The Golden Globes Award Recap

I thought it was a fitting tribute to the day honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that Blacks and Latinos cleaned up at the Golden Globe Awards last night:


Jennifer Hudson. Best Supporting Actress. Dreamgirls.


Eddie Murphy. Best Supporting Actor. Dreamgirls.


Forest Whitaker. Best Actor. The Last King of Scotland.


Shonda Rhimes, as creator and executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy for Best Drama.


Salma Hayek, as executive producer of Ugly Betty for Best Comedy.


America Ferrera for Best Actress in a Comedy.

All these awards were richly deserved and America’s acceptance speech was so sweet and even brought tears to my eyes.

But, I had some issues with the show last night.

The production quality was lacking. I realize that this is the only awards show that is not presented in the traditional format, but I was tried of looking at the camera men running around the tables.

I’ve finally come to the conclusion that I don’t particularly like Jamie Foxx. He came up on stage, obviously salty than he was the only one not nominated for Dreamgirls, and proceeded to give shout-outs from the stage like he was calling in to a radio show. Déclassé.


Fashion-wise, overall, everyone looked nice with a few major exceptions:

There was too much black. To me, wearing black to an awards show is playing it too safe. Yes, I’m talking about you Katherine Heigel and Hilary Swank.



I like to see color, i.e. Jada Pinkett-Smith.



Beyonce looked and acted like a slut. Plus, her look boooorrrriiinnnnggg! We’ve seen the same hair and dress on her many times before. The Golden Globes should have been her coming out party as a sexy, sophisticated and serious actress. Instead, she looked like she missed the turn on the freeway for Hooker’s Lane.


My best dressed is a three-way-tie between America Ferrera in a purple jewel-tone, Toni Colette in a striking sea blue, and Drew Barrymore in a sweet pale pink. Beautiful colors.



I’ll give Cameron Diaz a pass since I know she’s going through a recent breakup, but ladies, please know that the first time you see you ex post-breakup, you have to come like you’ve never come before. Cameron, obviously, didn’t realize this.


Who ever let Vanessa Williams leave the house with a poodle strapped to the back of her head is clearly not her friend.


And I’m tired of everyone wearing the same dress, just in different colors. I know Marchesa is the hot designer of the moment, but why did, at least by my count, five people, including J.Lo have on Marchesa dresses?!? It seems like Eva Longoria and Sara Ramirez fell victim to the okey-doke.
