbelievable red-haired barbie doll.  She is by no means large, but she clearly hasn't tried to starve herself into a stupid Hollywood size zero.  Yay!  

I like the colour on her fair skin, and it looks feathery.  I like feathers.  Lavender feathers are a bonus!

I don't like this though.  By the looks of it, she doesn't either.  So sad.

But I do like looking at people in the background in some of these photos.  Where are they going?  Who are they talking to?  Are they also former farm kids and can't believe they're really there with all the famous people?  Are they too wondering what the heck is wrong with Anna's skirt?  

I love this picture the MOST.  I love Rita Wilson's crazy sparkly... chandelier looking... drape?  over her dress.  I love that she matched the shoes to it! 

And really love how Tom Hanks is back there grinning at his wife.  This makes me happy all over!

Speaking of husband and wife: Kevin and Kyra forever!  If you don't like Kevin Bacon, you are lying.  Kyra Sedgwick is so pretty and doesn't pretend to be ten years younger than she is.  She once played a sister to Julia Roberts, which made perfect sense to me.  

I like her loose wavy hair.  And you know, his shades.  Because he's Kevin Bacon and he can.

Toni Collette's dress disturbs me.  Only her fierce attitude saves it.

I can't help it... I just think it looks like she accidentally dragged a grey dress through a wet field on the way there.  I want to like it, because it is interesting, but it's the possibility that I'll have to hose if off and hang it on the fence until morning. Sorry Toni.  I'm sure everybody said that, and you got sick of hearing it,  and you really thought this dress was cool.  Oh well.  Shorter hem next year??

Jane Lynch is awesome.  She's been in a few movies put together by Christopher Guest (whom I love) and even though I don't watch Glee, I know that Sue Sylvester is a legendary character!

Doesn't she look beautiful in this purple gown?!?

Also, the actual award itself... doesn't it look like the hood ornament from a magnificent and now extinct luxury car from the 1920s?

I can't remember who all won stuff, and truthfully don't totally care.  George Clooney got a special humanitarian award.  I like George.  He's a solid actor and he just seems like a genuinely cool dude.  Smart too.  No nonsense, just a clever, funny, articulate, friendly, decent guy.

Plus he's just so darn good looking.  

You can love him, go ahead.  Just don't plan on marrying him, Ok?

Okay enough of the respectable serious stuff.  Let's get some fun going on here.  And who brings the fun better than anybody else these days?  Katy Perry!

She's wearing what looks like a black tattoo on a nekkid torso, and it's one of the most formal and elegant things she's worn.  There is no fake food sewn onto it.  Her hair has colours in it and you know I can't resist colourful hair!

Most of all...

 This girl is just so darn beautiful.  It's natural.  I know she's wearing a layer of makeup but she's pretty for real.  And, she sings live.  You can tell by the odd bum note here and there.  I'm not being mean, because even awesome singers miss a few, and I have so much respect for anybody who performs for real!

And then... part the seas of the ordinary... make way for the fierce.  The magnificent.  The frightening.

The Gaga.

Can I tell you how much I love this picture?  She's all like, "I need not command the riff raff to move.  They simply shall clear the way."  And her personal hand holder/ dress wrangler/ wig steadier looks rather afraid of her.  And what's with the guy on the other side with medals on his jacket????

Just bizarre.

She's totally got the attitude for this dress.  Also it appears that she has gold metal feathers on her head.  She looks like she is owning the place, and totally relishing it.

I mean, what's not to love.  Unless you totally resent her for making music that sticks in your head like rubber cement, especially if you're angry that those sticky tunes contain non-words.  Completely justified, really, but you still gotta hand it to her for bringing the confidently crazy to the show.

By contrast, this youngun looks miserable.  I think I would be too if I chose a plastic dress to wear to the VMAs.  I'd be totally uncomfortable, worried about heat rash and trying to figure out where to put that rope glued to my head, and then friggin Gaga comes storming in on a cloud of red and black and gold swirls with her stupid head feathers and stupid blue and pink hair and stupid own-face.  Geez.  And then I'd worry that people won't even get it that the rope is supposed to be a braid, like a long Rapunzel kind of braid, and on top of all that nobody's even noticing these legs which are actually surprisingly great, and yeah, I'd look miserable too.

Besides, what does Gaga actually look like? Unless she's dressed in something that isn't technically clothes, would be recognize her?  I know I tend to look like a different person in every photo, but this chick... I just don't know what to say.  She only slightly looks like someone related to her.  

