Amy and Tina as drunk losers are hilarious. Big shout out to Glenn Close. Taylor Swift, stay away from Michael J. Fox's son. YES!! haha. Now the Jodie Foster lifetime achievement award. For someone so young, that's kinda funny. I miss Jodie Foster on-screen. I want her in more stuff, and comedies. Robert Downey Jr is a great presenter. Apparently, Jodie's escorts are her sons and Mel Gibson. Props for sticking by that hot mess (Mel, not her sons, I don't think). Cant' RDJ host something? Aww, Panic Room. Kristen Stewart was so cute as Jodie's son in that movie. Oh wait, her daughter? YIKES! Loved Jodie's shout out to Molly Shannon's Sally O'Malley. I'm 50!!
Now Halle Berry is presenting Best Director and it goes to the egregiously snubbed Ben Affleck for my favorite film of the year, Argo. Ben Affleck is a great director. See Argo, The Town (except the Blake Lively parts), and Gone Baby Gone. He's made it past his JLo days. So glad Tom Hooper didn't win for Les Mis. He made some horrible directorial choices. Now crazy drunk (at New Year's at least) Josh Brolin presents Moonrise Kingdom. I haven't seen it yet, but Wes Anderson movies are usually a bit too odd for my liking, and I like odd. We'll see.
Oh good grief, they let Jay Leno on here. Why? He's about as funny as my psoriatic arthritis. Best Comedy series goes to Girls! Was rooting for Big Bang but Girls was #2. Congrats. They must be running behind because I saw the big wrap up sign lol. Glad Smash didn't win. First season was more comedy than musical. Some parts were HORRID. Hope it improves this season. Although they do have Jennifer Hudson trying to act. That's not promising. Great singer, but not a good actress. I don't even believe she lost a ton of weight even though I know she did.
Now Oscar Winner Batman, I mean Christian Bale (same thing) presenting Silver Linings Playbook. Such an entertaining movie. Now best actor in a movie musical or comedy. Jennifer Garner presents and thanks folks her hubby forgot. They are too cute together, but I like them. Hugh Jackman wins. Was fine with him or Bradley (who surpirsed me in SLP!) or Jack Black who was GREAT in a little movie called Bernie.
Now a warning for making financial choices after Oscar nominations, Jeremy Renner presenting Zero Dark Thirty. A very good movie. Saw it today. Jessica Chastain is great! And apparently, he cussed or something. Now, Dustin Hoffman is here to present best picture comedy or musical. I'm hoping for SLP, or Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, just not Les Mis. And the winner is Les Miserable. Blech. I didn't hate it, I liked parts, some parts. OK, the name was right, I felt slightly miserable after.
Now, the drama portion of our evening. 3 awards: actress, actor, film. Jessica Chastain has drama actress all sewn up. Man, Naomi Watts looks like she's 50 or something. Now best actor will probably go to Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln people say he looked and sounded like Lincoln. How do they know what Lincoln sounded like, huh? HOW DO THEY KNOW? I have seen Richard Gere in Arbitrage and he was great (film was ok) and Denzel Washington in Flight (he was BRILLIANT, but the movie was horrid). I will see Lincoln soon.
Now Julia Roberts, who like first presenter Kate Hudson hasn't made a good movie in a while (but MANY more than Kate) presents best motion picture goes to...ARGO!! She gets to hug her good buddy George Clooney. This was my favorite movie of the year so I'm happy :)
Well, aside from crazy nutty moments and not enough Tina and Amy, not a bad show. See y'all at either the SAGs or the Grammys. Who knows. Rise up y'all!

Golden Globes Hour #2
This hour stars with the supremely talented actress Jessica Alba. I'm waiting for her to tackle Shakespeare. And the best actor in a tv movie/miniseries is Kevin Costner. He deserves this award more than he did for best director for Dances With Wolves. That should have gone to Scorsese for Goodfellas. My favorite part, lady coming back to her table with her wine while Kevin was walking to the stage. Haha, she didn't care. It was HER moment.
The actual president Bill Clinton presents the clips from the movie about Lincoln. I still have to see it, but it's another one of those full nap empty bladder movies. Dear filmmakers, EDIT!!
From Clinton to now Ferrell and Wiig, that's a transition. And they are doing bits like most of their characters on SNL. Yeah, they annoyed me on there. They are coming across as, um, medicated. But it's kinda working, kinda predictable and not working. Coming across like that bit Wiig did with Fred Armisen that I despised. But Jennifer Lawrence won for her brilliant performance in Silver Linings Playbook. See this movie if you haven't. Loved her speech "I beat Meryl".
