"It's the most wonderful time of the year...It's the happiest season of all!" You've heard this tune a lot in the last couple months, but I'm bringing it back for MY favorite season:
AWARD SEASON!
There are only a handful of things that make my pop culture junkie heart swell more than the span of awards shows in the winter. It's the time of year where we get to watch the celebrities we love (and love to hate––Taylor Swift, I'm talking to you) walk the red carpet in luxurious couture gowns, give hilarious interviews (Jennifer Lawrence, I'm talking to you) and listen to their train wreck acceptance speeches (Jacqueline Bisset, I'm talking to you and the bottle (or two) of wine you had before the show).
The Golden Globes was the first show of the season last night at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. Tina Fey + Amy Poehler were back as sophomore hosts and there was no slump in sight. The two comediennes were as beautiful as they were funny throughout the entire show. (Refer to my tweet: "All of Tina + Amy's looks tonight are FUH. LAW. LESS. flawless enough that a third syllable is needed.) The opening monologue was one for the books! My favorite jokes involved the camera cutting to Jennifer Lawrence as Amy Poehler, Tina saying that the movie Gravity shows what lengths George Clooney will go to to get out of being alone with a woman his own age and the two 'calling out' Julia-Louis Dryfus and how she chose to sit in the film section of the theatre and cutting to JLD in sunglasses smoking an e-cigarette while they hosts called out, "Hi, Julia. Hi. Remember us?" TV gold here, people.
On to fashion: there were a few trends emerging on the red carpet last night, as well as a few (THANK YOU!) risk takers. Check out the photos of trends and my favorite looks below and see which you like best!
Lupita Nyong'o in Ralph Lauren.
Best Actress winner for American Hustle, Amy Adams in Valentino.
Emma Watson killed killed killed it in this risky Dior number. A backless gown with Sandy-from-Grease inspired hot pants underneath? Yes, yes, all day, yes. Thank you, Hermione, for showing us that there are still people trying to step outside the box. (and thank you even more for stepping out of it in those navy pumps.)
Cate Blanchett in Armani.
Sofia Vergara in Zac Posen.
How thankful are we that she's not in a mermaid gown!?
Jessica Chastain is my definition of an A-list Hollywood movie star.
Here she is in Riccardo Ticci for Givenchy.
The Queen in Dior. Will this be her go-to designer again this season? I don't love the dress, but I like it. Her hair, makeup and accessories are perfect. That dark lip makes up for it! How can't you love this girl?! Her silly antics on the red carpet, and during TSwift's interview at that, is another reason on my list of why we should (will) be best friends.
Let's here it for the boys! As much as I love all black on a man, I love a little color.
Orlando Bloom in a navy Lanvin suit and Best Actor winner for Dallas Buyers Club, Matthew McConaughey in a forest green velvet suit by Dolce & Gabbana. Chris Hemsworth wore the same D&G velvet suit, but in navy. We applaud you all and we appreciate you.
Naomi Watts in Tom Ford.
The Wolf of Wall Street star Margot Robbie in Gucci.
The emerald details on the dress and matching shoes are the icing on this perfect cake.
Sarah Hyland in Georges Hobeika.
The winner's circle: I am so excited Leonardo DiCaprio won for his role as Jordan in The Wolf of Wall Street! This man is on the road to the Oscars and I think it is finally his time to get one. (really, it's been his time. what has the academy been thinking all these years!?) Obviously I am thrilled Jennifer Lawrence won for American Hustle. Her speech was perfect, "I actually did watch all of the movies. Not all of them, but you know what I mean." And her answers in the press room after the show were hilarious. Upon being asked a question by a foreign interviewer she said, "Anyone else get that?" LOL and told interviewers to keep interrupting her because she will ramble on forever.
Where as Jacqueline Bisset's speech was not so perfect, but it was hilarious. She tried to begin her speech multiple times before she went on and on and talked over the music so much that they turned it off, waited, and turned it back on again! It was definitely a speech everyone will be talking about this season and for seasons to come...
Bisset and a few other winners also had an uncomfortably/awkwardly long walk to the stage last night. I'm convinced seating arrangements at awards shows are directly correlated to 1) your name and what you're being nominated for and 2) how likely they think you are to win and actually need to get to the stage in a timely manner.
Freshman comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine and its star Andy Samberg were big (surprising) winners last night. I was pulling for Modern Family, naturally, and was shocked that it didn't win! I've never seen BNN, so I can't say too much until I do. But really, who isn't obsessed with Phil Dunphy? I guess it was just MoFy's time to "Phil Dun-feat" HIS PUN NOT MINE.
