The Globes

Let's start with the red carpet show. I watched the NBC version hosted by Carson Daly, Natalie Morales and Alexa Chung. Seemed like a weird group, but actually was really funny and laid back. And most importantly they remembered to ask people what they are wearing! Carson's admittance that he doesn't really care what people are wearing and Alexa Chung knighting Alec Baldwin? And saying Justin Bieber touched her bum. It was very refreshing - a little awkward but something new.

Some highlights in terms of fashion. I finally liked January in Versace - strong red and bold hair. Liked Scarlett Johansson's hair, Natalie's fresh spring Viktor and Rolf dress. Sofia Vergara is so good at working with her body. Very va va va voom in red. Claire Danes in Calvin Klein -- good color choice. LOVED Michelle WIlliams in her fresh daisy Valentino - so different. Ummm I had no idea that Christian Bale was British. You learn new things every day.

WOAH Ricky Gervias. Talk about biting remarks for an opening -- love that he went hard after EVERYONE and addressed my issues with The Tourist nominations and the Scientologists? Shocking!! That riled me up. I'm usually not a fan of the anger at an elegant event, but it was entertaining.

Katey Sagal wins for Sons of Anarchy -- I love that she and Ed O'Neill have these hits now. It's cool that they didn't just remain the Bundy's.

Yeah Chris Colfer. So happy for him. How beautiful is Michelle Pfeiffer? I wish she did more. Milla Jovovich is weird. Steve Buscemi wins which is fine. I really wanted Jon Hamm to win this time. Boardwalk Empire wins best drama -- I'm sure its good. But no excitement from me.

Poor Andrew Garfield -- here he is on the big stage and he can't speak. I can't believe Trent Reznor now looks so normal. That Hallie from True Grit looks beautiful. Go Robert Downey Jr for being the first to say something back to Ricky. Emma Stone looks hot. And I don't like Anne Hathaway's shoulder pad dress. Annette Bening is so classy but she was speaking sooo slowly.

Ummm Tilda, you are lovely but it is not a "televisual" movie. It is "television" movie. Tina Fey and Steve Carrell were hysterical, just hysterical. I need to say something so important right now. WHY IS JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES? AND WHY IS SHE SO FREAKING TAN?

Jane Lynch wins - excellent. She knows how to give a good speech. Wow Olivia Wilde is beautiful. The dress is over the top big, but she has the guts to wear it. I think that's cool.

Laura Linney wins best actress in TV comedy. She wasn't there.

Is it just me or is Christina Aguilera's face really big right now?

What? Jim Parsons in the Big Bang Theory? LAME. love Melissa Leo's genuine enthusiasm. Cool.

Lea Michele loves a big dress too. Didn't love the color so much, but she wears a gown for sure. Oh another shot of Jennifer Love Hewitt - is she dating the director of the show?

And the most random category of the night - best actor in a comedy. I really wanted to see Johnny Depp get up there so he could say something to Ricky Gervais. It might have been classic.

Oh Natalie -- you are so inappropriate. Talking about having sex with your husband and then breaking out in inappropriate laughter? She started off well and ended well, but in between it went wacky.

Luckily nothing went wrong with the Best Comedy Musical Category and The Kid are All Right.

Colin Firth is so charming and elegant.

And finally Best Motion Picture Drama -- The Social Network. I totally get it.

I have to say, as uncomfortable as it was, thank god for RIcky Gervais as the show was pretty uneventful otherwise.

Look forward to hearing from my loyal readers and movie lovers who will have something to say too!

Don't be ashamed of your obsessions -- mine is Garrett Hedlund from Country Strong - oh yes I saw it, loved it and now love him.

Did you notice how Scientology.org actually advertised during the show? It was like a 15 second ad. So creepy!!!
