Golden Globe Highlights

My Top Ten Golden Globes Moments 

Last night we got to watch the 70th Annual Golden Globes and they did not disappoint. There were plenty of great, hilarious, weird and shocking moments that so many people are talking about today. If you happened to miss them here is my top ten list of my favorite moments of the night. 

10. The fashion! The men all looked handsome as usual and the women were stunning. There were three major trends I noticed with the dresses of the evening, fishtails, very high "angie-slits" as they are being called (thanks Angelina Jolie for that one), and red. Many women were wearing red last night as seen here. 

 9. Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman winning for their work in "Les Miserables". They both did such an amazing job on the movie and deserved the win. On top of that they both gave great speeches that showed us just how grateful they are to be doing what they are doing. 

8. Adele winning for original song for "Skyfall". Now this amazing artist can add a Golden Globe to her massive amount of awards at home. She is so amazing and so down to earth. Her acceptance speech was so real and so funny. Being a mother myself I found it hilarious how she said she was really there just so she could have a night out with her girlfriend since they both just recently had babies. I would love to have a night out with this girl. 

7. Christoph Waltz winning for his amazing performance in "Django Unchained". This is one of the movies I have gotten to see and his performance in it was so good. I have praised him before for his performance and now it is great to see him get an award for it. 

6. A clean sweep for "Homeland". I have mentioned multiple times how much I am a fan of the Showtime series "Homeland" so it was great last night to see the show take home best television series drama, best actress drama (Claire Danes) and best actor drama (Damien Lewis). The show is so addicting and so good it deserved every award it got last night. 

5. Jodie Fosters speech for her lifetime achievement award. She was very emotional, raw, and open during her speech. She touched on possibly leaving acting and coming out to us all about her sexuality. Many of the people in the room and around the country could not help but shed some tears as they watched her deliver this amazing speech. 

4. The shocker of the night Mr. Ben Affleck who took home two awards last night. He won best director for his movie "Argo", which further proves why so many people feel like the academy snubbed him by not even nominating him in that category for the up coming Oscars. "Argo" also beat out "Lincoln" to take home best picture drama which pretty much no one saw coming. It is making everyone re-think who might take home best picture in a few weeks at the Academy Awards. 

3. President Bill Clinton introducing the movie "Lincoln". You could tell no one in that room was expecting to see the President come on stage and when he did the room went crazy. He immediately got a standing ovation and very loud applause. He did a great job introducing the film and it was fitting to have him do it I felt. On top of that the jokes directly after from Tina and Amy were great. Amy called him "Mr. Hillary Clinton" and Tina called him "Bill Rodham Clinton". Both gave everyone a pretty good laugh.

2. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as hosts! They did such a good job I only wish we would have seen them more through out the night. They delivered some zingers that is for sure but they were all in good fun. They even sat in the crowd dressed up as different people at times which was pretty funny and unexpected. I would not mind seeing them do the job of hosting again. 

 

1. Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell introducing best actress in a comedy or musical. They acted like they didn't know anything about any of the movies or actresses they were talking about and they were just riffing off of each other. It was fantastic to watch. People are already saying they would love to see these two host next year and I would second that notion for sure.
