Golden Globes 2011 -Awards Recap

I still can't believe they asked Ricky Gervais back again this year. He was just as naughty, and just as entertaining as last year.

Social Network and Glee hogged most of the awards. Yay for Aaron Sorkin, Jane Lynch, and Chris Colfer.
While I was happy that Glee won, I thought that some of the other shows deserved it more. -I thought it was Modern Family's turn or that it would go to The Big C.
-I was so glad to see Chris Colfer win he did a great job this season. Plus he definitely won best acceptance speech. -Too adorable.
-Glee had 2 tables, so they had the biggest cheer squad of any group...or at least the biggest that got to actually cheer!

I was glad Laura Linney won for The Big C, but it sucked that she wasn't there (I'm guessing she was in NY with her play). She always gives good speeches.
-I was just super glad Piper Perabo didn't win for Covert Affairs....I like the show and all, but the others were much more deserving.

While I am not a fan of The Big Bang Theory, I can appreciate it. While I didn't care if it won or not, I find it really really interesting that the show has started being nominated 3 seasons in. I have found that usually shows get nominated in their first and second seasons, and then the nominations start to die off. But for a show to start getting recognition so late in the series run, it gives me hope for some of my other shows that have never gotten the recognition they deserve.

-Kaley Cuoco presenting the award to Jim Parsons was adorable by the way. Its nice to see actors so happy for their co-stars.


In terms of movie awards. I actually hadn't seen many of them this year. In terms of big awards, I'd only seen The Social Network, and The King's Speech.
-I was glad that Colin Firth won for TKS. He was really good in it.
-I thought Love and Other Drugs was good, but not really that great, so I wasn't fussed about that not taking any awards.
-Yay for Toy Story 3. I've loved those toys for years and that 3rd movie was heartbreakingly awesome.


Overall not the most exciting awards. I think I'm just really nostalgic for the good old days when Sex and The City and all those others used to get nominated, and ruled the awards. They seem to be all over the place now, and kinda boring. There were not even that many presenters of quality this year...especially not THAT many from NBC!

Bring on the SAGs.
