Golden Globes Wrap-Up 2011
There was a lot to love at this year's ceremony. Especially if you love awkward silences. I guess I'll start with the red carpet, where Natalie Portman brought the Teen Mom craze to new heights with her maternity gown/painter's smock. It was also great to see Carson Daly's permanently surprised face again. Perhaps he's remembering how he used to date Tara Reid. Also, why was Emma Stone blonde? It's bad enough that she stole Lindsay Lohan's career; does she have to steal her questionable hair choices, too? Better question: why was Justin Bieber there at all? Do they give Emmy nominations for bangs?
We also need to reflect briefly on the fact that Burlesque received not one but multiple nominations. And The Tourist, too. It seemed to be difficult for the people on the telecast to report that information with a straight face. Maybe that's why Angelina was scowling all night.
Do you think that Mila Kunis wishes there were a vault somewhere large enough to contain all of the existing copies of episodes of That 70's Show? Someone should tell her that if you're pushing for respectability, you need to keep your lesbian sex scenes to under 30 seconds.
And I understand that he's got two hit franchises now, but does that really mean that Robert Downey, Jr. never has to shower any more?
Nice that the lady from Married: With Children won. Sad that that's probably how everyone watching the show referred to her when she won.
I actually sort of forgot that Christian Bale wasn't from the US. For a minute I just sort of thought he was putting on an accent for the acceptance speech. Which actually might have been less weird than what actually transpired in that speech.
Most of the winners were pretty boring and expected. I kind of enjoy Melissa Leo, though. I feel like she's sort of secretly actually the character she played in Frozen River. I imagine her wearing lumpy sweatshirts and pancake makeup around the house while chain smoking and screaming at the kids. It's still not enough to make me see that boxing movie, though.
