Some thoughts on the Golden Globes:
Am I dreaming, or was that not Catherine Keener that they showed when they announced her name?
How sad that Cameron Diaz doesn't actually own a comb.
I can't believe that Angelina Jolie brought her brother onstage, but actually I think that's pretty cool.
I tend to think that nominees clapping for themselves is tacky, but sometimes, like when they showed Michael Clark Duncan just grinning and clapping his arms off when they announced his name, it seemed less as though he was clapping for himself than he was going "Holy shit, I can't believe that I'm actually here!!"
Damn, I was rooting for Flicka, but Sarah Jessica Parker's speech was so sweet and genuine that it was almost worth it!
Was Lorraine Bracco drunk or is she recovering from a stroke?
A couple years ago (or was it last year?) I made this crack that Michael J Fox won the cripple vote because he came out with Parkinson's before the voting was in. This time, though, the big hoo-ha happened long after it could affect the vote, and I, for one, was thrilled that he won.
Thank goodness Jack Lemmon won, or else someone else would have forced the award on him again this year! O, he just said "In the spirit of Ving Rhames, I'm going to give this to Jack Lemmon!" which was very clever.
Did Lara Flynn Boyle come directly from a softball game?
Billy Campbell, put the goddamn gum away, you're in black tie and you're not Jack Nicholson.
Janet McTeer? Heavens, someone must have won alot of money on that bet. Maybe someone will see the movie, now!
Pretty cool to see Rubin "Hurricane" Carter introduce the clip from The Hurricane. Though, this being The Golden Globes, I think that it would be more likely to have him introduce a clip from The Talented Mr. Ripley.
What was Gwenyth Paltrow going in pants? Does she think that these are the MTV Awards? Put a fucking gown on, woman!
Courtney Love, put your tit away. See comment above about the MTV Awards.
Speaking of tits, seeing the vast freckled expanse between your braless wonders, Minnie Driver, is about the least attractive look possible for you. Please fire your image consultant before the SAG Awards and the Oscars.
Hey, Kevin Spacey's with a woman!
Jesus, how tall is Seth Green, 4'8"? Though that chicken fighting bit was hilarious--at least he's not hung up on his height!
You can really tell who they didn't expect to win--the ones that have 75 miles to walk to get to the stage. Halle Berry, for one.
Go Rand! Go Rand go Rand go RAND!!!! Shit. Phil Collins, my ass.
Man, you think that Barbra Streisand tribute was long enough? I was able to do two and a half weeks worth of dishes as it went on. I did love the look on James Brolin's face when he was looking at her onstage, though. That's a man in love, alright.
HBO's sure cleaning up, ain't?
Wow, Hilary Swank! Heavens above, some unusual people are winning! Love her "See, I really am a girl!" dress. She and Matt Damon should play twins.
Did Almondovar study with Roberto Begnini?
Don't play off a Best Picture winner, you bastards! Honestly, you let Shirley MacLaine and Almondovar talk for hours on end, you don't play off the Best Picture winner, even if is is only comedy!
Holy fuck, Denzel Washington I did not expect!
Jesus, if Harrison Ford was going to hate being there so much, he should have turned the gig down and just stayed home!
I have so much to write about this weekend, but I shot my wad on the Golden Globes. I will tomorrow.
Today's horoscope:
You swing from a total absorption in nitty-gritty to being bored and wanting change. Allow both thoroughness and the need for variety.
One year ago today:
"Alright, who set the lab on fire?"
