Golden Globes 2012

Thought I'd start a thread for the Golden Globes in case anyone else will watch. It's on tonight. I haven't seen any of the pictures nominated but watch a couple of the tv shows.

Anyway, here are the nominees

i thought 'my week with marilyn' was a drama?

and, idk who i should root for, boardwalk empire or game of thrones.

I thought the Marylin movie was a drama too.

I only saw the pilot of American Horror Story and keep waiting for the rest to show on tv or "On Demand." It really captured my interest enough to think it could win best drama.



TIS

I see Ricky Gervais is hosting the show again, i'm sure he'll be as controversial as ever..

Although he gave some laughs I am not really crazy about his humor and did think he went a bit far last time. He seems downright mean.


TIS

I don't think I'll watch much. I'm only interested in:

TV Drama: Boardwalk Empire vs Game of Thrones (happy w/ either, but no Breaking Bad?!!!!)
TV Drama Actor: Buscemi (Empire) vs Cranston (Breaking Bad) vs Irons (The Borgias)
TV Comedy/Musical: Glee (haven't watched any others)
TV Movie/Mini: Cinema Verite (Gandolfini, tho he's not nominated)

I think he's brilliant..

his humor is really weird, but i like it as well...and, he only takes shots at those who seem to deserve it because of pass or present problems

I had only heard of him and only saw him at any length on the last award show. I realize I'm likely outnumbered in my opinion but that's how I see it.



TIS

He got a great deal of flack because of his comments last year. However, if they wanted something different, then picking him was pretty stupid.

I'll probably watch (hopefully, the Giants game will be over and I can wrestle the remote away from my husband by then), if only to see who's drunk....

we wont see it, but geoff will more than likely be drunk lol

One thing I like about the Golden Globes is it's on early here (5:00 p.m.) and done by 8:00 thus I won't miss Desperate Housewives (which I'd probably watch instead of GG anyway). I like to to see who's wearing what, and who's with whom, so I'll probably watch the Red Carpet at 4:00 (7 EST)


TIS

TIS, why don't you get a DVR? Then you can record one thing and watch another?

Well there aren't usually too many conflicts in shows and most of the shows(if I miss them) are on HBO On-Demand where I can see them if I miss them. But yea, I know everyone has DVRs. Some day.


TIS

I see Evan Rachel Wood, who is up for supporting actress in Mildred Pierce, is on the Red Carpet. I DID enjoy that movie.



TIS

funny jokes so far

Ricky Gervais had a good intro -- kinda short. TIS, watch the original (UK) The Office and you'll probably like him. It's better than the US version by far!


...or maybe BAM the comedian should host next year!

George Clooney is so hot!




TIS

if the bears are in the playoffs i would lol

So far not too bad. I do like Kate Winslet. Mildred Pierce is one series I did watch and enjoyed.



TIS

is 'the boss' any good?

Kelsey Grammer won over Steve Buscemi? Anybody see his show?



TIS

NONE of them! Kelsey Grammer got it.

NEITHER!! WTF! Never heard of HOMELAND or BOSS... sheesh.

i heard 'homeland' is good...but still over game of thrones

hey geoff you might want to check out 'the artist' it will remind you of your childhood years lol

I love Jimmy Fallon

Never heard of "The Artist" either


TIS

black and white silent movie

Madonna wins for best song "Masterpiece." She looks better than she has in recent days (FWIW).



TIS

Bam, you've heard of the Artist?


I don't see True Blood up for anything this year.





TIS

i have heard of it a couple weeks ago...some were saying this was going to take up a lot awards.

Michelle Williams wins for "My Week With Marylin." She looks totally different. Nothing like Marylin.



TIS

i bet the movie is good

Best Supporting actor:

Game of Thrones Peter Dinklage


TIS

Yes, I wouldn't mind seeing it. I really don't know much about it.

TIS

Woo woo George Clooney.
He should get an award just for looking good!!


TIS

Jessica Lange (American Horror Story) wins. She forgot to comb her hair though.


