The meh face is implied.
So, I watched the Golden Globes last night. All of it. I started with the 5 pm E! pre-show, straight on until just before 11pm when Ricky Gervais said goodnight. I can’t believe I watched the whole thing. And not in the fun, gluttonous, what-have-I-just-done-to-myself way, the other way. The way that makes me a little sad, the way that makes me want to re-evaluate my life.
You see, the Golden Globes are usually my favorite awards show. Ricky Gervais is hosting! Celebrities get blitzed on champagne! Silly foreign press reporters come out and act like you should care who they are! This year was just somehow less than. Sure Ricky Gervais hosted, but it felt like they cut for time and he actually felt bad about last year and toned it down. Only Paula Patton and Sir Ben Kingsley’s date seemed drunk. I want pissy Robert Downey, Jr., I want Ryan Phillipe yelling from the floor that he knew Joaquin Phoenix would win while Joaquin Phoenix is trying to accept his award for Best Actor in a Drama. Also, Hollywood Foreign Press, I have 3 words for you: Too. Much. Madonna. After the year she’s had, I couldn’t even really hate on Guiliana Rancic’s inane red carpet chatter. But, I could on Jeanie Mai’s, so thanks for that NBC, and Natalie Morales’ weird, pretentious over pronunciation of Spanish words while talking to Salma Hayek. Could we maybe get Seth Rogen to host next year? He was fun.
All that being said, there were some fun moments, and here are my 8 favorite bits.
1. Seth Rogen’s “Oh noes!” moment when he presented Michelle Williams with an award moments after saying her movie wasn’t funny. Most people will talk about the “massive erection” portion of the presentation, but what I liked happens at about 1:10 in this video.
2. This weird cutaway of Jessica Biel and Julianne Moore playing with Biel’s dress. Somebody was tipsy! That’s what I want from my Golden Globes!
3. Colin Firth’s a racist! Come on, every British guy ever has thought, “What’s so special about Colin Firth? There’s got to be something wrong with him, right?” Well, Ricky told us, then Colin proved himself awesome. Also, it’s too bad production didn’t have a table of blind kittens to cut to.
4. This happened.
5. This adorable, hilarious 13 year old, looking like an adorable, hilarious 13 year old. Yay! Ariel Winter (Modern Family). Also, shame on you pervs, “Ariel Winter bikini” should not be the first thing that pops up in Google when I enter her name. Gross.
My best dressed of the night.
6. Any of the multitude of times the director cut to Elton John making this face:
7. Michelle Williams taking Busy Phillips as her date, and then thanking her in her acceptance speech, because the teenager in me still loves Dawson’s Creek just a little too much. Best friends forever.
Creek Forever
8. I love my parents, but might want to be adult-adopted by these two.

What happens at 1:10 of the 1st video? I’m not seeing it – I need to know.
It’s the catch in the voice that says, “Oh crap, I just made fun of her movie and now she’s going to come up here and I hope she doesn’t punch me.” No, not seeing it? It can’t just be me, right?
Got it – ok, thought it was something in addition to the what was written in the little blurb, just making sure, I take these blogs seriously – like Steven Tyler says, “I don’t want to miss a thing” – it’s not just you – he did a little squirm and what’s her face giggled, although I think she was still laughing at the erection comment, because that was flat out funny.
Remember the one part, when, uh, Jesse Tyler Ferguson held up that uh, little sign that read, “Whatever”, when they were doing the Eric Stonestreet nomination? That was pretty aweseome.

Shhh… I totally missed that, a girl has to update her Tiny Tower sometime, it felt inauthentic to include something I didn’t see. Or something.
That’s ok, I got your back – we girls need to stick together.
