to sum it up

the 3-hour presentation of the 67th annual golden globes came & went this past sunday night. and it was a pretty good night!

host ricky gervais was as awkward and wonderful as ever: “i recently just had a penis reduction. now i just have the one” (instead of two??) oh, ricky. to see the winners… well, at least the ones YOU care about… scroll down to the bottom for the full list!

and now, for some fashion.

the red carpet was all about the purple! which, of course, i thoroughly enjoyed. sandra bullock (in bottega venetta), leona lewis (in roberto cavalli), rose byrne (in lanvin), fergie (in elie saab) & jane krakowski (in j. mendel) all represented the color of royalty with beauty & grace.

on to the best & worst! jennifer aniston threw on this valentino gown, looking effortless and as gorgeous as ever. but it was truly the young hollywood crowd that took over my best picks. dianna agron, star of the tv show “glee” looked stunning in reem acra. perfect, perfect, perfect.

“avatar” star zoe saldana picked her louis vuitton dress no doubt for the color – the plum looks dazzling on her skin tone! actress camilla belle showed us exactly how to do the short dress in her giorgio armani piece… rarely do i like the short length for awards’ nights, but this is ravishing.

wrapping up my top 5 is another “glee” cast member – lea michele. her oscar de la renta gown was my absolute favorite of the evening. she’s got it down!

now brace yourself, it’s about to get bad. these ladies were pure disappointment. mariah carey brought some golden globes of her own, the poor gal. put those darn things away! and heidi klum – who we rarely see on the “worst dressed” list, is getting panned for her bizarre barbie-esque number.

90210 starlet annalynne mccord’s dress? she swung and missed with this grecian gown… it looks as if there’s a bit too much “cupping” going on up there. not flattering. funny lady tina fey chose a zac posen ensemble… with the ever-so-ugly calf-length flare.

christina aguilera walked the red carpet as a presenter with her “burlesque” co-star, cher. her peach versace gown had promise – until of course the metallic bodice took over. so close, christina!

television’s big night

it’s the celebration of television! the emmy awards, hosted by neil patrick harris, featured a plethora of your favorite shows & stars – all there to honor the industry’s best. the telecast garnered a viewership of 13.3 million, an impressive 11% increase from last year’s show.

we’re all used to ’30 rock’ being big winners, which of course this year they were as well (best comedy, best lead actor), but i was happy to see some other well-deserved victories. the lovely toni collette won the emmy for best actress in a comedy series (‘united states of tara’). and for his role as ben in ‘lost’, michael emerson won best supporting actor. i also thought it was very fitting for justin timberlake to win best guest host for his hilarious stints on ‘saturday night live.’ click here for a full list of this year’s honorees.

but let’s be honest – you just wanna know who looked good and who failed miserably! best dressed, shall we? i have to give it up to ‘eastwick’ star lindsay price. my oh my she looked stunning in a dress by j. mendel. and emmy award-winning actress toni collette found this drop-dead gorgeous monique l’huillier gown. just plain WOW. who would’ve thought that toni would show up in – of all things – a pink, frilly dress!

as for the worst? well, see for yourself. blake lively, star of ‘gossip girl,’ was on track with a beautiful versace gown… that is until she sliced it down to her navel. it’s just a bit much, yes? and the long, braided ponytail is a little too ‘xena warrior princess’ for my taste. then there’s poor sarah silverman. definitely not a flattering look on her! this is all sorts of wrong. especially the weird hip-bouffant action going on.

 

 

 

the trend of the night? white gowns. we’ve got january jones (‘mad men’) in atelier versace, olivia wilde (‘house’) in marchesa, leighton meester (‘gossip girl’) in bottega veneta & kim kardashian in ina soltani. january & olivia, i’m loving it. as for the other two ladies, i’m not as enthused. kim must’ve known she would get some ‘saturday night fever’ cracks in that outfit!
