Now, the final hour starts off with Carrie Underwood in outfit #50 singing. Hey as long it keeps her from wearing a nun's outfit or Austrian nanny outfit and singing My Favorite Things, I'm happy. Yes, we get it, you can sing loud, so can I. No, I'm not a fan in case you couldn't tell haha. After Dierks got drunk on the plane I guess they needed to Carrie to church it up.
I have no clue who Lucy Hale is or this duo presenting with her. I'm sure they're big with the teen set. They are presenting vocal group of the year and the CMA Award for Vocal Group of the Year goes to Little Big Town. I'm happy for them, but they still haven't done anything better than Boondocks. I still love that dang song. I still think it's cruel when the camera cuts to the losers while the winner is on stage. I kinda want the losers to look all pissed & stuff.
Now, Luke Bryan is performing a song about a roller coaster, hence the big honkin' roller coaster on stage with him. He looks like he likes to dance & perform and he's trying to be restrained and it's tough for him.
Here to sing about smoking and drinking is Miranda Lambert and Little Big Town. That's the actual introduction to this song, and I think the song's title too haha. The most entertaining song about the 2 I've heard. A good song for bad vices? haha. Aww guitar player is a wearing a tshirt with the Farrah Fawcett poster on it. RIP Farrah. She was great in this TV miniseries called Small Sacrifices where she killed her kids. She was scary!
Brad & Carrie are now singing "When I Call Your Name" by Vince Gill. One of the best sad country songs EVER! Vince is sitting in front of song girl with a flower headband or something. Distracting. They now are going through Vince's career. Hey look Taylor did make an appearance on the awards show tonight. Aww, Vince is getting choked up seeing all these legends saluting him. Vince is one of my favorite artists of all time. He always sneaks in a bit of a dirty joke too haha. Wait, the Doobie Brothers on the CMAs?
Now George Strait is performing with Dale Gribble from King of the Hill, I mean Eric Close. George Strait can do no wrong. Why does Eric Church wear sunglasses? You're inside. Do you have glaucoma like Bono? Trying to be cool like Corey Hart and wear your sunglasses at night? Now my girl Trisha Yearwood (great singer AND cooking show host!) is presenting male vocalist of the year. I'd love Dierks or Keith to win it but of course Blake wins it. I wish Trisha would have sung tonight. I wanna hear her new song! But I love the Earl Thomas Conley shout out. Loved ETC in the 80s. Then some newbie sang for a minute and looked like he was at a high school party.
Now The Doobie Brothers (yes) with Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland, Hilary Scott from Lady Antebellum, Hunter Hayes from "Hey I'm not the country Bieber" and Michael McDonald. So whoa listen to the music because the mics aren't up loud enough to sing over them. Is the lady sitting with Brad Paisley's wife wearing ribbon candy as a dress? Even Nicole is almost able to show emotion. This is more country than All About That Bass and Ariana.
To present female vocalist, some supermodel and some guy I've never heard of and the winner is Miranda Lambert. My aunt texted me "What kind of nasty dress does that girl have on?" haha I replied there wasn't enough of it to be a dress LOL. Yet another husband/wife split. Now, a commercial, then Garth, the ultimate entertainer, presents entertainer of the year. Then I can watch American Horror Story!
Here are the nominees: Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, George Strait, Keith Urban. Who wins? Luke Bryan. Aww, the first thing he said is "I've never met Garth. Hey Garth. Can I hug you again?" haha. Now, he's ready to party. And I'm ready ready to watch some spoiled rich kid to be a homicidal clown. While I watch that, I'll leave you with Michael McDonald Takin' It To the Streets. Hope y'all had fun.
Later y'all!

The CMA Awards - Part 3 Y'all!!!
Now Tim McGraw is performing a song called Shotgun Rider (I think that's what Brad said?) First off, fella needs a sandwich (pronounced sammich). He's got a real life steel guitar player y'all! What do y'all think of the band all in white jackets? Not a bad song, but why bring out the guitar if you are just gonna sling it over your back? I can "play" guitar like that too. You ain't special.
Now vocal duo, which will go to Florida Georgia Auto-Tune, I mean Florida-Georgia Line, sorry. But that one guy presenting is tall, the girl looks like the country version of Lorde and then there's the third guy. Now some random guy is on a stage singing. According to the graphic it's Cole Swindell and according to my eyes he's lost his upper lip somewhere along the way. Just odd they didn't give him a real introduction. But a Wikipedia search confirmed my suspicions from the GS on his hat that he went to Georgia Southern. Just a bit of trivia for ya.
Carrie Underwood in outfit #27 introducing Dierks Bentley singing Drunk On a Plane (apparently he got his pilot's license this year, how scary is that). Another guitar slung across his back, but he actually brings it out and plays it. Not my favorite Dierks song but you have to drink a lot in a country song or it's not country. Hey sound mixers, can't y'all turn the instruments down, can't hear Dierks. Or are you drunk on TV?
Now, Martina McBride and Coach Taylor's wife, I mean Connie Britton. Sorry, I'm a Friday Night Lights fan forever. Clear eyes, full hearts, CAN'T LOSE! Now album of the year goes to Miranda Lambert which I thought it would. She looks like Baby Spice now.
WooHoo, Hunger Games commercial. I can't wait! I need to re-read the books at some point. I read them all quickly back around the time I had back surgery.
Now, Carrie Underwood in outfit #39 of the night introducing her co-host Brad Paisley. Can't help but like the guy, but the weird swaying mosh pit in front of him is kinda creepy. Man, he can play that guitar! Now Blake Shelton is singing. I remember when he had a mullet and sang Austin. Oh how times change. Is he singing with Luna Lovegood from Hogwarts? (Yes, a Harry Potter joke y'all!) He looks uncomfortable dancing/moving lol.
On to part 4, the Final Chapter!

The CMA Awards - Part 2 Y'all!!
Brad Paisley kicks off this segment saying that ABC's hit freshman
comedy black-ish is not what folks are watching, but to stay tuned and
enjoy white-ish. Haha, it's funny because it's true. Now, Keith Urban is
performing. He can play a mean guitar and always gives his all. But
seriously, the same hair still? Who are you, Rod Stewart? It looks like
the hairdo just past Soccer Mom #12. Nicole is there and she doesn't
look like an alien robot. Congrats!
Now Darius Rucker (who will always be Hootie to me) and Tim Tebow (who will always be that guy Bama and Ole Miss made cry after beating them) present song of the year to Kacey Musgraves for Follow Your Arrow, YES!!! Very happy about that. I love that song, and nothing about mud ridin in a pickup with a 6 pack. I'm sure the song is a bit controversial with some of the lyrics, but it's great.
Now The Band Perry singing Glen Campbell's Gentle On My Mind. God Bless Glen. He lived a rough tough life and now is fighting due to Alzheimer's. He has a documentary and new song (which is a heartbreaking song). I swear that one Boy Perry looks ready to join a Flock of Seagulls tribute band or something. Wow, this performance is GREAT! The Girl Perry is a sassy one ain't she?
Medicine commercials get scarier and scarier all the time. I'm waiting for them to just say "Either your disease will kill you or this medicine will. TAKE YOUR PICK!" I'm proud to say I take one of those tv commercial medicines. It helps me function.
Now Kacey Musgraves is performing on an old fashioned Grand Ole Opry set with an old fashioned hairdo singing Loretta Lynn's classic "If You're Lookin' At Me, You're Lookin' At Country", although her dress is shorter than Miss Loretta's. Then who comes out but LORETTA LYNN!! Full ballgown as usual, to sing along. She's 82 and still looks and sounds great!
Now, 2 guys they found at the bar at the local Chili's are out to present new artist of the year. Seriously guys, dress up or something, the new artist winner, Brett Eldredge is wearing a flipping tux.
Now Jason Aldean is performing on his "I'm sorry I cheated on my wife with an American Idol loser got caught tried to make it work but she wouldn't have me so now I'm engaged to that girl" tour. That's heck trying to fit on a t-shirt. Not that I'm judging. To me, he still hasn't surpassed his work on his duet with Kelly Clarkson. But I respect him because he's not some skinny guy. He looks like he wore husky sized pants when he was a kid. But the fake rips in the jeans he's wearing now makes him look like a scarecrow. If he only had a brain.
Carrie Underwood is out in outfit number 12 and Brad Paisley is out with a great idea. He's got a Sam's size container of cheese balls in a baby carrier strapped to him. I LIKE IT!! Now I want some! Now Little Big Town is performing in outfits with HEAVY red outlining. Creepy. They are singing their hit "Day Drinking" or as some people I know would call it "Alcoholism" or "A Cry For Help". I'll stick with day ice creaming. Now I want Ice Cream! Oh the read is now white. Those are lights y'all! Fancy. Now Ariana is singing her part of Bang Bang. Why, seriously, why? That went from zero to hot mess in less than 5 seconds. A new land speed record!
OK, I say part 2 is DONE!