On a different but related (see what I did there) topic, yes, apparently she is wearing a meat dress.  Those are two words that shouldn't go together.  At first I saw the pictures and thought, "there's no way that's real meat.  It's canvas or something with an incredibly intricate dye job."  But then I started thinking about BBQ and marbling and wow, if that really is meat, this just opens a whole other can of pork and beans, man.  Like, are we that wasteful in the "developed" world that we can just wear food?  You know nobody's gonna wanna cook this up when she's done with it.  And at least Katy Perry's sushi dress was fake sushi.  Although there are probably carnivorous men in this world who would think, "Woman + meat =happiness" so there's that, but still... and then I have to stop thinking about it.

Luckily, we have Cher.  She is still here to make us forget everything else.  So yeah, Gag gag.  And you too Madonna and Ke-dollarsign-a and Rhianna and all you girls, talented or not, who think you got the shock value thing all figured out.



No, dude.  Cher invented that shock value thing.

Say what you want about her age, her giant wig, or her heavily made up face.  She's 64.  And she's rocking that ridiculous suit she first wore 25 years ago- in a video MTV was scared of.

Honestly, this isn't fair... I mean, few of us can aspire to being in this shape at 64.  Few of us are now.  Maybe she's got a whopping combo of good genes and luck.  Maybe she can afford a magic fitness guru, I don't know, but she's kind of unrealistic. Heck, good for her.  Way to show up and put everything in its place Cher.  Now please make another movie!!!

Well, most people were watching this show to see if good ol Kanye would do anything bone headed, and how Sweet Taylor would respond.  Oh my gosh.  I'm kinda glad I didn't watch this.  I mean, I tell you I watch the awards shows so you don't have to, but man, this must have been awkward.

What is she, 19?  She's wearing as much makeup as Cher.  They've made her unrecognizable.  Seriously if I hadn't been told this is Taylor Swift, I might have thought she was Natalie Maines, who is cute, but no longer nineteen years old. 

Well, the leather wingback chair is nice, and that national guitar is lovely.  I'd like to give the poor girl a pair of soft fuzzy socks.  I know how hard it is to warm your toes with your other toes.

Can you imagine her stylists and publicists and managers debating this look/ vibe/ song choice/ lighting/ for the last year?  Ack.  I mean, it makes me tired just thinking of it.

So let's talk about Kanye.

I have spent the last few years trying to decide if I like this guy or not.  He alternately pisses me off, delights me, irritates me, amuses me, and makes me wonder why his clothes always look like really expensive but highly tacky upholstery.

I keep hearing about his hilarious twitter posts.  I can't figure out if he knows he's funny or if he takes himself seriously.  If you really want the Kanye Report, the Fug Girls said it best.

So if we're keeping track, it looks to me like the Kanye/ Taylor smackdown was a big giant awkward nothing.  Apparently missing the actual broadcast didn't ruin my life.

Next year they should ask Gaga's wild Alexander McQueen royalty gown to host the show.

2010 Golden Globes! (it's ok if you don't get it. I'll get it for ya.)

I admit, I still don't get the Golden Globe awards.  I like it though.  Movie and TV people all sit in the same room, at round tables, and have to zig zag their way to the stage when their names are called.  

I'm pretty sure there are drinkies at those tables, because sometimes the acceptance speeches get a little bit exuberant.  


You gotta love a televised awards presentashe in which the host brings his beer up to the podium with him.  

Does Ricky Gervais always look like he's just cracked a joke he was warned not to tell?  He appears to be snickering constantly.  He made me giggle.

This year had a big difference - it RAINED!  It's in Los Angeles, location of many awards shows, and I don't think I've ever seen rain.  

That's nothing.  This one time when I was on the red carpet -- oh wait, let's just do that one more time -- I WAS ON THE RED CARPET (I still can hardly believe that I get to say that and not as a joke) and it snowed.  No really.  It snowed!!!

Oh silly, that's not me in that picture.  It's Julia Roberts.  You can tell by the long legs.  She's the only one sensible enough to wear long sleeves in the rain.  If I was there, my hair would be a cloud of curls and frizz.  Also I like her shoes.

Here's what Julia and I have in common: big grinny teeth.  Here's where we differ: her smile is symmetrical.  

