Golden Globes "live" blog

So, last night, I sat on the couch typing up my "live" blog of the Golden Globes for over 3 hours. When I was done, something weird happened to the computer, and half of my post disappeared. At that point, after spending my entire afternoon (football) and evening (GG's) in front of two screens, I was like, screw it! I give up. But today I feel like posting the remnants, so here they are...

The show starts with Ricky Gervais doing his opening monologue, with a glass of either beer or apple juice on the podium. I'm guessing it's beer...

I love that Ricky just shamelessly mentioned that the only reason The Tourist was nominated was so Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp would show up to the show. Did anyone even see that?

Boardwalk Empire shout-out! So, I stopped watching the show halfway through the first season... It was really good though, and I'll be cheering for it.

To celebrate the year of her birth, Scarlett Johansson dressed to to honor the year 1983. Yikes. That dress is wild.

Best Supporting Actor in a movie: Christian Bale. He basically just said, "Hey thanks to my costar for being so boring and drab, so that everyone noticed how awesome I was." Not a fan of him. Cut your hair and get off stage.

Julie Bowen - love the dress. Looking at her still makes me feel sad about LOST being over. I know - I have a problem.

Best Supporting Actress: Katey Segal for Sons of Anarchy. Dave is screaming loudly at this point, as he is obsessed with that show. I know nothing about it, but I support her win, because, again, she's a LOST alum. (speaking of, how was LOST not nominated for anything?? this award show = officially not credible)

And now for the nominees of Best Miniseries or TV Movie. A Tom Hanks-produced series about a war was nominated in this category and DIDN'T win? Bold move, Hollywood Foreign Press. Bold move.

"Please welcome Ashton Kutcher's dad, Bruce Willis!" - Ricky Gervais. And that's why they pay him the big bucks.

Best Supporting Actor in a TV series: Chris Colfer for Glee. GLEE!! That show went downhill quickly, but he's great in it, so I support this win. During his speech, they cut to Lea Michele crying. What a diva - she can't even let her costar have his own moment.

Annnnnnnd the most exciting part of the broadcast so far - a promo for Parks & Rec, which is back this week!

Alice In Wonderland is nominated for Best Movie? Wasn't that on a bunch of "worst of the year" lists?

Eva Longoria looks great. Looks like she successfully removed all of those "9" tattoos.

Best Actor in a Drama: Steve Buscemi! I called it! I like this win. He honestly sounds like a genuine, nice guy.

Best Drama Series: Boardwalk Empire! Dang - now I really wish I had kept up with this season.

J. Lo is rocking some weird Miss America-wedding dress thing, but I love it:


Best Song: Ugh, who cares. When the nominees include two songs from Burlesque and one sung by Gwyneth Paltrow, can you really be proud of winning?

Best Original Score: Trent Reznor and Atticus Somebody for The Social Network. I haven't seen the movie yet (it's been on my "to watch" list for a while...), but just based on the awesome trailer with the Radiohead song sung by a choir, I have no doubt that the rest of the music in the movie was perfect.

And now - they have two teens announcing the nominees for Best Animated Film. If Toy Story 3 doesn't win, I'm turning this show off. And they do! While accepting the award, the producer looks at Bieber and True Grit Girl, the presenters, and says, "Were you two even born when the first Toy Story came out?" Bieber - yes. True Grit Girl - no. Wow. I feel old.

Best Actress in a Movie goes to Annette Benning. I wanted Emma Stone to win, but only so I could see the full-length view of her gorgeous dress:

Well done, Emma. My only concern is the blonde hair. Remember the last up-and-coming redhead who dyed her hair blonde? The Lohan. You don't want to go that route, Emma. Dye it back and don't go the way of the Lohan.

Next up: Al Pacino wins for something. The only thing that I took away from his speech is that he's 70 years old and still calling the woman he's with his "girlfriend." There's gotta be a better term, at that point in your life, right?

Claire Danes wins for Temple Grandin. I'm loving the hot pink dress:

And, unfortunately, that's where my post cut off. I wrote a lot more. What happened to it? I'll never know.

The only other thing I wrote about after this, that I can remember at this time, is that Natalie Portman gave an extremely awkward acceptance speech, which I attributed to pregnancy hormones. If you want to see a hilarious video of her laughing, please go here: http://www.bestweekever.tv/2011-01-17/lets-watch-natalie-portman-laugh-a-couple-of-times-in-a-row/

That's all. Next time, hopefully I won't accidentally delete my work. Or I just maybe will decide not to spend the entire day in front of the TV.