The CMA Awards - Part 1 Y'all!
It's been a minute since I've blogged an awards show. Well, 7 months
actually. I blogged the ACM Awards, now, I've eaten, got my dishwasher
running, clothes ready for tomorrow, American Horror Story set to tape
(yes, I know it's a DVR, but I'm old and I still tape shows, leave me
alone and get off my lawn) and I'm ready to watch the CMAs.
They are starting off the show with Kenny Chesney doing some speak/singing thing. It's got a banjo so it SOUND country. But it looks about as country as a Yankees game. It's got hipster dressed guys and girls dancing around a psychadelic-ish painted bus. I have expected the Partridge Family to get off it was so colorful. Now, keeping in the theme of real country, Miranda Lambert is singing with Meghan Trainor on her hit "All About That Bass". I do like that song, but I'm waiting for the real country to start. Half a fiddle in it don't make it country. Tim McGraw looked mighty confused. George Strait was laughing, but in my mind, he was thinking "What is this y'all?".
Now, Brad & Carrie. How many pregnancy jokes will we get? They start off honoring the now retired but still nominated George Strait. Now, pregnancy joke #1. Ooh, an Ebola joke song called Quarantine set to Dolly's Jolene. Ooh, political jokes. Easy crowd to do this with. Carrie is much less wooden than she was last year when she was on the CMAs and The Sound of Music (bless her heart on that one). Ooh, a Renee Zellweger joke.
For the first award of the evening, let's hear it for country icon...Steven Tyler? What? Um, ok. Also, forget what happened to Renee, what has happened to Steven Tyler over the years? The winner for single of the year goes to Miranda Lambert for Automatic. I do like that song though so it's ok. But I think something happened to part of her dress. Looks odd. Wait, Ariana Grande is there too? Why are they trying to take the country out of my country?
Now Lady Antebellum are on stage singing about revenge drunking with Hey Bartender. Hey look the Swiss Miss girl is playing guitar for them. Seriously dude, NOBODY is wearing 2 long braided ponytails anymore. He's so 2013 or probably 1913. It was a rock song with a banjo but still catchier than it had a right to be.
Now, Florida Georgia Line is performing. I'm interested to hear what they sound like without all the autotune. This is actually the most country I've heard them sound. I still don't know which one is Florida and which one is Georgia. I know one is sleeveless and tatted and one is in his finest Hank Williams knock-off shirt.
Well that's enough to get everyone started. I'm looking forward to The Band Perry singing Gentle On My Mind. I'm interested to hear Ariana Grande slur her way through some song. Seriously girl ENUNCIATE! More soon!

ACM Awards - Part 4 Y'all!!!!
Part Final aka Part 4 opens with Tim McGraw sitting on a stool wearing what looks like a black straw hat and singing into a leftover prop microphone from that Great Gatsby movie I didn't like. Then Faith saunters out in a slinky gown, but she looks and sounds better than she has in a while. Good for her.
Meanwhile, Blake Shelton heads over to Mandalay Bay where they relegated Florida/Georgia Line, who are performing with Luke Bryan. It sounds like it'll be a country frat party. Looks it too. Oh look, flames. Oh look again, bike tricks and a big rig on the video screen. Are they trying to kinda rap? Bless they hearts. I've used that in at least 3 posts now. I should have done it in all 4. Dang it!
Carrie isn't performing? What's that about? No, I don't like her and thought her acting in Sound of Music was more stiff than an overstarched dress shirt, but people love her. Jason Aldean wins. Dude, why can't we see your eyes? You been puffin with Eric Church & Willie Nelson? Now, Toby Keith! Wow, he's still around too? Ooh, fireworks! Last time I saw him he was singing about Red Solo Cups. Is that Chaz Bono sitting next to Keith Urban? Kinda looked like him. Glad one of the backup singers for Toby has a tambourine, because Stevie Nicks didn't have hers. Dear goob cheesing and grinning at the camera, don't just don't. You look like a dbag. Drunk girl in the audience then stands up to dance at the end of the song. A little late, but thanks for playing.
Now, George Strait and Jerry Jones. They are announcing the 50th Anniversary of the ACMs and it'll be at Jerry World in Dallas. Good to know someone will be winning something that matters there. Haha. Now, ET host Nancy O'Dell and David Nail (no clue) are presenting vocal group. Wow, he's awkward. Not sure what happened to the rest of her dress, but she should get a refund. Vocal group of the year is The Band Perry. If I Die Young, I want hair like them. Now, Jewel is out in a shiny dress and shiny lips to tell about the ACM Charity. Now, Hunter Hayes, the clean cut country Bieber, is performing his song Invisible about being bullied, hungry, alone, etc. It's a great idea, but it plays like a very special episode of an 80s sitcom than an actual song. But Merle clapped, and that's all that matters.
WooHoo, my girl Trisha Yearwood is presenting Female Vocalist. She's won it twice. If you haven't watched her Food Network show, please do, it's great. Miranda Lambert wins female vocalist. Not a shock. The women who didn't win, at least 2 of them didn't look too thrilled. Oh well, sorry Carrie. Now Hootie & Lady A singing a song Bob Dylan wrote. I can't make this stuff up. Folks are eating this up. Lord, Taylor Swift is doing the awkward white girl dancing to the song, like she does to all song at all awards shows. I kinda like & expect it now. And now, Hootie, aka Darius Rucker presents Album of the Year to Kacey Musgraves. I've heard she's a unique and super talented woman. Good for her. Why is there only one solo female performing at the ACMs tonight?
Now, Mr. Trisha Yearwood, aka Garth Brooks is introducing Miranda Lambert & George Strait in tribute to Crystal Milestone recipient (whatever that is) Merle Haggard. It was a bit rushed. I guess more faux country artists need to perform? Nice performance by Miranda and George and short speech from Merle. Apparently, Rascal Flatts is performing? Why? They weren't nominated and their lead singer annoys me. Good grief, I stop listening and it all goes to crap :(
So here's Rascal Flatts. That lead singer is just so completely annoying. He's added stupid movements to his added weight. He changed his stage name to LeVox because it means "The Voice". No, just no. Now, two real artists, Dierks Bentley and Sheryl Crow. Good job. Now, 2 great country artists to present Entertainer of the Year: Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J. And the winner is...George Strait!! Thankfully they got something right! He totally just left Miranda Lambert hanging. I think he's shocked. Good for him. He's one of the best of all time and is still real country!!
Well, kids, that's it for tonight. I hope y'all enjoyed it. I delayed watching the season premiere of Game of Thrones for y'all. If you didn't like it, well, tough. Have a great night and a great week. Be blessed :)

