The Golden Globes - Yes? No?

 

Nevermind the actual awards.  Am I going to have a red carpet extravaganza to look forward to?    Will there be a kaliedescopic parade of couture gowns sashaying into my living room anytime soon? (If you wear the 3D glasses, it really does seem as if they are walking into your living room).

The pre-awards show fashion circus is the real reason I watch the shows, and I'm preemptively depressed at the thought that there may not be a circus this year. 

How are the weekly magazines supposed to cope, without being able to post the comparative color-palette photo montage? 

 Are we going to miss another potentially stunning entrance like this?

 Where else am I supposed to get my Helen Mirren-fix? (LOVE her)

There won't be any photos of Jennifer Lopez with a fab hairdo, that I can spend hours in front of the mirror, knee deep in bobby pins and hairspray, attempting to duplicate.

 And Evangeline Lilly is typically the sole motivating factor in getting me on the treadmill.

 Although, to be honest, if I never see another stiff, tension-filled photo of this pair, I'd be okay.

 The Golden Globes are supposed to be fun!  Festive, shiny and happy!  And broadcast, for my viewing pleasure.

(Ed note: will continue to blame production studios, for not complying with writers' demands.  No Golden Globes AND still no new episodes of "The Office"?  You're killing me.)


 

Virtual Golden Globes

 

Sunday night, I should have been watching the Golden Globes Fashion Extravaganza, but I wasn't.  Due to the integrity of producers supporting the writers on strike, or whatever blah blah, it wasn't on. 

To stave off the fashion-cravings, I have created my own personal ideal red carpet procession.  This comes complete with my recommendations for who should be wearing what, naturally prefaced with the name of the designer, so you aren't all yelling out "WHO IS SHE WEARING?": 

 
(Armani Prive)  Marcia Cross - with that fantastic red hair, and without the monster dragonfly eating her head. 
 
 
 
(Armani) Katie Holmes - great shoulders. And I'm going to advise against the hat.  And the marriage to Tom Cruise.
 
 
(J Mendel) Renee Zellweger - super-slim hips.  And she looks great in darker colors. 
 
 
This is an awesome Carolina Herrera dress, and Renee Zellweger would probably be more likely to wear this, but in my Golden Globe world, it would be worn by Jennifer Aniston.  Girlfriend needs to add some color to the wardrobe, and she totally has the body to pull this off. 
 
 
(Gaultier) Cate Blanchett - and she could even do the headdress.  She's that fabulous.
 
 
 
(Roberto Cavalli) Amy Adams - and I still love her best from "Drop Dead Gorgeous".
 
 
(Bora Asku) Helena Bonham Carter - she enjoys a bit of the kooky, and we enjoy her, enjoying the kooky. 
 
 
(Badgley Mischka)  ME!  I want to wear this one!  Even if I am just sitting on the couch.  Okay, Minnie Driver.  She's fun. 
 
 
 
(Badgley Mischka) Glenn Close - just because.
 
 
 
 
 (Valentino) Charlize, or Nicole, or Allison Janney, or some other tall, lithe thing. 
 
 
(Valentino) Keira Knightley - and I know she'd wear some type of slip/bra, so it didn't look so much like a nightie.
 
 
And then, I'd love if Bjork showed up in something like this.  I know she's not nominated, or connected to any of the nominated projects, but this would just be fun:
