I love all award shows, but the Golden Globes are always the most fun. There is alcohol on the table. The TV stars mix with the movie stars. We get to watch the winners awkwardly zigzag and weave their way to the podium. There is the occasional “f” or “s” bomb. Here are a few of my favorite moments from last night’s 2014 Golden Globes!
1. Tina and Amy can do no wrong
Can these two awesome ladies host every year, please? Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler are fearless and funny. You can tell they are BFFs. My favorite joke of the night was a Gravity reference: “George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.” Ha.
2. Matthew McConaughey hey hey
Yay! My boy Matthew won the Golden Globe for Best Actor-Drama for his performance in Dallas Buyers Club. It was one of the surprises of the night. Matthew has truly reinvented himself. He was the king of the quirky romantic comedy, but this film showed his commitment to new, complicated roles. I had the opportunity to work with Matthew when he came to Washington, DC on a press tour many years ago. He was the most down-to-earth and humble guy. I love when good people win big.
3. American Hustle wins!
I always try to see a bunch of the nominated films before award show season and my favorite was most definitely American Hustle. I was excited it won for Best Motion Picture: Comedy or Musical and both Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence picked up awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. Go. See. This. Movie.
4. J-Law and T-Swift
Speaking of Jennifer Lawrence, she was the talk of twitter when she photobombed Taylor Swift’s interview with Ryan Seacrest during the E! Red Carpet arrivals show. This pic says it all. Jennifer is just so REAL. That’s why we all root for her. And calm down, people. There was no animosity. J and Tay have been friends for years.
5. Cate Blanchett’s Dress..and Win!
Cate Blanchett always looks amazing on the red carpet and her dress last nigth was my favorite by far. I love the black lace and the back was a cool surprise. Plus, her pinned up retro hair was perfection. AND she won the award for Best Actress-Drama for her flawless performance in Blue Jasmine. I think Oscar may come knocking!