So it rained in L.A. and there were umbrellas everywhere, plus huge lights to make up for a wet sky.  

Like those of us at home care!  We're there for the clothes!  And the chance of something bizarre being said!

Me, I hope somebody will wear a really tacky gold dress so I can make a lame "golden globes!  snicker snicker" joke on my blog.  

 Thank you, Anna Paquin.

Oh but it gets better!

You can always count on Mariah.

 

And Halle.  

Drew Barrymore is a pure delight.  I might have been the only person who dug her 60s-from-hell hairdo last year.  I was all set to dig this gown until I realized there appeared to be a sparkly hedgehog on her shoulder.

Then I saw the one on her hip!  

AAACKKK!

Then I realized that she is Drew and she's kind of from a different planet, so I give her a free pass.  If ANYBODY can wear a dress decorated with sparkly hedgehogs, it is the one and only Drew Barrymore, she of the crooked smile and wacky acceptance speeches.  

Even George Clooney thinks so.  

Speaking of George Clooney!!!

Look at that beard!!!  It's so silvery and foxy.

So few men can get away with this and still look good.  I mean, he hasn't got little beads braided into it, like his two fellow Sexiest Man Alive Two Times guys have been known to do on occasion, but Classy George wins again.  

Admit it.  YOU love bearded George too.  You know you do.

Sadly, some young fella has to show up with a greasy head of yuck, and this year is no exception.
I am not fully aware of what a Gossip Girl is since I have avoided both the show and the book series like a disease, but apparently he's on the show.  I hope he doesn't walk around like this all the time.  Only a Pattinson can get away with this, and only just.  Of course if a Depp did his hair like this I'd declare it genius but I'm shallow that way.  

Anyways.  Back to the show.  Christina showed up with CHER!  Or is it the other way around?  So CHER looks great, of course, and even if it takes her a few hours to become CHER she is still magnificent.  She puts the work in.  It's her job.  Not just anybody gets to be CHER.  Some pretend; only one IS.

Now don't get me wrong -- we appreciate the musical amazon that is Christina.  And it's nice that she's all classin' it up here, or at least attempting it!  I'm just not so sure about that dress.  Jethro called it Roboboob.

And I just don't think that's good.

I don't know if this is good either, but I love it!

Maybe it's just the saucy attitude she wears it with.  I don't know what Chloe Sevigny is like as an actress... I live under a rock and don't have cable TV, and my only real knowledge of her is through Go Fug Yourself, where she's kind of a goddess of good acting and bad clothes.  I don't care.  I love this dress.  It's insane.  I've never seen anything like it, probably because it's just a dumb idea.  The chest ruffle thing flapped up onto her chin when she walked up to the stage to get her award.  Plus everything else floated behind her.  It leaves me without similes, that's how wild it is.

She picked the right hair and make up for it.  Crazy dress demands not-crazy hair and face.  

I'm no mathmagician but I know that much.

But I just don't know about this.

Christina Hendricks is on another show, Mad Men, which everyone says is amazingly good but that I haven't bothered to watch.

Is this dress perfect, showing off her stunning curves and lavender white skin?  Or is it way too tight, barely holding in the big beasties, and so peachy that it makes her white skin look purple?  Can redheads wear anything in the orange- pink-peach spectrum?  Why do I still often have the urge to dye my hair red?  

I seriously can't decide on this one, but she looks rather pleased with the whole thing.  I guess I would too in her place.

So then Taylor Lautner showed up and Jethro groaned, "They're trotting this kid out, eh?"

And Tribble/ Annyong said, "Shhhhh.  He's talking."

Cameron Diaz is always so cheerful!  I like a big grin on a Famous Person.  She always looks real.  At the Golden Globes she looked really red.  That's all I got to say about that.

Aniston.  Ah.  Aniston.  What am I to say?  Gorgeous, of course.  She is just beautiful, always.  Perfect hair, perfect make up, black dress.  AGAIN. 

After a while I don't care how beautiful she looks.  Do soemthing different.  And by that I don't mean off-white.  Gah, why don't any of these people just listen to me???  If I had her amazing body, I would be wearing something that would visually grab people and scream, "LOOK AT MY STUNNING FIGURE!"  But I don't have her physical perfection.  I am crooked, which makes me think that dress might actually make me look kind of normal.  Okay that does it: from now on it's one shouldered dresses for me.  I'll look great on a tractor like that.  

