The 2011 Golden Globes Winners List

The 2011 Golden Globes Awards took place in Hollywood last night and there was a few surprises with the winners list, mainly The Social Network taking the award for Best Motion Picture instead of Black Swan. You can see the full winners list after jump because I don’t really want to talk about. Here is what I want to talk about:

Yes, Ricky Gervais‘s opening monologue which he pretty much went in on everyone in Hollywood and I loved every second of it. I’m sure there is probably a number of hits out on his head today.

The best one for me is when he decided to crack a joke at Tom Cruise and John Travolta, after saying Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor played two gay characters in “I Love You Philip Morris”, he then said “the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists, then.”

It was a good start to the show and really the only bit that I cared about, if these celebrities can’t take being made fun of then they are definitely in the wrong business.

Mo’Nique Has Hairy Legs – Photos

Yeah yeah another topic about the Golden Globes but this isn’t a boring one. Instead this is about a topic I feel very strongly about – women having hairy legs is disgusting. The woman in question I am talking about is Mo’Nique.

Mo'Nique Has Hairy Legs - Photos

It seems that Mo’Nique, who was nominated for and won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Precious, obviously didn’t care too much about her appearance at the awards.

This isn’t the first time she has shown off her hairy legs, she went on The View a few years ago and got out behind the desk to show off her legs after saying declaring..

“I must show America what a real leg looks like . . . because it’s too much in the morning, every morning, to shave, to cut, you got Band-aids baby, “I really think hair on a woman’s legs is a black woman’s thing.”

Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind women getting a bit lazy if they are doing nothing or have on long pants but not if they are wearing a dress and plan on showing off their legs. That is just nasty, if I wanted hairy legs in my spouse then I would be off hunting lumberjack hairy bear.

But this is Mo’Nique so I can forgive her because The Queens Of Comedy is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

Vanessa Hudgens Loves Golden Globes’ Swag

It was that time of the year, the Golden Globes were televised last night, and celebrities were dressed to the nine’s for the event. Well, most of them were.


Vanessa Hudgens looked cute in her dress and pearls, but the annoying thing about her was how much swag she walked away with. Vanessa reportedly had her assistant lugging home four bags full of gifts with her, totaling a whopping $12,000!

Swag is one way for advertisers to boost sales for their product. The celebrity takes a photo with the item and gets to keep one for themselves. How much time do you think Vanessa spent in the gifting lounges? Five hours?

She reportedly made off with a one-year pass for her and a pal to a AMC Theaters, a BlackBerry Pearl, a coffee machine, a $4,000 diamond pendant, designer clutches, a year-long gym membership and more.

Clint Eastwood took the old Hollywood approach and opted out of the gifting lounges. Ricky Gervais said he only wanted a pair of sunglasses.

Vanessa Hudgens made out like a bandit, but she wasn’t the only one. “Mad Men’sJanuary Jones also took home $10,000 worth of gifts, while Samaire Armstrong took home a $4,500 necklace.

With the economy in shambles and big CEO’s getting all kinds of taxpayer money, it’s a shame that celebrities are allowed to brag about the stuff they get for free. Tacky.

Kate Winslet’s Year For an Oscar?

She really, really wants one. And if the Golden Globe nominations are anything to go by, she might just get one.

Kate Winslet stars in Revolutionary Road

Kate Winslet stars in Revolutionary Road

Last month Vanity Fair asked Kate Winslet if she’d like an Oscar. She would, she said. In fact she said: “You bet your f#king ass.”

There’s bound to have been an actress who wanted an Academy award more desperately than Winslet. But there’s surely never been one who’s fessed up to the desire more frankly.

That big, gold shadow has long hung over her, from the moment she became, at 22, the youngest woman to receive two Oscar nominations. Currently, her tally is five. But if Academy voters follow in the footsteps of the foreign press who tick the forms for the Golden Globes, then she’ll rack up another couple – making her the youngest ever actress to have gained seven.

Ever the practical-minded gal, Winslet has been forthright about the prize-pressure under which she finds herself. Remember her spoofy turn in the first series of Extras, playing herself, playing a nun under Nazi occupation – purely, she says, with the intention of getting her paws on a little yellow man?

This year, she’s taking a belt-and-braces approach, giving barnstorming performances in both Revolutionary Road and The Reader. Both are films with Oscar firmly in their crosshairs: released at exactly the right time of year, adapted from acclaimed novels (by Richard Yates and Bernard Schlink respectively), and directed by Brit heavyweights (Winslet’s husband, Sam Mendes, and Stephen Daldry).

Kate Winslet with Leonardo DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (2008)

Kate Winslet with Leonardo DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (2008)

In the former she plays an emergent feminist battling husband Leonardo DiCaprio in 50s suburbia (the film plays like some fantastically mannered east-coast episode of Eastenders). And in The Reader (rather remarkably, in light of her Extras turn) she’s an ex-Nazi prison guard who has a fling with a schoolboy and struggles to overcome her illiteracy in post-war Germany.

It’s a performance that’s already stoked controversy for the full-frontal scenes deemed by some critics to cast Nazis in too sexy a light. And, indeed, there is something amusingly porn-ish about the initial erotic encounter (naughty schoolboy fetches older lady some coal, gets mucky, has a bath, etc).

But that controversy looks now to be overshadowed by a more prosaic one. Winslet is being put forward by the film’s distributors not for the best actress accolade, but best supporting actress. It seems, if you’ve seen the film, like potty logic. She’s unquestionably the star: the titular character, the actor with the most screen time, the centre of the whole enterprise.

In an excellent piece on spout.com, Christopher Campbell discusses the ins and outs of the Weinstein brothers’ decision; the precedents and the rules. Could it be because she’s guaranteed a best actress nod on Revolutionary Road?

For another good read, check out Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio‘s interview with Entertainment Weekly.

What do you think? Does it matter? And what of the Golden Globe noms in general? Any notable omissions? Or are they just a wearisome warm-up for the main event?