ACM Awards - Part 3 Y'all!!!
Now Blake Shelton is introducing Luke Bryan and doing a fake bad intro. I'm surprised he didn't pull a Travolta and call him Adele Dazeem. It's funny how when the cameras cut to the girls in the audience singing along, it's always at a part of the song they don't know or get wrong. Aww, bless they hearts. HOOTIE SIGHTING! Nice enough little song.
Now, Florida/Georgia Line are presenting best new artist. Will it be no hat, cowboy hat, or backwards baseball cap. Based on the little video snippets of them, I'm rooting for no hat. But the winner is...HAT!! His name is Justin Moore. Based on the performances, he was the most generic. WOW, he's a tony little man, no wonder he wears the height. He did joke that he thought there was a height requirement for the award. He's from Arkansas, just like my Daddy! So, cool for him. But he's crying. No, just don't.
Now Jason Aldean comes out. He's in all black, black hat too. All I know of him is he sang with Kelly Clarkson and TMZ caught him making out with some former American Idol contestant, while he was married. He's no longer married. Now Daft Punk is out to present single of the year. Nah, just kidding, it's Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton in a joke I saw coming from a mile away. I've actually heard of all these songs for single of the year. I'm rooting for Mama's Broken Heart because it was just fun. The winner is Mama's Broken Heart! I thought it'd be that Tim McGraw one. Miranda looks great, not because she's lost weight, but because she's dressing her size. I never thought she was big just wearing the wrong size. Actually, now, she looks a little TOO skinny. Eat you a sandwich girl!
Now Blake is introducing his wife Miranda Lambert singing a song called Automatic. Apparently she's been at Michael's or Hobby Lobby because she bedazzled the heck out that microphone. I think the mugged Judy Jetson for those boots though. That one audience member they showed looks like what I think Hilary Duff would look like if she didn't have those horse teeth veneers put in. I have heard this song before too. Not a bad song. It's about how things these days are too fast paced and we don't enjoy the slower paced things in life. Nice of fat bearded man in the audience to clap while holding & not spilling his beer. God forbid you put it down for a moment. Such a gentleman. As Ouiser said in Steel Magnolias said "I bet he even takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it".
Now Olivia Munn & Aaron Rodgers, a great country pairing, present song of the year. Wagon Wheel is a nominee which means Bob Dylan got an ACM nomination. But Lee Brice wins for I Drive Your Truck, about a man who's brother was killed in the war. 2 of the 3 writers of the song are women. Cool.
Well, let's make that a wrap. Final hour coming up!

Eat you a sandwich girl!
Now Blake is introducing his wife Miranda Lambert singing a song called Automatic. Apparently she's been at Michael's or Hobby Lobby because she bedazzled the heck out that microphone. I think the mugged Judy Jetson for those boots though. That one audience member they showed looks like what I think Hilary Duff would look like if she didn't have those horse teeth veneers put in. I have heard this song before too. Not a bad song. It's about how things these days are too fast paced and we don't enjoy the slower paced things in life. Nice of fat bearded man in the audience to clap while holding & not spilling his beer. God forbid you put it down for a moment. Such a gentleman. As Ouiser said in Steel Magnolias said "I bet he even takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it".
Now Olivia Munn & Aaron Rodgers, a great country pairing, present song of the year. Wagon Wheel is a nominee which means Bob Dylan got an ACM nomination. But Lee Brice wins for I Drive Your Truck, about a man who's brother was killed in the war. 2 of the 3 writers of the song are women. Cool.
Well, let's make that a wrap. Final hour coming up!
ACM Awards - Part 2 Y'all!!
Half an hour in and still no awards given. Martina McBride is out there to introduce the one, the only, the legendary, THE George Strait. He is truly one of the best ever. Show em how it's done George! Some of the folks in the audience though, bless they hearts. They look like the type who would go to the beach and still want to eat at Red Lobster. Some of the hair on the performers, WOW! There's a big hole in the ozone now filled with Aqua Net.
Lee Brice is now singing I Drive Your Truck. It's a serious song, you can tell because his ballcap is on backwards, and it's just him and his guitar, but it seemed like a song about a dead relative, but he got to sing it for 30 seconds, what the heck. Now, I'm about to shoot my TV because Guy Fieri is on my screen, NOT BY CHOICE! Oh look, he's wearing a gray camouflage suit because rednecks hunt. You are a waste Guy, go away. He introduced some package on what sort of country fun Vegas had this week. But still, it was Guy, that's enough to make me hurl. Now, some Kohl's commercial about some little boy taking his first jump off the high diving board. No, just no. High dive, and heights, are evil. I did it as a kid and was scared every time. I even dove off a high dive. I was dumb. Plus, a Disney movie commercial with that Philip Phillips song "Home" #1, why the same name first & last? No, just no. #2, aren't we done with that song yet? It's worse than Happy about being everywhere. I decree both songs done!
Now Eric Church is performing. Last time I saw him on an awards show stage, he looked like Dale Gribble from King of the Hill. Thankfully, he doesn't anymore. Blake & Luke did a weed joke about him in the opening so apparently he's a country bad boy. Hey at least he isn't singing about beer and trucks in this song. I kinda like this one. Oh wow, I think they just showed one member of Big & Rich (are they still around?) and he was wearing a ruffled shirt. Aww, that's just sad.
Now, New Artist nominee #2 (after Brett something) named Justin something is singing. He's got a big hat & a big belt buckle and he's singing about a truck! Glad to see he's avoiding cliches, and some weird kiss blowing at the end. Huh? Still no awards though!
Now, we're back with Blake Shelton in jeans & vest and Shakira in I think half a nightgown and leather thigh highs. She kinda looks like Charo from an episode of The Love Boat. Not feeling this song though. Now skinny little Taylor Swift is out to present top vocal duo. I guess since she's not as country anymore, they aren't letting her sing. Aww. From the clips, I think I'd like Thompson Square the best, but the winner is Florida/Georgia Line. Don't discount the power of a Nelly rap in a truck song. The one guy (not sure if it was Florida or Georgia) was in a Garth Brooks tshirt with what looked like a Members Only jacket. He looked like a villain from a generic 80s movie.
Now, Lady Antebellum and Stevie Nicks performing together. At least they are subdued, even if the song sounds like a long distance commercial from the 80s. Well, subdued lasted 30 seconds, but thankfully Stevie tears into Rhiannon. I know Misty Day from American Horror Story would be saddened to see Stevie without a scarf. How many of these country fans know what this song is about? Hillary held her own with Stevie. Good job!
Now, Keith Urban is taking time off from Idol to perform on the ACMs. He always has some good fun songs. He sounds like an 80s pop rocker more than a country star, but I still can't help but like him. Now, new artist nominee #3, his name is Kip and he has a sleeveless, a backwards ballcap, and his song is "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck". I think he has a bible verse tattooed on his biceps. Just reporting facts.
That's it for part 2, to Part 3 & BEYOND!!!