TIS

quick question, was she in 'a streetcar named desire' with marlon brando...or is it a different version?

The Artist is supposed to be great. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo just scares me.

She was in a later version but I don't remember what year.

SB,

Dragon Tattoo does sound scary.


TIS

hoffman

Bridesmaids just doesn't appeal to me at all.


Bam, you're probably not tuned into it as much, but there's some nice gowns this year.


TIS

Best Actor Comedy: Matt LeBlanc Episodes (never heard of it)




TIS

ill leave the gown talk with you, sb, and geoff lol

the help is a great movie and book

LOL I'm not surprised.

Ricky isn't as bad tonight, or maybe it's because he seems to have less air time than last year no?


TIS

less airtime, but theres still a hour

I have it DVR'd, so I'm not watching live. I just saw the Best Screenplay Award go to Woody Allen, who couldn't be bothered showing up. I don't know how far behind I am.

Wow, Sidney Poitier doesn't seem to age much. A little grayer, but he looks great.



TIS

SB,

There's an hour left to go.

I was commenting that there were some beautiful gowns tonight, however that's not Bam's thing. Anyway, nothing outrageous.

TIS

does he still act though?

I don't think he acts much anymore Bam.

I never realized how many good movies Morgan Freeman has made. Always did like him too.


TIS

I can tell you whose gown I DID not like - Jessica Lange! She was so gorgeous, and she has NOT aged well. I know she's in her 60s, but then don't wear that gown with your saggy back hanging out.

Sorry to be so judgmental. I'm a pig, I know.

I did love how Kate Winslet and Madonna looked. And Jessica Alba-WOW! And Zooey Deschanel looked as adorably crazy as always.

to bad, i won't mind seeing a movie with morgan and sidney in it

Don't be sorry. My daughters and I always would watch and pick our favorites and worse. That's the fun of sitting on the couch judging all the beautiful women's attire. Jessica Lange looked a bit scraggly I agree.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is getting trashed for her dress. It does look like it's tie-dyed.

TIS

Last year Ricky really got on Robert Downey Jr.

Btw, Ricky is still scarce.


TIS

Scorsese wins for Hugo

i really don't know why he did that, its not he did something stupid like gibson.

Gellar's dress was downright ugly. Clooney's girlfriend is one tall drink of water. What is she - like 6'2"??

Okay, they just silenced something Ricky said about Antonio Banderas and Selma Hayek. Did you catch that Bam? They banned more than one word. I got the impression he said he couldn't understand either one of them.


TIS

Btw, is that Dustin Hoffman's real hair?

I don't know why? Does it look like a toupee? I didn't notice.



TIS

i caught that as well, i wasnt sure if he said a wrong word or something else...

the artist is getting a lot of awards

I am way behind you guys. I just saw Morgan Freeman win. What a class act he is! And so many of my favorite movies!

I had no idea it was black & white and is it silent as well? I like that era, but would have to be in the mood to see it.

SB,

You're a little behind, probably 45/60 min.


TIS

Ricky said the Colin Firth is racist?



TIS

it was a joke lol

Meryl Streep wins for "The Iron Lady." I think it was a given from the start that she'd win. They talked oscar right away.



TIS

i think she just cussed a lot there lol

Although her performance has been praised, the movie itself has gotten mixed reviews.

Is it just me, or do the women's arms (notably Jolie and Pfeiffer) look skeletal???

Yea I was wondering. LOL For some reason I don't picture her cussing.


TIS

I didn't notice Pfeiffer but Jolie always has a skeletal look to her. Jolie looked a bit Pasty to me.

TIS

when ever the artist comes out i will watch it

Best Actor: George Clooney



TIS

I think that cute little dog onstage during the acceptance speech for The Artist should replace Ricky Gervais next year!

i saw that coming...sucks that j.egdar didn't pan out

Really? For some reason I was surprised Clooney won.



SB,

Yea that little dog was cute. Cuter than Ricky.

TIS

is there no memorial thing?

Wow The Descendent wins best picture? Geez, I'm just hearing about this movie.


