I watched the Golden Globe highlights last night, this is what I learnt.
- Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are going to make it difficult for anyone else to host an awards ceremony again. Not one bit of awkwardness that all award hosts usually suffer from. They are just proper funny. Naturally funny.
- Adele’s talking voice is a hell of a lot more irritating than her singing voice.
- Daniel Craig is just not as attractive when he is out of Bond character.
- Damien Lewis is a ride but a tad arrogant, possibly making him more of a ride.
- Robert Downey Jr does not seem to be ageing at all.
- There is such a thing as too much Botox. Jessica Lange is almost double my age and looks younger than me but also like a robotic doll.
- Jodie Foster is a legend. The mention of her mother in her speech made me cry.
- Why was Sean Combes/P Diddy/whatever he calls himself there? Not complaining, also ridey.
- What’s the story with Catherine Zita Jones accent?
- Yer one from Girls, Lena Dunham ,should have worn shoes she could walk in. She reminded me of me on my wedding day faced with marble stairs in the church with a big dress on and high heels. Was very very nervous for her.
- George Clooney. Really is just perfection. He really is. There is just nothing wrong with him. He is perfection.
- I lost a bit of respect for Quentin Tarantino with the glow from his hair dye. Every time I see one of his movies now forever more I will have the image of him in a salon chair under a hair heater. Not good.
- Claire Danes hair is magnificent. I want it.
- Kate Hudson is also pretty perfectly beautiful.
- Julia Roberts looks sensational. It is 23 years since Pretty Woman was made. She looks better now. I’d say it was having three kids in three years that made her look like that. Similar happened to me.
- Sacha Baron Cohen is just not funny. At all.
- Why did a lot of the dresses flash the side boob view? They were fab but I can never wear a dress like this. Not that I have occasions to wear to such dresses but if I had a dress with a side view bit the cutaway bit would need to be closer to my waist than my neck.
- I am still a little bit in love with Ben Affleck. I love him long-time. Properly in love. In a way that a 34-year-old married mother of three should not be. He is sensational. The beard. The tux. The everything. When he leaned over to kiss Jennifer Garner when he won Best Director I shouted at the tv “Get off her”. I couldn’t help it. The words just escaped from my mouth. There was no control over them. My husband actually gave me a sincere look of pity. I would like to also not like Jennifer Garner as she gets to be his wife but she seems lovely and natural and pretty. Bitch. Ben though……Sigh. I wonder would I get away with a poster of him above my bed….
Can’t wait for the Oscars!
Did you watch the Golden Globes? What did you think?





Agree with everything. However…George looks a little “chin-y” in that pic. Now I don’t fancy him as much. Jennifer Garner is a lucky bitch.
Chin-y? What is wrong with you?
He has a chin out. And don’t come back to me saying you don’t know what a chin out is.
I don’t
Ah, George
sorry, did you say something else? I’ve had a little swoon…
Damien Lewis and ben afflect are like yum yum yum
Only saw bits and pieces, thought George looked sensational and I too have always had a little thing for Ben but the man for me on the night would have to be Hugh Jackman, I love him! Catherine Zeta Jones voice was really really weird! Didn’t see much else but you’ve given a good run down here!
Really it was inconsiderate of Daniel Craig not to wear those blue trunks…..
He’s not a patch on George, I love George, god he’s fabulous
You’re right. Daniel Craig should have worn the trunks. Rachel Weisz should have insisted on it. If he was my husband, I would have.
I am going to have to have a look at those Golden Globes (why does that sound so *rude*?!) The photographs back up your extensive research, and I’m partial to facial hair (on a man, ha ha) so I reckon I may have to fight you for Ben…
Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler were flippin brilliant. They should do it every year. I was laughing my head off at Lena Dunham and the cast of Girls coming up to get their award. God help them, you’d know by the way they were teetering like gazelles that they’re not used to the red carpet circuit – although that is no bad thing! I love that show.
Jennifer Lopez looked in-cred-ible. George, Ben, Hugh – I’d take them all. At the same time…
George Clooney used to be so so fine but I find of late, he is gone quite jowly. A shame.
There isn’t a lot of difference between Ben Affleck and a poster of Ben Affleck. The man could stunt double for a pack of Ryvita. Yawn!
Now, Robert Downey Jr…..there’s a man. He gets better looking by the day. What I wouldn’t do to him…
We should go to the Oscars. We could divide and conquer
Great summing up Deb.
My ones: That celebs are MUCH funnier with drink taken.
That Mel Gibson just seems to look like a lobotomized inmate alllllllllll the time.
That Tom Hardy didn’t attend (boo – now there’s a man)
Oh Mel Gibson deserved a mention. Excellent description
Get off George, you lot. He’s mine.
Was that really Catherine Zeta Jones? We missed who they said it was and then the hub thought it was her and I was saying, “No, that’s a French person.” What an odd accent.
I thought Claire Danes looked very strange, though. The dress was fab, but the hair and makeup looked all wrong on her. I hate to say it, but she looked like a streetwalker. [/Mammy voice]
But never mind all that. George. Geooooorge. Also Daniel Craig.
Oh it definitely was Ms Jones. I cringed when she started to sing the line from Les Mis. It was a real Joey from Friends “I can sing, give us a job” moment.
Speaking of, did you see Joey from Friends? He looks so oooooold.
Silver Fox.
Silver Foxy indeed. He never did it for me in Friends but age is treating him well
Very well, very well indeed
Love your assessment! I missed Ms Jones!!!! I actually thought your wan from Girls had a prosthesis!!!!!! Woops! And the men….. well…….. dream……
Brilliant Deborah!Ben all the way love him,and his bloody wife is just too bloody perfect ugh!
Did anyone notice how pissed off Tommy lee jones looked at one point … Not a happy bunny!
And yep that one from girls seriously put on a pair of converse or something she did look like she had a prosthesis lol
Ok, I will allow you Ben, but George is mine. All mine….. *mwah ha ha hah*
Did you see Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) she looked fab – all elegant and sophisticated.
George would still prefer me. Obviously.
I didn’t see them…missed the boat completely; I can’t believe it.
I think C.Zeta-Jones has tried so hard not to speak with her original accent that she doesn’t even know which way she wants to speak anymore.
Love this post, now I am up to date as I missed the GLobes. Thanks. Love your taste in men!
