YOUR GOLDEN GLOBES DRAPED ON MY CHIN
Highlights, highlights! Another year without many surprises, yawn. My friend Joe and I watched it at work (getting paid to watch awards shows? Yearly tradition!), and put the same bet on the line...winner buys dinner. He refuses to count TV shows as part of the deal, which I agree with because they're usually a crap shoot. I went with a few different picks than I had decided on my blog a little bit ago, but came out the victor -- by one catagory. Now we wait for the Oscars. My take on a few bits:
-WOOO! You party all the time, Eddie! I was pleased. Nickleson was likely too drunk to notice he had lost.
-I called Babel about a month ago, didn't I? Check out the "Stay Gold, Ponyboy" post. Tonight I went with The Departed. I was convinced that Babel was a bit too highbrow for the Globes, and I thought that since The Departed has no virtually no shot at best picture with the Academy, they'd give it a go. I should have gone with instinct. I'm seeing Babel this week, along with Volver and possibly The Queen. We'll see how that goes.
-Grey's Anatomy is NOT the best drama on TV, and you know it. Though it is looking a bit up as of late after a rocky start, I'd still bestow the honor of the nominees to Big Love for making something that could have been boring into riveting material.
-Borat? Award winner? Well, alright, though I still maintain that his bits on the show were far more original. His speech was unforgettable, and it's likely the first and last time that the words "testicles" and "anus" will ever appear on an awards show. Unless it's MTV; they love that shit. I nailed this one, by the way.
-I missed on Forrest for best actor. Again, instinct failed me, and I went with Leo from The Departed. I should have known there was a good chance at his two nominations canceling each other out. I could have REALLY won, Joe.
-Who the fuck is Ra-nee Zell-WEE-ger? Her face appears to have closed up more. By next year, her face is going to begin to invert. Anybody read Preacher?
Yeah, like that.
Anyway, congrats to Meryl Streep. Highly deserving.
-Foreign language was fucked this year.
-Uhm, where was Prince to accept his award? Poopin'? He showed up later, and Hugh Grant had him take a bow. Hugh's a BIG Prince fan or something? Don't forget to watch the Superbowl halftime show, y'all. He better sing Rasberry Beret and/or Black Sweat.
-Ugly Betty was a bit of a shocker, as was America winning. Love that show, though. It's almost out of guilty pleasure territory!
-Emily Blunt looked absolutely gorgeous! Wish I could find a picture! But I can't! Fuck!
-Jennifer Hudson has one of the most memorable film debuts of all time, and looked wonderful tonight. She's slimmed down quite a bit.
-I would fuck both Helen Mirren and Alec Baldwin in a second. That's all the time it would take before I cum. Shut up, you would too. Helen is pretty smokin' for her age, and looked a lot like Cate Blanchett tonight.
Alright, promise those best of '06 lists are on the way before the last week of January.
