THE GOOD
DIANA AGRON usually dresses too old and severe, but this dress was young, interesting and fresh. I love the ruby red up by her face and the red lip to match. NATALIE PORTMAN scored again in this chic pink gown with perfect, subtle hair and make-up. HELEN MIRREN you are amazing. Gorgeous, age appropriate and sexy like crazy, you old broad! Well done.
MORE GOODNESS
LOVING THE NUDE
I know. I have disparaged nudes on this blog before, but when it's done right...it works! CHARLISE THERON was best dressed of the night. I usually don't like odd appendages coming off gowns in the form of bows or flounces, but this totally works. And I just loved the jeweled headband. JESSICA ALBA carried this nude sine it is not too close to her skin color. It's so soft and feminine and fits perfectly. JULIE BOWEN...stepped it up! Her hair is so 'Old Hollywood' glam. Adore.
FUNNY-LADY CURSE LIFTED?
Wha?! Has the funny lady curse lifted?!! MELLISSA McCARTHY finally gets it right. The gown is fancy enough, the right material and fit well. I am not a huge fan of the hair, but it's not a deal breaker. TINA FEY has never looked so good. There's still room for improvement, but this is totally in the right direction. And AMY POHLER was perfection. Look at how young she looks! Her Emmy look was severe, hard and aging and this is exactly the opposite.
THE BAD
ANGELINA JOLIE has this weird red stripe along the top of her gown which was really out of place. And the gown itself was full-on satin. Not a good fabric to wear on the red-carpet. JULIANNA MARGULISE looks like she is in a lavender straight-jacket. When everything is too covered up you look like you're choking. Remember when Amy Adams did this at the Emmys? CLAIRE DAINES paired too many hard lines and elements. With a gown as angular and contrasting as this she needed soft hair and makeup. Oh and her shade of coral lipstick was killing me.
THE UGLY
AMANDA PEET looks like she stole a lace doily of her Grandmother's table and sewed it into a flouncy, unflattering mess. Sheesh! MERYL STREEP. You're insane. A western shirt with nude cut-outs and a super-wide and hip enhancing skirt? Are you sure?! CONNIE BRITTON dressed for a fourth grade Valentine's dance, not the Golden Globes.
BAD NEWS IN BLUE
SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR looks insane in a tie dyed dress. It's a shame because the cut and fit of the dress isn't bad. It doesn't look young and hip...just nutso. JODIE FOSTER wore a bridesmaids dress from 1984. See you can wear them again! KELLY OSBORNE from the blue hair to the massive blue dress to the pointy shoulder-pads this was a Smurf's delight. Seriously...why is her hair blue?

i believe you nailed it! There were a lot better looks at this show than in the past.
It's weird, I thought a lot of the women wore "anti-boob" dresses! So many of them had very high fronts..just as you described looking like they were choking! lol
Overall, they were a conservative bunch. I agree with you especially about that tie die dress. As soon as I saw it I was WHAT?
I have a theory that some women wear "bad" dresses to the early awards shows so that they can really contrast with a "good" dress at the Oscars and up the wow factor. Angelina Jolie looked like a really scary vampire-such creature. And not in a good way. In a run away fast or she will get you way.
As your only male reader I feel obligated to tell you that it is always wrong to speak negatively about Angelina Jolie.
That's all.
Bwahahaha!
Loved it, as always. ♥
Hahahaha!! I think you are spot on in every comment. And I think there may be some trouble in paradise for Brangelina. She does not look happy AT ALL, in pictures or in the telecast. Jimmy, this may be your chance!! Kim B in N.J.
Natalie Portman? On the good? Are you kidding me? What was the weird thing sticking out of the side of her dress, like the wicked stepsisters on Cinderella? I'm sorry but that was awful. I also disagree with your Amy Poehler. Your picture is more flattering than mine, but I just don't think that dress does her any favors.
I also loved the nudes, all 3 that you put almost made my post but in the end I left them out.
Also Jimmy's comment made me laugh out loud. Dave thinks Kate Beckinsale takes the cake one thousand times over Angelina. I agree.
Agreed--especially Angelina Jolie, who looks like she's right out of Mao Zedong's army. Though I didn't think Jodie Foster's dress was that bad.
I thought Salma Hayek looked super awesome. Did you see her?
oh man! we don't match! the laser cut dragons! meh to natalie portman... i saw better, more amazing than that. amen to viola davis, amen to evan rachel wood. so peacock-y. charlize theron looked ill... i mean, she was... and she looked it. JESSICA ALBA is the winner of the night in my book. julie bowen was tooo nude. like, naked nude. meh, meh, melissa and tina. love amy poehler. angelina is weird... this is so true to form. and i agree with you on the rest. sarah michelle gellar is the worst of the worst of the WORST!
i've scheduled time in my day tomorrow to blog about this. dangerously late, i know! sofia vergara! paula patton! kate beckinsale! i took notes and everything!
I have to say it was refreshing seeing Angelina in something other than black for once. I liked her choice.
I kept waiting for Natalie Portman's baby to jump out from under the right side of her dress. That was an oddly placed bustle in my opinion. But a great color choice.
And I would kill for madonna's bod...at any age. She's ripped! And how about "The moves like Jager" singer... smoking hot!