ACM Awards - Part 1, Y'all!
Good evening everyone! After taking the Oscars off to attend an Oscar party, I'm back with my brilliant thoughts on another awards show. This time, it's the Academy of Country Music Awards, coming to you from the heart of country music...Las Vegas? Um, ok? I know it's been in Vegas for years, but still. I'm a traditionalist, it should be in Nashville. Today's country is different than the country I grew up on. Today, it's all slick generic pop with an occasional banjo. Plus, it's almost all guys singing songs about trucks & beer. I guess I'm just old-fashioned. I was country when country wasn't cool. Heck, I was country when Barbara Mandrell WAS cool, and that's saying something! I don't think any of these guys can hold a candle to Waylon, Willie, Johnny, or George. Plus, I don't like Carrie (sorry). Anyway, on with the show.
Oh good, Shakira is on the show. Wait, what? Shakira is on? Um, ok. At least there is a tribute to Merle featuring George Strait, Miranda (who could be modern & traditional) and Garth. We start with The Band Perry. The lead Perry now looks like Sheryl Crow, creepy. Perry boy 1 looks like Steve Perry and Perry boy 2 looks like Joe Perry, fitting since this is like a cross between what I imagine a Journey & Aerosmith concert to be.
Now your hosts, Blake Shelton & Luke Bryan come out. Luke Bryan always has a big smile and good teeth going. It's like he's a walking ad for Aspen Dental or something. Seems like he's a nice guy. Blake opens up with a big slam on Britney Spears not singing live. But c'mon, who goes to see her to listen to her vocal ability? At least Luke Bryan got in a good Dallas Cowboys slam. Everyone is covered in confetti in the audience and that's bizarre, but in a good way. You know those women spent tons of time & money on their hair & dresses and boom, it's like a bad prom. Well, I saw some of them, and they looked like a bad prom to begin with.
After some painfully bad and obvious jokes (makes me appreciate Brad & Carrie even more on CMAs), they toss it to Florida/Georgia Line performing. They sound a little more country than Band Perry did, but I kinda miss that song they did will Nelly. Yes, I know Nelly isn't country, but that song was awful & awfully catchy. Then, immediately into Brad Paisley performing at a pool party in Vegas. Surprised to see more tats on the guys than girls. Ladies, you are disappointing me. Fun enough little summer sounding song about going to the river bank.
Now, back from commercial, it's Blake Shelton performing with Gwen Sebastian. She has southern blonde lady hairdo #47. Go to the mall or little park on Saturday and you'll see at least 10 women with the same hair. Good to see Blake's wife singing along. It's good for spouses to be involved and interested in the other's job. Is the stage decorated with candles in mason jars? What, did Pinterest throw up in there? I still don't understand Pinterest and really just don't want to. But the song was actually pretty good. Was that Christiane Amanpour they showed?
Now some generic looking & sounding country boy (no hat) named I think Brent Everett is singing some song with his beach based video playing in the background. He looks happy though.
Well, this is a good start for blogging, so yeah, part 2 coming up next!
Oh good, Shakira is on the show. Wait, what? Shakira is on? Um, ok. At least there is a tribute to Merle featuring George Strait, Miranda (who could be modern & traditional) and Garth.

It's the Grammy Awards y'all - Part 5!!!!!
Now, Cyndi Lauper, who FINALLY won her 2nd Grammy tonight after winning her only one in 1985 for Best New Artist. She won for Best Cast Album for the Tony winning Kinky Boots. She introduced Carole King with Sara Bareilles performing together, first Carole's Beautiful followed by Sara's Brave. Love Carole, love Sara, love Brave. Just them and their pianos. I just love this!! I hope they collaborate again. Now they are presenting Song of the Year. Hmm, this is a tough call. Just not Royals. So of course it wins. Blech. Get you some girl from The Ring.
Now, Oscar nominee Jared Leto is paying tribute to Lou Reed by quoting from Reed's Walk on the Wild Side, which referenced a cross-dresser, like Jared was in Dallas Buyer's Club. Now he's introducing Metallica playing One with Chinese pianist Lang Lang. If I liked Metallica or hard rock/metal music, I would probably enjoy this performance. Lars Ulrich does make the odd faces when he drums, but the man has nothing on the Mick Fleetwood drum face, NOTHING AT ALL!! That was loud.
Now Steven Tyler is presenting Record of the Year with Smokey Robinson. I love Smokey. Steven looks like someone they found on the street and put in a suit and sent to the Grammys. Him trying to sing You Really Got a Hold on Me sounded like it too. Ok, not creepy girl, not creepy girl, or creepy Robin Thicke ...and the Grammy goes to Get Lucky!! The helmets win again. Do you think it's really those guys under the helmets or just a few guys they paid? Hmm...
Now Queen Latifah is introducing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis with Mary Lambert doing Same Love. Well this won't go over well in some areas. At least one song has a choir at the Grammys, this is the one. Weddings, Madonna, Choir.
Love the Bing/Microsoft commercial showcasing Brave and heroic women of the current and the recent past.
Now Ryan Seacrest & John Legend are up there giving a music educator award. Kent Knappenberger was the winner. Congrats! Music & music education are huge to me. Now the part of every awards show where they honor those who passed away, aka the death parade. The piano player from the Metallica performance now plays honoring Van Cliburn. That's versatility. Now Miranda Lambert and Billie Jo Armstrong from Green Day are singing When Will I Be Loved, by the Everly Brothers in honor of the recently deceased Phil Everly. Wow, they sound great together.
Finally, Album of the Year, it's being presented by Yoko Ono, Alicia Keys, and Olivia Harrison. Aww, two Beatles widows. And the Grammy goes to...DAFT PUNK! R2D2 and C3PO win again.
Now, to end the ceremony, more music that I don't really get & care about. Nine Inch Nails & Queens of the Stone Age plus Lindsey Buckingham and Dave Grohl. So yeah, there's that. Hope you enjoyed the show. Good night everyone!

It's the Grammy Awards y'all - Part 4!!!!
Now, we are here for the 10pm hour (eastern time) of the Grammy Awards. Apparently, every legend is performing in this hour. Now, for some reason, Julia Roberts is at the Grammys. She was great in August: Osage County, but all I know of her musical abilities is her singing Kiss in the bathtub in Pretty Woman. She's telling of a Beatles special coming up, which is great too. She's introducing Paul McCartney performing, with help from Ringo. My friend Brandon just loudly rolled his eyes at this. Love this piano though! Are they showing movie clips in the background? Is this from a movie? Maybe it's just the video for the song. Was that Johnny Depp? I hope not, I don't like him either. Fun song though! Yoko Ono dancing to Paul's song just made my night though :)
Now Gloria Estefan is presenting with Skeletor. Oh wait, that's Marc Anthony, sorry about that. EAT SOMETHING! Now, pop vocal album is being awarded. I'm only rooting for Bruno Mars. I hope all other 4 lose because I don't like them. Seriously, I don't like Lana, Lorde, Justin, or Robin. YEA BRUNO!! That really is a great CD. He's not a tall man is he? Treasure is a great fun song. Yes, Gorillas is nasty y'all.
Now, Lifetime Achievement winners: Beatles, Isley Brothers, Kris Kristofferson, and some folks I haven't heard of and can't spell on the fly. Now, Jeremy Renner is introducing 2 of the original Highwaymen - Willie & Kris, but adding Merle Haggard and Blake Shelton. They are singing Highwayman, starting with Willie & Kris. Here come Merle & Blake, Merle with Okie from Muskogee. Imagine Dragons is loving it. Apparently, the song is actually a spoof of "good old fashioned values". So it's both patriotic and mocking it. It's two-two-two songs in one! Now it's Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys. Gotta love Willie, he always sings to the beat in his head, not on the drum. Daddy never liked Willie. Always called him a dang long haired hippie. Yep, he's a pothead too haha. Gotta love old county superstars. Heck, back in the 70s, many thought they'd be long dead by now! Now 2 country singers, Martina McBride & Zac Brown, are presenting the award for Best Country Album to Kasey Musgraves for Same Trailer, Different Park. Glad she could repurpose her Christmas Tree skirt to make that dress. That's country resourcefulness! Man, they just cut her off, COLD! haha
Now, HELMET HEADS!!! This apparently is only their 2nd TV performance EVER! And they are performing not only with Pharell Williams and Nile Rodgers, but also STEVIE WONDER! It looks like they were singing in some 70s ski lodge, then some future land. Whoever that is with Katy Perry, he needs to stop trying to dance haha. Where's the shot of Taylor dancing? We saw Barbara Bach singing though. YOKO! Oh Steven Tyler doing some weird 70s disco crap. Bless him, gotta love it haha. I swear the whole auditorium is dancing. Does everyone now know this song? At least it's a good one!
OK that's all for part 4. So tell me, are you ready for more?