I'll give Aniston this: few women have the guts to wear a side slit like that.  Those who do often shouldn't.  She can!

And speaking of SHE CAN - hot damn, Kate Winslet!  I wish she'd been wearing this when she won her Oscar instead of the blue dress and that awful helmet hairdo. 

Meryl "T-Bone" Streep wore a very conservative black number, and looked very elegant and um, I don't know what else to say, really, except...

Can we just declare her the best EVER and get it over with?  Go watch a little movie called "Silkwood" and you'll see why Meryl is the best and why CHER is one of the most underrated actors ever.  I'm serious.

Hey, look, it's a pink dress being worn by the Cute Woman From Those National Treasure Movies!

As you know, I like pink, so I'm saying Diane Krueger looks good here.  

Hey look!  It's Tina Fey, about to blow away like a little grey dandelion seed!

I actually think this'd be really cute if it was in any other fabric.  It looks like the upholstery out of a '74 Gremlin.  Seriously.  Imagine if this was in something lighter-weight and in a bright colour.  She's so cool, and I think she works it better than anybody else could.  

Although Penelope Cruz is really working that umbrella.  

My only concern is that she appears to be slightly more orange than normal.  

And on to other concerns... What, honestly, is going on with Kate Hudson?  Who is she going out with this week, what's going on with her face, and is she still hot?

The dress is a magnificent piece of sculpture, but as a dress, it's just a big ol fail.  I don't know about you but I'd be dropping half my meal into that loopy bodice. Even if I wouldn't normally drop my dinner onto myself, this arty dress would be like a food magnet.  I can't even show you the whole dress. I'm just really ferhuddled by it.  Let's move on.  

Normally I'd be less than thrilled about Mo'nique's gold dress.  I am generally suspicious of anything shiny and therefore possibly made of polyester.  However.  She glows all over.  She just looks so pretty. The dress is flattering to her curvy body, the colour is just nicely contrasting with her skin, and she's totally won me over with her lovely attitude during this big awards race.

But sadly, statuesque beautiful Kidman looks like an anemic toothpick beside Mo'nique.  Note to Nicole: seek out scrawny pale people to stand with.  

Now here's a pale guy who who won an award for acting but who should get an award just for showing up!  Michael C Hall is on another one of those shows I don't watch but everybody else can't stop raving about.

Dude just revealed before the show that he's been in cancer treatments.  Yeesh - I have friends who've done this routine.  Not easy.  And each one says things like, "Well, whattaya gonna do, you just keep going."  What am I gonna say to that, except, KEEP ROCKIN' THE STOCKIN' CAP MAN!  

Hey, you know who keeps on rocking, who just makes me love him more all the time?  RDJ!!!

Dig this guy.  Just dig the elegant tux and the gorgeous grin, the cool confidence with the globe-holding.  LOVE.  

Jethro loves Jenna Fischer.  

I do not love this dress.  I love nothing about it.  She's got a sweet figure and this is so unflattering plus a blah colour and an icky looking fabric.  This is a bummer.  

I was all ready to be cheered up by Sandra Bullock in her purple dress.  I like her, because she comes off like she's totally down to earth and cool.  I wanted to love this dress. Even though it looks like it's made out of the stuff people cram into the tops of gift bags, I was ready to get past that and declare this as my favourite of the evening.  

But then, I saw it from a different view.

Um, it's see-through.  Oh my gosh, it really IS made out of the stuff you cram into the top of gift bags!  But I still say it's a gorgeous colour and I still like her.  

This leaves me with the clear choice for Heidi's Favourite Dress From The 2010 Golden Globes.  Good job, Zoe Saldana!  I do like the colour, especially on her lovely brown skin.  I like the shape of it and I love, love, love the skirt with all those crazy ruffles.  

Although this is a very close runner up.

And with that, I realize that I haven't really said much of anything about the actual awards, but let's face it, we're there for the clothes.  It's fun.  This show is the warm up for The Big One, after all, and I fully expect you all to show up for the Oscars in March.  What I mean by that is, you show up here to get the rundown, since this is much more efficient and humorous than staying up until stupid-o-clock to watch the show.

Meet me and the little Golden Man here in March!  Until then, let's discuss: Hudson: hot?  Sevigny: genius or clueless?  Barrymore: crazy?  Clooney: coolest ever?  And as for those pesky awards: who's next?
