Quick Thoughts on the Golden Globes

I don't really have any complaints with the winners. I adore Kate Winslet and was so happy to see her win two awards (side note: I really need to see The Reader). Her acceptance speeches were emotional and genuine, and pretty funny too. Also, I really loved Slumdog Millionaire and was so happy to see it take how the big prize. It's always great to see people associated with these movies appear so joyful at winning.

But I have to confess that my main thought throughout the evening was what the eff happened to Sting?

Srsly. What happened?

When even Colin Farrel is surprised by how cracked out you look, you know you need some help.

As for my best dressed woman pick, it's hard to say. My top three are probably Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, and Selma Hayek, but I don't think I can choose just one. Here's Kate Winslet at any rate:

You might think her dress is a bit boring, but it fit her like a glove, was completely classic and classy, and moved so beautifully under the lights on stage. And Leo Di looks great as always. Her speaking about him during her speech ("I've loved you for 13 years with all my heart") was really sweet. It's nice to see that all the backlash from Titanic didn't impede their friendship.

Things that I also loved about the show: Mickey Rourke winning best actor (we all love a come-back story), Ricky Gervais speech, made with a beer in his hand, of course, and Steven Speilberg winning the Cecil B. DeMille award.

The only real disappointment for me was NPH losing to Tom Wilkinson in the Supporting Actor category. Also, I was shocked as hell at Gabriel Byrne's win for In Treatment. Is anybody even watching that show? Don't worry John Hamm, I still love you.

The combination of awards + hot people + booze always makes for an entertaining show. Here's looking forward to the Oscars!
