I couldn't have been happier that Glee won for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical. Why has nobody ever done a musical tv show before?! It is fantastic!
I thought Meryl Streep's win for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical in Julie & Julia was well deserved. Her portrayal of Julia Child was spot on.
Martin Scorsese's being honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award was great.
I was delighted that Up won for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Score.
Though I've never watched The United States of Tara, I love Toni Colette and think she is incredibly talented (though she looked too thin). I was glad to see her win Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical.
And if you knew how much I love 30 Rock, you wouldn't have been surprised to see me smile when Alec Baldwin won for his performance there. That guy knows how to do comedy.
Adding to my Netflix list at least partly because of the show:
The Young Victoria
An Education
Invictus
Duplicity (looks like it's already in my queue actually)
Grey Gardens
United States of Tara Season 1
Into the Storm
I'll try to see Nine and Sherlock Holmes while they are still in the theater.
And I know this blog is supposed to be about film, but I'm a woman, so I can't very well talk about the Golden Globes without mentioning fashion.
My best dressed picks are:
Jeff Bridges
I thought he looked dapper in all black.
Halle Berry
I know, I know, she always wears something low-cut and backless, but if you had a skin and a body like that, wouldn't you?
Felicity Huffman
I love this dress! And damn, Felicity, you're buff!
Honorable mentions go to:
Jane Krakowski
Kate Hudson (whose everyday braless look is such a turnoff)
Fergie
Christina Aguilera (who managed to look classy for once)
Jennifer Aniston (sexiest of the night)
January Jones
Chloe Sevigny would have gotten an honorable mention if she weren't so unlikeable.
Best golden globes:
Mariah Carey
Nicole Kidman wins for Most Prominent Nipples and Christina Hendricks wins for Looks Most Like a Porn-star.
Though Tom Hanks was incredibly funny and I had mixed feelings on Ricky Gervais, Ricky had the best line of the night, "I like a drink as much as the next man, -- unless the next man is Mel Gibson", when introducing Gibson!
