Golden Globe Thread

[bigwillq]

Ok, I am an awards show whore.

I love the movies, and I love watching all the award shows.


So let's dish the Globes!


:bounce: :hi:

[Bluebear]

1. Jennifer Hudson dedicating win to Florence Ballard = class act! nt

[bigwillq]

3. Yes indeed.

:hug:


I wonder what Diana thinks??!?!?!

[ronnykmarshall]

84. Could you all hear me crying over that?

I was so happy for Jennifer and I'm sure Florence's daughters and Mary Wilson loved her speech.

[bigwillq]

2. Did anyone just see J. Timberlake

make fun of Prince???


:rofl:

:spray:

[LibraLiz1973]

6. the funniest thing EVER!!!

so great

[bigwillq]

7. He's a funny dude

SNL is proof of that.

[Shell Beau]

42. I did laugh at that. Prince took a shot at JT first.

[bigwillq]

46. When did Prince do that?

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

49. A while back when JT's song Sexy Back came out.

He said sexy wasn't back because it never left. And said something else that I don't remember now!

[Maddy McCall]

4. Patricia Arquette's dress's bodice looks like an innertube.

:evilgrin:

[bigwillq]

5. I always found her to be creepy.

It looks like she got fat too.....not that there's anything wrong with that.....just saying.

[Maddy McCall]

8. You know who I find creepy?

Lindsay Lohan. She has no neck. And she wears stirrup pants and witch boots.

And Penelope Cruz. Can't explain it. I think it's that her head's too little for her body, and she probably diddled Tom Cruise.

(Dang, I'm mean tonight. :D )

[bigwillq]

9. I hate Lohan

She's way too skinny.....I guess I am judgemental of all people, tto fat, too skinny...what is my problem. :P


I hate Penelope too. I think she's UGLY! There I go again! :)

[Maddy McCall]

10. Tonight we're allowed to be catty bitches.

They put it out there. We get to critique it.

:D

[bigwillq]

15. That is very true!

:bounce:

[philosophie_en_rose]

11. Britney Spear's neck is as thick as her head.

There. I said it. I'm mean, shallow, and catty. :bounce:

You're right about Penelope Cruz, but at least she wears underwear.

[Maddy McCall]

13. LOL

You're right. It is!

:rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

12. Yay! Hugh Laurie won!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

14. I was hoping Bill Paxton would win for "Big Love".

Can't wait until it comes back on.

[philosophie_en_rose]

17. I wanted Michael C. Hall to win for Dexter.

but I like Big Love too (though the women are better than Paxton, I think).

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

18. I agree the women definitely are better than Bill, but he's the only

one from the show that was nominated...

[lildreamer316]

16. HILARIOUS speech!!

I hope someone puts that up somewhere. Love it.

[Shell Beau]

43. I love Hugh Laurie! He was hilarious too!

[Kutjara]

81. Yay indeed! And did you notice that...

...Hugh's old comedy partner Stephen Fry was there, sitting next to Tony Shaloub (I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall for that conversation). Fry is brilliant in his own right but it was great that he was there supporting his friend.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

22. I absolutely adore Meryl Streep.

I watched The Devil Wears Prada this afternoon and she was amazing as always.

[MichiganVote]

25. Me too!

[bigwillq]

26. My dad met her

at a package store in Newtown, CT.

She also came in (I was not there) to the little gay bar I always go to in New Haven, CT. This was years ago.

She signed a menu. It's hanging up on the wall now.

[MichiganVote]

27. I think she must be one of the most interesting women in my lifetime

I'd surely like to meet her. Fascinating career.

[bigwillq]

29. I would love to hang out with her.

She seems so down-to-earth and cool.

[MichiganVote]

31. Dinner with Meryl and Helen Mirren (sp?) Elizabeth the I

To die for

[bigwillq]

32. Did you see the latest Entertainment Weekly?

And interview with Judi Dench, Meryl and Helen.


A great read.

[MichiganVote]

34. No, I'll have to look for it. I love all three.

[ronnykmarshall]

85. Me too

and I loved her speech.

