Miscellaneous Movie Musings

If there was endless projectile vomit on the red carpet, I'd watch it.

I have no interest in the red carpet. That's why we didn't turn the TV on until the awards started.

Award season is like a sport for us. Tom and I make annual predictions for Oscar noms and winners (oscarwatch.com has a contest, and we have our own mano-a-mano contest, though we almost always pick the same winners independently of each other. Like minds.)

So we always watch the Globes because, for oscar-watchers, it is important for picking up signals (obvious ones, and subtle ones) about possible Oscar repercussions.

Plus, Hugh Laurie says things like "they smell of new-mown grass."

Gee, the Red Carpet is one of my favorite parts of these events. It's all about fashion - good and bad - baby.

I like to watch the red carpet to see what people are wearing and what they say~unscripted.

Plus, usually the people I am watching for don't end up winning so that is the only place I see them.

Oh, I enjoy looking at fashion. (See prior Tina Fey comment.) But I don't generally like the snarky interaction on the Red Carpet-- I'd rather look at the attire while they're onstage and nobody is asking who they're wearing (or grabbing their breasts.)

Exactly. I never watch the red carpet, and love to groove on fashion at the actual awards. LS and I should obviously watch the Globes together sometime.

As for watching the Globes at all, they used to be sooooo much better than the Oscars ... and now I just watch out of habbit. Before they became so mainstream, the actors all got liquored up and the acceptance speeches were awesome. Sasha Baron Cohen gave an inkling last night of how ribald half-a-dozen speeches would have been in the Globes heyday.

breast grabbing? I've gotta start watching the red carpet...

I love the re Carpet but where was it last night? We were tuned to NBC and they just had the ADD preshow with Bindi daughter of Steve Erwin doing animal calls and looking like one of those carnival give-away trolls. I saw E had post show interviews - and what's the deal with a time delay for an event happening on the West Coast?

I want more Fashion - I never saw Penelope Cruz standing - Bah!

As award shows go though, the Golden Globes are one of my favorites since the actors are all drinking up a storm as they present - that makes for good theater.

I saw The Painted Veil over the weekend. Very good film.

My favorite part of the red carpet arrivals is watching the Hollywood "has-beens" in the background with the "Someone please interview me" look on thier face. Even worse is when they get brushed aside for someone who's more popular. Its the cynic in me, I guess...
