I can't help--I really like the Ellen DeGeneres dancing commercial. I don't even remember what it's for; she just seems like someone I would enjoy hanging out with.

The announcer is very excited that Coach Carter is #1 at the box office this week. This is not a hard feat in January, y'all. Also, that's kind of rude to Jennifer Garner, whose Elektra movie is apparently tanking like a mofo. Samuel L. Jackson presents an Incredibles clip.

(Go back to the comments of the first entry for reader commentary on Her Cateness's excellent dress.)

Meryl Streep is also wayyyy mellow. She congratulates "Natalie," and there is a shot of Emmy Rossum (among many others) laughing at her. Wrong starlet, camera guy! There is a clip for some American Family movie that is about a lot of shouting. Also clips for Iron-Jawed Angels and The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, which I need to see--shit! I never saw the Glenn Close Lion in Winter! I LOVE THAT MOVIE! Shit. Here's Something the Lord Made, which I heard wasn't all that great, but does have Alan Rickman doing a Southern accent going for it. Peter Sellers wins. People no one cares about file up to the stage to accept. (I'm sorry, that's mean. If I'm ever involved in the wonderful world of movies, I will be one of those people, so I shouldn't talk.)

Some TV award. Goran Visnjic and Megan Mullally present. Wow, I remember when no one gave a shit who Zach Braff was. How far we all have come. Awww, they nominated Matt LeBlanc for Joey. That's so... kind of them. I bet Jason Bateman will win, because... well, he does. But I was going to say, "Because the rest of this lineup is kind of crappy." I think I was going to say that because I'm feeling exceptionally catty tonight--I don't even watch any of these shows, y'all, so how do I know?

Cleolinda : oh, it's Goran. Get your hate on*

Vladimir: X-(

*Look, it's a Croatian thing. Ask him. I think he's cute, myself.

I'm refreshing my friends page every few minutes because of you. ^_^ (And also watching the Globes, which I probably wouldn't have otherwise.)

Not watching, but loving your commentary. Also, the pictures.

Hurley in a tux OMG: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050117/ids_photos_en/r1293211926.jpg&e=47&ncid=

Oh, and? While Jennifer Garner will always be my biggest female crush, I can't feel too bitter about her losing to Mariska Hargitay because I like her too. So... *shrug*

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

OMG I LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH.

*coughcough.I.think.Goran's.cute.too*

Admittedly curious about the hate...hmmmm...

I would also SO dance with Ellen in the elevator to "Respect." I mean what kind of stick-up-your-ass kind of person would you have to be to NOT want to dance along?

In a nutshell, he's a son-in-law of Antun Vrdoljak, one of the most corrupt people in Croatian politics, also a filmmaker himself. While the national cinema was being slowly killed by Vrdoljak, Goran was getting a Hollywood agent and being groomed for stardom. Amn't saying that he's either bad or ugly -- just that he's the American spillover of a horrid political system that the country had to endure for a whole decade.

Does the explanation make any sense? Didn't think so.

Ouch...

[missdiane.livejournal.com]

Perhaps also a bit of daddy-in-law knowing someone that knew someone that got him into American movies and he's basking in the Hollywood glow while things back home are going to hell in a handbasket?

I can see how you'd want to spend an evening melting Practical Magic dvd's. Sorry, m'dear.

Re: Ouch...

[vladimirsever.livejournal.com]

...hmmm, amn't despoiling DVDs just to spite Goran. But yeah, he starred in a Vrdoljak movie that totally stole the Croatian national film awards this year, and was much of the suck. Many people got snubbed yet *again* because of his *American clout*.

Eh well. Thanks for understanding :)

[darkviola.livejournal.com]

Dude. Bad, Goran, bad.

[mustang-bex1126.livejournal.com]

I volunteer to discipline him.... heehee...

Anywho-Makes good sense to me, I'm a Poli Sci major, working very hard to get a grip on "foreign" systems, as I'm from Nevada USA. Yo-JUST started learning about the, as my Prof says, Former Soviet Block... But Italy is in crazy badness that sorta echoes it right now... Berlusconi is a CRAZYSOMEBITCH yo! Freaking FACISTS are making a comeback people, this is trouble!

I'm really enjoying "watching" the Globes via your LJ. I hate watching 'em, but I love hearing about 'em. :P

[wokeupinnacar.livejournal.com]

OMGWTF. NICOLETTE SHERIDAN'S DRESSED! *ker-thud*

[darkviola.livejournal.com]

BWAH!

[wokeupinnacar.livejournal.com]

And she looked... nice? for once. I'm impressed. Who'dve thunk she'd clean up so good. LMAO That's the Southerner in me dying to get out. *supresses*

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

What - oh yeah, some doctor show.

(I was going to ask what TV show Zach Braff is on, but then I remembered. Sort of.)

[gershwhen.livejournal.com]

Sorry, must stand up for "Something The Lord Made" -- I thought it was excellent and a great portrayal of that time in history. Plus, Alan rocked (and we got to see him in silk pjs, but that's beside the point.)

It also won an Emmy this year -- so it wasn't totally killed by critics ;-)

Am loving the recaps....

[mustang-bex1126.livejournal.com]

just an echo... HERE HERE

And 'mad props' to Mos Def, whom I hope will never appear on the Surreal live, because I really think he's talented.

[ayrdaomei.livejournal.com]

I never saw the Glenn Close Lion in Winter! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!

I was so, so glad that she won, because she absolutely blew me away as Eleanor. I know it's really blasphemous to say, but I think I preferred her performance over Hepburn's - and I LOVE me some Katharine Hepburn.

I love that commercial--right til the MasterCard tag. Ellen is awesome.