[bigwillq]

23. Thanks for posting this info.

:hi:

[deucemagnet]

28. No prob!

:hi:

[wildhorses]

20. okay guys--

i am trying to be all highbrow and live simply

and i gave up TV a couple of years ago--just use it to watch dvd's


but, HOT DAYUM i SO wish i was watching the globe with y'all:cry:

i will be at a friends to see the oscars but, i won't be able to post:shrug:


myabe heaven is getting to watch the oscars and post with y'all at the same time:rofl:



























how effed up am i that i give up TV but want to watch the globes just so i can be a catty bee-yotch?

[blonndee]

21. Ooh, my Kate looks like a goddess

as usual. :loveya:

[bigwillq]

24. Awesome speech by Ms. Streep

:bounce:

[Zuiderelle]

30. It was fantastic.

She never thinks only of herself. I have so much admiration for her.

[CBHagman]

33. What a great speech from Bill Nighy!

What a witty guy, and what a classy one. Note how he pointedly recognized Miranda Richardson, who is such a fantastic actress.

Nighy's having a great year, what with a triumphant turn on Broadway in The Vertical Hour. I suspect he may be on stage when they're handing out the Tony Awards, too.

The British are not only coming, THEY'RE HERE!

[bigwillq]

36. Just remember who gives out the awards.

The Hollywood FOREIGN press.....that's why so many non-Americans win.

[blonndee]

37. I loved him in Love Actually.

I don't think I've seen him in anything else, but now I really must!

[Maddy McCall]

35. Annette Benning. Every time the camera's cut to her...

she's had the wine glass up to her lips, and she hasn't even put it down when her name is being announced as a nominee and the camera is honed in on her. LOL.

[Left Is Write]

38. I'm watching it an hour delayed from most of you. Jeremy Irons is accepting now...

Helen Mirren looks radiant.

[philosophie_en_rose]

39. Here's a Link to the List of Winners (So Far) & the Videos of Speeches

http://www.hfpa.org/nominations/index.html

[bigwillq]

40. Hey, thanks for posting that link.

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

41. I love Kyra Sedgwick's dress.

Can I use that in the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game? :D

[SCDem]

44. Yeah another win for Ugly Betty

with America Ferrera - I love it :)

[bigwillq]

45. Her speech was wonderful.

What a classy, intelligent, beautiful young lady.

[girl gone mad]

48. Yeah, that was sweet.

Most of these people are under contractual obligation to do the awards shows. She actually sounded like it meant something to her.

[bigwillq]

47. I hate Tom Hanks.

Hey, Tom, you're not funny. You never were.


He's given out the DeMille award to Warren Beaty.

[Shell Beau]

50. Aw, I enjoyed that! I love Tom Hanks though!

[bigwillq]

51. What the hell is Warren Beatty saying?

:shrug:

He's such a fool.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

52. Sorry, bigwillq, I disagree...

He's one of my favorite actors. I think he's wonderful.

Loved the line about Arnold :rofl:.

[SCDem]

53. I thought it was tacky what Hanks said about Beattty's

past love life

Annette Benning and Warren Beatty have been married for like 15 years now. They are truely devloted to each other.

I understand it can be "funny" but I just think it was classless.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

55. It was Tom Hanks attempt at humor

and a poor one at that...

BTW I love Annette Benning as well. She's an outstanding actress.

[SCDem]

57. I think she's wonderful also

and love her acting as much as I like her politics.

[bigwillq]

56. The arnold line was good

I'll give him that.


I think he's a great actor....I just don't like him personally.

[springhill]

79. Why don't you like him personally?

What in the hell do you base that on? Some of you guys are just the most judgemental people on earth.

[bigwillq]

88. I just think he's a fool.

He has that typical full-of-himself Hollywood attitude. I don't find him very likable as a person, sorry my opinion. I am SURE :sarcasm: that you've never felt like that about any one in Hollywood.

[Zuiderelle]

54. Sacha Rocks!

Cute too. :bounce:

[hopein08]

66. I almost didn't recognize him, but he's very cute!

:evilgrin:

[jcrew2001]

69. Funniest accpetance speech ever!

Breathing in the fart!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

83. it saved his life

[Manifestor_of_Light]

78. I love Sacha!!

Saw Borat and laughed my arse and several other parts off!!!

