Woooo! It’s officially award season, which means I become super fashion judgmental and share my b*tchy, catty comments with all of you!

So let’s kick this off by recapping the Golden Globes, my favorite of all the award shows (probably because people have gotten drunk pre-speech.)

Best/Worst Moments: Award Show

Best:

  • Host/presenter: Ricky Gervais – Hilarious, drinking a beer and shamelessly self promoting. Love it all.
  • Quote: “It’s God crying for NBC,” said by Tina Fey during the NBC pre-show. So true. I hope NBC gets herpes for what it’s doing to Conan.
  • Acceptance speeches: Glee cast, Sandra Bullock and Robert Downey Jr. A nice mix of silly, sweet and sincere.

Worst:

  • Presenters: Felicity Huffman/Mickey Rourke – Guess reading isn’t fundamental.
  • Quote: “Give it up for yourselves,” James Cameron. Seriously, are you kidding me?
  • Commercial: Chrysler, thanks for inviting ME to keep watching the Golden Globes, which I was already watching on MY TV. FAIL.
  • Acceptance speech: Anything with James Cameron.
  • Camerawork: Too many moments to mention. NBC can’t even produce the show correctly? Who was controlling the camera throws?


Best/Worst Moments: Fashion

I have to say, this was difficult to write because I loved a lot of the dresses last night. But alas, I had to call out the ones that really shined and should have stayed at home.

Best dressed male/female:

Penelope Cruz


67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

I could not take my eyes off Penelope whenever she was on screen. Hair, dress, jewelry are all flawless. That’s a movie star.

Cory Monteith


67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

Yes, I have a Glee crush on him, but the classic Hugo Boss suit can never go wrong on any guy.

Best dressed couple:

Amy Poehler and Will Arnett


67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

They make anything from the Gap to evening wear look adorable. Love Amy’s dress, too.

Worst dressed female (tied):

Julianne Moore


Golden Globe Awards 2010 - RED CARPET

I have a feeling Tom Ford dressed her in this unflattering, shapeless ensemble, and it breaks my heart.

Chloe Sevigny


67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

I love ruffles, too, but I don’t LOVE ruffles. Too much. Way too much.

Best skank-free look:

Christina Aguilera

Another great, age-appropriate, classy look with a bit of edge. Also, I’m glad that she left the buttless chaps at home this time.

An ode to Sham-Wow:

Jennifer Morrison


67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

Hate the color, hate the overdone texture and that oversize bun (not shown). Not flattering, but she could pick up any spills with that dress.

Needs a reminder she’s not 20 anymore:

Jennifer Aniston


67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Press Room

We get it, Jen, you’re single, 40 and free. But I don’t want to see your “see you next Tuesday.” Sometimes covering up is classier than showing it all off.

Dress doesn’t match body type:

Lea Michele


67th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals

She has an amazing voice, but this full-volume skirt just doesn’t work on her. Just because it’s De La Renta doesn’t make it right.

Tina Fey


Golden Globe Awards 2010 - RED CARPET

I usually love Tina’s choices, but this skirt isn’t working for me or for her petite frame.

Confused a nightgown with a dress:

Halle Berry


The Pressroom at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards!

We get it, you’re hot and a mom. Go back to bed or pump in the bathroom.

Project Runway graduation:

Christina Hendricks

Wearing Christian Siriano – Love the color and way it compliments her skin tone and hair. Ka-boom on

Who liked Kate Hudson's dress? I really liked it. 

And a big resounding YES on the crappy camera work. It was like amateur hour. But hey, they ended on time!

I did like Kate Hudson's dress but it wasn't a standout from the night. Lots of women were going with the structured bodices. But you're right, ending on time is key, the Oscars can't even say that :)

I loved Jennifer Aniston's dress. She pulled it off beautifully. I think it broadcasted her confidence, poise and great body.

*Sigh* I'd better go workout tomorrow.
