Reese Witherspoon Drew Barrymore, and America Ferrera looked great, but Rachel Weisz, Cameron Diaz and Penelope Cruz were losers. And what was Sacha Baron Cohen thinking?
Karen:
Okay guys, what did we think?
Mali:
Okay, Reese Witherspoon must be hitting the gym hard - also Drew. Love the Betty win. Over Jennifer Hudson who hit a diva vibe I didn't go for. The whole Dreamgirls table seemed a bit tense.
The dresses were so lame - although will review in this weekend's US Weekly because sometimes they look better in pics but still - so boring. How many times has Rachel Weisz worn that dress? And what was up with the flounces - Penelope and Cameron - they looked like they were wearing doll's clothes. Loved all the couples' shots though - Ben and Jen looked so happy as did Jen and Marc, and could Angie have been more all over Brad? Good stuff
Karen:
Loved Reese, Drew, and J Lo. What was up with the flounces? Cameron, when your guy dumps you, that’s the time to look your BEST, silly. And what was up with Vanessa Williams' hair? Ohmygod. You didn’t like Jennifer Hudson's moment? It was one of my favorites of the night. "This has given me confidence" really moved me. Maybe I'm a sap. Or a sucker.
I thought Angie was acting weird. Maybe it was shyness, maybe it was nerves, maybe she just isn’t used to being at an awards show where she is playing the supportive significant other. But she was very aloof. I did catch some affection once she got some alcohol in her. I like them as a couple. I hate Jennifer Aniston. I just wish Angie had been warmer.
But speaking of couples, did you see Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon? First when she won, he was teary, and then later, they were cutely snuggling. I love them.
Favorite speech? I liked Meryl’s and America’s. (But how awkward was that moment after America won and she thought she was about to be interviewed by Maria Maneunos and Maria totally ignored her (Baaaad form Maria) and America turned to her off-camera publicist and said "What am I doing?" Ouch.
Did Forest Whitaker have a stroke?
Mali:
Hudson seemed fake to me - it was like "this is sincere." And she totally thought she was going to win. i saw her on the view when i was sick and I just don't like her. Also, you're a newcomer and you didn't thank any of your co-stars? Classy.
Yeah, I was all about B&A. They were very couple-y. She was giving off a whole goddess vibe which I dug - very old school movie star (even though the dress was hefty-esque. damn girl, you weight a buck ten on a good day. Show it off.). She seemed very supportive via clapping for Babeland kissing everyone. They were also totally leaning on each other throughout and when they won - and everyone was on their way up, she totally patted the back of his head, like he's her puppy. Her big blonde golden retriever puppy. I am not ashamed to be obsessed with them - great pic of them on E! at the after parties kissing. He's holding her like his life depends on her. And while I do hate Aniston on principle, I cannot even imagine how completely soulrippingly painful this has to be.
Renee Zellwegger's face looked weird - and her eyes have completely disappeared. Jada Pinkett looked pissed, as usual. And yes, I was loving la familia Bacon - they were so cute. And the daughter was so thrilled for her.
Dresses I didn't get - the entire Grey's Anatomy table, Sarah Jessica Parker,
I thought salma looked hot but she always does. 40! I can't believe it.
Forest - yeah, dude, there's a reason why you should take your time on the way up, gather your thoughts. have a thought.
I thought Justin's thing was awkward - making fun of Prince like he's the shit. Dude, please, you were a mousekeeter while prince was racing his lil red corvette.
Karen:
I love Nancy O'Dell. I met her once and she was so nice, so real. Yes, I agree Justin...not his finest moment. How dare he make fun of Prince? You thought Salma looked good? I thought she looked fat. Renee looked...like something was wrong with her. And she needed more makeup.
What did you think of Eddie Murphy winning? And can we cry that Zack Braff was shafted yet again? I'll give you the "shame on you for not thanking you co-stars" thing to Hudson. Plus, will she please stop talking about her stupid boyfriend? Speaking of Dreamgirls, I thought Beyonce looked awful. But it was nice to see her sitting next to Jay Z.
Didn’t you think that Reese looked a lot happier not having a drunken Ryan with her? And where the hell was the little brother from Betty? It looked liked everyone was there but him.
Mali:
I thought Salma looked good - she only looks fat because her boobs are chin high Penelope looked like she was channeling Sophia Loren circa 1965.
I wasn't having any of the Grecian draped looks and what was up with all that white?
Also sick of ? All Housewives. Felicity Huffman needs to take it easy - she's turning into Mask.
Yeah, Beyonce has worn that dress 10 times already - c'mon people, mix it up
I felt like Reese was overdoing it - like drunk girl "Hey,look at me, i'm haaaaaappppppppppeeeeeeeeee." but still, she lost a lot of weight because she was stick
Todd:
Hahha. This has been very entertaining. It was pretty interesting to see B&A together. They certainly seem to be the real thing, which is cool. I don’t get the whole aloof thing. I think she was very much “this is not about me” which is appropriate.
I fastforwarded through a lot of it so I’m just going on impressions here, but I liked Jennifer Hudson’s speech although what about props to idol??, was very excited that Eddie Murphy won, ditto Scorcese, Zellweger is looking squintier than ever, Cameron did look bad, JLo looked different, as though she had something done to her face, which is freakin ridiculous, yeah, Salma looked amazingly good, Justin cracked me up but seriously, where the hell was Prince? Was he just late? Helen Mirren looks damn good. She is stacked!
Mali:
But why was Eddie not excited about winning? Between impregnating a spice girl (sporty?) and dating Babyface Edmonds wife, this is just blase?
All the Helen Mirren boob comments are just plain disturbing.
Karen:
Stop talking about Helen Mirren's boobs! Did you guys notice that when she first went up, her dress was ripped?
I agree - why was Eddie not humble? You just got your career back buddy!
Todd:
Helen’s boobs, Helen’s boobs, Helen’s boobs…
Mali:
It's just so MILF, I can't deal.Also what was with all the balls/ass talk? I mean, Borat, ok but Hanks? That had to be the finest presentation in GG history. Show of hands?
Karen:
I think Sacha Baron Cohen just single handedly destroyed any chance of career longevity with that speech. Way to pigeonhole yourself buddy.
Mali:
His co-star was actually very funny about it, with the wine bottle. But I don't know how much longevity he'll have anyway. Sometimes it's just right time, right person but that doesn't mean there's a career there. I don't think Will Ferrell will be anyone in five years but right now just his name gets studios aroused. The same ones that were excited by Jim Carrey seven years ago. Jim who?
Karen:
Exactly.
