Carly Watches the Golden Globe.

Just a warning: there will be NOTHING profound here. It's literally just me sitting with my computer, writing down stupid, pointless stuff as I watch the Golden Globes.

6:33pm :

Flicking between this Dance show, like American Idol, and Red Carpet coverage.

It’s the final for season two, apparently, and the crews are called Super Crew and SoReal Cru, I think. Might have to check on the spelling. The winner looks pretty clear to me, but we’ll see how it turns out. Hey look, one of the judges is JC from NSync.

Playing Minesweeper and Spider Solitaire during the commercials. What Feature Writing homework?

I still don’t actually know what channel the Golden Globes are on.

6:37 :

Alec Baldwin! Ryan Seacrest is such a tool. Is that Jay from America’s Next Top Model? He’s doing a Glamastrator, poking at a screen and drawing on actresses. At least he’s not as obnoxious as Ryan. Alec Baldwin is chewing gum and blowing bubbles. I think I love him even more. He just hijacked the interview, literally taking the microphone out of Seacrest’s hands. Oh my God he’s putting Ryan on the spot and it’s so awkward, I think I’m going to burst.

That’s a ‘no’ on the Jack and Liz hook up. But I completely agree with him, 30 Rock would be over if they ever got together. The cute moments and crazy tension would be over, and that’s the best part. I love the dynamic of their relationship, and how much it’s changed. I want to see it keep changing, even if that means suffering through without ever having them as an official item.

Alec… is so hilarious, and I think he just pissed Ryan off. And he’s off, gallantly down from the E! platform, to rebel against some other interviewer, I suppose. A man’s work is never done.

Yeah, I’m on a first name basis with most of the stars in Hollywood. Cough.

6:45 :

Talking about Amy Adams and Meryl Streep in their movie next year. Now some poll. Did I miss something? I saw Rachel Getting Married. I hated it. And one of my biggest issues with it was Anne Hathaway and her inability to act. Which isn’t bias, because I like her in other things. She was just terrible. What was it? Because they crammed in drugs and sex? Oh, look how against character and edgy it is! Pfft. I don’t even want to consider seeing it again, you know? Because that would mean… seeing it again, and I just… I don’t want to do it. I remember walking out of the theater, turning to my friend, and saying “I’ve seen enough of that movie to last my life”, meaning I never have to see it again.

Eva Longoria. I don’t watch Desperate Housewive’s, so this really doesn’t mean much. Ryan is still being a tool.

AARON ECKHART! I. Love. This. Man. Suddenly interested in this interview. He’s a handsome man. The Dark Knight. Hmmm. No comment.

Some crowd shots. Oh, there’s Amy Adams. She’s so cute. I want to squish her. Oh look, Miley Cyrus just showed up. Nice. I don’t really have a beef against her, as so many my age seem to do. Debra Messing arrives, looking pretty but not… memorable. Some actors from House. Christina Applegate in yellow. I don’t know who Ryan is interviewing right now.

I need to watch more TV, I suppose.

Jonas Brothers showed up. Thousands of teenage girls just peed themselves.

6:57 :

Losing interest in the red carpet stuff. I find these people so annoying, even though I can understand how hard their jobs are, and how they have to keep talking, flying by the seat of their pants. Still getting a head ache.

Seriously though, what channel is the actual awards show on?

7:00 :

Found it! Or maybe not. It’s another pre-show. Puh.

You know, we all know Heath is going to win Best Supporting actor. I’m sorry, but that irritates me. I know, his performance was good. Great even. But I honestly believe other actors in that category did harder, more intricate, and ultimately more award-worthy work. Yeah yeah, I’m an awful person. Whatever.

Oh, Amy showed up! She’s so cute. Quiet, and pretty.

Here’s another pretty lady. Elizabeth Banks. The idea that she’s playing a possible murderer in The Unwelcomed. Hahaha. I love it.

7:16 :

Is Maggie Gyllenhaal remarkably tall, or is Ryan Seacrest stupidly short? She’s having some issues with this question, but… it’s sweet, in a way, the way she’s dodging around it. It feels, I don’t know. Respectful, but, elusive. Hahah.

Decided to stop watching the pre show stuff and see who wins this dance show. I’ve been invested in them for about an hour! I must know.

