Nicole:
For
Cassidy and I, Award Show Season is like our Super Bowl and what better way to get
the party started than with the 71st Annual Golden Globes?
elizabeth:
Yes, I
took the family jewels out of the vault just in case some reporter from E! was
looking in my window.
Nicole: By far, my favorite moment
of the night came from Emma Thompson, who presented Best
Screenplay barefoot, Louboutins and martini in hand. Thanks for keeping
it real, Emma.
elizabeth:
Yes, I
do believe Ms. Thompson was shaken and not stirred. I thought she showed that
women of a certain age can still kick out the jams. All in all, a happy
occasion is when alcohol is served in abundance. Why were our cries for invites
so rudely ignored?
Nicole: Just where do they get
off? Well, let's try to be big about this and discuss the Film Categories nonetheless.
Best Supporting
Actress
Jennifer Lawrence, American
Hustle
 |
| (c) HFPA and Golden Globes |
Nicole: No surprise Lawrence took
this home. Everyone’s smitten by Hollywood’s new darling...despite that terrible
Dior dress.
elizabeth: I admire Jennifer since
she keeps it so real on and off the screen.
She is like a breath of fresh air and she proves that one does not have
to sell off one’s soul for a movie role.
Best Actress: Comedy
Amy Adams, American Hustle
 |
| (c) HFPA and Golden Globes |
Nicole: How, how, how does Adams
beat Streep? It seems like a scientific impossibility that anyone could
possible beat that August Osage County performance.
elizabeth:
As
much as I like Amy Adams and her talents, this win better not be a sign that
women of a certain age are being phased out. Don’t make me throw one of my sensible shoes
at you.
Best Supporting Actor
Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers
Club
 |
| (c) HFPA and Golden Globes |
Nicole: Leto deserved it for his portrayal
of Rayon: enough said.
elizabeth: Jared Leto’s portrayal of Rayon was one of the best performances
I have seen in ages. He so deserved the Globe because he made you fall hard for
this HIV-positive
transsexual woman who showed so much dignity and compassion.
Best Director
Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity
Nicole: I’m still queasy from
seeing Gravity. And just why the hell was Clooney not at the Globes? Is he
still drifting in space...rather than spend another second with a woman in his
age group, as Tina Fey so correctly put it.
elizabeth: My head and stomach
stopped spinning once they started to roll the credits. I don’t think I like
having to depend on a barf bag to get through a movie – even a movie with
George Clooney in it. Although he can hold my head any time.
Best Actor: Comedy
Leonardo DiCaprio, Wolf of
Wall Street
 |
| (c) HFPA and Golden Globes |
Nicole: Three hours of F this and
F that apparently earns a globe.
elizabeth: I feel an F-bomb coming
on. I need a certain number of naughty words to get me through the day, but
come on, 506 of them in 3 hours. Whoever counted them deserves a Golden Globe.
Best Picture: Comedy
American Hustle
Nicole: Do you have to know how to
do The Hustle before seeing this film? Or have had at least one bad perm?
‘Cause I can safely check both those off the list.
elizabeth:
Thank
God they don’t have a category for bad hair and bad clothes ‘cuz this film
would have won that Globe hands down. It ain’t pretty.
Best Actress: Drama
Cate Blanchett, Blue
Jasmine
 |
| (c) HFPA and Golden Globes |
Nicole: Cate, no contest, and she looked
divine in Armani.
elizabeth:
Kate
was so great in this role that I went home and started drinking.
Best Actor: Drama
Matthew McConaughey, Dallas
Buyers Club
 |
| (c) HFPA and Golden Globes |
Nicole: Ugh, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
did McConaughey win? It’s not that I dislike his acting. I just hated this
movie so, so much.
elizabeth:
I had
to live thru AIDS and the lost of good friends in the 1980s and beyond so maybe
my battle scars hurt when I see someone like McConaughey’s character win a
golden globe. I do believe people can change, but I was not buying it in this
movie.
Best Picture: Drama
Twelve Years a Slave
 |
| (c) HFPA and Golden Globes |
Nicole: How did we let this one
pass us by? Must correct that mistake soon!
elizabeth:
They
are re-releasing this movie so we can get to see what brilliant movie making is
all about. I hate that life won’t give
us the time to see all the movies we want to see. Now, if I ruled the world…
