And the Globe goes to ...

Watching The Golden Globe Awards last night was fun.

Hugh Laurie won the Best Actor in a TV Drama. I was so very happy that he won. I'm a fan, but the other reason that I wanted him to win was that compared to the other nominees I think he would give the most hilarious speech. And he did, right from the start. Oh dear oh dear, he and his Dolce Gabanna acceptance speech, his wonderful crew that smelt of newly-mown grass and him thanking RSL but not remembering why *laughs helplessly* Pity RSL wasn't there, or maybe he was but I didn't see him.

Too bad 'Happy Feet' didn't win. Not that 'Cars' wasn't good - I love 'Cars' - but 'Happy Feet' is special. It's Elijah.

There were some tear-inducing moments too. Charlie Sheen, when he was introducing 'Bobby' and he was pointing out his big brother and asking him to stand up with such obvious pride in his voice. Kyra Sedgwick who won the Best Actress in a TV drama, thanking his "one and only Kevin" and Kevin Bacon with tears in his eyes hugging their daughter. Warren Beatty, when he gave accolades to his wife Annette Bening *big, big sigh*

Reese Wintherspoon looked extremely pretty last night. It seemed just like yesterday when she was sitting next to Ryan Phillipe, beaming happily at each other and now, one year later, they're divorced. She and Ryan was one of the Hollywood couples that I thought would last. I was wrong I guess.

I'm disappointed that Annette Bening didn't win anything. Cate Blanchett and Gillian Anderson too ( omg she looked so beautiful! ). And Matt Damon was not even nominated in his role in 'The Departed'. I've always thought that he's a much better actor than Leo diCaprio. Not as good-looking but way way better acting-wise. But then the diCaprio fans would say the same thing too, or rather, the opposite *g*

One last thing, can anyone tell me what exactly is The Hollywood Foreign Press Association? I was tickled when they introduced its President as someone who was in charge of something ( didn't quite get what was said ) in Australia, Hong Kong and Malaysia!!

Apparently I missed a big part of it. :( *teaches, teaches*

IMHO though, The Departed didn't deserve to be there at all. It's merely an action movie. Why not Casino Royale? *cries*

Did you see its original HK version 'The Internal Affairs'? Apparently the HK one is better. And I'm miffed that Matt Damon wasn't nominated. Grrrr.

I so wish I could have seen it. *sigh*

Maybe someone will upload it on youtube. I want to listen to Laurie's acceptance speech again and again!

[majblomma2000.livejournal.com]

Yes, how come I didn't think of that? Everything ends up in YouTube. Thanks for the reminder! :D

Hollywood Foreign Press Association are basically non-American media folks (television or print) that cover Hollywood.

Oh I see. The President sounded like an American, though :)

I didn't watch them - don't really like awards ceremonies - but I'm so glad to hear about Kyra and Kevin. They seem to be a couple who have managed to avoid the Hollywood thing, and that's great - they're about as solid and normal as possible.

I think Matt Damon is highly underrated as an actor because of the way he looks. Right from the days of Good Will Hunting, but I think Leo is a fantastic actor as well. Neither of them appeal looks-wise, but their talent is undeniable.

And the entire Sheen family is close to my heart - just because. Fell in love with Martin over 20 years ago and it hasn't changed.

Gillian Anderson? Have a huge crush on her. I think she's beyond gorgeous.

Emilio had a rift with his father some time ago I think. I guess all's well between them now.

Oh yes, Gillian Anderson is bee-yoo-tiful! And very talented too. I'm so happy that she was nominated :)))

I'm glad Hugh Laurie won. He's a wonderful actor, and such a smart, funny man, with such a wry sense of humor. I'm glad Kyra Sedgewick won too. I watch The Closer and love it. It's an intelligent, engaging show, with a grown up woman as the star. Such shows are rare on American television. I was watching 24, and only catching glimpses of the GG broadcast, so I missed most of the awards. Did get to see Forrest Whitaker win and was very happy for him. Although I wanted Will Smith to win one. I just saw "The Pursuit of Happyness" yesterday and it's a great movie and he was just devastating in the part of Chris Gardener.

Cate Blanchett is so classy and elegant, and Gillian Anderson is a great beauty, isn't she? And Kate Winslett is incredibly beautiful and America Ferrera is adorable. I'm a Matt Damon fan from the beginning. He's so underrated as an actor. I hope he'll someday get the recognition he deserves, just like Elijah will.

I hope Matt and Elijah will do a film together one of these days. I'd combust. And implode. And explode :DD

And Gillian Anderson has always been one of my favourite actresses. Ever since her Scully days I'm always on the lookout for new movies/TV shows with her in it. 'Bleak House' hasn't come here yet. Annette Bening's 'Mrs Harris' too. I cant wait to see them!

Can I just say that I love America Ferrara and Kyra Sedgwick!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

We have the South American version of 'Ugly Betty' here and I hope to see the US one soon. And I adore Kyra. I think it's wonderful the way she put her career on hold to raise their children :))

I'm just so disappointed about Happy Feet. I'm particularly fond of that movie because, as you said, it's Elijah! And Mumble is soo cute!

*cuddles you*

Probably the jury was mostly made up of men? I guess they would choose cars over penguins *sighs*
