Golden Globe Awards 2010 – LIVE Review

RYAN: Welcome to the Golden Globes 2010 everyone!!

CAROLINE: Ricky Gervais, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

RYAN: He’s brilliant. And we’ve already had our first winner of the night for Best Supporting Actress, thank you La Nicole Kidman, looking gorge, bt-dub. And the GG goes to:

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE

• Mo’Nique, Precious

CAROLINE: …the least shocking turn of events of the night. Her speech scared me at first, but then it got good.

RYAN: And the next movie category, Best Animated Movie.

CAROLINE: This one’s another predictable one… no surprises yet tonight folks.

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM

• Up

RYAN: And the next movie categories… OMG OMG Christina Aguilera! I love it. She looks like a regular, real person for the first time ever. She looks soft and glam.

CAROLINE: Yeah. And what’s with Cher? Is she a giant? She looks like a witch. Morticia Addams, anyone?


RYAN: Completely! So unfortunate.

CAROLINE: If “Nine” wins best song, I’m lit’rally going to jump out the window.

RYAN: I loved that song! If it doesn’t win… I’ll, I’ll… never speak to you again.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG

• “The Weary Kind,” Music & Lyrics by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett (Crazy Heart)

CAROLINE: So I guess we’re done talking?

RYAN: I was emotional. I didn’t mean it.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE

• Michael Giacchino, Up

CAROLINE: Typical. I totally predicted that one.

RYAN: Oh me too.

CAROLINE: Ooh, it’s a big award now.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia

CAROLINE: Yay, Meryl! I think we all knew that was coming.

RYAN: I like her dress. She’s not wearing her usual curtains.

CAROLINE
: Yeah, I’m glad she cinched it this time.

RYAN: I want Quentin to win for Best Screenplay.

CAROLINE: No way – Jason Reitman all the way.

BEST SCREENPLAY

• Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner, Up in the Air

CAROLINE: Thank you!!

RYAN: I’m disappointed. But interesting that the other dude who wrote the script showed up.

CAROLINE: Yeah, he wasn’t there for the Critics’ Choice Awards the other night. I thought he made his speech very gracefully; short and sweet.

RYAN: And then handed it off to Jason, the real winner.

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM

• The White Ribbon (Germany)

CAROLINE: What is going on with some of the attendees this evening? Did you see Ivan Reitman’s wife? I’m sure I don’t know.

RYAN: The BPS from here to eternity!

CAROLINE: She’s like the cat lady.

RYAN: Best Supporting Actor.

CAROLINE: It’s gotta be Christoph.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE

• Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds

RYAN: We’re doing rather well with our predictions this year but that does take a bit of the excitement out of it.

CAROLINE: It’s nice that Leo DiCaprio actually had a reason to show up to an awards show this evening.

RYAN: I know! He never shows unless he’s nominated or, like tonight, he’s supporting his BFF Marty Scorsese.

BEST DIRECTOR

• James Cameron, Avatar

CAROLINE: Wow, James C. winning Best Director. That’s not a huge shock, I suppose, but I thought it might go to Quentin or Jason Reitman.

RYAN: Can he please cute his hair? I didn’t realize what a sordid past he had btw- he’s on his sixth wife!

CAROLINE: That’s just gross. I don’t dig that he just spoke Na’vi in his speech. That’s a little much.

RYAN: He always takes it a step too far.

BEST MOTION PICTURE, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• The Hangover

RYAN: I am abba-solutely beside myself. This is just incorrect! How does this happen?

CAROLINE: I’m not sure. I mean, The Hangover was funny, but it wasn’t that funny. It should have been Julie & Julia.

RYAN: It should have been Nine! Then at least maybe some people would start seeing it. Now I’m worried it won’t get any Oscar noms.

CAROLINE: Honey, you might be the only one thinking about that movie anymore.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

• Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side

RYAN: Wow, Sandy! Good for her. She looks gorge too.

CAROLINE: I don’t think she deserved to win, but I loved her speech. Especially what she said about her hubby.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• Robert Downey Jr., Sherlock Holmes

RYAN: Hooray for Robert Downey! I so wanted him to win.

CAROLINE: Good for him! I really didn’t expect that. But my God, he’s hot!

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

• Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart

CAROLINE: Wow, I’m surprise, but thrilled, about this one. He was so awesome in this movie.

RYAN: He looks like an older Josh Brolin. I still need to see this movie.

CAROLINE: You really need to see it immediately. It’s one of the best movies of 2009.

RYAN: I’m seeing it tomorrow, obvs. And finally we’re ready to wrap this show up.

BEST MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

• Avatar

RYAN: Okay. So that’s happening. Can it win the Oscar?

CAROLINE: It is possible. Remember “Lord of the Rings” won once before.

RYAN: That’s true. What a night!

CAROLINE: It was a fabulous show as always.

RYAN: And you really raised the bar tonight with your Rice Krispies treats and homemade chocolate chip cookies!

CAROLINE: We’re nothing if not festive.

RYAN: We’ll have to recap the fashion tomorrow.

CAROLINE: Bien sur!
