And the Most Awkward Award Goes To…
Sadly, due to time constraints, the Golden Globe Awards ended prematurely last night before the last category was announced. We speak, of course, of the Most Awkward Golden Globe for which there were five worthy contenders:
· Ben Stiller, who introduced the film Borat with the unfunny joke, “You will laugh, you will cry, you will see a man hold a bag of his own poop – and, no, I’m not talking about Rocky Balboa.”
· Meryl Streep, who stopped to talk to Jack Nicholson‘s daughter, Lorraine, on her way to the retrieve the award for best performance by an actress in a comedy and started her acceptance speech, “I told Lorraine she came to a birthday party at my house in Beverly Hills with snakes. We had snakes! But then we moved back east.”
· Helen Mirren’s breasts. There’s just something weird about seeing cleavage on a gray-haired woman. That’s just the way it is.
· Annette Bening’s forced smile during all the “Your husband has had sex with everyone” jokes.
· Arnold Schwarzenegger, who ended the evening in character as the Terminator saying, “Don’t forget next year. We’ll be back!” He should have at least opted for the “I’m the pawty poopah” bit from Kindergarten Cop.

I disagree about Helen Mirren — she’s still way sexy. If i look that good at 62 i’ll be wearing a dress like that myself.

I too tend to disagree regarding Helen Mirren. She’s an elegant women with a fabulous figure (which I am envious of!) and the dress was quite lovely and tasteful. Remember that comment that you made when YOU get to be that age and want to still be regarded as a sexy woman — not a piece of upholstered furniture or something in the background to be disregarded.

She is SO ELEGANT and BEAUTIFUL–she probably picked up tips on how to be MAJESTIC by portraying BOTH Queen Elizabeth I and II.

Helen looked great. Arnold was a dud. He didn’t even say the line right. *rolls eyes*..lol. I kind of felt bad for Annette Benning. She didn’t look very happy when that speil was going down. Tasteless on their part.

It’s definitely not typical to see cleavage on a woman her age, but I think Ms. Mirren pulled it off. She’s in good shape and is obviously unafraid to show her sensual side. Kudos to her!
