A Golden Stream Of Consciousness: The 2014 Edition

Another year has passed and we're back at The Golden Globes ... and for me it's not about who wins or loses ... it's about who makes a fool of themselves ... EYE CANDY ... and some good jokes ... so let's roll one 'mo time with Tina and Amy 

Fey and Poehler ... running the show and looking better than they did on the Red Carpet, I must say greeting "All the women and the gay men watching at home" ... I waved to my TV ... Good Joke: ‘There’s Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong’o and Tam Honks’ ... EYE CANDY — Matt Damon … who was referred to as a garbage person because of the high-caliber celebs in the crowd last night .. if Matty D is garbage, then I’m a Garbage Man ... EYE CANDY — B Coop … the prettiest man ever … from American Hustle … formerly titled Explosion at the Wig Factory … and then Julia Louis Dreyfus … nominated for TV [Veep] and movies [Enough Said] but sitting with the “movie folks” … Best Joke: ‘Gravity, the story of how George Clooney would rather float away in space and die than spend another minute with a women his own age.’ … Joke That Could Have Bombed … Amy Poehler saying 12 years A Slave  made her rethink slavery … only Tina and Amy could have pulled that off … Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks ... BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS MOTION PICTURE … Jennifer Lawrence from American Hustle robbing the radiant Lupita Nyong’o from 12 Years …  But it’s the Hollywood Foreign Press, meaning it’s 85 journalists voting so it’s more popularity contest … I’m bitter because I’m kinda over JLaw and Lupita, as I said, r-a-d-i-a-n-t ... EYE CANDY — Channing Tatum with an angry looking Mila Kunis ... BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS TV SERIES, MINI SERIES, MOVIE … Jacqueline Bisset … sitting so far back it took her ten minutes to rise from her chair …. Ten minutes to walk to the stage …. Ten minutes to begin speaking … ten seconds to drop a ‘sh*t’ bomb on live TV … but that’s the Globes, though the show would be much shorter if it wasn’t such a trek from table to stage … Paul Rudd and Naomi Watts …. AKA The Poor Man’s Nicole Kidman … I kid ... BEST MINI SERIES OR TV MOVIE … Behind the Candelabra … no surprise ... BEST ACTRESS MINI SERIES OR TV MOVIE … Elizabeth Moss from Top of the Lake … I got through about five minutes of that dreary mess and deleted it from the DVR … She robed the amazing Jessica Lange from AHS: Coven … Matt Damon … cute and funny … to intro Captain Phillips … Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie … teleprompter misfire … intro The Wolf of Wall Street …. EYE CANDY — Aaron Eckhart and Paula Patton ... WTF does she have on? … she cannot even walk in that mess … BEST ACTOR TV SERIES DRAMA … Bryan Cranston Breaking Bad … EYE CANDY — Liev Schreiber …  BEST TV SERIES DRAMA … Breaking bad … Steve Coogan and Philomena … the real Philomena … intro Philomena starring Dame Judy Dench … Kate Beckinsale and [not P Diddy] Sean Combs and Usher … Diddy is a douche of the highest order … BEST ORIGINAL SCORE … ODDLY EYE CANDY Alex Ebert … I say oddly because of the wild hair and great tuxedo … kinda hot … Diddy tries to steal his thunder because Diddy’s a douche … a drunk douche … BEST SONG … U2 for Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom … Chris Martin ... aka Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow, also nominated, but lost ... Gwyneth sulks ... I liked that ... cameras pan through the crowd and Carlos says, “Barbra!” … I DVR back to one Julia Roberts and remind Carlos that forty-something Roberts looks nothing like seventy-something Babs … He says they have the same nose … feel my pain … Carlos is not pop culture … Taylor Kinney, Jessie Spencer from some new NBC show, and Amber Heard wearing Elsa Lancaster’s Bride of Frankenstein hair … BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR TV SERIES, MINI SERIES OR MOVIE … Jon Voight … Ray Donovan ….he’s wearing the same white scarf he’s been wearing to award shows since Midnight Cowboy … Luckily the music plays him off … Blame Jacqueline Bisset for not having even time, Jonny … Olivia Wilde ….

  2. I never watch those award shows, find them tedious. However!! Reading your re-cap is just like watching the Red Zone for football. All the best plays with all the boring bits snipped out.

    Saw the Dallas Buyers Club, and while I thought it was a good film, what bothered me is Hollywood chose a bigoted "straight" guy's story, rather than a lgbt members story.

  3. Bob,
    Fabulous! I didn't watch the Golden Globes last night (I did DVD it) but I read your whole stream of observation and recognize and agree with every observation. That's why I like you Bob, we have the same outlook. From the few clips I've seen of the Golden Globes I know you're right on target. Johnny Depp as a blonde? What was it with that drawl? Still pouting over his Tonto bomb? Matt Damon as garbage? I didn't get that one. Elizabeth Moss, I'm glad she won even though I've only seen her in "Mad Men." She has a quality and presence about her acting that reminds me of Meryl Streep. P Diddy still around? Yes, what WAS THAT frock that Paul Patton was wearing or was IT wearing here? I LOVE me some Bradley Cooper. Damn! Jon Voight still wearing that white scarf? Mr. Cool? Tina and Amy…..the best!

  5. I wish I could come over and watch the awards shows with you and Carlos! WHAT A BLAST THAT WOULD BE! Eye Candy: Alex Ebert - WHAT A CUTIE! Very sexy with his dredlocked self; Spike Jonz - loved him. Jared Leto - beautiful. He looks like Jesus to me, but in drag he looks just like Courtney Cox. Did you see the movie? Idris Elba - YOWZA! Great post Bob. But your comments on mine, HILARIOUS! Thanks so much for commenting. It really means a lot -- BIG HUG!
    XOXO

    For some reason I can't stop laughing over "Tam Honks." Tina Fey and Amy Pohler are two of the funniest people in comedy.
