Golden Globe Watch-A-Long
Watching awards shows at my house is the best. Really. I mean, there’s a couch, there are these really comfortable slippers, there are snarky comments, there are…okay, actually, that’s all there is. But, obviously, CH Headquarters are the place to be for all things Globe-y. And since I can’t just keep everyone on the phone while I watch, I thought I’d try to replicate the experience as much as possible. Just try to imagine us on the sofa of your choice with a huge bowl of popcorn between us. It’ll all come to you, I swear. So without further ado, CH watches the Golden Globes:
Way to start with The Clooney. He doesn’t even need a co-presenter. Everyone wins!
Jennifer Hudson, I don’t know you at all, but I like your acceptance speech very much. Congratulations, you.
The “Best Song” category is always weird and jarring, because the pop songs they play over the credits are always weird and jarring.
Dude, Justin, way to stand there and look awkward. They don’t call you Mr. Smooth for nothing, do they?
I’m sorry, but being Miss Golden Globe has to be embarrassing. “I’m not nominated for anything, I’m not really in anything, and you only know me because of my parents, but I sure can wear a flesh-tone dress!”
I only love Kyra Sedgwick because she was in Heart and Souls with Robert Downey, Jr.
Aww, Sarah Paulson lost. I mean, obviously. But still.
“I am speechless. I am literally without a speech.” Hugh Laurie, I’m charmed.
If Emilio Estevez wins any kind of major award for Bobby, I will just die. Die, I tell you. Isn’t he off in Minneapolis, coaching a down-on-their-luck hockey team?
I work down the street from Pixar. Do you think John Lasseter would give me a CH Exclusive? One where I wouldn’t have to make up both sides of the dialogue?
Meryl Streep wins! Jaws everywhere…don’t drop. Way to rock the dress and glasses, Meryl. Dorothy Parker would have dug you; also, Tina Fey.
I’m happy for Eddie Murphy. The 90s were rough on him, I think.
Hey, Cameron, have you ever seen Firefly? Love the dress.
What? Ugly Betty over The Office and Weeds? I love America Ferrera a lot, but…*sniff* You can’t handle the truth.
Hugh Grant, for future reference, I recommend that you wear a hat when you ride in a convertible. I believe you’ve seen Bridget Jones’s Diary?
America (Ferrera), can I be your best friend? We will have sleepovers and eat popcorn and talk about boys, and it will be excellent.
Sacha Baron Cohen, I’m still trying to Q-tip your movie out of my brain, but you completely deserve this award, and not just because Ken Davitian sat on your face. Just so you know.
Dreamgirls. Did I call it? I called it. CH represent, yo.
That guy made a movie about soul music in the 1960s? I guess if a Cambridge graduate can create a movie about a Kazakh moron, I should just shut up now.
Filliam H. Muffman! That’s all I have to say about that. Oh, except that I love her enormous dress.
….Forest Whitaker? Really? Am I in the right place? Also: Eat that, Leo! Heh.
Oh. Oh, my. Is that….? Is that….my governor? That’s….a little embarrassing.
Babel. Eh. I wish I could roll my Rs like Inarritu, though. I bet I know what kind of potato chips he eats.
Oh. Arnold, you did not just say that. YOU’RE THE GOVERNOR. Stop with the impressions of yourself, or I’m moving to Nevada. Don’t think I won’t!
One down, one to go. Well played, all.
Golden Globes, Sacha Baron Cohen, America Ferrerra, Meryl Streep, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jennifer Hudson

Hugh Laurie’s speech was awesome. And WTF Alec Baldwin and The OFfice? You know all this already, just thought I’d reiterate. And tell you that I enjoyed this entry. Also, Borat is hot. I have not seen his movie, and I probably won’t. But…dayum.

As someone who grew up in CA but thankfully doesn’t live there anymore (hey, I *did* move to Nevada!), even I cringed at Aahhnold. What possessed him to say that? I had the impression it was under duress, as if he too was embarassed. Did they pay him? LOL!

okay, so there is more.
yes, sacha was hot. though when i shortly muted the tv when he was talking i sorta found him unappealing. so i turned the volume again and found him adorably hot. i wonder why.
also, i saw eddie murphy gave him a haughty look when sacha’s name was announced as a nominee. i wonder why.
forest whitaker, it was an award long overdue. so long overdue he probably didnt expect it and was so overwhelmed by it he didnt know what to say. did he say anthing comprehensible at all?
