Dick Clark just called the Golden Globes the biggest Hollywood bash of the year. Pssst ... Dick, remember the Oscars?

UGH. Jesus, is it entirely necessary to start every one of these shows with an overly stupid remix of a trendy song? "Hey Ya"?! That Charlie Brown video should jump up and down on top of this idiotic opening.

Eww, Pacino has a ponytail. *shudder*

Best Supporting Actor ... Aw, Meryl's never opened an envelope before. That's kind of cute. And it's Tim Robbins. My lack of surprise is ... uh, yeah. But he did a really good job, so I can't complain. (Although I was rooting for Alec or Ken, but whatever.) I liked his speech a lot, and he made for a very sweet ending with the thanks for his family.

Best Actor, TV ... The Sex and the City chicks are probably going to be really grateful not to be shoved into pictures together after next year. Anthony LaPaglia?! Sweet! I love him. I've only gotten to see one episode of "Without A Trace", but he was the most amazing actor on it. Hee! And I knew he was married to one of the chicks from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," who looks really good without the big hair.

Best Actress, TV ... Frances Conroy, pretty. Jennifer Garner, pretty. Ehh. Ehh. Amber Tamblyn, pretty. Frances Conroy! Again, sweet. She's never won, has she? Good for her. Ooo, her gloves are so gorgeous. Now that's how to look elegant even if you're not Charlize Theron the ex-model type.

Best Supporting Actress ... Holly Hunter's hair is amazing. Who didn't see Renee's win coming? Although I always like it when Renee accepts an award because she sounds genuinely grateful and sweet. Ack ... did Nicole Kidman ever make a bad hairdo choice. Okay, Renee, let someone else accept an award. Okay. Any day now. Oh, sweet Jesus, does Jude look hot tonight. How many calories do you think I burn just looking at him? *curious*

******

Oh, God, somebody kill Dick Clark. Please. I realize it'd probably take a nuclear bomb and several voodoo rituals, but still.

Finding Nemo! Yay! Awwwwwww. And they showed Allison Janney after it was over. Very cool.

Lily Costner is so gorgeous. I'll give Kevin credit, he's got good genes.

Best Comedy, TV ... Monk! Office! Please win ... Oh, I can't begin to describe my love for that Office clip. ... Am I the only one repelled by Sex and the City? And it goes to ... The Office! YES! Hee ... love that shot of the cast of Will and Grace toasting their loss. That was classy. Eee ... Martin Freeman looks so cuddly, and I think I've falled in love with Ricky Gervais, the big jerk.

Ooooo, I'm having a sordid love affair with Uma's dress. Or at least, I am in my head.

Best Miniseries or Movie, TV ... Angels is so going to win. Oh, wow, does Troy Garity look hot in that Soldier's Girl clip. See, told you Angels in America would win. How great is it that this won? And I missed it! Oh, please come out on DVD soon. *worships all that talent on one stage* This is such a nice, classy acceptance speech.

Best Actress, Miniseries or Movie ... Go, Meryl! Yay! "I just realized you can see completely through my dress." Hee! That's okay, Meryl, you're standing next to Uma, so no one's looking. Ah, if there's anything Meryl can do perfectly, it's accept an award. Hell, she's had enough practice. "And I'd just like to say that I don't think that two people swearing to love each other for the rest of their lives and steroids in sports are the worst problems this country has right now." HA! Nice way to close out the speech, Meryl.

*****

Cold Mountain ... ugh. Am I the only person who hopes it doesn't win anything other than Best Supporting? 'Cause Renee can win, but ... just, NO.

Cate Blanchett's maternity dress compliments her so well. I completely forgot she was pregnant when I saw her on the red carpet. Well, until she turned sideways, of course, but still, very nice.

Best Actress, TV Comedy ... Excuse me, I'm going to vomit. Sarah Jessica Parker? Again?! And of course, she'll go up and say she had no idea she was going to win. Jesus, stop acting so fucking nervous. You've won how many times now? Why is it that Meryl can get up there and act classy and sweet, yet you get up there and stammer stupidly like that? *throws things at Sarah's head* I'm so happy your selfish ass is going away.

Christina Ricci looks so very simple and nice. Ooo.

Supporting Actor, TV ... Jeffrey Wright won, and I can totally get behind that. Anybody from Angels in America would have made me happy. Actually, they was a stacked category, 'cause everybody was deserving.

******

Robin Williams is introducing Master and Commander? WHY?! Oh, man, this clip is depressing.

Best Actress, Comedy ... Go, Scarlett or Diane ... Yay! Diane Keaton! *loves*

Best Actor, Comedy ... Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill ... YEEEEES! I think I just had an award orgasm. I know what it's like. I had one last year when Adrien won. Yay, he thanked Sofia! And I liked the crack about not forgetting the dramatic actors, especially considering most of the comedy category consists of "serious" actors. Jack Black, perform at the Oscars! I beg you!

******

Ooo, Bend It Like Beckham ... Hey, they're playing "Darshan"! I get Indian dance music on the GG!

Hee, Jim Belushi appreciating Molly Sims.

Best Drama, TV ... If the West Wing wins, I'll throw up ... 24? That works for me. I don't watch it, but then again, it wasn't like the show I did watch would win. Why give C.S.I. any awards, right? Bitter? Me? Why do you ask? See, this is why I hate the Emmys.

Best Actor, TV Comedy ... Love Jennifer's dress. Anyway, the Golden Globe goes to ... Ricky Gervais! YES! I think I love the Golden Globes. "Please wrap up-- Bye!" Hee, that was cute.

******

"Soon to be seen in ..." Dude, mention he was in LOTR! Wow, Peter Jackson's wife has incredibly beautiful eyes. If this doesn't win Best Drama, there is no God. Seriously.

