Considering I only watched last night’s Golden Globe Awards during commercial breaks for other shows, I sure did form some opinions:
1. Mariska Hargitay wins for Best Supporting Actress when basically she and Stabler (a man) run the Special Victims Unit, and Teri Hatcher wins for Best Actress although she is but a part of an ensemble that includes 3 other women (4 if you count Nicollette). What’s up with that? Don’t get me wrong…love Teri…loved her dress last night, loved her hair…but Mariska got robbed…again. But wait…this is what I get for flipping back and forth…although the caption said Best Supporting Actress on the replay I saw, I guess she won for Best Actress. Sweet! Cha-freaking-ching!
2. There was something very…synergistic…about watching Susan change a flat tire on Desperate Housewives last night (“I don’t think I’ve ever found Teri Hatcher sexier than I do right now.” -the UberHusband) while sucking up to Edie, then flipping over to NBC and watching her win a Golden Globe.
3. Aging actresses need to get over themselves. For some reason they all like to talk about each other now and how wonderful it is to be an aging actress and to get all sorts of roles of substance. Glenn Close is chumming it up with Meryl Streep during her award speech, just as they all did during the Emmy awards. This bothers me. Glenn…you were hot in Fatal Attraction but now you’re playing Eleanor of Aquitaine. Let it go.
4. Nicole Kidman…does PETA know that you kidnapped a peacock and glued it to your dress?
5. Jason Bateman…Best Actor in a comedy. Betcha all didn’t think he had it in him way back when on Little House On the Prairie, did you?
6. I really need to go see Closer. And Sideways. And The Aviator. And Million Dollar Baby.
7. If we could get sponsors to rally together to pay Star Jones to never speak in public again, I’d support that.
8. Martin Scorcese is really, really…short.
