Here are my worst 10 from last night’s Golden Globes!  Tell me if you agree – disagree…whatever!

Angelina Jolie: Yes, I know this is the worst dressed.  And I dared to put Angelina Jolie on my “worst” list.  I  just didn’t like her dress.  I think it’s ill-fitting, and boring!  She’s Angelina-freaking-Jolie!  She could have shown up in something more interesting than this!  Boo!  Her best accessory?  Brad Pitt.

Elizabeth Banks: I love her, and I hate to put her on this list.  But her dress just looked like tissue paper to me.  There is such thing as too many ruffles.

Amanda Seyfried:  I really wanted to like this dress. I tried.  I even put her on my “best” list, but then had to take it down…cause I really don’t like it.  So – I dunno – plain?  The fit is weird? Dunno, just don’t like it.

Beyonce: I think it’s too tight.  Looks like it’s going to split all the way up the side.  It’s just too dazzly for me. Is dazzly a word?  Probably not. You all probably like it…I might be crazy, whatever.

Cameron Diaz: I did NOT like Cameron’s dress at all.  It’s just all sorts of wrong.

Demi Moore: I didn’t care for Demi’s dress.  It would have been much more pretty without the straps around her neck.

Jennifer Lopez: I’m giving this to her mostly because I just don’t like her.  I don’t love the dress, so she made my worst list.

Marisa Tomei: I don’t even understand this outfit.  It doesn’t look good at all!

Renee Zellweger:  Terrible! Terrible!  The hair! The outfit! Everything!

Heidi Klum: So I don’t really hate this dress, I just don’t love it.  I was at 9 – and I needed one more, so I added Heidi.

Here are my top 10 women at last night’s Golden Globes!  Tell me if you agree – disagree…whatever!

Anne Hathaway:  Anne looked absolutely stunning! Love the dark blue.

Drew Barrymore:  While I didn’t like her hair, I absolutely loved her dress.  The color looks amazing on her!

Eva Longoria: She looked great.  She fit that dress like a glove, absolutely beautiful!

Christina Applegate: Loved the simplicity of this yellow dress.  Beautiful!

Kate Winslet:  Not only was she the big winner last night, she looked amazing on top of it!  She was absolutely stunning, head to toe!

Evan Rachel Wood: I think she wore my favorite black dress of the night.  She looked gorgeous in this gown, loved it!

Rumer Willis: I’m not in love with Rumer’s new hair color, but I was in love with her dress.  It’s a great color, and a great fit!

Tina Fey: Tina Fey looked great in this simple dress.  It’s a beautiful dress!

Blake Lively: I loved LOVED her dress.  She should have put her hair up, it just looked like a big mess – but the dress was beautiful.

Sandra Bullock: Sandra looked stunning in white!  She looked gorgeous in the form fitting dress… Gorgeous!

See who is nominated for the worst in film of 2008! After the jump… (more…)

The awards went as I thought they would – with few surprises.  Heath Ledger was nominated for Dark Knight (and rightfully so).  The only surprise for me – was the fact that Tom Cruise was nominated for Tropic Thunder.  I think he STOLE the movie – he did such a great job – but I was still surprised to see his name!
