The Golden Globes 2013 – A Trip To Weirdsville
Source: windsorstar.com.
I turned on the Golden Globe Awards a few times last night, in between doing laundry still left over from our trip to Jamaica - seriously, how many t-shirts can one person wear in a week? – and trying to watch The Bachelor online. I missed the first episode. Anyway, it didn’t work. I live in Canada.
What I did see of the Golden Globes, I found very odd. From Matt Lauer standing with his arms crossed the entire time on the red carpet, to Tommy Lee Jones’ grumpy cat face during Will Ferrell and Kristin Wiig’s spoof of the best actress in a musical or comedy segment, it all seemed so strange to me. It was like an episode of the Twilight Zone.
These are some of the things that really stood out…
Denzel Washington was a lot less cool in real life than I thought he’d be. His daughter says he’s a nerd, and now I believe it. There goes a few late night fantasies down the tubes.
Adele was just the opposite. I’d love to be friends with her. She seems like a really fun person. Plus, she’s not afraid to use the word “piss” on national television – I think that says a lot.
Now, Hugh Jackman seemed like a pretty normal guy until he laughed during his acceptance speech for best actor in a musical or comedy (at 3:20 in the following video) – HA, HA, HA, HA, HA – and then I thought he was an alien.
I thought wow, Daniel Day Lewis is probably really smart – but then, aren’t all people with English accents proper geniuses?
Last but not least, there was Jodie Foster and her Lifetime Achievement Award – bless her heart. This is what I got from that part of the show…

And you say Jodie officially “came out” as a lesbian to the world during the show? I missed that. She was blabbering on for so long that I just tuned her out.

I don’t say this lightly, but this is the funniest Jodie commentary I’ve read today. I need to go back and watch it again just to gaze upon RD Jr. standing there the whole time! I look forward to this popping into my head again later and laughing all over again.
Thanks Ross. I just thought it was so strange. Both my husband and I were like “When is she going to stop talking,” but then what she was saying was supposed to be so poignant and touching, you know, how do you say that out loud – whoops, I just did LOL.
Wait, what? She came out during that? I thought she’d been out for years. Shows how much I know. And how well I was listening.
And I agree with Ross: this is the best commentary I’ve read on that whole odd experience.

Yes, she come out years ago, but never officially from what I’ve read. I don’t know. Obviously, I didn’t get that either LOL!
She scared me. She was even scarier than Mel Gibson, if that’s possible. BTW, let me be the first to say that I think Anne Hathaway’s preggers.
I completely agree. And Mel is scary. Like Tom. And Anne – now I will have to go back and watch more clips. Ooooh, if she is – good eye Seashells.
I’ve seen her gowns over the years and this was a bit looser in the midsection, and I don’t think Chanel would give her a gown that couldn’t be altered to be absolute perfection. And she’s newly married and…well. we’ll see! bet?
Seems likely.
She was preeetttty weird. My most annoying person of the night was Anne Hathaway – talk about smarmy. Yuck. Otherwise I really enjoyed the show!
I saw Anne all huggy huggy in the background LOL.
I totes agree with you, Anne H gets on my last nerve. so full of herself. almost another too smiley julia roberts. however, Tina and Amy were worth the price of admission, no?
I always laugh at Julia for that very reason LOL. I loved Tina and Amy.
I loved Jody’s dress! I was busy studying it more than listening to what she was saying. What about the bodice of Jen Lawrence’s’ dress. I could not understand it!
I usually only watch for fashion. And yeah, there were a few tiny top/big bottom dresses weren’t there? I thought Jennifer Garner’s was going to fall off.
LOL!! I was trying so hard to understand what she was saying…..thanks for clearing that up!
