At this point, the Golden Globes probably won't go as smoothly as previous years. Many actors won't be crossing the picket lines on Sunday to get to the show, but just because there won't be any strutting on the red carpet that doesn't mean we're not ready for our close up. Learn The Art of Posing and create your own red carpet this year with fun tips and lessons.

Since the writers' strike is putting a damper on the Golden Globe's red carpet (sniff), I thought it would be fun to go back and reminisce about the best-dressed ladies of the Globe's red carpet.

Which Entertainment Awards Do You Respect the Most?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 05:00:00 -0700

As I'm preparing my coverage of the 2007 Primetime Emmy Awards, I'm wondering if you think one of the big four awards organizations tends to get it right more often than the others.

TV Tonight: The Golden Globe Awards, Again

BuzzSugar — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 13:45:13 -0800

Sure, you already know who won the Golden Globe Awards. But if you missed the chance to see America Ferrera's adorable breakdown, or Sacha Baron Cohen's ode to his co-star's butt, or the "Grey's Anatomy" cast when they still got along, you've got another chance tonight. Bravo is rebroadcasting the awards twice, so you can analyze every dress and every shot of tipsy celebs. To watch Hugh Laurie give one of my favorite acceptance speeches of the evening, read more

Movie Night: Going For the Golden Globes

BuzzSugar — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 11:58:15 -0800

So many movies, so little time. Thankfully, BuzzSugar is here to help you sort through them all! Each week, I'll choose a theme for a Movie Night and feature three must-see movies in keeping with that theme. This week's theme: Golden Globe Best Picture winners.

This year's Golden Globe winner for Best Picture Drama was Babel, a movie that reinforces the idea that emotion has no language. When I started looking back at the Best Drama winners over the past 10 years, I noticed that many of the Globe winners seem to address this universality of emotions, and three of my favorites really stood out. For the best Best Picture, Drama, winners over the past decade, the winners are...

American Beauty
This 2000 Golden Globe winner brings us a tale of the seemingly perfect, suburban Burnham family. Beneath the surface, however, all-American dad Lester (Kevin Spacey) is bored to the point of hopeless depression. While his wife (the incredible Annette Benning) comes rapidly unhinged, Lester begins to obsess over his teenage daughter's friend. Meanwhile, the daughter, Jane (Thora Birch), starts a friendship with the quiet, artsy boy next door who lives with his homophobic father. Not only is the screenplay extremely well-written, but the cinematography is also so gorgeously moving it lends a timelessness to this sad yet compelling portrait of "the good life" in American suburbia.

The Hours
The 2003 Best Drama winner, The Hours, is an adaptation of a superbly written novel by Michael Cunningham, which weaves together the lives of three women from three different time periods. Nicole Kidman deservedly won the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf, a gifted writer battling depression in the 1920s. Julianne Moore plays Laura Brown, a 1950s housewife struggling with the weight of being a mother and wife first, an individual second. In yet another moving performance, Meryl Streep plays Clarissa Vaughn, a modern-day Mrs. Dalloway living in Manhattan and caring for her terminally ill ex-lover. As the characters attempt to figure out what it means to be a 20th century woman, each actress delivers a remarkable performance, using sensitivity, intelligence, and strength to buffer the self-pity that might have diminished the characters in the hands of less skillful actresses.

Brokeback Mountain
Last year's winner, Brokeback Mountain, has been fodder for seemingly endless parody, and at times it borders on overly sentimental. Yet it is still a stunning movie about a love that withstands time, conventional values, and even language, since the film depicts a relationship for which its participants are afraid to assign a name. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger are cowboys working on Brokeback Mountain in 1963. Living and camping together every day and night, their friendship progresses into something deeper, and over the next 20 years, their efforts to hide the truth of themselves from their families and peers complicates their lives and their relationship.

Golden Globe Awards: The TV Acting Winners

BuzzSugar — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 14:51:37 -0800

The Golden Globes get a lot of press for which movies they honor, but I'm always glad they invite TV folks to the party, too (and not just because I like seeing big- and small-screen stars getting tipsy together). The Emmys are a long way off, and this way, some of the great shows of the fall season can get some early recognition. Besides picking "Ugly Betty" and "Grey's Anatomy" as the best series, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association also made interesting picks - some obvious, some less so - in the acting categories.

So far, you're saying that Alec Baldwin was the biggest surprise winner at the Globes. I haven't been shy about telling you my feelings about Alec, and I was thrilled to see him win (even though it meant two of my other boyfriends, Steve Carrell and Zach Braff, had to go home empty-handed). While "Scrubs" and "The Office" are established ensemble comedies, "30 Rock" is funny mainly because of Baldwin, whether he's secretly dating Condoleeza Rice or professing his love for Phil Collins. Yes, this is coming from someone who believes her life would be better if she had a talking Alec Baldwin doll on her desk, but I believe his win was well-deserved.

Speaking of people who make their shows work, Hugh Laurie almost had to win for "House." He is "House," and the show wouldn't be the same if anyone else played the grouchy doctor. He won last year, though, so I was a little surprised to see him repeat. My money would have been on Michael C. Hall for "Dexter" or Kiefer Sutherland for "24" (though the show's late start this season might have hurt his chances).

I've never seen "The Closer," so I really can't say much about Kyra Sedgwick's win for best actress in a drama. That category seemed a little strange, though - on the whole, I thought the best actor nominees were stronger. Are there really just not that many great female-led dramas right now?

A few more thoughts, so read more

The supporting actor and actress categories at the Globes always frustrate me, because I so rarely watch TV movies. It seems odd to me that movies, miniseries, and series get smushed together. Wouldn't it be different to evaluate someone's work in a two-hour movie and in a 23-episode series? Maybe I'm just bummed because Masi Oka didn't get to give a speech.

I'm still a little weirded out to see America Ferrera outside her Betty costume, which just proves how fully she's become that character. She's taken a caricature and made her someone I'd like to have as a friend. Much as I do love Mary-Louise Parker in "Weeds," it's nice to see a newcomer rewarded.

Anyone know the deal with the blue puzzle pieces Alec Baldwin and Steve Carrell were wearing? Just wondering.
