Star-Studded can't begin to describe tonight's 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards! Let's JUMP to it.........
My anticipation overwhelms me! It's the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight on NBC. This is my favorite awards show of the year. It's so much better than all those others. We get to see celebrities from both venues, movies & TV, all in the same room eating & getting drunk together. This year is the biggest star line-up ever. It's the mother-load of fame. I'm just giddy with excitement. It's just like Thanksgiving! I'm going to gorge myself on all glitz & glamour. Of course, I will also be there on the red carpet to tear apart all those horrible fashion choices. I'm an expert. I watch Project Runway.
Red Carpet coverage starts at 4pm this afternoon on both E! & TV Guide Channels. It gets serious at 6pm when Ryan Seacrest & Giuliana DePandi interview the celebrities for E! & Lisa Rinna & Joey Fatone do the duties for TV Guide.
NBC starts Red Carpet coverage at 7pm with the Awards show starting at 8pm.
Here's what I mean about STAR power at tonight's event. I'll start with the Movie nominations.
Best Picture:
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Frost/Nixon
Revolutionary Road
Slumdog Millionaire
The Reader
I've seen none of these movies, but I'm picking "Revolutionary Road" for the win. It's got Leo & Kate together again. That's enough for me.
Best Actor:
Leonardo DiCaprio - Revolutionary Road
Frank Langella - Frost/Nixon
Sean Penn - Milk
Brad Pitt - The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button
Mickey Rourke - The Wrestler
See what I mean about STAR power! I just can't pick who I want to win. I'm leaning towards Leo, but I feel like I'm cheating on Brad if I do. (I'm sure Pegster wants Leo to come out on top, but Brad's just as 'golden' as Leo, don't ya think?) Sean Penn has a good chance at the gold, but in the end, it will probably be a "WTF" moment and Mickey Rourke will emerge as pack leader.
Best Actress:
Anne Hathaway - Rachel Getting Married
Angelina Jolie - Changeling
Meryl Streep - Doubt
Kristin Scott Thomas - I've Loved You So Long
Kate Winslet - Revolutionary Road
We've got a real cat-fight going on here. I know one thing's for sure. Meryl Streep will be the worst dressed of the group. This old lady just doesn't know how bad she looks at these events. She will not disappoint me again tonight. All the cameras will be on Brangelina though, waiting to see how this power couple reacts when neither one goes home with a trophy. I predict another upset & the little princess of Genovia walks away with the award.
Best Supporting Actor:
Tom Cruise - Tropic Thunder
Robert Downey Jr. - Tropic Thunder
Ralph Fiennes - The Duchess
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Doubt
Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight
If Heath Ledger doesn't win this one, I will be totally shocked. I know the guy is dead, but I really think he deserves to win & not because he's gone. He was awesome in "The Dark Knight" & would still win if he was among the living. He "made" that movie. Tom Cruise being a nominee will guarantee a fight on the red carpet for photos between the Cruises & the Pitts. Who will be more stunningly dressed? I'm going with Katie. Angelina tries to hard to be different & Katie seems to lean towards the classic look. (don't I sound like Nina).
Best Supporting Actress:
Amy Adams - Doubt
Penélope Cruz - Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Viola Davis - Doubt
Marisa Tomei - The Wrestler
Kate Winslet - The Reader
Kate Winslet is nominated in this category too. She could go home a double loser. Marisa Tomei is back. It was a shocker when she won an Oscar for "My Cousin Vinny" & I don't think she'll win this one. One of the "Doubt" girls will win. One thing's for sure. Penelope Cruz will be stunningly beautiful & Tom Cruise will be kicking himself in the ass for not hanging on to her.
