So as I am writing this weeks post I drink a cold beer; sorry not very glam but it tastes divine. Eating bad chinese take out, watching the Golden Globes, writing this article and tweeting. I am a multitasking Ninja! I just hope the sweet and sour sauce comes off my laptop. 
Itʼs no secret I love award shows, always have. However, usually they are as dull as hell and far too politically correct. The Globes last year did it right by hiring Ricky Gervais as the host and he was back with a vengeance this year. He almost made me pee myself, or maybe he did; after four kids itʼs hard to tell.
The dresses were their usual bouffant, bedazzled messes. All the women trying to look like they didnʼt have someone spend 4-hours on their hair. This part I donʼt get. I can get that fresh out of the sack hairdo in 3 and a half minutes. The bling was draped off all the various parts of the body. The one thing I did notice that slightly terrified me, is that shoulder pads were plentiful and big! I am afraid if this is the new trend in evening wear I will be steering clear of black tie affairs for a while. Was so not a good look.
There were no big upsets or O.M.G moments. The speeches were all fairly dull and predictable. Kanye wasnʼt there to steal the mike from anyone. Just as I had lost almost all hope Paul Giamatti wins for Best Comedy Actor for Barney's Version and delivers the best speech of the night: dropping cuss words right and left over the fact that Halle Berry just gave him his award, calling his Barneyʼs Version wives a trifecta of hotties, saluting the NATION OF CANADA with a proper shout out to the city of Montreal. It was clearly a much needed giggle in the middle of yet another dying award show.
As the show went on, social media was a buzz about what happened to Ricky Gervais; he was M.I.A. He had made some cheeky off-the-cuff comments at the beginning of the show that some Hollywood Big Wig types may not have liked. He wasnʼt being mean, he was being a comic and actually telling the truth. No one did see The Tourist. It must of been all the truth telling that got him a smack on the nose. The last part of the show he read verbatim from his script and was dull and lifeless, like the show itself. If you missed his monologue it is a must see. You be the judge ...Did he go to far?
