Thoughts from the red carpet:
- Gary Busey is odd. The way he jumped in on Ryan Seacrest’s interview with Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney was so bizarre. Everyone was scared.
- Jennifer Garner looked amazing. Love her dress, love the hair.
- Anne Hathaway’s Marchesa dress was gorgeous and looked wonderful on the actress. Her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri was nice arm candy as well!

- Cameron Diaz was pretty in pink – her dress was Dior.
- George Clooney is very handsome and his girlfriend is cute too… very interesting that he brought her along… he’s not known to bring his girlfriends on the red carpet!
- HIGHLIGHT: Jason Bateman confirmed the rumors that they are trying to do an Arrested Development movie. YIPEE!

After the Golden Globes were handed out during a press conference, I just wasn’t prepared to experience the Oscarsr the same way. Thank god, we don’t have to worry about that anymore. Instead, we can (generously) pour ourselves some wine, get out the cheese and crackers, and park on the couch for this Sunday’s show.  Even though the show doesn’t start until 5pm, (west coast only - you east-coasters need to tune in at 8pm) I think I’ll be camped out around 2 or 3pm so I can see each and every gown and tuxedo that walks down the red carpet.  TV Guide’s red carpet coverage is hosted by Lisa Rinna and joey Fatone so I’ll definitely check that out. 

I was happy to hear that some fun people were presenting at the awards, adding more fun gowns to watch for.  In particular, I’m excited to see: Jessica Alba (in maternity wear!), Cate Blanchett, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Katherine Heigl, Nicole Kidman, Hilary Swank, and Renee Zellweger.  Lisa Rinna is also doing a Fashion Wrap up on Monday night at 7pm should anyone miss any of the night’s gowns.

To get in the mood, here is a link to our predictions of the big winners.

And if you’re in it to see the dresses, here is a slideshow of the most memorable gowns over the years.

Confession time: I have loved Ryan Reynolds since he starred on the Nickelodeon series Fifteen. When he starred on the show Two Guys, a Girl and Pizza Place, I watched relgiously. And when he made the leap to the big screen, I was one of his biggest supporters (I have seen Van Wilder no less than 10 times. It’s actually REALLY funny.)

Why am I telling you all this? Because he is in the movie Definitely Maybe that comes out this weekend and I cannot WAIT to see it.  The trailer looks so good! And the cast is pretty interesting: Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz,  Elizabeth Banks (love her!), and the lovable Abigal Breslin.

Let me know if you see it this weekend… and whether or not you liked it!

Dennis Quaid (love him), Sarah Jessica Parker (love her), Ellen Page (my new favorite), and Thomas Haden Church (i’ve loved since Wings) all star in the upcomoing movie Smart People. It’s getting some fun buzz and the clips and trailers I’ve seen look REALLY fun. Below is a clip from the movie… take a look and let me know if you think it looks good. Also, if you like I have some more.. let me know if you want to see those too…

While I can’t wait to watch the Super Bowl (though it’s mostly for the ads), I am also looking forward to another week of Soapnet fun! This week’s movie is Deadly Sins starring Alyssa Milano as an undercover cop. As a HUGE fan of Alyssa’s from the super fun ’80s sitcom Who’s the Boss, i’m excited to see her in this (I miss Charmed!).  The movie centers around the mysterious disappearances of students at a religious school for girls.

Once the super bowl is done, I’m planning on checking out this little ditty at 10pm. Let me know what you think!

I am hoping and praying that somehow the Oscars go on. It seemed like something as big and revered as the Oscars would never get canceled, but it’s looking like it might actually happen. And while any year I would be sad about that, this year I’m especially sad. Why? For the first time in several years, perhaps since Shakespeare in Love, I’m VERY excited about a movie that’s up for several awrds, Juno.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise—I’ve made my feelings about this movie quite clear. And the fact that it’s up for Best Movie, Best Director (Jason Reitman), and Best Actress (Ellen Page) makes me very happy. And I want to see the show and hear what they have to say if they win.

Let’s hope the show goes on.

Though celebrities didn’t walk the red carpet and there weren’t gorgeous gown adorning the stage, tonight’s Golden Globes announcements were still somewhat exciting. I was thrilled to hear Tina Fey’s name read as the winner of Best Actress, TV Comedy and disappointed that Ellen Page didn’t snag Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy. But it was still super fun to watch the Press Conference on E!Online and read the live blog coverage over at EW.

For those who missed the show (if you blinked, it was over), here is a list of the winners:

I have to admit, I’m pretty sad the Golden Globes have been canceled. I love how the GGs highlight both TV and Movies and all the best actors and actresses from the big and small screen all get together for a big lovefest. Not to mention the amazing fashion we get to see on the red carpet…

I might be alone here, but watching and hearing the winner’s speeches is also super interesting to me. Seeing who they thank (and who they don’t) and seeing them react as themselves instead of their character. And now we have Nancy Dell and Billy Bush just reading off the names in a one-hour press conference.

Don’t get me wrong – I understand the strike and think there’s merit, but wouldn’t it stink if THIS was the year you finally won an award?

In years past, getting ready for the Golden Globes was a big deal—I’d invite similarly obsessed friends to come watch with me (no one is allowed to talk during the show so I only invite serious entertainment lovers.), I’d print out ballets and spend a week selecting my choices, and I’d prepare some fabulous and tasty food to nosh on while watching.

This year, since it’s just a one-hour press conference, I’m going to skip my get-together and the delicious food… though I will still print out a ballet and keep score.

Before I sign off, here are the people/shows I hope win the most:

Tina Fey, 30 Rock, Actress, TV Comedy or Musical
George Clooney, Michael Clayton, Actor, Drama
Ellen Page, Juno, Actress, Musical/Comedy
Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Supporting Actor
30 Rock, Series, Comedy or Musical
Grey’s Anatomy, Series Drama
Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock, Actor, Musical or Comedy
