Golden Globes

Last night was the Golden Globes and already people know who won with the Social Network and Glee both winning big. However one thing people keep talking about is Ricky Gervais as host and his jabs at celebrities and presenters. I can understand where people are coming from but people I believe also have to lighten up especially since some of these comments have already been made or are worse ie Charlie Sheen. I don't think everything he said was right but as a comedian I guess it's your job. I don't think the comment made about Robert Downey Jr was appropriate but I think his recovery and joke to follow did a better job. Also his side joke at Steve Carrell I thought was funny but taking a jab at the man in charge of the Hollywood Foreign Press, Huge Heftner, and Scientology definitely got some buzz going in the room.

Although he has been getting a lot of attention some of the highlights/ my personal favorites of the show were
- Chris Colfer winning for Glee and his speech especially highlighting the bullying situation and saying he lost his heart between Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore
- Jane Lynch's speech about giving fans the time of day and the writter who writes her lines
- Glee winning and the speech that followed
- Claire Danes speech about Temple Grandin's work
-Colin Firth speech on being a mid-life crisis away from buying a Harley and how his wife provides inspiration
- Robert Downey Jr presenting and actress not presenting their best work until they have been with him.


Now you cannot talk about the globes without talking about the best dressed. Here are some of my personal favorites





On a side note it was announced that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have another girl to welcome into the family. Faith Margaret was born yesterday via a surrogate but are the biological parents and Owen Wilson is finally a dad too :)