7:21 :

Dang. Not the ones I wanted to win.

It’s funny, I’m flicking through three preshows and… these poor actors. The same thing over and over. How silly. And I love that everyone from the Dark Knight is pretty much a spokesperson for Heath Ledger right now. I guess it is the big topic for everyone, with his nomination and possible, very likely, posthumous win.

7:32 :

Distracted by House. That always seems to happen.

Clicked back to the E! show, since it seems to be the ‘furthest along’. Kate and Leo. Kate is hilarious. She says she hates Leo, and it was awful being back together on screen. I love that she’s sarcastic like that. She did it for The Holiday, with Jack Black. I love it.

Greg Proops! On Teen Nick. Hahah. I love him. He’s pouting, and has wild fluffy hair. And just sounded a bit like Peanut from Jeff Dunham’s shows.

I think I’ve settled on watching The Simpsons until the Golden Globe’s actually start.

TINA AND AMY! I love it.

Why do my fucking obnoxious neighbors have to start yelling at each other twenty minutes out from the Golden Globes? If I had a weapon, I’d be chasing them away from my door. Yell at each other in the common rooms, or behind closed doors, you moronic wastes of matter.

I just saw a commercial for House and there was a scene… that makes me want to start watching that show every day again. Why did I stop? I clearly still love it. It’s come up twice when I’m supposed to be watching something else.

Oh. Shit. Robert Downey Jr. I’m so glad I clicked back. Oh man. I’m so ridiculously addicted to this man. It hurts. He looks wild. Hahaha. He’s a fascinating one, that creature. He’s… crazy. I don’t know what it is about him. Damaged? Healing? Still crazy? Not perfect. Talented, definitely. Just fascinating. I feel like I can’t say what I want to say, as if he’s reading and that would be fucking creepy. Oh, random person making assumptions about me? Yeah, that’s new. Particularly on the internet, in some nameless blog that three people read, give or take a couple.

Yo ho. Paranoia.

8:00 :

Here we go!

It’s channel five for me, by the way. Glad I found it.

Whoa, what a weird, but pretty venue. Jennifer Lopez matches the stage. Starting with Best Supporting Actress. Something weird happened there, and Jennifer had to call for their attention, but that was funny. Amy Adams, being cute. I just saw Doubt the other day, so it’s in my head. Ooooh, Viola Davis from Doubt. She stole that one scene she was in, she really did. But at her most pivotal line in her monologue, which she yelled, the sound shut out. We literally had no idea what she said, and it was kind of hilarious. I heard other people going ‘wtf?’

Kate Winslet! She’s so pretty, and so talented. Emma Thompson patted her on the shoulders on the way up. Hahahahahah. She has a habit of ‘not winning things’ and she tried to put it down and it ‘didn’t feel right’. She’s so breathless and flustered. I love her. But wow, what if you wrote that and you didn’t win? I couldn’t imagine writing a speech like that, without any kind of certainty about winning. I don’t think she’s the kind of person who just thought she had it in the bag. Maybe she is, though? Who knows, I can’t guess.

This uh… this speech is getting long, but she’s aware of it. Won’t stop her though.

Composer, singer and social activist. Best original song, eh? I’m not sure I care about it. I love the song from Bolt… but I’m a goof ball. I’m disappointed at how few of these movies I’ve seen.

9:06 :

Had to go outside to watch the first hour because my retard neighbor was being really loud. But then a bunch of RA’s came into the common to do a poster or something, so now I’m back in my room. This social anxiety really sucks. You have no idea how I feel right now. It’s like it’s an excuse, but it’s not. It’s sickening. I feel disgusting. And useless. My throat and chest are really tight. I can’t stand dealing with this, but I try. I don’t even know what set it off. So someone was listening to music, and so people wanted to use the common room? But I’m shaking. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. I want to hide and be alone, but it’s impossible.

And I called that Heath Ledger award, didn’t I?

Everyone did.

Seriously.

Everyone.

I’m feeling stressed and sick, and I haven’t done my homework yet. But I’m trying really hard to be a good student. Or even just… a normal student… and just… get my homework done. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? And yet… here I am.

Not doing my homework. XD

“Paul Giamatti” Awkward Pause. “Thank you.”