It's the Grammy Awards y'all - Part 3!!!
I guess, since he's performing next week at the Super Bowl, they didn't want Bruno Mars performing, so instead, since he's nominated for big awards, they'll just have him introduce P!nk, starting off in the air singing "Try" and still sounding GREAT! Love this song. I wish I could have seen her in concert. Girl is singing, spinning, and flying. Most of these little pop tarts can't even sing while standing still. Now Nate Reuss from fun. joins her for Just Give Me a Reason, but of them wailing at the top of their lungs. AWESOME!!
Now Miguel and Ariana Grande present pop solo performance. I know Miguel can sing and I have heard Ariana can wail. I'm rooting for, in order, Sara, Bruno, Katy, then the others, but Wednesday Addams, I mean Lorde wins for Royals. Ugh.
Did Coldwell Banker just use Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" in their commercial? Well, at least it wasn't that horrid Carrie Underwood version that American Idol used a few years ago.
Now, Ozzy is attempting to say something on the Grammys about the Beatles, but nobody can understand him. Even his bandmate was laughing. Now Ringo, the Beatle least known for his vocals, is performing Photograph. Ringo isn't bad, he's just not known for his singing. Of course he gets a standing O, he's Ringo! Now the always humble Jamie Foxx is presenting best rap/sung collaboration and doing an awful British accent. How's your post-Oscar career going? Don't answer that, I saw your White House movie with Channing Tatum. Yikes. Now Jamie is hitting on Beyonce. Not awkward at all. The winner is Holy Grail Jay-Z and Justin. Ugh, I hate that song. Awful song, plus Justin is on it. He annoys me. At least Justin isn't there. No, I'm not a Justin Timberlake fan for some reason LOL
Oh, a commercial for Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie. I think that's how she got Brad Pitt away from that boring Jennifer Aniston. I approve haha. No, I'm not a Jennifer Aniston fan for some reason LOL
Now, Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons are performing together. This will be great or a great mess. Oh good grief, why are they wearing all white? Ok, Tay-Tay, that's how you head bang and not look like a dang fool. Of course just then, they cut to her in the front row, the only one standing up dancing like a white girl, gotta love her huh? haha. I think Imagine Dragons just became a little cooler than they had the right to. Great job! Oh, now they are all percussion while Kendrick raps. Great camera switching on this too.
Now Kasey Musgraves has to follow that performance with a more low key performance but what a great song in Merry-Go-Round about how people will talk about you no matter what, so just be yourself. Country needs a voice like hers in the worst way. How many songs about trucks do ya need?
Well, that'll do for Part 3, what's next? Wait & see!

