Best of The Golden Globes

Published in Widowism by chefswidow

I love watching The Golden Globes. They remind me of my first days as a New Yorker and one of my first nights out with the Chef. We hadn’t moved in together & I was staying in Times Square (blech). He took the train to meet me & we went bar hopping. We hopped from tourist to trap to tourist trap and finally ended up in a quaint little bar that was having a golden globes party. It was incredible. Our bartender was amazing and passionate and hilarious betting (and doing shots) on each award presented. Ever since that night the Chef & I share a special fondness for the globes. Last night was no different, except we weren’t doing shots & both mini’s are devastatingly sick (again). We had fun watching the awards and here are a few of my faves from the last nights show:

Best Dress (that I could never pull off):

Chloe Sevigny ruffles the red carpet

Best Dressed that will most likely end up on Worst Dressed List

Drew Barrymore rocks out a Atelier Versace gown

Hottest Female of The Golden Globes

There is a reason Olivia Wilde is married to an Italian prince

Worst Dressed

Just because you’re funny Tina Fey doesn’t mean you should look funny.

Best Moment of the Awards. Best Acceptance Speech. Best Everything!

Robert Downey Jr. made the awards worth watching with his illuminating speech and brilliant gratitude for his wife. Love it.

Who were your faves of the 2010 Golden Globes? Any upsets that you couldn’t believe?

***Today is MLK Day. I hope we can all take a moment today to reflect on the world that would be had MLK not existed. We are all connected. We are all one.

Sorry to hear the minis are sick. Hope they feel better soon. My fave moment was Meryl Streep’s acceptance speech for Julie & Julia. She was so great in that movie. Did you watch the E! red carpet special before the Globes? Was Guiliana Rancic drunk or what? Yikes.

I liked Tina Fey’s dress in a “What Not to Wear” it defines a waistline and draws the eye to the face kind of way. It followed the rules, if you will, in my opinion.

Drew Barrymore’s dress would have been better if it only had one of those weird accent thingies. The one that looks like a fanny pack on her hip – that one needed to go.

Also, Avatar? Haven’t seen it and I’m already over it. I’m rooting for anything BUT that to win best picture.

Dude! I didn’t even know they were on last night. I have to say this much though: I like Tina Fey’s dress! Shoot me! Hahahaha. I guess it might be because I think it might be something I would wear! Anyways, I was busy setting up the new TV with the chef and cleaning house. Oh well

I thought Sofia Vergara’s dress was really cool. What was with all the peach gowns? Ricky Gervais’s comment about his cheek implants made me spit a little wine out!

I honestly think that Robert Downey Jr. gets cuter as he gets older…if thats possible.
