Some Quick and Possibly Unwelcome Thoughts Regarding Tonight's Golden Globes

Two Wins That Made Total Sense

BEST ACTOR (DRAMA)
Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart (won)
George Clooney, Up in the Air
Colin Firth, A Single Man
Morgan Freeman, Invictus
Tobey Maguire, Brothers

BEST ACTRESS (DRAMA)
Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side (won)
Gabourey Sidibe, Precious
Helen Mirren, The Last Station
Carey Mulligan, An Education
Emily Blunt, The Young Victoria

This is Jeff Bridges' year and I hope he'll continue dominating the Hollywood Winter Formal season.  Clooney did some great work, but this is all about Bridges and his crazy ass country western performance.  I am surprised nobody is talking about Colin Firth. 

As for Sandra Bullock, I'm a fan, and the fact that she's done so well this year and been so lovely, and that the performance is everything you want and more, makes this a no brainer.  While I don't think she's getting an Oscar this Globe makes sense.  And she was class on toast as she thanked BLIND SIDE writer director John Lee Hancock (I'm looking at you Juliana "I remember the name of every agent I've ever met but forgot The Kings who created the show" Marguiles.)

Two Awards That Were Really About The Speeches

BEST ACTOR (COMEDY/MUSICAL)
Matt Damon, The Informant!
Daniel Day-Lewis, Nine
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 500 Days of Summer
Michael Stuhlbarg, A Serious Man
Robert Downey Jr., Sherlock Holmes (won)

BEST ACTRESS (COMEDY/MUSICAL)
Sandra Bullock, The Proposal
Marion Cotillard, Nine
Julia Roberts, Duplicity
Meryl Streep, It's Complicated
Meryl Streep, Julie and Julia (won) 

RDJ gave a great funny speech that would be the talk of the town if Meryl Streep hadn't been the funniest, classiest, most self aware actress to ever stand in front of a group of people and accept a random award given by people who don't speak English very well.

BEST PICTURE (DRAMA)
Avatar (won)
The Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Up In the Air
Precious 

DIRECTOR
James Cameron, Avatar (won)
Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds
Clint Eastwood, Invictus
Jason Reitman, Up in the Air 

The Never Ending Story 2: Blue Cat Buggaloo wins again.  Therefore Cameron feels he can speak in his made up language and tell everyone Mel is his neighbor.

The Award That Is Mostly About Clooney's Weird Girlfriend

SCREENPLAY
Neill Blomkamp, Terri Tatchell, District 9
Nancy Meyers, It's Complicated
Mark Boal, The Hurt Locker
Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds
Jason Reitman, Sheldon Turner, Up in the Air  

So when Reitman turned to Clooney and said all that nice stuff, what the hell was that chick doing?  Was she bored?  Did she not understand what was happening?  Was Clooney not able to explain to her the complicated inner workings of an award show? Does she have a lady penis she was jerking?  Seriously, what was that? 

Dear Director Of The Golden Globes

Holy crap did you suck at your job tonight.  I'm not sure cutting to Leonardo DiCaprio when you meant to show Jeff Bridges makes any sense.

The Television Stuff

• *Mad Men is clearly jumping ahead to 1995.  Don Draper will have to explain why the Seattle sound means something to people buying vacuum cleaners.
• *I love Chloe Sevigny when she's on BIG LOVE or getting waxed at our local salon while eating a bagel.  I do not love her when she's accepting awards.
• *When Jennifer Garner mouthed "I accept" to Ashton Kutcher she was being funny not correcting his grammar.  I think.
• *GLEE is a good show that could easily UGLY BETTY.
• *DAMAGES really should win every award.

Fashion

The only two women who know how to dress: Reese WItherspoon and Christina Hendricks.