It's the Grammy Awards y'all - Part 2!!
OK, we are starting with Chicago and Robin Thicke. Well this should be kinda something. The singer for Chicago kinda seems like a Will Ferrell sketch from SNL. They start with 2 lines of "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?", I would prefer Saturday In the Park or 25 or 6 to 4. Ah! Here's my song :) But how will this mix with Blurred Lines? I mean, this song features a man selling ice cream! Nothing like Robin's skanky song. Oh good, he's going down the aisle to sing because that's NEVER awkward. Well, at least Mrs. Robin Thicke didn't have to worry about Chicago grinding up on her husband with a foam finger and no talent. Chicago still has it after all these years.
Now, Keith Urban and Gary Clark, Jr are performing together. I think Keith Urban has the same hair as Robin Wright did at the Golden Globes. How pretty? First time I've heard Clark. Very rocky/bluesy, nice. Good use of the Fred from Scooby-Doo neckerchief too! Good solid performance from them. Keith can still tear up that guitar. So can Clark.
According to Mental Floss magazine, the Grammy Award was almost called the "Eddie" after Thomas Edison. How perfect would that have been for me and this blog? Oy to the ever loving VEY! Halle Berry has a summer show on CBS? How's that post-Oscar movie career working out Halle. Find a good script. Hopefully this one is.
Now John Legend at a piano and singing. Ladies & Gents, this, along with Bey and Shawn is your R&B portion of the Grammys. No R&B awards on the main telecast. Why, I don't know.. Not so subtle shot of John's model wife over his shoulder. Oh to be pretty and famous. Now, R&B legend Charlie Wilson and Kevin Hart present best rock song, which goes to Foo Fighters and Paul McCartney for Cut Me Some Slack. Paul is a legend and a Grammy favorite, no shock there, even if Paul is working the 1980s dad mullet.
Now, Taylor Swift is going to perform. She's finally gotten to wear she sounds good live. Oh, another person at the piano singing quietly. That makes 3 tonight! They wanted to be original, just like everybody else. It just looks odd to be playing piano in a big long flowing gown. Just doesn't seem practical does it? Now she's head banging and I literally laughed OUT LOUD here at home alone. That just looked so awful, and of course her hair still looks perfect. You know she practiced that move to make sure it looked good. Haha. Bless her dang heart. Her voice does sound miles better than it did when she sang live at the beginning of her career.
OK, that'll do for this part 2. Onward and upward!
Now, Keith Urban and Gary Clark, Jr are performing together. I think Keith Urban has the same hair as Robin Wright did at the Golden Globes. How pretty? First time I've heard Clark. Very rocky/bluesy, nice. Good use of the Fred from Scooby-Doo neckerchief too! Good solid performance from them. Keith can still tear up that guitar. So can Clark.
According to Mental Floss magazine, the Grammy Award was almost called the "Eddie" after Thomas Edison. How perfect would that have been for me and this blog? Oy to the ever loving VEY! Halle Berry has a summer show on CBS? How's that post-Oscar movie career working out Halle. Find a good script. Hopefully this one is.
Now John Legend at a piano and singing. Ladies & Gents, this, along with Bey and Shawn is your R&B portion of the Grammys. No R&B awards on the main telecast. Why, I don't know.. Not so subtle shot of John's model wife over his shoulder. Oh to be pretty and famous. Now, R&B legend Charlie Wilson and Kevin Hart present best rock song, which goes to Foo Fighters and Paul McCartney for Cut Me Some Slack. Paul is a legend and a Grammy favorite, no shock there, even if Paul is working the 1980s dad mullet.
Now, Taylor Swift is going to perform. She's finally gotten to wear she sounds good live. Oh, another person at the piano singing quietly. That makes 3 tonight! They wanted to be original, just like everybody else. It just looks odd to be playing piano in a big long flowing gown. Just doesn't seem practical does it? Now she's head banging and I literally laughed OUT LOUD here at home alone. That just looked so awful, and of course her hair still looks perfect. You know she practiced that move to make sure it looked good. Haha. Bless her dang heart. Her voice does sound miles better than it did when she sang live at the beginning of her career.
OK, that'll do for this part 2. Onward and upward!
It's the Grammy Awards y'all - Part 1!
Good evening everyone. I'm taking a break from movie awards to blog about the Grammys. I am expecting lots of Miley and Justin jokes, because, well, they are easy targets. It's like calling me bald. Really? No kidding, I'm bald, I had no idea! I am ready for these awards. I've been laid up with a bum knee yesterday. My knee darn near gave out on me in the parking lot of the Golden Corral in Oxford, AL while meeting my parents to pick up a few things. Just another day in redneck paradise for me :)
Now, to open the show, it's Mrs. Carter, aka Beyonce. She's in a chair, well, she's straddling a chair with a strobe light & fog machine, and she looks wet. If she had to take a shower after she got there, they shouldn't have put her first, or give her a better towel. Bless it. She's singing Drunk In Love. Maybe that'll be Bieber's defense for his charges. It's starting to look like the Paula Abdul Cold Hearted video with the outfit and chair. Oh looks, she's on a turntable. And there's Jay-Z to do his rap part. The couple that Grammys together stays together. Wait, maybe not, just look at Captain & Tennille. Sad, bless em. Blue Ivy should be happy to know her dad dances like every other dorky dad, or like Bill Cosby from the opening of The Cosby Show. Finally, the requisite shot of Taylor Swift dancing and singing along with whomever is performing.
Now, your host, Mr. Kangol Hat himself, LL Cool J. I still think LL stands for lip licking not Ladies Love. Those helmets on Daft Punk will never stop cracking me up. Super seriously sounding LL is a bit much though. It is funny how he went from Mama Said Knock You Out to "My mama loves watching you on NCIS: LA". They start out with Best New Artist, which goes to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. That's quite a houndstooth tux and velvet tux. Maybe they should have stopped by a thrift shop (see what I did there?). I guess Ryan Lewis doesn't talk? Is he like Teller from Penn & Teller.
Now Lorde is performing Royals. I'm sick of this song. Also, she kinda creeps me out when she performs. It's like she's the girl from The Ring when she sings. And is she supposed to be 16 or 17? Why does she look my age instead? Royals was kinda fun at first, now I'm over it. I'm sure it makes me unhip to be over it, but my musical tastes have never been described as hip. I'm still waiting for Peter Cetera, Huey Lewis, The Bangles and Stacey Q to make comebacks.
In non-music observations, Madonna was wearing a grill in her mouth on the red carpet. Why? She looked ridiculous. I think it would have been better if she wore a Weber gas grill instead. From my friend Jen Rice "I don't want to live in a world where Andy Samberg is seated a whole tier ahead of U2." Preaching to the choir sister. And do Liam Neeson's movies have a screenplay anymore? Or just say "Go save people with your special skills!"? Bless him.
Now country's answer to Justin Bieber (except with talent, no drug problem, and no dbag attitude) aka Hunter Hayes is performing a serious song about self-esteem and being yourself. Easy when you are a pretty boy country star. Sentiment is good though. Is he 5'4" or something? The kid can sing though. Now, pop duo/group performance presented by Anna Faris from Mom and Latin superstar Juanes who looks like a Latin Colin Ferrell except he knows what it's like to have a hit, unlike Colin...BURN!! notJustinnotJustin... Get Lucky by helmet heads with Pharrell and the always cool Nile Rodgers. I guess they don't speak. If they win album of the year...short speech! But why the helmets? I know they are French but they can't be THAT ugly.
Now Steve Coogan from Philomena (Great movie if you haven't seen it. It'll really touch ya) plus he was in Tropic Thunder. He's introducing Katy Perry and Oscar Winner Juicy J (for the song It's Hard Out Here For a Pimp, no I'm not kidding). Wow, this looks like a bad Meat Loaf video. Oh look, her bosom lights up. Is that a broom? Is she gonna fly away? Are they burning her at the stake? Oh dear goodness that was awful. Sing a better song next time.
OK, that's enough for your attention span for now. More to come!

Here's the Golden Globes Y'all - Part 5!!!!!
Now, the Woody tribute. Emma Stone is presenting it because she's in the Woody film coming out this year. After all the, well, unpleasantness with how it ended with Mia, I was wondering if they'd feature her at all. They did just a touch. Diane Keaton now comes out looking sharp as always in a suit and tie. Woody has worked with a lot of great actresses. He has a thing for the ladies. Still, dating your step-daughter, kinda creepy. And Diane Keaton cusses too. Apparently, Hollywood has a potty mouth! Who'd have thunk it?
Now to be a nerd about my career, Diane Keaton accepts for Woody. Then right after, a L'Oreal commercial featuring her comes on. The traffic department at NBC made that happen. That's part of what I did in my job, making sure commercials aired where they needed to.
Now back again, Liam Neeson introduces Gravity. He possesses a special set of skills...in introducing films. Great voice. Why can't I be Irish? Now, Ben Affleck, snubbed by the Oscars last year, presents best director. Just realized Hustle rhymes with Russell, think that's how American Hustle got its title? Hmm. But the winner is Alfonso Cuaron for Gravity. What a brilliant feat of technical movie-making there. Did you see Gravity? Great flick! I love that he made fun of people understanding his accent. Apparently, Sandra Bullock thought he said he was going to give her herpes, but he said earpiece haha. Love it. I've worked with a couple of dear wonderful ladies with accents. I understood them just fine and I love their accents. Just train your ears people, it's not that difficult!
Now Chris Evans & Uma Thurman (odd pairing) present best TV comedy. Late in the show, the banter gets cut to make sure the show doesn't go over. Brooklyn Nine-Nine wins. Golden Globes are better at awarding first year shows. I was rooting for Big Bang Theory or Girls since I stopped watching the other shows at some points in time. Speaking of Girls, I'm taping it right now since it premieres tonight. So yeah, that's my night. Wow, Terry Crews is in a VERY blue suit. DANG! I mean REALLY blue.
Now Jennifer Lawrence presents best actor in a motion picture comedy/musical. I like her with the short hair I have to say. The award goes to Leonard DiCaprio for Wolf of Wall Street. I do want to see it, but my word it's 3 hours long with tons of F words. It's like a Baptist business meeting when they are trying to get rid of a preacher (I kid! I kid!). But 3 hours? DANG! Edit Marty Edit! Now Reese Witherspoon is introducing 12 Years a Slave. It is a BRIGLLIANT movie but very tough to watch. Glad Reese is coming out with another movie. Missed her in good movies. Last time I saw her on screen, she was in Atlanta yelling at a cop.
Once again a movie featuring a real person brings out the real life inspiration for the movie. Rush did it with Chris Hemsworth and the inspiration for the guy who played his rival who was severely burned. That rivalry propelled that guy to get back on the track. Cool huh? Now a pregnant Drew Barrymore is presenting best musical/comedy motion picture. I'm guessing American Hustle. Will I be right? Yes, I will be? Why am I right? Because I'm me, that's all you need to know. Elisabeth Rohm, as awful as she was in Law & Order, she was that good in American Hustle. Good for her. Gotta love it when they play folks off the stage.
OK, Tina's Leo joke? PERFECTION! Now best actress in a drama. I'm sure most will be rooting for Sandra for Gravity, but Cate Blanchett was just perfection in Blue Jasmine, truly perfection. And this is from someone who loved Gravity and Sandra's performance in it. Plus, did you see Sandra's dress tonight? No, just no. Plus, Cate was robbed of a lead Oscar by my sworn enemy Gwyneth Paltrow (Cate for Elizabeth and Gwyneth for Shakespeare in Love). Great speech Cate! Now the lovely redhead Jessica Chastain presents best actor in a drama to Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club. He gave a great performance in it. Tight race between him and Chiwetel Ejiofor. YES!! He did Alright Alright Alright. Who knew you could still have a career and make good movies after being in crap Rom-Coms with Kate Hudson and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Johnny Depp presenting motion picture drama. Ugh, just not a fan of his. Sorry, I know many of you are fans. But does he know where he is? Does he know where a shower is? And the winner is...12 Years a Slave. I was afraid it was getting shut out tonight. It is a great film, not entertaining and tough to watch, but brilliant and harrowing. The performances were amazing and the story stays with you.
Well, that's it everyone. I hope you enjoyed it all. I know the Grammys are in a few weeks so you know I'll be making my thoughts known on that one. I mean, come on! Until next time...