Best TV supporting actor now. I'm rooting for Max Greenfield from New Girl so he has no shot. The winner is Ed Harris for Game Change. He was a great John McCain. And Jamie Foxx presents Django Unchained. See earlier. Jonah Hill and Megan Fox, awkward. And the Golden Globe for best supporting actress goes to Anne Hathaway for a wonderful 15 minutes in Les Miserables. Oh I hope she doesn't cry. I've never understood crying when you win an award. You didn't put a man on Mars or cure diseases. You played pretend. Anne is great but she takes herself a tad too seriously. But she gave a nice shout out to Sally Field.
Manic man Quentin Tarantino wins best screenplay. He still kinda scares me after all these years. Maybe it's the chin? I think he's a little drunk, or maybe a lot. Now a clip of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. I kinda wanna see it. I like Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt. I love movies where British folks go to exotic locations and learn more about themselves. See also, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Now Lucy Liu in a shower curtain. For best actor in a TV comedy, the winner is Don Cheadle for House of Lies. I've read horrid reviews of it and most Showtime shows I don't care for, see also Homeland.
Now Stallone and Schwarzenegger are onstage trying to sound coherent. Bless their hearts. At least there are no housekeepers at the awards show, so Arnold is safe. But they are at a hotel, so who knows. Amour wins. It's about an old couple facing illness and death. It's the feel good movie of the year.
Now TV actress in a drama. I'm rooting for Julianna, want Connie to win for being snubbed for Friday Night Lights, but no, Claire Danes wins for Homeland. Yawn. Why did you say wow Claire, you knew you'd win.
Oh good grief, Sacha Baron Cohen with an unfunny and tacky intro, not to Les Miserable, but to best animated feature. Yeah, that is a great segue. Why is he funny again? Or Russell Brand for that matter. He wasn't there I just don't like him. Brave wins best animated feature. I haven't seen any of the movies so congrats. I'm sure your movie is either great or awful. Now presenting, Life of Pi. I do kinda want to see that. It looks visually stunning!
Now best actress in a comedy, Aziz Ansari trying to be funny but failing and Jason Bateman playing the straight man again. Loved Amy & Tina's nominee shots haha. They are brilliantly funny. The winner is Lena Dunham for Girls. Would have preferred Amy, but happy for Lena. Girls really grew on me. Congrats. Plus she not a pencil stick thin blond bimbo type.
Now on to hour #3

Now on to hour #3
Golden Globes Hour #1
It's time for the Golden Globe Awards presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association so even our awards are being outsourced. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hosting and just got in a HUGE shot at James Cameron. LOVE IT!! They are killing it on the monologue.
The night starts off with best supporting actor in a movie. For some reason, making one good movie 11-12 years ago makes Kate Hudson qualified to consider herself a movie star. Hollywood grades on a curve it seems. But someone needs to investigate what's attacked her neck. I think a Golden Globe has eaten her. The Golden Globe goes to Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained. I have to make sure I have a good nap and an empty bladder before I see it because it's just so long and Leonardo DiCaprio tries to act like a big boy even though he still looks and sounds like he's 17.
Now supporting actress in TV and Dennis Quaid and his plastic surgeon and Kerry Washington present to Dame Maggie Smith for playing a crusty old British lady in Downton Abbey.
Game Change wins best TV Movie/MiniSeries. This was a very interesting movie about the McCain/Palin campaign. Wonderfully acted and written, but probably only to independents and democrats. Now for best actress in a TV movie/miniseries, the winner is Julianne Moore wearing something from the Dynasty collection. She was wonderful as Sarah Palin and it wasn't just an impersonation.
First Best Picture nominee presented is Les Miserables. Anne Hathway was great. Hugh Jackman was very good (but not on Bring Him Home) and Russell Crowe needed Sudafed, and they needed more talking, and they needed fewer close ups and ok I didn't love it. It was good, but except for Anne, it doesn't deserve to win anything. Yeah, I said it, what of it.
I love imagining that Hunger Games would be used to decide association presidents. And her lines were great. Now Rosario Dawson presents The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I really enjoyed this movie. It has a sweet tempo and presence to it. See it if you haven't. Eh, Damian Lewis for drama TV actor. I admire Homeland but don't love it and sometimes I don't like it. I wanted Hamm or Cranston to take it. And it won series too. At least The Newsroom didn't win.
Now for Argo being presented. They have the actual CIA agent who led the mission, Tony Mendez. Argo was a great movie and is a great story. Some of it is heightened for dramatic effect, but it's still dang good and the movie I'd vote for if I were a member of the Academy.
For music, Jennifer Lopez is presenting those awards. I don't know why, she can't sing. Life of Pi won score and my girl Adele won for best song for the AWESOME AMAZING WONDERFUL song. Plus she beat Taylor and Taylor looked TICKED, that was just a bonus.
That's enough for hour #1. Now time to check on the Australian Open and prepare for hour 2!
