2014 Golden Globes

Just got home from work and was reminded it was on. I turned it on to find a 1 minute commercial for the Olympics, followed by a commercial for Martha Stewart hawking cough drops, followed by another 30 second commercial for the Olympics. So then Robert Downey presents an award in a category which he didn’t even announce (best actress for SOMETHING?) So now Tina and Amy are back on stage, and they’re talking about…THE OLYMPICS.

I’m never watching NBC ever again. Especially not for Sochi.

Jared! I love that guy. Tough. Category.

He didn’t win, but Daniel Bruhl was incredible in Rush. Glad to see him get nominated.

Emma Thompson: hot and tipsy. Want.

Spike Jonze!!

SPPIKE! I am so happy Her won something. I never expected that.

I saw her first! Thirteen years ago, in Dead Again. Still hot.

Spike Jonze. From music video director, to goofy soldier in Three Kings, to award-a winning screenwriter. Who says the American dream is dead?

(Yeah, I know I’m leaving a lot of other stuff out in between there.)

I am really enjoying Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but I never dreamed Andy Samberg would actually win a Golden Globe for it! Funny show.

Wait a minute. Twenty-three years ago. Time really does fly, huh?

But Emma Thompson is still hot.

LOL. The Twitter accounts in that Muppets commercial were real.

Indeed. I can’t believe Branagh left her for that actress who plays every role exactly the same.

I think Melissa McCarthy is really funny.

That was a funny set up, but it didn’t go anywhere.

You mean Matt Damon, right?

I noticed a big part of the promotion for Grudge Match, the awful-looking Stallone-DeNiro movie, was using the enthusiastic tweets of random twitter users as a supposed reason for us all to rush out and see the movie.

Random tweets should not be used as a reason for anybody to do anything. I hope that trend is exactly what the Muppet folks were poking fun at.

Uh, yeah, yeah. Him and his wife, the lovely Mrs. Matt Damon. Funny gal. I mean, guy.

They have time for stupid Fallon/McCarthy jokes but no time for Best Actress clips?

He’s a legend there just for a debonair Christopher Walken dancing around a hotel to Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice”!

Remember, they have to save time for all the winners to make their way across three counties to get to the stage, too. Clips, schmips!

All that, Emma Thompson, and a repeat ad featuring Kate Winslet. It’s quite the night!
