And the Golden Globe Goes to . . .

Last night's broadcast of the Golden Globe awards brought many surprises. Red carpet beauties, unfortunate fashion victims, first time winners, and industry veterans. Here is my very own list of awards, based on last night's events:

*Belles of the Ball Award - The cast and crew of Slumdog Millionaire. Taking home awards for best score, best screenplay, best director and best picture. I was already itching to see the movie, and now I feel Hollywood knows a secret that I want to be in on! I hope I can get a ticket!

*Most Stunned Award - Kate Winslet. The stunningly beautiful British actress was literally stunned when she won two awards - one for best supporting actress for "The Reader" and one for best lead actress for "Revolutionary Road". When giving her second speech, she kept telling herself "gather, gather" as she could not seem to keep her thoughts straight. Her heartfelt thank you to Leo had me wiping away tears. I'll never let go, Jack.

*Most Hilarious Acceptance Speech Award - Tina Fey, 30 Rock. Tina told the audience how she knows that she has a had an incredible year, and that whenever she starts to feel charmed, she just hits the internet for a slice of humble pie. She called out many of the "Tina haters" proclaiming "Suck it, Babson Lacrosse! Suck it, Cougars!" and several other internet groups who apparently are anti-Tina. She also allowed Tracy Morgan to accept an award for 30 Rock. He said "Tina told me if Obama won, I could start speaking on behalf of the show". Nice.

*Least Likely to Win, and Knows It Award - Colin Farrell. Colin won for "In Bruges". A movie no one has ever heard of. Then he waxed philosophical in his acceptance speech, causing fans to wonder - underneath that stench of booze, and behind that long line of women following him out of clubs, is there a quality actor? The Hollywood Foreign Press thinks so.

*I'm Sorry, Do We Know You? Award - The actress who beat out Meryl Streep for best lead in a comedy or musical, the star of "Happy Go Lucky". That's right, I don't even know her name, because I have never seen her before, or heard of her movie!

*The Never Ages Award - Bruce Springsteen. Bruce won for best song, for the track he recorded for "The Wrestler", the movie starring Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. I know Mickey Rourke was allegedly famous once, then almost threw it all away with drugs. If only someone could tell me what he was famous for! No one actually seems to know. I was thrilled to see Bruce win, and marveled at his never aging face. Him and Bon Jovi. Its unexplainable. And undeniably hot.

Now onto the fashion . . .

*Best Dressed - Eva Longoria. Her red dress was absolute perfection.


*Always Stunning - Anne Hathaway. In a navy gown, sparkly on top, full skirt on bottom. Classic and sophisticated.


*Second Fantastic Dress in a Row - Christina Applegate. I LOVED her dress at the Emmys, and she stunned again in a canary yellow strapless gown with a bling-bling floral, diamond necklace.


*What Were you Thinking, Fire Your Stylist - Renee Zellweger. Renee is a Carolina Herrera loyalist and normally look incredible. Last night was an absolute train wreck.


*Please Remove Your Finger from the Socket - Drew Barrymore, whose hair looked as if she had been electrocuted! Which is a shame, because her dress was actually quite beautiful. But, all I could see what the frazzled, out of control hair!


*Most Awkward Red Carpet Interview - Meagan Fox. Who talked about starving herself to fit into her dress, thinking she is ugly, and how her fiance Brian Austin Green wasn't there because he didn't want to be HER date, he has too much of an ego. OUCH.

*Most Likely to Snub Ryan Seacrest - Brangelina! Brad and Angelina refused an interview with Ryan Seacrest, even after he walked right up to where they were standing, so they would not have to walk up the six steps to meet him on his podium. DOUBLE OUCH.

Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press for bringing us this glorious night of stars! Onto the next show!
