Most wonderful time of the year....

Howdy friends. 

Yes, I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything. Yes, I need a life update post for those of you live far away. No, this post has nothing to do with Christmas.

IT'S AWARDS SHOW SEASON!!!

I know this makes me a little shallow, but I simply adore sitting around with my girlfriends critiquing the red carpet gowns and cheering for some of the critically acclaimed movies and actors.

I am cheering for The King's Speech to go all the way. Colin Firth did an incredible job and I just loved their portrayal of such an important time in Britain's history. 

Last night was the Golden Globes. This one is one of my favorite shows because they allow drinking there... you never know what will happen toward the end of the night. Ricky Gervais hosted again and though some of his remarks were off color, you have to admit he was funny. He's one of those equal opportunity offenders.

The 80's made a bit of a comeback last night... talk about some serious shoulder pads. I think they might have robbed my mom's hidden stash. Some of the ladies rocked the look and others, well, not so much!

For my money, the best dressed ladies of the night were Catherine Zeta-Jones, Claire Danes and Kyra Sedgwick. 

Other lovely ladies were Mila Kunis, Eva Longoria and Lea Michelle.

On the not-so-best dressed list... I would put January Jones, JLo, Scarlett Johanssen, and Anne Hathaway. Tilda Swinton and Helena Bonham Carter deserve a category of weird all their own. For HBC, it works... for Tilda, not so much.

Jane Krakowski had the best baby bump of the evening. Chris Colfer from Glee had the best acceptance speech. 

All in all, it was a great evening with my roomie and some of my best gal pals... we ate, we laughed, we judged.  I cannot wait for the SAG awards and the grand-daddy of them all... Oscar!
