tentoumushiThere were a lot of fugly dresses at the Golden Globes. The worst: Anna Paquin, Mariah Carey, and Cameron Diaz, all of them wearing dresses with short sleeves and plunging necklines.
My favorites include:
Zoe Saldana
Jennifer Anniston
Julianna Margulies
Mo'Nique
Lea Michele
In fact, the whole cast of Glee looked great. I didn't actually watch the Golden Globes, though. I was watching Human Target and 24.
I wasn't sold on Human Target. The characters were bland and boring, and it looks there will only be three recurring characters, and they're all men. Either Fox will cancel it five episodes in or it will be a huge hit. I'm not sure which I'd bet on.
The first two hours were surprisingly uneventful. Also, broken Jack is broken. He's so miserable and fucked up that it's just not fun anymore. Not that I think they should kill him off. I can't imagine 24 continuing without a larger than life character like Jack Bauer, and if they're not going to replace him, after all that he's been through, he deserves to retire to a nice little cottage by the sea and get a dog and take up knitting and tea-drinking. (I'm not holding my breath, though. I fully expect a dramatic death scene and bringing back everyone that's still alive for the funeral. And then in a few years they can finally get around to making a movie and we'll find out he's not actually dead.)
What I think they should do is fast forward 20 years and make Jack's granddaughter the lead. They could introduce more science-fictional elements and drastically alter the geopolitical situation. It would be awesome.
