Jennifer of Dumfries, V.A.
As the winner of TMMC's first ever Golden Globe Giveaway, you just won a gift card to Fandango.com valued at $25! Congratulations on correctly predicting Avatar as winner of Best Picture Drama and The Hangover as winner of Best Picture Comedy.
Thanks to all TMMC readers for entering in the contest! Don't worry, it took Marty Scorcese three decades and eight nominations before he won his first globe. Your time will come.
So let's round up tonight's festivities shall we? I laughed, I cried, I napped and then I cried again - I laughed at Mickey Rourke's outfit and cowboy hat. I cried at The Hangover. I mean The Hangover!!??!!?? Really!?!? Don't get me wrong, it was funny...but best picture? When you boil it down, wasn't it just Dude Where's My Car II? Discuss.
I napped because...well...really, it was rather dull - not much happened worth talking about. At least not from what I could see from my couch. The speeches were rather boring if not a bit melodramatic. With so much going on in the world right now, it seemed a bit disingenuous for Hollywood to talk about how much fun it is being in the movie biz. Meryll Steep's was the most poignant to me and Robert Downey Jr.'s was the most enjoyable.
As the show's host, I very much enjoyed Ricky Gervais' awkward jokes making fun of nearly everything and everyone. Sure they made you cringe, but you still laughed. Best joke of the night at the expense of Mel Gibson!
Personally, I was quite proud of myself for correctly predicting a whopping 10 of the 14 movie categories, only missing Best Picture Comedy, Best Actor Drama, Best Song and Best Foreign Film! Not to shabby if I do say so myself.
