First my favorites: Not necessarily in this order: George, Gerard, Jean, Colin, and Bradley. I say no more. Hope you enjoyed my wrap up of the Golden Globes.
Just kidding.
Before we go on let us gaze at the bracelet that Stacy Kiebler is wearing. Don’t you think that underneath is a little calendar counting down the days from 2 years to when she will no longer be dating George? I am actually starting to feel sorry for these girls.
Ok, let’s begin. Here are my opinions for better or for worse.
Angelina Jolie looked amazing. The red on the dress with the purse and the lips and her favorite accessory Brad Pitt were perfection although I am not that into Brad Pitt. Although I did like him in Moneyball.
Blush was the big trend and I give A plusses to Charlize, Julie Bowen who had the best retro hairdo, Kate Beckinsale, and my total favorite of ALL the dresses, Piper Perabo although I have clue as to who she is.
Also in blush and looking particularly horrible were Jessica Biel, Amanda Peet, and Elle MacPherson. These dresses were so fussy and these women are so gorgeous that it was a shame their stylists could not come up with something better. I think Jessica Biel’s dress was my all show least favorite. Wait, that goes to Meryl Street AGAIN, but I digress.
The tie dyed dress that Sarah Michelle Geller wore was just too weird and Lea Michelle’s dress looked better on Halle Berry at the Oscar’s but then everything looks better on Halle Berry.
I thought that Jessica Alba’s dress was good if you were say, 50, but she is so gorgeous it probably does not matter. I did love the color and it was the same light violet that Octavia Spencer wore. I was so happy she won for the Help that I cried when she quoted MLK about dignity even if you are the help. Which if you think about it, I sort of am.
Some of you LOVED Nicole Kidman’s dress but I didn’t. I think those overly beaded straight dresses look old and too rigid. I like when she wears flowy Dior better. My real question is when will all that botox wear off so her poor forehead can move again?
I loved Madonna’s dress and the scowl on Elton John’s face when she won for best song. I heard they are in a big feud for some reason.
I liked but did not love Natalie Portman’s dress and I know lots of people LOVED Reese Witherspoon’s but all the fishtail dresses that no one can walk in are just not my idea of a great dress. Between the tail and the too high shoes you could fall and kill yourself or at least tear your ACL.
Deep teal blue was a big color and Frida Pinto’s Prada dress was great. It looked almost like brocade but she said it was really lightweight and it was so pretty.
That brings us to Tilda Swinton. What on earth was with her hair? Her outfit was great though and the color excellent. But who saw it? You could not take your eyes off that hat hair!
Another dress I really loved was worn by Missi Pyle who was in The Artist.
Claire Danes also looked fabulous but it wasn’t until they showed the back of her dress when she won that you could see how really amazing her dress was. Beautiful!
WHY WHY WHY does Meryl Streep have to look so bad at these award shows? WHY I ask you? This year instead of looking like she was going to a barbeque, she looked like she was going to a rodeo. And yet, we LOVE LOVE LOVE her for the fact she obviously does not care about fashion. And oh can that woman act. So we forgive her and we pray that she will look better at the Oscars.
We end on a high note because Helen Mirren did not disappoint. Always elegant.
And just when all these young women thought they looked so great. And just when almost all the awards had been given out, out came Jane Fonda at 74 years old looking AMAZING. Ok, ok, she has had a lot of work done, but still, she looks incredible.
Well, that does it for the Golden Globes 2012. See you on the blog after the Oscars.