I never caught Slumdog Millionaire, though I’ve heard great things. Oh! Amy Pohler and Patrick Dempsey. That’s a winning combo right there, methinks. Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock. My love. Oh snap. Steve Carrell in the Office. Also good. Now watch, one of these other two will win. Tony can’tspellhislastname is good.

HAHA Amy. You rock. Synchronized… not so much.

ALEC BALDWIN! SO MUCH WIN!

I didn’t get his joke either, audience.

Thank you Tina. <333333 That’s a heart with a lot of love in it, if you’re confused by the emote.

That’d be a sweet job, huh? Being one of the members that decides the winners? That’s hot, right there. And those three they listed, the ones who already know. Sign me up for that gig. Not that I’d want to ruin the novelty and majesty of watching the Golden Globes from my home, irritated by the constant commercial breaks. But if the opportunity to move up in the world presented itself, I might be convinced to take that option.

Why is everything happening to Paul? Another awkward pause! It’s a conspiracy.

I’m playing Chrono Trigger right now. I’m in the new… green vortex thing in

KEVIN SPACEY! I didn’t know he was nominated. He wasn’t there, but he didn’t win anyway. Still. Love that man.

…green vortex thing in Prehistory. I don’t know what I’m doing in here, though. Tina says it’s annoying, and there’s a lot of mountain running going on.

Comedy! My kind of category. Go go, 30 Rock! Oh the Office. Weeds! I’ve never seen it, but the best friend says it’s great and I have no will to disagree with her.

FUCK YEAH 30 ROCK! God that’s great. I love that show, it’s so clever and hilarious. Tina Fey kills me, with her talent and just… comedic genius. Absolutely kills me. She hid away from the microphone! Hahah, Tracy is talking for the show? I was looking forward to her. He’s kind of stupid and ruining it. Not too good at this speech thing. HAHAH. Alec to the rescue. I love him. I love this show. This cast. Everything. So cute. Just big smiles all around.

9:42 :

I just saw Mamma Mia! the other night. I loved it.

Hans Zimmer has a special place in my heart, but I’m not surprised by Slumdog Millionaire winning. Nor disappointed. Oh hey, that was the first ‘thanks God’ I’ve heard all night. But I might have been spacing out for it. Sometimes I zone out on speeches.

Tee hee. I love this woman. Her voice is so pretty. David… you know, I could take or leave. Haha. The ‘ordinary looking girl’ in the show Ugly Betty. That’s nice. TINA FEY!!!! The sheer amount of happy emanating from me is downright scary. She looks horrified and awe struck. Hahah, she had all the action figures as a kid. “Thank you Will Arnet, for the joke.” Hahahahaha. Oh my God. I love this woman.

9:58 :

Yeah, spaced out there. Steven Speilberg is getting an award, methinks. Since they’re showing scenes from all his movies. Ha. I’ve seen a lot of these. And liked a lot of these. Except 2008 Indy. Oh that’s right. He directed Columbo? Freaking sweet. Back to the Future was awesome. This man has had an amazing career.

And he’s an amazing speaker. He’s so inspirational and… passionate. That’s a love of his art, right there.

Aw, Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. I am so going to see your movie if it releases here on the 16th.

Sandra Bullock still gets work, huh? I’m in love with Dustin Hoffman. I don’t care if he gets the statue. He wins in my heart. What? I haven’t seen the movie? Yeah, that’s just a technicality.

Haha, the Golden Globes are in HD, huh? I thought those statues were particularly shiny. Or maybe I didn’t notice anything at all because I’m watching on a rather crappy, old TV in my dorm room. Ho hum.

I need to watch more movies.

News reporters here are awful. I wonder why that is? On the TV I think. I don’t consider them my people. –cough-

Oh, here’s the category I just know will piss me off. Of course I’m pulling for Meryl or Kate.

OH THANK GOD. If Anne Hathaway had won, good lord. Of course, that still leaves the door open for the Oscars, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Look at Kate! She looks like she’s about to pass out! She’s so freaking cute. She’s apologizing and she can’t think of who was nominated. She’s so freaking cute it hurts. I mean. My face hurts, I’m grinning so much. No words are coming out! She doesn’t know English any more! They’re all smiling at her. Awwwwwwwww.

I did see the end of it, but I was too sleepy to keep typing. XD