He's brilliant and cute too!!!
I'm permanently scarred from seeing the nude fight in the movie between him and his incredibly obese producer!!!


EYE BLEACH PLEASE!! As they say on FARK.

[aaronbees]

58. Forest Whitaker .... yes!

I haven't seen this film yet, but have always loved his work .... he's really paid his dues and this is nice to see!

[blonndee]

59. Man, Kate didn't win.

Nothing against Helen Mirren, and she was the favorite, but Kate keeps getting nominated and not winning. I think she's such a fantastic actress and I can't wait until she wins a major award. She won a SAG in 1995 but I think she's long past due.

[Corgigal]

60. Dreamgirls

Now on to the Oscars. Hurray for a musical.

[girl gone mad]

61. That was super boring, overall.

I don't know why i keep watching these things.

[SCDem]

64. Last year's was really good and really funny

Lots of good speeches, funny speeches - this one sucked -

[jcrew2001]

70. not boring

Warren was good/funny because he's a legend and he's sitting with Jack, Dustin, and Clint, Hanks.

There were a lot of legends and great films/actors tonight.

Borat's speech will go down as a classic.

Brad and Angie looked hottt.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

62. Well, Ahhrnold was obviously the surprise guest..

Loved the line about having his papers in order. :rofl:.

Now onto the Oscars..

Will Martin Scorese finally win one???? I sure hope so even though I haven't seen The Departed yet.

BTW, when will the Oscar nominations be announced?

[bigwillq]

63. Jan. 23

Oscar Nominations

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

65. Great only a week to wait.

Thanks bigwillq and thanks for starting this thread. Very enjoyable...
:hi:

[bigwillq]

77. Thanks for participating in it.

:hi:

[jcrew2001]

71. arnold sucks

He should just switch to (D) because he's just a RINO. Just admit it already Arnold and stop sucking bushes little yah know.

The Departed is based on INfernal Affairs, a great Hong Kong thriller which is almost the same plot. I recommend you rent it. Fortunately I can understand some chinese, but they have subtitles and voice-overs.

Kinda ironic that if Marty wins, it won't be from an 'original work' but a remake.

However, most of Marty's movies are bio-opics and have no plot, he's said Departed was his first film with a plot - so hopefully he'll finally get his win!

[zonkers]

67. Is it over ? Did they do the "guys and gals who died" montage?

[CBHagman]

68. I don't recall seeing it.

I suspect they didn't air it this year.

[bigwillq]

75. Surprisingly no

I thought they do that at all award shows. I guess not this year.

[Radio_Lady]

80. They do the "death montage" at the Oscars awards.

[zonkers]

82. I think you're right. But you'd think they'd have their own. The death montage always tears me up.

[CBHagman]

86. I think most award shows do it.

I'm fairly certain that there has traditionally been an "In Memoriam" film at most awards shows, such as the Emmy Awards and the Golden Globes.

The Academy Awards virtually always air the tribute segment, but sometimes they leave people out, either due to oversight or the death being so recent that the footage of the honoree's career hasn't been added to the tribute clips.

[Radio_Lady]

89. It's a reminder of our own mortality. Thanks for your comments.

[Flaxbee]

72. wait - who won best actress mini series or motion picture made for

TV?


Nominees:
Gillian Anderson – Bleak House (PBS)

Annette Bening – Mrs. Harris (HBO)

Helen Mirren – Elizabeth I (HBO)

Helen Mirren – Prime Suspect: The Final Act (PBS)

Sophie Okonedo – Tsunami, The Aftermath (HBO)


Who who who? Can anyone help me? It's not on the official website yet...

[aaronbees]

73. Helen Mirren for "Elizabeth I"

Good night for her.

[Flaxbee]

74. yay! Thank you...

I was hoping she'd win for Elizabeth I or Prime Suspect. I love Helen Mirren...

[bigwillq]

76. She also won

for Best Actress in a Dramatic Movie for "The Queen"

[terrya]

90. She's a lock with Best Actress at the Academy Awards.

It's the only Academy Award I'm absolutely sure of.

[BuddhaGirl]

87. Did anyone see Alec Baldwin's expression when as the

camera cut to him when Ahhhnold's name was announced????

Fucking hilarious!!!
