2013 Golden Globes

As always, tonight's Golden Globes from the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles were a great show.

And as promised, hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler left me laughing with some great zingers:

{Though they weren't on stage nearly enough.}

Poehler:

I haven't really been following the controversy over Zero Dark Thirty, but "when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron."

Fey:

"You know what Taylor Swift, you stay away from Michael J. Fox’s son."

But like every year, the night was full of hits and misses.

My thoughts:

Best Dressed

Zooey Deschanel

{Oscar de la Renta}

Jennifer Garner

{Vivienne Westwood}

Hayden Panettiere

{Roberto Cavalli}

Leonardo DiCaprio

Not My Favorites:

{I hate to say "worst"}

Jennifer Lopez - and all the ladies that wore lace that was strategically placed

Kristen Wiig

{You can afford more material - especially where you get a mark across your midsection from sitting}

Best Speech/Reaction

Adele

{Best Original Song - Skyfall}

Ben Affleck

{Best Director - Argo}

Best Moment

ER Reunion - Carol Hathaway & Doug Ross

{Julianna Margulies & George Clooney}

"I'm Over It" TV Commercials

Target: The Everyday Collection

I love what Target has done the last few years to align themselves with high fashion and cutting edge designers.  

But these commercials are too much.  Boxed cake mix and eggs are not high fashion.

Cadillac

Okay Cadillac, I get it.  I liked it the first time but your car can do amazing things.

What did you all think?

Until tomorrow . . .

Good Will Hunting - 15 Years Later

I can't believe it has been almost 15 years since this:

{In 1997/98 I was a freshman at UC Berkeley.  Seems like so long ago!}

But this week I ran across an article on Boston.com

{How d'ya like them apples "Good Will Hunting" celebrates 15th anniversary}

that re-visited the movie after 15 years and talked to some of the players.

Including its two leading men: Damon and Affleck.

The article is a great look at how the movie got made and the different roads it could have taken.

I recommend reading it if you liked the movie or have an interest in the world of Hollywood.

Hearing how these two navigated the waters is rather amusing.

After reading the article, I decided to watch "Good Will Hunting" again this weekend.

I had seen it a few times over the years but didn't remember the intricacies of the film, and it was every bit as good now as it was when released.

In my mind, it isn't too often that a movie like this holds up to time.

Excluding the obvious fashion and hairstyle choices!

As with anything, watching it again I picked up a few things I didn't notice before.

Here's what I learned tonight - 15 years later:

1. Matt and Ben look SO young.

2. To have experience, you have to have more experiences.

3. Ben Affleck can really rock white socks and boat shoes.

4. A true best friend is one of the most valuable things in the world.

5. Robin Williams gets really mad when you steal his material.

Until tomorrow . . .