*squeals* Uh, Gwen Stefani's hair frightens me. So anyway, Best Original Score ... Howard Shore! Good! Great! Better than great. Considering his competition -- I could have sworn the guy who did Cold Mountain's score also did O Brother Where Art Thou -- this bodes well for LOTR's other nominations. Well, I suppose someone had to tell their child it was bedtime sooner or later.

Best Song from a Movie ... Can I just say I hate all of these songs with the exception of the Annie Lennox song? Where the hell is "School of Rock", damn it? At least that song kicked a little ass. ... Okay, so the Annie Lennox song won. Good. Maybe they can nominate a song or two for the Oscars that actually has a beat you can dance to. Hint, hint. Uh, Howard, you should have just let her end the speech with that very nice reference to the dead guy. Just saying.

Is it wrong that when they said Jennifer Lopez hits the stage next, I was kind of hoping they'd finish it with, "... at a hundred miles an hour after being dropped from an airplane?"

******

Aw, that's kind of cute, Nicholas Cage introducing Sofia's movie. Lost in Translation ... God, I love this. SEE THIS MOVIE. You have been ordered, and damn it, you'll appreciate it.

*shudders* J.Lo? Las Vegas called, one of their showgirls wants her dress back.

So, yeah. Best Screenplay, Original ... YES! Sofia Coppola! Never act again, honey. Thank Scarlett, sweetie ... oops. You're going to get called on that one in the press room.

Best Supporting Actress, TV ... Please, no Sex and the City. Ick. Go, Mary Louise! YAY! Everybody I like seems to be winning. Well, with the exception of the Sarah Jessica debacle. See Mary Louise? She had a baby two weeks ago. Feel free to ooze jealousy. HA! She thanked her son for her boobs.


EDIT: I'm taking a break during the Cecil B. DeMille award. Listening to Michael Douglas make with the speechfying ... eh, thanks, but no thanks.

When Peter won I saw Dom was crying and I started crying too.
Brittany Murphy is an idiot.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Brittany Murphy is an idiot.

Which, of course, goes without saying. :)

[fairestcat]

Glad to know I'm not the only one doing a running Globes commentary. Well, semi-running on my part. You don't know me, but I'm norabombay's roommate. I came over here because she said "um yeah, you and Trollprincess are the same person."

I have to agree with you on the Pacino ponytail thing. He just looks really really bad tonight. Al, go talk to Bill Murray. That is how to age gracefully and look good.

Jude, um yeah. I lose the power of speech every single time the camera turns to him.

And in answer to your questions about Cold Mountain and Sex and the City. No, you're not the only one at all.

Hi, there! *waves*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

At one point during Bill's acceptance speech, I stood up, pointed to the TV screen for my roomie's benefit, and yelled, "I want to have sex with that man simply based on his talent alone!" Although hell, I'd do him just for looking that good at his age.

Al, meanwhile, should have ducked backstage and had Meryl accept his award for him. Yes, let's quietly ramble incoherently for three minutes. Thanks bunches, Al.

And you think this is bad, you should see me Oscar night. I've been known to scream at the TV and hurl vile epithets at the screen. (This year, I'll be doing so if Bill doesn't win Best Actor.) Oscar nominations in two days ... and you'll know the exact time of 'em, too, because you're close enough to hear my mournful wails if Sean Astin doesn't get nominated.

Re: Hi, there! *waves*

[norabombay.livejournal.com]

We are having an Oscar party.

4600 Duke, Alexandria.

Feel free to come over. Might even have a new tv by then.

Re: Hi, there! *waves*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ooo. I might take you up on that offer. It only depends on whether or not my friend mostlynormal1 has an Oscar party like she said she was thinking of doing, since I already said I'd go there.

But her plans looked kind of tentative, so if there's no party at her house, I'll probably find a way to get to yours.

And thanks for the offer! :)

*waves back*

[fairestcat]

Oh, I'll be joining you in those wails for Sean Astin too! Nominate the man goddamit. Nominate him. Last year, I made norabombay drive us to work so I could listen to the oscar noms on the radio, since I had to leave for work right before they were announced.


Really, I think I could give you a run for your money oscar night. It sorta frightens my friends. Last year at the oscar party there were death threats to anyone who dared to talk during U2's performance.

And the screaming and the vile epithats: yep, done that too. The sad thing is that I actually haven't seen most of the movies this year, although I plan on getting to a few more before the oscars are handed out.

Re: *waves back*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Okay, here's what you must see if you haven't already ...

1. Monster -- Charlize won for a reason, and it wasn't just the physical. Good God, did I love that performance.

2. Lost in Translation -- Dude, I loved this more than RotK, and I have the One Ring inscription tattooed on my arm. That says something.

3. Mystic River -- Just a warning, you'll either love it or hate it.

Also, rent Seabiscuit, Bend It Like Beckham, and Finding Nemo if you haven't seen them yet.

At last year's Oscars, after they announced Adrien Brody as Best Actor, I'm pretty sure the neighbors thought I was having wild monkey sex with some Adrien guy they'd never met. All I did was yell "Yes!" and "Adrien!" for five minutes straight.

Was going to post in my own journal, but am way too lazy. Here is a summary.

Congratulations about Bill Murray, trollprincess!

LoTR. Woot!

What the heck is Angels in America?

[laughingrat.livejournal.com]

Michael Douglas always makes me want to throw things, usually at him.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Aw, he's married to Catherine Zeta-Jones. He's obviously a masochist and would enjoy being assailed by flying objects aimed for his head.

[laughingrat.livejournal.com]

Well, anything to make him happy. :)

[dexwebster]

If it's any consolation, I'm pretty sure Pacino's hair is like that for a role he's filming right now. He's playing Shylock in Merchant of Venice.
