The Golden Globes 2011 show on NBC was fun watching. All the celebrities dressed in their best appeared for the Golden Globes in California last Sunday. Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globes, while ‘The social network’ won most of the awards.
The Hollywood Press Foreign Association (HFPA) announce the Golden Globe awards annually to the best performances in the year. Operating since 1947, the Golden Globes is one of the most watched award shows apart from the Academy awards and the American music award show.
Colin Firth won the best male performance in ‘The King’s Speech’, Natalie Portman won the best female performance for ‘The Black Swan’, and ‘The Social Network’ won the best movie award. I think ‘The King’s Speech’ and ‘Black Swan’ would have been great for kids to watch if they were not the ‘R’ rated movies. Sometimes, it is sad that we cannot watch some of the good movies along with all the family members as they have the commercial elements and are not safe to watch with the kids. ‘The social network’, written by Aaron Sorkin, is a PG-13 movie. It is also a good movie and a real life example of how young teens turn out to be great entrepreneurs.
The award show was hosted by actor and comedian Ricky Gervais. His bold comments may have offended some of the audience and celebrities but I think everybody enjoyed his comments. In current industry, where everybody criticizes everybody, his comments are not as hurting if taken in a light manner. He hosted the show for the second consecutive year and do not be surprised if he gets one more opportunity next year.
Some of the best red carpet arrivals were Anne Hathway, Natalie Portman, Sandra Bullocks, Lea Michele, and Angelina Jolie among others. Some of the male presenters and winners such as Robert Pattinson, Justin Timberlake, Tom Hanks, Robert de Niro, and other stars look good in their best dresses. The guests at the show were looking tired of drinking, laughing, clapping, and cheering for their fellow stars. The award winners were emotional and overwhelmed and searching for words while thanking thier near and dears after the receiving the award. Overall, the show was fun to watch and good time pass on a Sunday evening. 🙂
