2011 Golden Globes

My favorite red carpet look was Natalie Portman. The soft pink satin dress with red accents and accessories, delicately flowed over her baby bump and she looked fantastic. Mila Kunis and Catherine Zeta Jones both wore beautiful emerald green dresses. Claire Danes rocked the hot pink dress she selected as well. And I'm so glad that she won Best Actress in a Mini-Series or Movie Made for TV.
Ricky Gervais can be biting, but dang, as host this year, he was mean too. Almost to an inappropriate degree. The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press zinged him right back though. Things took a turn for the best with his announcement of Robert Downey Jr as a presenter. It was edgy, but still funny. Downey's response to quote was: "Aside from the fact that its been hugely mean spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I'd say the vibe of the show has been pretty good so far." He then proceeded to do a hilarious introduction of the Best Actress in a Movie, Comedy or Musical category. Which Annette Bening won. Later in the show Natalie Portman won for Best Actress in a Movie, Drama. Its going to be quite the Oscar race between these two women.

I had a few favorite couple moments. First, when Jon Hamm's nomination for Best Actor in a TV Series Drama was announced. The character of Don Draper was described as womanizing the look his long time girlfriend actress Jennifer Westfeldt gave him, was priceless. And the way that they laughed and the look on his face, made it seem like some kind of inside joke between the two of them. Second, when Angelina Jolie retied Brad Pitt's bow-tie (not when she leaned on him for the known shots; too obvious). Lastly, Steve Carell and his wife laughed so sweetly together when his nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy TV was announced.

On the topic of couples, are Mila Kunis and James Franco a couple? Have they cameoed as a couple so much that they decided to be one? Is that why Macaulay Culkin got the boot? They seemed like a couple seated together.

Host Ricky Gervais gave his annual ribbing of Steve Carell for starting in the Office, and Carell pushed him away and said it never gets old. Steve Carell and Tina Fey were laugh out loud hilarious presenting for Screenplay Motion Picture. When Carell said King George "v." i." instead of the sixth, I seriously peeled with laughter. How do I not own Date Night? .

Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, were very excellent together, presenting Best Movie, Musical or Comedy. They made a nice dig at the host and Tim Allen quoted Buzz Lightyear. Nice. The Kids Are Alright won.

The standing ovation for Michael Douglas' prestation of Best Movie Drama was very heartfelt and he addressed it by saying with such humor, "there has to be an easier way to get a standing ovation." The Social Network won, will it win Best Picture at the Oscars?
