Angie’s Golden Globe Reactions

1. Best/Worst Dressed

Although it probably wasn’t a fan favorite, I thought Maggie Gyllehhaal looked totally FASHION. Another favorite was Drew Barrymore (her speech, however, was another thing). In general, I thought everyone was really rocking the delicate, romantic look. Worst? Definitely Diane Kruger. Like, maybe the dress would have been okay if it was in a different color, but she looked like she was going to an ’80s prom.

2. Winner You’re Happiest About / Winner You’re Fuming About

When Christoph Waltz won Best Supporting Actor for his role in Inglorious Basterds, I literally heard myself clap and say, “Bravo! Bravo!” But I really meant it, the guy performed one of the best performances I had seen all year. Plus, was it just me or was he totally adorable in real life? Like, Christoph has it going on in a “silver fox” kind of way. On the flip side, I was PISSED that “Julie and Julia Meryl Streep” beat out “It’s Complicated Meryl Streep” - robbery!! Just kidding. I was actually pretty annoyed that Avatar won Best Picture. Best Director, yes. Best Picture over Inglorious Basterds, no.

3. Best Speech

This is a hard one because I really wasn’t blown away by any of them. However, if we were giving away an award for Best Anti-Thank You Speech, Robert Downey Jr. would have won hands down: “If you start playing violins, I will tear this joint apart” and “I don’t have anybody to thank. These guys, they needed me! Avatar was gonna take us to the cleaners. If they didn’t have me they didn’t have a shot, buddy!”

4. Best Moment Overall

Brendan Fraser’s self high-five/finger point/hand seizure was the best thing I’ve seen so far in 2010.

5. Ricky Gervais - Yay or Nay?

Nay. He made a penis joke. That is all.

angieg415’s End of Year Questionnaire!

1) What was your favorite movie of ‘09… that you want everyone in the world to know you loved??
Inglorious Basterds. Who knew a film about scalping Nazis would become my ultimate feel-good movie of 2009? Oddly cathartic and just absolutely incredible filmmaking.

2) What was your favorite movie of ‘09… that you’re kinda embarrassed to admit you loved?
The Hangover. What is wrong with me that this humor appeals to me so much? I actually downloaded the song Ed Helms sings on the piano. “Stu’s Song” is in my iTunes. At least it’s not my answer to #4.

3) What ‘09 TV show could you not live without?
Mad Men. “Genius” would be the only appropriate way to describe the season finale. At one point during the episode, I’m pretty sure I was literally on my knees, shaking my clenched fists at the screen, screaming, “YOU DISGUST ME, BETTY DRAPER! I F*CKING HATE YOUUUUUUU!” Also, I admittedly love the show for its blog. That shit is more prolific than the New York Times.

4) What was your most played jam on iTunes in ‘09?
“Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit and all the subsequent remixes.

5) What was your single-most fave pop cultural moment of the year?
Watching this and then having Jersey Shore happen.

6) What pop culture trend/phenomenon for ‘09 are you hoping stays in ‘09?

7) F*ck, Kill, Marry: Rachel Berry, Snooki, Lady Gaga?
F*ck: Rachel Berry. I think she’s gorg, plus you know she’s an undercover freak… we all saw that sexual prowess on the picnic blanket

Kill: Lady Gaga. Sam once wrote me and Josh a totally serious email expressing how nervous he is that Gaga “will kill herself as performance art to show the perils of fame.” The email was so out of control that I’d have to kill her as his punishment for writing that shit.

Marry: Snooki. Listen, don’t hate on this answer. I actually think she would be like the best friend ever and definitely would be the most loyal out of the three. Plus, she’s already admitted to being ready to settle down with “a nice juicehead guido.” WIN-NER.
