Lady A is back, opinionated and ready to take on the circus of pop culture in 2011! Let's kick things off with awards season. First up....THE GOLDEN GLOBES!
I love award shows that are all about stars congratulating themselves on being kings and queens of the universe...it's just entertaining. However, as I wait for my favorites (the Oscars and the Grammy's) I have to comment in the pre-games like the Globes. Those that are nominated and win that night are 'front runners' for the golden, naked man statues next month (referring to the Oscars for those who had their minds in the gutter). Let's take a moment and recap last night's....shenanigans.
Host Ricky Gervais definitely made a splash as the host the second year in a row. Those at home may have thought he was hilarious while the ego-maniac mega stars in attendance winced and laughed uncomfortably joke after joke. Gervais is already being panned for his antics but can I just say...get over yourselves folks! It's all in jest. If he really hated you (meaning celebs), do you think he'd be purposely malicious and destroy his own career simultaneously?
He is GOLD for ratings and kryptonite for celebrity egos, but at the end of the day, NBC cares about who's watching at home and not just those prissy pants in the audience that can't take a joke. Without viewers like the ones not wearing Versace gowns and Gucci suites sitting at home, there wouldn't be actors, or movies, or the gold plated awards they give to each other because WE as consumers actually went to see their 'masterpieces.' Take a breath and stop throwing a tantrum. Leave your egos at the door and just have fun for the evening. Hey, if you wouldn't act like a douche nozzle throughout your career to begin with, then these comedians wouldn't have anything to say. So if your feelings got hurt last night...that's on you boo-boo.
Now on to my favs of the night...
HOORAY Glee!!! Gleeks everywhere can rejoice with major wins last night! Chris Colfer for Best Supporting Actor in a Series for his role as 'Kurt Hummel' and the show also won Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical. So happy to be a Gleek! But hopefully the recognition the show has received can shine an even greater lighter on it's mission to shed light on bullying in high school and the obstacles kid face growing up every single day. Yes, they may sporadically and sometimes awkwardly break out into song and dance during the show that doesn't make sense to some (well, most people), let's focus on the real stories going on: tolerance, respect and self-empowerment amongst teens.
LOVED Natalie Portman's win as Best Actress in a Motion Pictures - Drama for her role in Black Swan; totally rocked my world! See, playing a deranged and crazy ballerina will get you the critical acclaim you've been waiting for. If you haven't seem this movie, you need to ASAP. It's completely trippy, thrilling but awesome all at the same time. You're really kept guessing throughout the movie until the incredible end. Here, take a peek...
But the BIG winner of the night was The Social Network taking away Best Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Motion Picture - Drama. Hello Oscara, are you listening?! If you are one of the few peopl
e who haven't seen this film (not necessarily accurately based on the founding of Facebook), it absolutely defines a generation. Who doesn't have a Facebook account? Okay, maybe your grandparents or your kindergarten teacher, but hasn't it completely enveloped your life? I know I'm checking my Facebook account every hour, attempting to be witty in my 'status' and widening the gap of real, personal contact with each passing day. I wish this film captured the addiction of Facebook instead of focusing on the alleged doucheness of its founder. Maybe that will be the sequel--Facebook: The Addiction; The New American Crack. I like it. You're welcome Hollywood. It'll be interesting to see how the Oscars will turn out, who will host, who will win and who will get drunk and humiliate themselves in front of millions of viewers. Oh, I do love awards season! Happy New Year!