TIS

Not sure. They did a the People's Choice I think and maybe at the Oscars.



TIS

What is it about George Clooney? He's handsome, but there are more handsome men. Why is he just so damn attractive? My husband says it's because he's so easy-going and relaxed.

Edit: Damn! I'm live now!

I think he's very handsome and kind of suave/debonair, if you know what I mean. There's a smoothness about him and his personality makes him seem likable. Even as he ages, he looks great. I mean, come on!! When you're hot you're hot!

TIS

I'm watching the 11:00 news now to see Ricky's reviews, plus they're going to talk about the clothes!

Another gown I hated - Jessica Biel's. She's so beautiful, and she looked like she was wearing her grandmother's gown.

Give Dustin Hoffman a break,,,he just did THREE YEARS!!!!!

THREE YEARS!!!! Did that show start yet?

He's the rare breed who apparently get better looking as they age.

Want my theory to pile-on yours and TIS's? I say it's the salt & pepper hair. He might've looked good in his youth prime, but once his hair started going gray....BAM! sex magnet.

Please don't mention BAM and sex magnet at the same time -- he might get the wrong idea...

But ladies... who likes gray hair? I don't (on myself)... I don't think I look any better w/ gray hair (I said "better", not "good")... just curious...

Homeland is fantastic. Just saying.

Well I know most women don't like gray hair, at least on on them. Guess it's a vanity thing. But, let's face it, women are thought of as old when they gray but men have always been thought of as distinguished. Not fair, but that's the way it is.

That being said, not all men with gray hair are hot like Clooney. Hell, he was hot way back in his Facts of Life days (ever see old clips?). I don't remember his father's first name, but even now, he still looks good (not as good as George.) It's likely a combination of personality, style, how he carries himself and genes. Some men just "have it."

TIS

Was nice to see the Brits win some awards.

How was "Downton Abbey" received in the states?,has any body watched this, my GF loves this show.

I don't know about States, it did well in the Emmys for the 1st season. Personally loved 1st season, but season two was all over the place. Christmas special was fine though.

thanks for the compliment lol

LOL Good one Bam!

FROM THE DESK OF KIM NOVAK
I WANT TO REPORT A RAPE.
I FEEL AS IF MY BODY—OR, AT LEAST MY BODY OF WORK—HAS BEEN VIOLATED BY THE MOVIE, “THE ARTIST.”

The film could and should have been able to stand on its own without depending upon Bernard Herrmann’s score from Alfred Hitchcock’s VERTIGO to provide it more drama. Much of VERTIGO‘s music was written during, not after, filming—that was the way Hitchcock worked. The Love Theme was woven musically in with the puzzle pieces of the storyline. In my opinion, the combined efforts of the composer, director, Jimmy Stewart, and myself were all violated. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SPEAK NOW. They didn’t need to use what I consider to be one of the most important love scenes in motion picture history by playing the VERTIGO score and using emotions it engenders as if it were their own. Even though they gave a small credit to Bernard Herrmann at the end, I believe this to be cheating, at the very least. Shame on them!

IT IS MORALLY WRONG FOR THE ARTISTRY OF OUR INDUSTRY TO USE AND ABUSE FAMOUS PIECES OF WORK TO GAIN ATTENTION AND APPLAUSE FOR OTHER THAN WHAT THEY WERE INTENDED. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO SAFEGUARD OUR SPECIAL BODIES OF WORK FOR POSTERITY, WITH THEIR ORIGINAL AND INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES INTACT AND PROTECTED.

I know Kate Winslet is a fine actress and is English so i should applaud her any success......however she bugs the tits off me!!

Her waffly pompous speeches at these events leave me cold. As we say round my way, she has disappeared up her own arse

"Disappeared under her own arse?" LOL I like that. I like Kate. She was great in Mildred Pierce.

TIS

She does come off as the snooty Brit stereotype that the average American can't stand.

Exactly!!! She is nothing like any Brits i know....and i know plenty of em

snooty brit...sounds like geoff to me lol
