Every year, I get together with a handful of friends to watch key award shows and lob catty comments at the screen. The Golden Globes seem to be held in ever-declining regard by the industry, but the siren lure of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler co-hosting this year's ceremony was enough for my group to gather and continue our tradition. So, without further ado...
Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. are seated at the same table, which is apparently the Crazy Section. (Current, former, it doesn't matter.)
Bill Murray looks like he's recently bought a 19th century cotton plantation.
If they thought they were going to have tamer hosts by not going with Ricky Gervais, they were sorely mistaken. (Fantastic slams on James Cameron and James Franco.)
Kate Hudson may have her dress on backwards.
Christoph Waltz is so nervous, he's almost channeling Woody Allen.
The theme of tonight's dresses seems to be "neck to navel cleavage." (Center side boob?)
I think I saw this woman from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in the movie Brazil.
Damian Lewis shows us that if you stop opening your mouth all the way when you speak, you too can win an award.
Apparently, the banter for Salma Hayek and Paul Rudd was judged to be too poor to be shared with us.
You'd think a CIA agent would know how a microphone works.
Adele is wonderful. Besides seeming genuine and charming, it's just fun when someone's speaking voice sounds nothing at all like their singing voice.
The running gag of inserting Amy Poehler and Tina Fey among the nominees is a winner.
The theme of Kevin Costner's speech seems to be "I'm famous now."
It's interesting to see how starstruck all the stars are by Bill Clinton. The HFPA took a big risk that he wouldn't give one of his trademark lengthy speeches.
I'm not sure what's funnier, Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell's introduction, or Toomy Lee Jones' reaction to it.
Megan Fox's dress is made of papyrus.
When do we get to sign Anne Hathaway's cast? Oh, wait, that's her dress.
Quentin Tarantino is an "I LOVE YOU GUYZZZZZ!!!!" drunk.
Another theme of the night seems to be Wonder Woman bracelets on all the women.
We're not wild about Claire Danes' wind tunnel hair, but she seems to be about the only woman wearing color tonight.
It seems like a strategically placed centerpiece is hiding a completely naked Morena Baccarin.
Not sure what Sacha Baron Cohen's intro has to do with animated movies, but okay...
Is Liev Schreiber shooting another Wolverine movie?
It looks like if Lena Dunham doesn't keep her arms spread, her dress will fall right off.
Jodie Foster's wearing chain mail.
Halle Berry's dress kind of makes it look like she's had a mastectomy.
Ben Affleck wins the award for Best Director, in a wonderful and thorough "screw you" to the Oscars for failing to even nominate him.
It seems like Josh Brolin went so far in learning to impersonate Tommy Lee Jones for Men in Black III that he may never go fully back to himself again.
Nobody had better stand in front of the teleprompter when Christian Bale is speaking!
Jeremy Renner is looking a bit Errol Flynn-ish.
Another theme of the night is "second chances to thank people you forgot."
Jessica Chastain apparently asked for a dress that would make her chest appear to be at her waist.
Daniel Day-Lewis has "There's Something About Mary" hair. He's also showing us that he comes off as brilliant as he does on screen because of skilled writers.
Well, Argo certainly would have been my pick of those films. Does this do anything to swing the Oscar race?
