The Golden Globes

I watched the Golden Globes last night; I like to see the actresses gowns, and last night was a treat.
Tina Fey had on a dark gown with dainty shoulder ruffles; it was structurally perfect--she looked great.
Michael Douglas' wife Catherine Zeta Jones had on a dark green gown made of heavy fabric that looked like upholstery material, draped in front. Way to cumbersome, but her hair and makeup were nicely done.

Michael Douglas, who has been battling throat cancer, gave a short speech on stage in a slightly hoarse voice. He is totally silver haired now.
Gray haired Robert DeNiro, was given a lifetime award honoring the body of his work. He was seated with his black wife or daughter; I don't know which.
Al Pacino won an award for his portrayal for Dr. Jack Kevorkian, but Al hasn't gone gray. His hair was black and spiky and looked good on him.

Annette Bening, wife of Warren Beatty, looked terrible. She had an unbecoming messy short spiky hairdo--Al Pacino's looked much better. She wore a plain black gown and black rimmed glasses, and looks OLD.

Before I leave hair, Sandra Bullock came onstage wearing what looked like a long thick dark heavy wig, with bangs cut so low they hid half her face--what's with that?

Angelina Jolie had on a nicely fitted green gown--she always looks terrific, and when the cameras panned the audience one time, she had her head on hubby Brad Pitt's shoulder.
Most of the ladies were beautifully gowned, still, there were some mis-fires this year.

Host of the Globes, Ricky Gervais, said a lot of outlandish things that irked and shocked some of the audience. When Bruce Willis came on stage, Garvais introduced him as "Bruce Willis, Ashton Kutcher's father." (Kutcher is a young guy married to Willis' ex wife.) Willis did not look happy with that comment. Gervais also made some snarky comments about Scientologists, and about Robert Downey's rehab, some biting comments about a lot of the celebs that were--excuse me--funny.

Bye for now, susil

About the celeb gowns, I do occasionally see someone dressed in a spectacular dress that is tasteful -- Goldie Hawn comes to mind. She never misses. Too many dresses, leaving aside the nudity, are garish, overdone, ill-fitting and emphasize whatever figure faults there are. I knew better than that when I hit 13.

Thanks for posting. I didn't watch it and enjoyed your comments.

Have never seen the Golden Globe awards. I can't picture Ricky Gervais, and have barely heard of him. I look at celebrity gowns in the tabs during checkout time at the market. Very often they are not at all flattering, show way too much boob and very often their shoes don't fit. I don't know why celebrity stars and starlets think it's cool to look as if they have raided their biker mom's closet.

Boo hoo- I think of you as a fashionista! I enjoy looking at the fashions at these shows, and won't miss the Oscars.
The most talked about gown was worn by January Jones from my favorite show "Mad Men." She wore a floaty red dress with straps on top that covered her boobs, vertically and horizontally. Her hair was done in a Marilyn Monroe blond style. She looked astounding.

I watched some of the awards there.Did not like Ricky Gervais at all.
He was an idiot.Most of the show was fair.I for one will not critized any of the actress how they were dressed.They looked very fine to me.
They are not there for how they look.They are there for there work.
We all grow old and Annete accept it.She was fine.All of them were fine.
The worst people there was the host Ricky.

Oh fredo, if the actors and actresses were showing up just to have their work judged, they'd wear jeans and Tshirts, but they show up dressed up because they want to be seen in their best light for appearance, too.
And the "celebrity roast" given by Gervais was funny, and all true, too.

I wasn't inclined to watch the Globes this year, choosing 60 Minutes and Masterpiece Theatre instead. But I was so pleased Colin Firth and The King's Speech did well. I checked out the fashions via this morning's TODAY show picks and pans review. My favorites were Carey Mulligan and Livia Giuggioli.

marta, oooh, I'm jealous--I can't pick up CBS and 60 minutes or Masterpiece Theatre where I live..
PS Those two ladies you mentioned I never saw or heard of; if I did I forgot!

I have never been able to put up with Ricky Gervais! I used to think the 'comedy' (?) series he had over here a few years ago was so childish. I watched his stint on the news this evening - I would imagine he has alienated himself from a lot of people. He gave the impression of being right 'up himself' - I cringed!

Hi breze; Gervais sure pushed a lot of people's buttons and annoyed some of the hoi polloi but what can I say? I thought him humorous.
reply by susil on Jan 26, 2011 11:07 AM ()
I didn't get a chance to watch it, but knowing Ricky Gervais, he must have stayed up nights trying to think of what he thought were funny things to say. He can be very funny, but I don't know if his humor plays well for the general American audience. I think sometimes he forgets that we have our own version of The Office so most Americans aren't all that familiar with his work. But I would have laughed at the Ashton's daddy joke.

His comments were funny--and sometimes shocking, but that's what kept the show from being dull.
