Golden Globes- My live blog 9

So that's it. My first live-blog. I had fun while it lasted, I hope you did too. Jef did ;)

Best Picture Drama. Slumdog? Yes it is. The movie's theme song is so catchy and bouncy, I want to get out of the couch and dance. Does this make Slumdog a front-runner at the Oscars? Hmm, maybe not. The academy is much more homogenous than the Hollywood Foreign Press, they will still probably vote for a traditional Oscar-worthy looking film, like Benjamin Button.

Okay, Best Actor Drama. I want Brad to win, but I think he won't.

Mickey Rourke won and he is given a standing ovation. Hollywood really loves comebacks. Mickey gave a good shout-out to his director, Darren Aronofsky, who is also Rachel Weisz' husband. He also just said SOB on air, I thought they still have broadcast delay? He also said balls at least twice. Now they are going to have a longer delay for the Oscars, just in case Mickey wins again.

Golden Globes- My live blog 7

Will Anne Hathaway win tonight, as the HFPA's erroneous press release showed? We have to see Rachel Getting Married to check out if she is really good.

It is discomforting to watch and hear Sacha Baron Cohen in his real voice. And he skewered the people in the room, and was met with a lot of groans. He can just go back to being Borat, or not. Vicky Cristina Barcelona won the Best Musical or Comedy award.

A lot of light-colored gowns tonight. Salma is spilling out of her gown.

Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical- Colin Farrell. At least he looks like he took a shower. Totally out of the left field, even he is shocked that he won.

Best Director. If Danny Boyle wins, then Slumdog wins Best Picture. I hope David Fincher wins. Uggh, Danny Boyle won.

Okay, now its makes sense while Slumdog is sweeping the awards, it's the Hollywood Foreign Press Association who is giving the awards, and of course, these foreign journalists will go for the one movie with the strongest international appeal.

Golden Globes- My live blog 6

A montage of Spielberg's films. He has done a lot of really amazing films, both as a director and producer. Totally deserving of the Cecil B. DeMille award and the long standing ovation. Maybe he is the Best Director that we will ever see in our lifetime. Great speech too, and what an amazing storyteller.

Jane Krakowski looks fat, but she is really sexy. Best Actress in TV Musical or Comedy. It's Tina, no doubt. And she won again. She is really on a roll. She doesn't have a cleavage, well, she can't have everything. And she knows she is very lucky. And she said the internet has all the people who just hate her, and she just told them that they all suck. She is really funny. First speech too that got a lot of laughs.

Kate Beckinsale looks nervous. Slumdog Millionaire just won for Best Original Score. Is it going to win Best Picture Drama too? I really like Button, but this movie is good too.

Glenn Close looks too shiny. Best TV Series Comedy or Musical. It should be 30 Rock. And it is. Tina Fey is still on a roll. She will win Best Actress too. Tracy Morgan is funny, he said he is now the face of the show because Barack Obama won.

Best Actor in Mini-Series or TV Movie. I think its Paul Giamati. And it's him. Megan Fox looks hot. She should not try to be Angelina Jr. and just be herself.

Renee Zellweger looks like a hag. I hate the mermaid tail of her dress, the see-through top. Bad all-over. Why is she presenting The Reader? Just because Anthony Minghella, one of the departed producers of the film, directed her in Cold Mountain, where she won her Oscar?

Leo and Kate are sitting together. They really look good together.

Amy Poehler looks radiant, Patrick Dempsey looks so McDreamy. Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy. I knew it's gonna be Alec Baldwin. Alec, say something and not just thank yous. Hey his speech was short, not funny.

Seth Rogen's spiel sounded inappropriate and unfunny. Best Screenplay, I want Benjamin Button to win. But Slumdog Millionaire just won. It's a good movie too. Reminds me so much of Manila.
