Live Review – 2012 Golden Globe Awards

RYAN: I had the time of m’life at the CCMAs but LBH, the The Golden Globes are even more fun because of 1) Ricky Gervais, 2) the glam is amped up quite a bit and 3) you make rice krispies treats!

CAROLINE: [laughs’ Thanks. And the show is already beyond. I’m dying over the fashion tonight!

RYAN: And while they give awards to both TV and film, we really only care about le movies.

CAROLINE: The Artist won the first movie award for Best Score and then Madge took it for best song from her movie W.E.!

RYAN: I love her song Masterpiece and I was so thrillified for her all the more since Elton John told Carson Daly on the red carpet during the preshow that she doesn’t stand an effing chance. I loved the cutaway to him. That’s some insta-karma!

CAROLINE: Best animated film to The Adventures of Tintin. You saw it but I didn’t.

RYAN: I saw it twice and it really deserves. It’s so visually stunning. And speaking of visually stunning, my pick for best dressed? Angie Jolie.

CAROLINE: She looks great. And I love Charlize again! She just hits it every single time.

RYAN: Woody Allen wins for best screenplay for Midnight in Paris. He won the CCMA too and he’s not even around to accept it.

CAROLINE: How fun were Felicity Huffman and Bill Macy?! What a cute moment as presenters!

RYAN: A Separation wins for Foreign Language film… from Iran. I love Madonna’s dress too and this one also won the CCMA.

CAROLINE: Octavia Spencer takes Best Supporting Actress for The Help. That movie is the gift that keeps on giving.

RYAN: It really is a great movie. Let’s see if Viola follows suit. Meanwhilst, I’m loving all the cutaways in the audience of everyone. Nikki Kidman looks better sitting down tonight, however, than standing up.

CAROLINE: I couldn’t agree more.

RYAN: And I really think that everyone would have more time for their acceptance speeches if they didn’t take so long to get up to the stage. The layout this year is horrendous!

CAROLINE: Whoa! Is this kind of an upset? Marty Scorsese winning Best Director for Hugo!

RYAN: I’m a little floored! It’s certainly deserved and although The Artist was the one to beat, he just did it.

CAROLINE: I can’t believe I’m even going to say this but I don’t know what happened to Melanie Griffith. She actually looks human and pretty.

RYAN: And congrats to Jean Dujardin from The Artist for winning Best Actor – Comedy or Musical. He’s so good lookin.

CAROLINE: And for the Best Actress – Drama it’s Meryl Streep for The Iron Lady. And nice reaction, Meryl, like you’re every surprised.

RYAN: I kinda wanted to see Rooney win to hear her talk and check her out. But I love how real Meryl’s acceptance speech was. And for Best Picture – Comedy or Musical it’s The Artist.

CAROLINE: It’s crazy how they separate genres. It’ll probably win the Oscar too but now we get to see who wins for the drama category.

RYAN: The Oscar noms aren’t out yet and although George Clooney won Best Actor tonight for The Descendants and he won at the CCMAs, sometimes the tide turns a bit so you never really know who wins at the Oscars. Between him and Jean from The Artist, who knows?

CAROLINE: I really loved both performances. It’s ultimately anyone’s game.

RYAN: What?!? This is crazy. The awards are all over the place this year! The Descendants wins Best Picture – Drama. I thought it would be Hugo, since Scorsese won. Personally I voted for War Horse but it really didn’t get any love.

CAROLINE: It’s an honor just being nominated. It was a night filled with humor, glamor and drama, just the way we like it. Next stop – the Oscars!!
