We love our shows so much we created a blog for it.

Golden Globes 1/16/05

 Anyone catch the Golden Globes?  I'll talk about what made me happy to see, since Johnny Depp didn't win.

Mariska Hargitary: wow, she looked absolutely stunning (although honey needed a strapless bra).  I was surprised to see her win; I think out of all the L&O nominees, she's the only one who's ever won.  The best parts of her speech were win she talked about her mom and dad, and when she thanked Christopher Meloni.  Speaking of which, where are his nominations?

Ian McShane (Deadwood):  Now, he seems like a loose Limey.  I loved how he said Deadwood is the gig of his life.  Tremendous props goes to the FPA for giving him the win; the man's the best on t.v. right now.

Dammit Deadwood didn't win for Best Drama!!!

Jason Bateman: finally getting the recognition he deserves.  Loved to see him win (hated seeing AR lose to Desperate Housewives), but did he have to thank everyone on the planet?

Jamie Foxx's speech was really great.  Usually I don't care for over-the-top grandstanding, but like he said, I say let him have the time of his life.  Still, every time I see him, I can't help remembering him from In Living Color, and that butt-ugly character-- Wanda?-- he used to play.

That's it.  I didn't care much for anything else.  And I skipped Hilary Swank's acceptance speech-- did she remember to thank her husband this time?

I missed a part of it; didn't realize it was on last night, so I missed most of the folks you mentioned! Good for Mariska & Jason! I was also bummed Johnny Depp didn't win. Went to see "Finding Neverland" on Saturday and bawled my eyes out - he and Kate Winslet are some of the best actors out there IMHO. Also bummed Jim Carrey didn't win for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; I usually can't stand him but he gave the performance of his career in that one. Guess I need to see The Aviator to see what the buzz is all about.

Didn't really hear what Jamie Foxx said during his speech - was too focused on that weird tattoo on the back of his head.

Hillar Swank did thank her husband this time around. She gave a mini-speech about how great Clint Eastwood is, which seemed very over the top.

Glad they gave Robin Williams an award. Always liked him and his speech just cracked me up. Also very glad Desperate Housewives won! I've been getting into this show and it's darkly brilliant and funny - kinda like Arrested Development without the dark part.

I remember when you went to see "Eternal Sunshine", and that you were surprised by Carrey. I'll have to see it when it comes out on video, because even with The Truman Show, Jim Carrey shined through and it bugged me from time to time. I'm sort of mad that he's in the remake of "Fun With Dick and Jane", because I just rewatched that recently-- cracks me up still-- and I don't want him to mess it up.

Jamie Foxx's speech was good; I would have liked to have seen him win for Collateral-- he was excellent in that. Anyway, he made a lot of jokes (including something about how Taylor Hackford was the best Caucasian to direct a movie about black people), but what he said about his grandma and people looking down on you from heaven was moving.
