So, the Golden Globes and the Oscar awards are basically like my Superbowl.
Back in the day when I worked at Vanity Fair and there would be a viewing party and some folks got chosen to fly to LA, depending on who Graydon picked to come from the staff, it would be this random night of trying to act like it wasn't a big deal among all those celebs that were also acting like being in that room full of icon's was no big deal. It's surreal to see all those personalities in one room and its sort of funny to see everyone kiss each other's ass when they really don't care about the other person. Once you have been to a VF Oscar Party, its not quite what you think it will be. Its slightly vulgar, showing the depth's of those who are desperate to be part of a community in the Hollywood industry. To me, unless you are up for a award, it doesn't makes sense to be there.
Regardless of the vapid qualities that they may be attached with this once a year event, the Golden Globes is a night where dreams come true for filmakers, writers, actors, and musicians. Its a night where childhood hopes turn into something magical and real and I love hearing and seeing the winners. The speeches that come from the hearts of the overwhelmed are inspiring. This year there was a shortage of inspiring speeches. If I were to chose one or two, I would say Colin Firth's was witty, and the young actor from Glee was heartfelt but again, a bit staged.
My favorite celebrities that wore it well were January Jones, Halle Berry, Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis, Amy Adams, Catherine Zeta Jones, Mandy Moore and Emma Stone. For guys, Jesse Eisenberg, Ryan Gosling, Robert Pattinson and Brad Pitt. See all of them and you decide.
