Golden Globes, part 12

[cleolinda]

Dane Cook out to present Thank You for Smoking. I could get away without commenting on this at all, but I feel compelled: Dane Cook does absolutely nothing for me. Nothing. Not even "But he's cute, y'all!" No. Far cuter men are a dime a dozen in Hollywood. Jennifer Lopez did not, however, get one of them. Yes, that's my idea of a segue. (What? I'm writing in real time here, people.) She's here to present Best Comedy/Musical in a one-shoulder black dress to... Dreamgirls. Please, someone tie Jamie Foxx to a chair. Fortunately, they only let the producer talk... and they totally cut him off after like one minute. "And I should Tell You I'm Not Going now, is what I should do!" Then: "And I'm sure we'll be advertising [this win] in about ten seconds!" Okay, that made me laugh, because it's true.

Normally I would let this entry fly as is, since we've hit another commercial break, but... one award. That's just ridiculous.

Courtney Cox and David Arquette, quickly down to business with the TV drama nominees: Grey's Anatomy wins. Seriously, I think they took all of twenty seconds for the entire transaction there. Shonda Rhimes accepts and thanks "every single writer," God bless. "I'm STARING at Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman, this is surreal! Thank you! SO MUCH!" Hee.

Here's Philip Seymour Hoffma... whoa. That... that is a very blue necktie. One might go so far as to call it... electric. Except that one wouldn't want to awaken the giant carnivorous mustache some inches above. Best Actress, Drama: Helen Mirren. If she weren't so awesome, I'd start complaining that the whole thing isn't even sporting. "In 1952, a young woman named Elizabeth Windsor literally walked into the role of a lifetime, and I feel like this award belongs to her... you fell in love with her, not me. But she already has one, the scepter..." Heh.

On to Part Unlucky Thirteen!

I happen to love Dane Cook :P Hee.

And I totally squeed for the Grey's win. Whoo!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Dane Cook does absolutely nothing for me.

You too? I think he's funny and it's not like he's NOT cute, but he's not the end-all, be-all the way everybody makes him out to be. Plus, the fact that he's nailed every skank in Hollywood in the past two years isn't all that appealing either.

GREY'S WON!!! ::jumps around the room for five minutes:: The cast is seriously looking spectacular, if less adorable than the UB cast.
I... am not sure I want to know what is going on with Philip Seymour Hoffman's mustache, there...
Oh, I'm so happy about the GA win. (Love that guy telling Shonda "You have twenty-seven seconds.")

Damn it, that moustache comment has only strengthened my resolve to waterproof my monitor. ::goes to mop up::

[sorcha-chasdubh.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Poor Leo...

[luna-k.livejournal.com]

I know right? I thought for sure he'd get it for one of those movies.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I didn't -- usually when people get nominated twice in these categories they cancel each other out. I watch a ton of awards shows, and I can only remember once when someone won in a category where they'd been nominated twice other than Helen Mirren's win tonight for Elizabeth I.

[enid-keaner.livejournal.com]

Most likely, Leo split his vote. Some probably thought he was best in The Departed, some though he was best in Blood Diamond.

But...I thought Forest totally deserved it.

[luna-k.livejournal.com]

I thought I was the only one in LJ-land who didn't completely adore Dane Cook. *clings* Seriously, he's boring and irritating.

[sound-of-bells.livejournal.com]

Finally somebody who agrees with me about Dane Cook! I just don't get it. I really don't.

I was hoping for Little Miss Sunshine but Dreamgirls didn't at all surprise me. That's the industry, right?

I agree about Helen Mirren. She's just so incredible that it's hard to get upset about it... but it is kind of ridiculous, when you think about it. :P

Hmm, methinks Forest Whitaker is perhaps a bit drunk. Something's going on... maybe he's just really, really affected?

[sorcha-chasdubh.livejournal.com]

Was Dreamgirls really that good? I've heard mixed reviews from people I know...

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It's worth it at the very least for Jennifer Hudson's and Eddie Murphy's performances. They're two of the best performances I've seen all year.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I heard very early advance-review raves about it, and then a mild backlash recently from people who were like, "Okay, it's not the life-changing experience people are saying it is." You could say the same thing about Babel, though.

[barrelgoddess.livejournal.com]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

(I wanted 24 to win. ;_; Bauer~)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know my mom's going to be unhappy about that.

[obigrrl.livejournal.com]

who the hell is Dane Cook?

[barrelgoddess.livejournal.com]

Beats me.

[sorcha-chasdubh.livejournal.com]

He's a comedian.

[obigrrl.livejournal.com]

stand up? movies?

should i know him? LOL

[sorcha-chasdubh.livejournal.com]

Both actually. Movies--Waiting, Employee of the Month.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

He does standup and those cheap stupid comedies the early-twenties-male in your life probably thinks is the SHIT.

[obigrrl.livejournal.com]

ha! that tells me all i need to know, kthx!

[sorcha-chasdubh.livejournal.com]

Stupid?!? C'mon, I'm surprised Jessica Simpson wasn't nominated for any awards....

[brittastic14.livejournal.com]

please tell me you are joking

[sorcha-chasdubh.livejournal.com]

Haha. Of course I am.... :)

[brittastic14.livejournal.com]

lmao

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Depending on who you ask, he's either the funniest person on the planet -- quite possibly EVER -- or ... you know, just another comedian.

[obigrrl.livejournal.com]

LOL...is somebody a bit biased? *wink*

what's he been in?

[obigrrl.livejournal.com]

d'oh! never mind! question answered above!

sorry about that! LOL

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Heh. Maybe a little. His standup's good, I'll give him that, but I really don't get the spazzy enthusiasm my friends have for it, much like my annoyance over why everybody I know goes ballistic over Myspace and I'm just ... meh.

He's in Waiting and Employee of the Month. He's also nailing Jessica Simpson, at least he was the last time I checked.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

He's a very MySpace comedian, isn't he? Actually, I think he literally used MS to promote his shows.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. Speaking of things I don't get the appeal of, Myspace is waaaaaay up there.

[sorcha-chasdubh.livejournal.com]

I'm completely addicted. *hangs head in shame*

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I keep telling people that it's all flashy lights and loud noises without a heart or a brain and everybody looks at me like I'm deranged.

(Dude, I lurk on the TWoP Top Chef forums. I know from shame right here.)

[sorcha-chasdubh.livejournal.com]

"Governor, I swear I have my papers in order..." Ha!

[silvercake2000.livejournal.com]

I've been a cheerleader of Dane's for years. Personally, I think he's the shiznit. I guess it's different when you've watched someone go from being not well known to being everywhere. Now he's got hype to live up to, I guess. He's not for everyone, I know. But I love him.

C'mon Helen Mirren, leave some awards for the rest of us ;) I am so happy this is her night.

[brittastic14.livejournal.com]

I agree with you on Dane, I'm not his biggest fan but I dont mind him. I just hope he doesnt let his ego take over(if it already hasnt).

and claps for Helen! if anyone can play BOTH Elizabeth 1 and 2 and win for each, she can!

[pscopathictiger.livejournal.com]

I have to say ICONLOVE!

and my favorite Dane Cook skit is "Struck By a Vehicle"

[brittastic14.livejournal.com]

LOL thanks! I am also in love with your icon as well. I'm a total Tim Gunn fangirl.

I love that skit as well as the one about the christ chex
