Why I didn’t liveblog the Golden Globes
Here at Trashy Celebs we love us some awards ceremonies. We get to make fun of the dresses, the awkward acceptance speeches and hope beyond hope that a gay red carpet host will grab someone’s boobies. But this year all the fun was sucked from our favorite snark sport as NBC broadcast the Golden Globes press conference.
Press Conference? Really? It’s kind of like the actual Golden Globes award ceremony was caught smoking and was sent to the principle’s office and its punishment is to have Billy Bush and Nancy O’Dell (who?) read off the list of winners.
Actually the only interesting part came when Nancy O’Dell betch slapped the producers of the show for randomly showing a clip of a 23 year-old dripping wet Angelina Jolie frolicking in a pool with an Access Hollywood producer. She basically said that the reason it’s being shown is because her producers are sexist pigs. Well maybe, but it’s a clip of Angelina Jolie in a pool wearing a see-through dress. Hello! Who wouldn’t want to see that? It’s a nice trip down memory lane when Angelina Jolie was insane and not a slightly hotter Mother Teresa.
Speaking of crazy, another thing we really miss about the globes is the fact that everyone in the audience is drinking during the whole thing. I myself had a bottle of wine before watching the press conference but it just didn’t make up for the fact that I couldn’t sit in my living room and watch famous people get stinking on national television.
Dear Writer’s strike. Please, please, please end before the Oscars. Bruce Vilanch needs a paycheck and I need to be entertained by Kathy Griffin, Ryan Seacrest or whoever E! plops on the red carpet arrival ceremony. It’s just not a new year without that.
