SAG AWARDS

Once again I was watching these late because I am working. Started with the Red Carpet Monday night. I must say the dresses were FAR superior to those worn at the golden globes.

Fave dresses include: Emily Blunt, Emma Stone, Ariel Winter, Sofia Vergara, Kaley Cuoco.

Steve Carrell has to keep working and getting nominated for awards cause I'm going to miss him and Nancy on the red carpet, they are adorable!

As for the awards, it was all very very predictable.  I was glad Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis won for The Help, and very excited for the cast to win! -Allison Janney doesn't NEED any more awards, but she will always deserve them! And look at little Chris Lowell from Private Practice all dressed up and getting awards!
Yay for Modern Family!!! I was glad Glee didn't win...I would have like The Good Wife to win for best drama though...they always get all dressed up and never win.

I've always loved the sags cause it's all actors all the time! Plus foxtel hasn't shown them in previous years, so I'm glad it's back on again this year!
Had to wait till tonight to watch the actual awards, but they're short and sweet so I'm just glad its not taking me all night like the Globes!
I found the presenters all a bit boring, with the exception of my SNL and NBC comedy peeps.
I'd forgotten about the 'In Memoriam'...seeing as they don't do it at the Golden Globes. Sooo many good actors gone, but not forgotten.

Overall it was good, but not that exciting. The people I wanted to win, mostly didn't...and I didn't really care THAT much anyways, none were MY people.

Next up is the Oscars, which I care even less about...'cept that Melissa McCarthy is nominated...which is AWESOME!!!

Golden Globes Wrap Up 2012

Red Carpet faves
Overall nothing blew me away.
Sarah Hyland looked Lovely.
Sofia Vergara's was an awesome color.
I liked Debra Messing's dress, but it could have used some color.
I guess Charlize Theron's dress was pretty too.

Mentionables -

Ariel Winter looking slightly more age appropriate, but still she maybe dresses a little too grown up.

Loved Sarah Paulson and Amanda Peet together again, and The Deschanel sister power couple!

It's an SNL party!!! Yay for my SNL peeps.

I love that some people are now huge stars, but I still remember way back to their early roles. It was feeling a little late 90's.

Worst Outfits
Sarah Michelle Geller....did someone throw paint at her...but I did LOVE the hair.

Piper Perabo's dress was interesting... Didn't love it. Too poofy.

Eek. Lea Michele...umm, didn't like it.

Best dressed guys
Mark Salling looks nice in a tux.
And Ashton Kutcher cleans up nice!!!! It's about time!


The Awards

I like Laura Dern, but I wanted my people from MY shows to win. I thought Zooey would win.

Gotta love Rob Lowe! And yay for Downton Abbey!

It sucked that I don't watch a single show that was up for best drama series...sad I used to watch them all back in the day. Damn Madmen for not being on last year.

Wait Missy Pyle is at the Globes?! Ohh she's in The Artist. Never mind. Stil seems wrong though.

Oh yeah that's what Sarah Paulson is in. Maybe I'll get to American Horror Story at some point.

Felicity Huffman and Bill Macy were hilarious, loved their little song.

Are we time traveling? Clare Danes and Jessica Lange...again?

So weird having Brian Benben at the globes. Would have been nice if Madeleine had won! She's awesome in Revenge!

aww yay Matt LeBlanc!

Ok it's still 2012, Bradley Cooper was not not around in the 90's.

Yay Octavia Spencer!!! I LOVED The Help!

Helen Mirren is SO awesome!!!

Yay Modern Family!!!! I know she can be annoying, but I find Sofia Vergara amusing!!! And how spiffy did the boys look in their tuxes!

Yeah...racist jokes right after showing off The Help aren't funny at all.

Yay Merryl!!!!!!! Hopefully I'll get to see The Iron Lady soon!

A New Year

Happy 2012! So far it is off to a good start. I'm working and have started the year debt free! I have also been able to save some money.

I had a quiet new years eve, spent it with the gang at Ness'. We went out for dinner which was nice. Had a few drinks and watched some tv before running around outside watching fireworks (and bogans).

I stayed at Ness' and we watched a few movies, and started Friday Night Lights. It's nice to be done with Everwood, it seemed to take over our hangout nights a little. So far FNL is good but nothing to make us crazy yet!

Been pretty quiet lately, it's been too hot on the weekends to do much. Last weekend I went to Chadstone with mum. They had a great sale at myer so I spent a bit. Got a new handbag, a beach towel, and a cafe press... All were good or awesome discounts!
Course we bought all we could carry and never got to any other stores!

Went to see Sherlock Holmes 2 on Sunday with Jacinta. It wasn't as good as the first one, but I enjoyed it and we had fun. 

This week is a full 5 day week at work, which after 2 short weeks is kind of a struggle. But I'm trying to get sleep. I'm also eating better now that the holiday period is over. But mum and Nikki are going away next week, so well see how I go then.

Wish me sleep!
