So did you all watch the GOLDEN GLOBES last night? I walked in and out of the room all night, skipping most of the boring TV shit like those Desperate ladies winning some awards and "Lost" being hailed as the greatest TV show of all-time (!!), to see a ton of predictable winners for all the top movie prizes (I scored 6 out of 6 on the main awards), including a trans-sexual character winning Best Actress, a gay writer character winning Best Actor and the "gay cowboy" movie winning Best Movie. The so-called "Gay Mafia" rules, baby!!

Homosexual themes aside though, was I the only one surprised to find out that the winning of a Foreign Picture award apparently means that the Foreign Press automatically believes that your people also "deserve their liberty and equality unconditionally." I'm just curious as to where on the award that's specified...hmmmm.

Yeah, I know...I'm being a dick, but I'm watching the party-up Globe awards because most people are drunk and it's a light affair -- I hate when someone takes that opportunity to stand on their soapbox, etc... -- kinda like I'm doing right here...right now.


VOTE FOR YOUR NOMINATIONS RIGHT NOW!!!

Serious crap aside though, the night was filled with some pretty humorous speeches, coming mostly from the TV side of things, including House's Hugh Laurie (holy shit, he's British!) and The Office's great Steve Carell. The night's most stoned winner was neck-and-neck between the dude who portrayed Elvis in the mini-series (holy shit, he's British!), Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, and the man who portrayed Johnny Cash in the movie WALK THE LINE, Joaquin Phoenix, but I'd give that one to Phoenix...despite the photo finish (at least, try to hide the fact that you're plastered, boys...for the kids).

Reese Witherspoon's husband (read: hanger-on) also made a fool of himself with a little too much drunkedness (dude, sit down...the man's trying to make a speech) as did Chad Lowe when he cried as Hillary Swank was accepting her award-- oops, sorry...that was the Oscars a few years ago. Still resonates though...cry-baby!!


Seriously Reesey, can you score me some shit?

Other things confirmed to me during the night included:

  • Clint Eastwood is still very cool
  • Reese Witherspoon remains adorable
  • Harrison Ford looks neat in a beard
  • Mariah Carey is turning into a ball
  • George Clooney is a class act
  • I love Darren Aronofksy as well
  • Ang Lee isn't gay!!
  • Chris Rock is a funny man
  • Penelope Cruz talks funny
  • Pamela Anderson has got massively fake boobs
  • I want to live in Paul Giamatti's beard
  • Patricia Arquette is a babe
  • Natalie Portman looks like a little French boy
  • Zelwegger's starting to look "normal" again
  • I want to live in Queen Latifah's cleavage
  • Matthew Broderick will never age
  • Mira Sorvino is still alive
  • Tom Cruise wasn't there, but he's still creepy
  • Maria Bello is a babe...
  • So is Viggo Mortensen
  • I want to "get to know" Mandy Moore better
  • Eva Longoria is waaaaaaay overrated
  • Leo DiCaprio is waaaaaaaaay underrated
  • Kate Beckinsale = a hot lady
  • Don Johnson should get back with Melanie Griffin
  • I want to make out with Johnny Depp...again
  • Adrien Brody is looking weird
  • Was that Ludacris?
  • Lisa Rinna loves her own body
  • I love Keira Knightley's...teeth
  • Matt Dillon will never age
  • Anthony Hopkins is weird
  • Gwyneth Paltow's preggers again. Apple meet Banana.
  • I don't like Jessica Alba's boyfriend
  • I'm changing my name to "Cash" tomorrow
  • I'm still a big fan of Nancy O'Dell
  • Pat O'Brien is messed up...but in a good way
  • I love Steven Spielberg
  • JoBlo.com got robbed!!

And last but certainly not least, suffice it to say that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's offspring is gonna be a damn looker! Neither actor was there last night and this has nothing to do with the award ceremonies per se, but it's a fact of life that I just thought to share with you all. Wow....can't wait to see that stuff!

Yawn. I usually love watching the golden globes but this year was totally boring. How the heck could 24 not be nominated for best TV series?!

The very few highlights of an otherwise incredibly dull show:

Hugh Laurie's speech (this guy rocks)
Gena Davis's speech
Anthony Hopkins winning the Cecille B DeMille award and the clips of his flicks was fun...

Reese & Joaquin & Walk the Line wining. LOVE that movie!
Lost winning best tv series drama (even if the second season hasn't been as great and 24 is the best show on television!)

Brandon Routh
Didn't BJ Routh sound just like Chris Reeve from the first 'Superman' movie? It was uncanny.

Joaquin
I like the comment about Joaquin up there. It did seem like he was out of it. Did anyone else notice that when he walked up to the stage, he just looked uninterested and even pissed off like, "oh, god, now I have to say something." Its like, dude, you just won, be happy! Instead he looked like a kid with a boner that just got called up to the board in math class.

Uh...
Lost is a terrible show. Boring and lacklusting in sparking any form of interest whatsoever. It's a shame that shows like '24', the aforementioned 'Lost', and other shows that are on FOX, ABC, and CBS have become crap or were crap to begin with. What's even more a shame is that FX is the only outlet amongst the "big-league" networks that actually provides worth while series. The Shield and ...

Oh right. The Golden Globes. Did that happen already? Hmm, I must've been busy farting for a couple of hours or something. Sad I missed it. +_+

Anywho, I second that LOST comment. It's seriously the only live-action show I watch (well, that and THE OFFICE). Damn good, too. 2nd season has been a little dissapointing though (thus far, anyway).

Oh, and one last thing....

F*CK THE GOLDEN GLOBES! Same goes for the Oscars. It's just a bunch of political bullshit mixed in with movie awards. Also, what the hell is up with that Comedy / Musical section???

*ahem*
"THE SQUID AND THE WHALE
THE PRODUCERS
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
WALK THE LINE
MRS. HENDERSON PRESENTS"

Are you f*cking kidding me? What the hell is that? What a crock of shit.
