The 71st edition of the Golden Globes
The Golden Globes is the award show that kicks off the award season. Along with the upcoming Fashion weeks, this is a Fashionista's favorite time of year! Before we get to all of that, the main event is to acknowledge the best of the best in film and television. There were some obvious winners, as there were some surprise snubs of the night.
"12 Years a Slave" went into the 71st Golden Globe Awards with seven nominations, but didn't look like they would get a one until the last award of the evening. The film won Best Motion Picture Drama. "American Hustle" won Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical, Best Actress for Amy Adams and Best Supporting Actress for Jennifer Lawrence. The wins thrust the two films into the top positions for the Academy Awards' Best Picture honor. The Globes are often seen as an Oscar forecaster. (CNN)
"Gravity" gave Alfonso Cuaron, his first win as Best Director. The film "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" received three nominations, but won for song "Ordinary Love," featuring music by Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen, Jr. and Brian Burton, lyrics by Bono. On the TV side, "Breaking Bad" won for drama series, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" for comedy series and "Behind the Candelabra" won for miniseries or TV movie
The dynamic duo, Tina Fey and Amy
Poehler dazzled once again as the evening host. My only complaint, we didn't get
to see enough of them!
"Welcome to the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Lee Daniels The Butler Golden Globe Awards", jokes Fey in a nod to "Lee Daniels:' The Butler", which did not receive ANY nominations at the Golden Globes. Poehler continues with, "Welcome to all the women and gay men watching at home".
Which brings us to why we all really watch the awards anyway…
The red carpet!
Starting off with
a scare, when a sprinkler system went
wrong, the red carpet step and repeat was almost RUINED. Luckily, crew men jumped right in and the crisis was quickly avoided.
Stars began to arrive.
Stars began to arrive.
Right out the gate was the
favorite of the night, "12
Years' " Lupita Nyong'o, who wore a dazzling cape-like gown by Ralph
Lauren. Some say it was reminiscent of Gwyneth Paltrow's white Tom Ford at the 2012 Academy Awards, but I think there is no comparison. Ms. Nyong'o BROUGHT IT!
There were also some noticeable baby bumps on the carpet.