Here's the Golden Globes Y'all - Part 4!!!!
Now, it's time for best Foreign Language film, presented by Orlando Bloom and a mute Zoe Saldana and it's a huge upset as none of the 3 movies some in the US have actually heard of won. Italy wins for The Great Beauty. By the way, apparently Zoe Saldana got a bedazzler for Christmas and went to town on that dress.
Amy & Tiny are back with goblets of something. Now, JLD is back in the TV section and the ladies had to just burn her. It's only fair. Now Jimmy Fallon & Melissa McCarthy are presenting. They are going with the scenario that Melissa got hit on the head by a sandbag and thinks she's Matt Damon. Funny enough, they are presenting the award with Matt Damon as a nominee. How will this work? Hmmm...Best actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries goes to...Michael Douglas as Liberace in Behind the Candelabra. Oh sequins and fur coats. Now he's got a Colonel Sanders goatee. Just saying. And he still thanks Catherine Zeta-Jones, awww, did they ever get divorced? I don't know & don't care really. Stalking on facebook brings my fulfillment of relationship drama and I don't have to go through the shame of reading about it in the checkout line at Kroger like I do with Hollywood stars.
Now, a promo for the new Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. They showed Jay Leno with him as well. Let's hope this time, Jay doesn't get mad and try to take it back. Now Hermione and Captain Kirk present best animated feature to Frozen. I still have to watch it. And if you haven't seen Emma Watson in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, please do, she's great.
Now, Colin Ferrell introduces Inside Llewyn Davis, the new Coen Brothers movie about folk singers in the 60s. I don't think I'll like it. I'm not always a Coen fan. This one has Justin Timberlake trying to act, so that's another reason not to. I do like a lot of their stuff, but it's either LOVE or HATE. Now girl from Game of Thrones is presenting best actress in a TV comedy with Chris O'Donnell. She had Bono giving her a back rub during the announcements and...SHE WON!! This is her first win. So proud for her. She is one of the funniest folks around.
Coming up next, they'll present the Cecil B. DeMille award, the lifetime achievement award to Woody Allen. But he never shows up at these things so apparently Diane Keaton is accepting for him. My very favorite Woody Allen story came recently from his son, Ronan. Ronan tweeted a couple of years ago "Happy Father's Day, or as they call it in my family, happy brother-in-law's day." haha. But now Mia says Ronan could be Sinatra's son, so who knows. Gotta love Hollywood huh?
OK, that'll do for this section. I'll have the last hour be all together. Almost done kids!

Here's the Golden Globes Y'all - Part 3!!!
2nd hour, it's starts with the Australian guy from House, the guy dating Gaga (and wearing some horrid blue jacket, did she dress him?) and some woman with big messy hair who's apparently dating Johnny Depp present best supporting TV actor to Jon Voigt and his scarf. As odd as Angelina Jolie can be, her dad is still a bit odder. Caught a glimpse of Edie Falco and it looks like she was putting away her Christmas decorations and the bow on top of her tree got stuck to her dress. Bless her! Ray Donovan just didn't look like the kind of show I'd watch, so I didn't.
I almost wondered why Olivia Wilde had a beer gut, but I remembered she was pregnant so it's ok. I mean unless she's drinking like that while pregnant but I doubt she is. She's introducing the movie Her. I can't wait to see this. Joaquin Phoenix usually creeps me out, but he doesn't seem to in this. But Rooney Mara who was in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is in it and she DOES scare me, more off screen than on. Now Robert Downey Jr. hilariously introduces the nominees for best actress in a comedy/musical. He tells how he's a winner no matter who wins because of what they can do for him haha. Amy Adams wins for her brilliant performance in American Hustle. She was FANTASTIC. I hope she gets an Oscar nomination (as long as Cate wins the Oscar). She gave such a heartfelt speech. And as low cut as that dress is, we can just about see her heart. And commercial
Kyra Sedgwick & Kevin Bacon introduce Miss Golden Globe, always a child of stars, their daughter Sosie Bacon. That's a name. Then Tina & Amy barge in as Tina and her son Randy who apparently is the son of Harvey Weinstein. Bless Randy's heart. Now best actress in a drama goes to NOT CLARE DANES!! Good, I am over Homeland. I was rooting for Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black (Great show, check it out!!) but Robin Wright wins for putting up with Sean Penn all those years. How else do you explain Madonna winning for Evita? Look at our Jenny Gump, Lord make her a bird so she can fly, far far away!
Now Jim Carrey arrives to big applause, mainly because they weren't screening one of his recent films (really, what's been up with you Jim?). He's introducing American Hustle, a fun train ride of a movie. Now Christoph Walz presents best supporting actor to Jared Leto for Dallas Buyer's Club. He was brilliant in this film. Heartbreaking. Jared looks a little greasy and after weirdness at first, he settles into his speech.
Russell Crowe and Colin Ferrell are co-starring in some weird Irish fantasy film coming out next month. It looks bizarre and I have no idea what it's about. I hope it's awful so I can go see it & mock it. If it's boring I'll be disappointed. Now Emma Thompson comes out with a martini and her shoes off and is flipping hilarious for best screenplay. The award goes to Spike Jonez for Her! Big upset over American Hustle. I remember Spike making many of the best music videos of the 90s. Which ones? Buddy Holly by Weezer, Sabotage by Beastie Boys, It's Oh So Quiet by Bjork, Praise You by Fatboy Slim. How's that for a start? Now Laura Dern is on introducing Nebraska starring her dad Bruce Dern. Everyone all at once...AWWW! I do want to see this film too. Big Alexander Payne fan.
Look, Amy & Tina are back. They were gone so long until the Miss Golden Globe presentation, I thought they were backstage doing body shots off Channing Tatum or something. Now, Seth Myers (who can't leave SNL soon enough for me) and Julie Bowen (who was so charming on Ed) present best actor in a comedy to Andy Samberg for Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I gave up after a few episodes. Should I start back? Andy Samberg always sounds and looks like a 15 year old. Even his wife looks like they walk to homeroom together.
OK, that looks like enough for part 3. Y'all sick of me yet? I am ;-)
Here's the Golden Globes Y'all - Part 2!!
The first half hour had a lot going on, so I went ahead and published it while it was still in a size made for short attention spans. Amy & Tina started with fake foreign journalist names. They cut to a shot of Gwyneth Paltrow opening a bottle and looking bored. That's pretty much how I look when I watch a Gwyneth Paltrow movie (cue rimshot). Now Jonah Hill & Margot Robbie introduce The Wolf of Wall Street, but the prompter has the wrong words. Whoops, but they handle it well. Who watched "Superbad" back in the day and thought "That Jonah Hill, one day he'll be an Oscar nominee and be in a Scorsese movie"? Yeah, not me.
Now, Aaron Eckhart & Paula Patton present best actor in a TV drama. Paula Patton had some sort of fabric alien monster attack her dress. Bless her. Funniest moment, Michael Sheen's daughter was about to take a sip of something to drink when the camera got on her. Her eyes got HUGE. Yes, funny. It's not like she was mortified or embarrassed for life so don't worry. Bryan Cranston wins for Breaking Bad as America's favorite meth dealer. And now, best TV series drama, because why go in any particular order. Breaking Bad wins best show. I was totally rooting for The Good Wife though. It's my favorite show on TV right now. I'm actually taping it tonight while the Globes are on. Well, DVRing it, but since I'm almost 40, I guess I still say tape lol.
Commercial time. Then all the fake air kisses and all. Watching some of the pre-show because the ballgame wasn't close at first, apparently Taylor Swift is best friends with every actress under 25 in Hollywood: Lena Dunham (explain that one), Jennifer Lawrence, Sarah Hyland from Modern Family, and Kelly Osbourne too. Not just friends, but BEST FRIENDS. She wears me out.
Now introducing the movie Philomena (which I want to see) about a woman who tries to find the son who was taken from her 50 years before, the writer/co-star, Steve Coogan (from Tropic Thunder) brings out the real Philomena. That's a very sweet moment. And now, Usher is onstage with Kate Beckinsale (ex-wife of Michael Sheen by the way) and Sean "Puff Daddy Puffy P. Diddy Now just Sean" Combs. That's quite the trio. They present best score to All Is Lost. He has long hair that he piled on top of his head so it looks like a bird's nest. Turns out Sean Combs partied with him on a boat in St. Baart's, Puffy came up behind him, unbuttoned his jacket and said "Let it flow!" No, I'm not kidding, I can't make this stuff up. Hopefully the award for this guy comes with a free shower. For a movie that takes place all in the water, he looks grungy. Now best song: Coldplay, Disney musical, U2, JT, Taylor Swift. The award goes to U2 for their song from Mandela. Good, I love U2. I want him to have an Oscar because I'm odd that way. Plus, it's a good song. I love how Puffy made the announcement of the award all about him. One day Puffy will come out of his shell. I love how The Edge first of all still calls himself The Edge and how he always has that hat on. Don't stop being YOU The Edge! Great tribute to Mandela by Bono at the end.
Well, that'll do for your part 2! Hey that rhymes! I'm a poet and didn't know it. Hey THAT rhymes too. Are you ready for Eddie? ONCE AGAIN! I rock!
Now, Aaron Eckhart & Paula Patton present best actor in a TV drama. Paula Patton had some sort of fabric alien monster attack her dress. Bless her. Funniest moment, Michael Sheen's daughter was about to take a sip of something to drink when the camera got on her. Her eyes got HUGE. Yes, funny. It's not like she was mortified or embarrassed for life so don't worry. Bryan Cranston wins for Breaking Bad as America's favorite meth dealer.

