Golden Globes liveblog #2

[cleolinda]

Ew, what is this, a Pussycat Dolls song? Well, at least they don't seem to have rewritten the lyrics in some horrific way. I still haven't gotten over what Monday Night Football did to "I Hate Myself for Loving You." Here we are, with Jennifer Lopez in WHOA THAT IS SOME GOLD FABRIC RIGHT THERE. Her mic isn't working: "Hello? Helloooo? Hello, Mama talkin', Mama talkin'!" WE HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE LET US ANNOUNCE THIS RIGHT NOW WE HAVE SOME DRINKING TO DO:

SUPPORTING ACTRESS

Amy Adams, "Doubt"
Penelope Cruz, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona"
Viola Davis, "Doubt"
Marisa Tomei, "The Wrestler"
Kate Winslet, "The Reader"

Kate Winslet wins, a HUGE roar goes up, and she makes her way to the stage half in tears. "Okay," she says. "You have to forgive me, because I'm not used to winning things." AWWWWW. She thanks all the other nominees (Amy Adams has a lovely green dress. Viola Davis's hair looked great, but she went by really fast). "Sorry, this is going on a bit," she says, "but I'm trying to make the most of it." And she thanks the hair/makeup people for making "Old Hannah" look "so--old." Wow, she is really going on with this huge list--she also thanks producers Sydney Pollack and Anthony Minghella, who died before they could see the finished film, and her husband Sam Mendes (apologizing for going "a bit mental near the end"), and says hi to her daughter ("I won!").

Whew.

Here's "singer and social activist Sting!" I kind of laughed at that. Best song! Wow, we are really movin' at a clip here.

SONG

"Down to Earth" (performed by Peter Gabriel, written by Peter Gabriel and Thomas Newman), "Wall-E"
"Gran Torino" (performed by Clint Eastwood, Jamie Cullum, Kyle Eastwood, Michael Stevens, lyrics by: Kyle Eastwood, Michael Stevens), "Gran Torino"
"I Thought I Lost You" (performed by Miley Cyrus and John Travolta, written by Miley Cyrus and Jeffrey Steele), "Bolt"
"Once in a Lifetime" (performed by Beyoncé, written by Beyoncé Knowles, Amanda Ghost, Scott McFarnon, Ian Dench, James Dring, Jody Street), "Cadillac Records"
"The Wrestler" (performed by Bruce Springsteen, written by Bruce Springsteen), "The Wrestler"

I like Beyoncé's diamond necklace, I gotta say. Bruce Springsteen wins. He looks good; I don't know that he's aged in twenty years. "This is the only time I'm ever gonna be in competition with Clint Eastwood," he says. "Gotta say, it feels pretty good." Heeeeee. Apparently Mickey Rourke called him up and asked him to do the song? Rourke in the audience looks less terrifying than usual (that poor man, I feel so bad for his face. What was it, boxing and plastic surgery, they said?).

The announcer declares that ONE OF THESE WOMEN WILL WIN AN AWARD FROM JOHNNY DEPP, so hold on for that. I mean, eventually.

Are we seriously only ten minutes in?

Is this the first time she's won a Globe?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yup. She hasn't won an Oscar yet either.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

I swear, it's such a shame.

[efyyness.livejournal.com]

agreed. she was fantastic in eternal sunshine.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

That one owns my soul even more than Titanic does.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It does seem to be going quite quickly this year.

And I was so glad they didn't mangle that Pussycat Dolls song I decided to ignore the fact that mangling probably would have improved it.

Colin Farrell's reaction to Sting was pretty hilarious. And apt.

They've got to pull you in with the Johnny Depp thing so that you don't get bored and give up on the show ten minutes in.

Really happy for Kate! Seriously, that woman deserves a win. She hasn't won anything almost... ever. :( That is, for a verrry long time. <3 to her.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

It's her first Golden Globe win. And she's never won an Oscar. When she said the thing about a habit of not winning I raced to IMDb to check because ... well, it's Kate Winslet!

[thisiamdenied.livejournal.com]

Sadly, she was not exaggerating. She's been nominated quite a bit, but (and I'm sorry if I'm wrong) I don't think she's won anything since Titanic? And she's done a lot of good films since then that merit wins.

Is Tom Wilkinson drunk?

[hey-sup.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, this is award number, like, 5? They are going like LIGHTNING.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

Blink and you'll miss something!

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

My mom was going to throw a fit if Miley Cyrus beat Bruce Springsteen. And yay for Kate!

[youngcurmudgeon.livejournal.com]

I want Kate Winslet's dress! It is so very pretty. And I'm glad Bruce Springsteen won over, you know, Miley Cyrus. All things in good time, young grasshopper.

[glass-radical.livejournal.com]

I see a Ryan Kwantan!

[viorica8957.livejournal.com]

Yeah . . . Clint-Eastwood wise, I don't think Bruce had that much competition. Gran Torino was a great movie, but as a singer, Clint Eastwood's a great actor.

[redcoast.livejournal.com]

she also thanks producers Sydney Pollack and Anthony Minghella, who died because they could see the finished film,

Because?!
