EDIT: Okay, I'm an idiot. I cited Wikipedia in this post about the Hollywood Foreign Press and the links DO work — so this is in fact Kerripedia!
Damn, it's been on for an hour! Oh, well, I'm jumping in.
8:10 — what the hell is Maggie Gyllenhal wearing? oh, good, Laura Linney won. I like her.
8:12 — did y'all see the John Adams miniseries? it was good. Shirley McClaine looks like she's going to fall asleep.
8:14 — is that Xtina in the Target commercial? she looks weird. why?
8:16 — Biggest Loser commercial. I'd go on that show, but no.
8:17 — Gerard Butler sure does talk out of the left side of his mouth, doesn't he. never noticed that before. I'm not a fan, so whatev.
8:18 — Seth Rogen has lost a lot of weight. BEst screenplay — I love this category — big shock, I'm sure. What a geek. The Slumdog Millionaire writer won — love the title of that one. Brilliant.
8:21 — My man Patrick Dempsey, now that's what I'm talking about. Could he be any cuter? No, I think not. ALec Baldwin won for 30 Rock. The guy who's going to be Aquaman was nominated. Aquaman the movie, people.
8:25 — the hubs is calling from Houston, he's having dinner and telling me about the guy he talked to on the plane. It's all about the networking. I told him I'm blogging and he said uh-huh.
8:28 — seriously, what happened to Renee Zellwegger on the way to the theater? Her hair is all messed up and her sleeves were ripped off her dress. OMG, the clip of The Reader was steamy!
8:30 — ok, let's see if Paul Giamatti wins for John Adams. He should. Kevin Spacey's not there — he shouldn't win. Yea! Paul Giamatti won. He's like running up there. What is with the sideburns, dude? He must be making a movie about the history of the muttonchop next. The History of the Muttonchop at a theater near you this Memorial Day!
8:33 — best tv series musical or comedy — I didn't know Albert Brooks was in Weeds. I like him. And it's 30 Rock. See people, it's all Tina Fey. Tracy Morgan just said "I am the face of post racial America, deal with it Cate Blanchett." Um, Cate's not American. The line was still funny.
8:41 — what is this commercial Truvia? A sweetner made from the Stavia plant?! What is a Stavia plant? They could say it's made from baby's breath and cotton, I wouldn't know the difference.
8:42 — Pierce Brosnan, baby. He's looking a little too tan. It's Mamma Mia. Here's a little trivia for the blog — my hubs loves Abba. Like a lot. He's manly and he likes Abba.
8:46 — For realz, a survey person just called to ask my opinion on gaming in Eastern St Tammany Parish. I answered the person, like I'm not busy! Good grief, is the award season not sacred?
8:48 — Tina Fey won, it's her night. Oh, look — Hugh Laurie's sitting behind Alec Baldwin. I like him. That dress Tina's wearing is a little much. She's awesome, the dress not so awesome.
8:52 — checking Facebook. My friends are funny.
8:55 — Steven Speilberg is getting the Cecil B. DeMille award. He should get that award — he directed Jaws, Jurassic Park, The Color Purple — awesome. I hated ET, so I'm not commenting on that one. I know, I know, everyone loves ET, well, for my birthday when it came out in 1982 I wanted to see Annie with a bunch of my friends (surprise) and my mom made us go see ET. We went to the Eastgate theater in Shreveport and I was ticked. I got one of those big ass Pixie Sticks and was high on sugar by the time it was over. Stupid ET. Speilberg's talking about model trains. Tom Cruise is in the audience chewing gum with his mouth open. Yuck.
9:07 — if Speilberg keeps talking this show will never end.
9:08 — who is the damn Hollywood Foreign Press? I want to meet these powerful people. How do I get to be one of them?
9:09 — oh hell to the no, Wynonna Judd is now the spokeschick for Alli the weight loss drug. Can't I just watch the awards without being reminded to lose weight?
9:11 — the trailer for He's Just Not That Into You — I could have written that one. No, really, let me know when y'all are ready for a story. I've got tons.
9:13 — Emma Thompson should have worn lower heels to present with Dustin Hoffman. That's just inconsiderate to my man Dustin. OMG! The guy who won look like an aged and slightly decrepit Morrisey. You know, Morissey from the Smiths. This is weird. He's even British. Somewhere Morissey is watching this and saying "I didn't even know I was nominated!"
9:16 — Sigourney Weaver is presenting the new Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet movie –Revolutionary Road. Now, I don't think this will be a good sequel to Titanic — they don't explain how he made it out of the water! I saw him drown! How can he come back for a sequel?
9:18 — It was nice that Sandra Bullock was able to wear her wedding dress again.
9:21 — here's what Wikipedia says about Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is an organizationjournalists who cover the United States film industry, but are affiliated with publications outside of North America. The group is perhaps best known for the Golden Globe Awards, of which it is the creator and on-going organizer. The group was founded in 1943 by a correspondent for the Daily Mail, a UK newspaper. The chief aim was, and is, the dispersing of news about Hollywood to countries outside North America. They vote and decide on Golden Globe nominees for each year.
no, those links don't work — this isn't Kerripedia after all.
9:25 — I can't wait to see Frost/Nixon. I am such a geek.
9:26 — It's Salma Hayek. I think I can finally tell her and Penelope Cruz apart.
9:28 — Sasha Baron Coen's hair is insane. He's giving the award for best picture musical or comedy. The GG goes to Penelope Cruz' move. At least I think it's Penelope Cruz.
9:36 — the peeps on the stage just gave a shout out t
o the Morissey guy. Okay, totally not what I thought — the Slumdog Millionaire movie is about Who Wants to be a Millionaire in India. Whatev.
9:38 — Hey it's Marky Mark! Say hello to your mother for me. Kate Winslet won best actress. Good for her. She's crying. Oh, she just said the other actresses names and forgot Angelina. You know Angelina's gonna jump her when she gets off the stage. Angelina looks like she could hurt somebody, I'm not kidding.
9:42 — The girl from Gossip Girl is about to fall out of her dress. The boobs are about to make make an appearance. Ladies, if you're ever nominated for an award or happen to be presenting an award, make sure the bodice fits. No one wants a wardrobe malfunction at the Globes. It's not the time or place. Save that for the Super Bowl.
9:48 — now it's a commercial for a new anti-depressant for when your anti-depressant isn't enough. Good grief. How depressed do I need to be?
9:49 — best actor in a drama. What the hell is Mickey Rourke wearing? He looks like what I would think Michael Hutchence from INXS would have looked like as an older man. But why the sequined scarf? Did he just thank his dogs? I'm going to have to get the transcript.
9:57 — I think I just recovered from seeing Mickey Rourke. I'm pretty sure he thanked his dogs.
9:58 — It's Tom Cruise. I do not enjoy him, but at least he took out the gum. I wish The Curious Case of Benjamin Button would have won just so someone would have given props to one of my favorite authors, F. Scott Fitzgerald. But noooooooooo– it's the Slumdog Millionaire people. And the Morissey-looking dude again. Morissey is more attractive of course. Oh, the guy just said the F word and they caught it on the delay. You can't say the F word at the Globes. Really, people have no class.
10:02 — okay peeps, the Golden Gloves are over. It was good times. Y'all have a great night. xxxooo, Kerry