Watching some of the pre-show because the ballgame wasn't close at first, apparently Taylor Swift is best friends with every actress under 25 in Hollywood: Lena Dunham (explain that one), Jennifer Lawrence, Sarah Hyland from Modern Family, and Kelly Osbourne too. Not just friends, but BEST FRIENDS. She wears me out.
Now introducing the movie Philomena (which I want to see) about a woman who tries to find the son who was taken from her 50 years before, the writer/co-star, Steve Coogan (from Tropic Thunder) brings out the real Philomena. That's a very sweet moment. And now, Usher is onstage with Kate Beckinsale (ex-wife of Michael Sheen by the way) and Sean "Puff Daddy Puffy P. Diddy Now just Sean" Combs. That's quite the trio. They present best score to All Is Lost. He has long hair that he piled on top of his head so it looks like a bird's nest. Turns out Sean Combs partied with him on a boat in St. Baart's, Puffy came up behind him, unbuttoned his jacket and said "Let it flow!" No, I'm not kidding, I can't make this stuff up. Hopefully the award for this guy comes with a free shower. For a movie that takes place all in the water, he looks grungy. Now best song: Coldplay, Disney musical, U2, JT, Taylor Swift. The award goes to U2 for their song from Mandela. Good, I love U2. I want him to have an Oscar because I'm odd that way. Plus, it's a good song. I love how Puffy made the announcement of the award all about him. One day Puffy will come out of his shell. I love how The Edge first of all still calls himself The Edge and how he always has that hat on. Don't stop being YOU The Edge! Great tribute to Mandela by Bono at the end.
Well, that'll do for your part 2! Hey that rhymes! I'm a poet and didn't know it. Hey THAT rhymes too. Are you ready for Eddie? ONCE AGAIN! I rock!
Here's the Golden Globes Y'all - Part 1!
I'm so glad Amy & Tina are hosting the Golden Globes. They are truly genuinely funny folks. Meryl Streep's work in August: Osage County proves there are still good roles for Meryl Streeps over 60. Yep, I think Meryl pushed Glenn Close, Susan Sarandon, and Sigourney Weaver off a cliff. Best joke so far though was about Gravity "the movie shows that George Clooney would rather float off into space and die rather than spend one more minute with a woman his own age." Great reaction shots from co-stars Sandra Bullock and Julianna Margulies. YES YES!! I know, George Clooney used to be on TV on a show from the 90s called "ER". Medical dramas used to be big. George Clooney was actually on 2 shows called ER. Only one of them you remember. Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a too cool film star now that she has a film nomination, puffing on her eCig and blowing off Reese Witherspoon, priceless! Go JLD (just don't beat Amy yet again).
Great monologue from Amy & Tina, now onto awards. Tom Hanks & Sandra Bullock came out of the audience to present. Yeah, that was odd. The winner was Jennifer Lawrence for her super fun turn in American Hustle. I thought it'd be the wonderful Lupita Nyong'o but I guess not. But Jennifer is very worthy. I'm no fashion plate, most of my clothes come from Kohl's so I guess I have room to grow, but is Julia Roberts wearing a blouse tucked into her dress? If so, why?
Now, TV supporting actress. Golden Globes does something odd. They don't divide it up by comedy/drama/movie, it's all in one. I was thinking half pint little Nashville girl would win it. I still remember that she was on Guiding Light years & years ago. Now she plays the slutty version of Taylor Swift on a primetime soap. You've come a long way baby! But the legendary Jacqueline Bisset wins. It's her first win in 5 nominations. I think Jennifer Lawrence's career hasn't been around as long as it took her to get up on stage. TV apparently has to sit in the very back like Baptists ready to get out of church right at noon. She's still talking, cussing, even though the music is playing. SHE JUST DOESN'T CARE!! NBC missed one of her words so the S word went out over the air. I hope you aren't offended. If so, I guess you'll just have to live with it. Nothing you can do.
Naomi Watts, whose appeal I just don't get, is presenting Best Movie/Miniseries with Mark Ruffalo who's always great. Behind the Candelabra wins, defeating American Horror Story. I figured that one, it really was the bigger deal, and AHS is a bit of a mess at times. Now, for best TV movie actress, the winner is Elisabeth Moss for Top of the Lake. Glad she won, she's always so good on Mad Men and never gets recognized. I tried watching Top of the Lake, but got bored early. I think I should try again. Oh, Moss cusses too, but at least they caught this one. I think she deserves an award because she was able to be & stay married to SNL weird guy Fred Armisen for a few years.
Now Matt Damon introduces Captain Phillips. I haven't seen this one yet but I want to. It looks really tense and good.
Well, that'll do for part 1 don't ya think? I think so too!
