Yay!! Dresses and mean jokes about Hollywood!
Ricky Gervais was hilariously out of control last night, making jokes about the airbrushed SATC2 poster and how terrible The (nominated) Tourist was. See a rundown of every funny-awkward-funny jibe here. Many have speculated he went too far, but I only thought he really crossed the line in making a Scientologists are gay joke--we all know, Ricky, but outing people isn't funny. Movieline has pointed out that Gervais essentially pulled off the Emperor's new clothes of Hollywood, un-self-awaringly illustrated by this quote from the HFPA: "Ricky will not be invited back to host the show next year, for sure. [A]ny movie he makes he can forget about getting nominated. He humiliated the organization last night and went too far with several celebrities whose representatives have already called to complain."
Gawker has their take on the most memorable moments. Dave Karger contemplates how the wins affect Oscar predictions. Complete winner's list here. For my take, it looks like The Social Network is dominating, but I wonder if the academy doesn't want something more feel-good. I hope Annette Benning beats Natalie Portman, and I think she has a good chance, given the Academy's penchant for career-achievement awards. I think supporting actress is a wide-open race, and wish Hailee Steinfeld were getting more love (she was not nominated for the globes).
And the fashion: The Fug Girls have the best and worst outfits over at NYMag. Tom and Lorenzo (bless them) have parts 1, 2, and 3, as well as a rundown of the men.
What did you think of the hugely mean-spirited and mildly sinister show last night? (To paraphrase Robert Downey, Jr.)
