Golden Globes: always good fun

Good and bad from tonight's presentation of the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards. You know I love me some awards shows. Tonight's brought it all to me happily, with whipped cream on top. Here are my happy thoughts, and WTF moments.
GOOD:
~ Ricky Gervais. Do you have to be in the right mood to appreciate this guy as a host? Perhaps, but I was, so I enjoyed him.
~ Robert Downey, Jr. Someone who, even as a joke, didn't "thank" anyone, and considered the entire movie's success a testament to himself was awesome, and refreshing as hell.
~ A picture of Josh Duhamel holding the umbrella for wife, Fergie. In fact, a shout-out to all the umbrella holders on the red carpet. You all rocked.
~ Neil Patrick Harris and his boyfriend. That is all. Yay!
~ Sandra Bullock getting some props. And her incredible speech and words about Jesse James. So sweet!
~ Kate Hudson's fierce dress. I think it may be my favorite of the night.
~ The Hangover winning!! The broader comedies are usually not winners at these big, fancy award shows. Hurray to the Hollywood Foreign Press for choosing the same movie that most everyone in the country would have said was the funniest movie they'd seen this year. Even the clip had Brian and I in giggles!
~ A picture of Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox standing in line at the bar together.
~ Gervais' comment about drinking and Mel Gibson! Fantastic! The best parts were when he made the crowd gasp!
~ George Clooney going in for the congratulatory kiss for Julianna Margulies as she made her way to the stage. True love! Doug and Carol FOREVER!!
~ GLEE!! I'm so excited that one of my favorite shows of the year is getting the recognition it deserves!
~ Meryl Streep winning for Julie & Julia. Loved it!!
~ Jennifer Garner, who didn't seem to be there for any on-camera reason, but looked super beautiful.
~ Gerard Butler is so pretty, too.


BAD:
~ James Cameron and Avatar. I do not like James Cameron as a person, which makes it difficult to like anything he's done since he became a jerk after Titanic's success. I would have rather seen Kathryn Bigelow win for The Hurt Locker, and any other movie win for Drama.
~ NBC and E! on the red carpet. These people are ridiculous and irritating. Why, oh why, do the bottom of the barrel in entertainment intelligence get these plum red-carpet assignments? Where are the real journalists, who won't accidentally say something rude (I'm talking to you, Billy Bush), or ask a top-level stupid question? I couldn't watch the coverage, no kidding, because it was so awful!
~ Julia Roberts. I get that she's got a few kids now, and doesn't get out much in Hollywood anymore, but please. Couldn't she have put forth a little effort?
~ Mickey Rourke's completely random cowboy hat, and the facial expressions on the audience members when he rambled onto the stage to present an award.
~ William Hurt's beard. Ugly. Why didn't he shave, or at least trim that nest up a bit?
~ No love for Up in the Air. I have not seen this movie, but I know that when I do, I will love it. I'm bummed my movie-boyfriend George Clooney didn't get any props.
~ That thing on Drew Barrymore's shoulder.
~ George Clooney's beard and his new girlfriend's arm tattoo.
~ Also Cameron's partner, Suzy Amis, and her lack of hair product or even make-up. Another one who put little to no effort into her appearance. Don't give me a hard time. Really, these shows are made for looking pretty. If you don't even try, people are going to comment on it.

Tired, yawning, and now totally eager for the Oscars, I close up the laptop and go to bed. The earlier I sleep, the sooner I get to read coverage on tomorrow's web sites!!
