You know if anything was going to bring me back to my blog it would AWARD SHOW SEASON
{In my head I am hearing "It's the most wonderful time of the yearrrrr!"}
I just wrapped up watching the Golden Globes. I love it so much. I can't help it. I just do.
I haven't been as diligent with my movie going this year. I'm so ashamed. At this point I have only seen
{of the nominated films tonight}:
Dallas Buyers Club, Saving Mr. Banks, Gravity, and
Frozen. I know, I know. NOT MANY AT ALL. I plan to rectify this as much as possible before the Academy Awards.
{I just don't know if I can sit through another 3 hour Scorsese/Leo man fest known THIS year as The Wolf of Wall Street. And I don't knock Scorsese or Leo or man fest films because I think The Departed is a great movie. I think Gangs of New York is a great movie. I think All of the Leo/Scorsese movies are great----but THREE HOURS IS LONG!!!} I digress... Of the television shows nominated, I currently watch
Downton Abbey, Scandal, Parks and Rec, Modern Family and
House of Cards.
The Host: Tina and Amy were great as last year. I just wish, like last year that we got to see more of them.
My favorite joke:
"Gravity is nominated for best film: It’s the story about how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.”
Movie Winners:
Supporting Actress
I was super excited about Jennifer Lawrence winning again. I haven't seen the movie,
American Hustle but like the rest of the world I hang on every awkward anecdote/ slip of the tongue JLaw throws out there.
Supporting Actor: Jared Leto,
Dallas Buyers Club. His acceptance speech was kind of weird. I don't know why he had to discuss waxing and shaving of his body. But whatevs. He had a stellar performance in this movie.
Best Actress-Comedy:
Amy Adams. She's the kind of actress who's a real actress and not the star of the year. She's consistently nominated and she's consistently in all the BEST movies of the year.This may finally be her year. Or she just might be another DiCaprio come Oscar Sunday...I don't know yet.... I just wish she had some lipstick on at the ceremony or something. Her face was so washed out.
Best Actress-Drama
Cate Blanchett is an actress too. I don't know anything about her personal life and I don't care to either. I just know she's a great actress and I'm going to be satisfied whenever I pay money to see one of her films. She's going to be the character. I like that there are still actress who are great and still have a mystery about them. I think that's the key to the longevity. Just be consistently brilliant...not consistently in a magazine or on twitter or in the news. {ummm MEYRL STREEP anyone}
Best Actor-Comedy:
Y'all Leonardo DiCaprio won him an award. He's been going after it for so long and he finally got him one. That baby face might finally be an adult in the eyes of Hollywood. I'm so proud of him. I bet the millions of Tumblr posts dedicated to "Losing Leo" images doesn't know what to do with themselves now.
Best Actor-Drama:
"Alright, Alright, Alright" Classic McConaughey. I have seen
Dallas Buyers Club and IT. IS. INTENSE. There is no trace of
FULL ON McConaughey like we got in his acceptance speech. He transformed not only his body but everything to become this character. It's an uncomfortable movie because it is so raw and so real. He's definitely deserving.
Diane Keaton accepted the Cecil B DeMille Award on behalf of Woody Allen. She was her usual quirky, Annie Hall self. Complete with a moving, A Capella singing of "Make New Friends, But Keep The Old"
Television:
Best Actress-Comedy and Best Actress-Drama are two of my favorite characters Leslie Knope and Claire Underwood. Thank you Amy Poehler and Robin Wright for these women.
Also..Amy celebrated her win with a make out with Bono.
Best Actor- two shows I've never watched
Best Supporting Actor- Jon Vought, he creeps me out and we all know you were trying to insinuate Angelina into that ending of that acceptance speech. We know she's your daughter. You don't have to try to inconspicuously name drop your own kid mister.
Best Supporting Actress- Ummmm... was Jacqueline Bissett aware she was nominated. Like get up and walk to the stage women. Don't take 40 minutes. I feel like we missed a few good Amy/Tina jokes and moments do that death, deer in the headlights slow walk to the stage. And then when she got there she just stared. I mean did she know where she was? It was awkward.
Random Notes and Opinions:
- I think Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks had a couples Spray Tan prior to the night. They had an unusual glow.
- To have been allowed the chance to pull up a chair in between Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep....the things one might have heard. That my friends was the POWER TABLE.
- Taylor Swift shouldn't be allowed at anymore Hollywood gatherings. She seems so awkward around them.
- I think that the whole Matt Damon bit would have had a major payoff if Michael Douglas hadn't been too cool for school to be in on the joke. Dude, you should have directed her praise of Matt Damon to Melissa McCarthy's face. It would have been gold. Instead, you were an old man about it.
- That joke Tina made about Leo DiCaprio, Super Models and Vjayjays was HILARIOUS.
- Was anyone else surprised about Andy Samburg winning AND his show?! I've never watched it but the previews look so dumb. I guess I'm missing the next great thing....
- Emma Thompson, please present at every award show...carrying your shoes and casually sipping from a martini
- Can Matt Damon be my garbage man?
Fashion Review coming soon....
