Golden Globes 2015

Last night was the kickoff to the 2015 award circuit. It was a strange and unpredictable night to say the least. Lots of surprises and lots of one liners from Fey and Poehler. What does this mean for the rest of the season? The Globes are usually seen as a huge predictor for the creed da la creme: The Academy Awards. Time will tell this year, but if last night was any foreshadowing it will prove for an interesting and unconventional season. 

Birdman was expected to do well and do well it did. Michael Keaton won for Best Actor- Musical or Comedy and the filmed picked up Best Screeenplay. However it lost out for Best Picture to the dark horse The Grand Budapest Hotel.  I highly doubt that trend will continue throughout the season. But I'll also be honest. After last night my predicting skills are feeling weak and out of touch. 

Another shock last night was How to Train Your Dragon II beating out The Lego Movie. Although the animated film isn't usually a huge deal it added to the feel of last night being out of alignment for the typical Globes. McConaughey lost out as did True Detective in general. And Amazon's new series about a transgender parent nabbed up two unexpected awards as well. I don't know about you but sometimes The Globes can feel like a slap in the face because I realize how much I don't know about tv when it comes to Netflix, Amazon and more. These networks being included in the ranks has certainly changed things. Like Gina Rodriguez winning for her brand new show on The CW of all networks. Makes me wonder why Gossip Girl was never nominated back in the day. Just kidding. 

In terms of fashion the night was strange as well. The most beautiful trend was glitter and tons of it. Other trends were pantsuits, white and lost of cleavage. 

Best Dressed
Before I lost these ladies and one male, I want to make a disclaimer. I do not claim to know anything about fashion, just entertainment. I make this list solely on who I think looks classy 
Christine Barinski
Amal Clooney
Reese Witherspoon
Felicity Jones
Amy Adams
Felicity Huffman
Kevin Hart 

Worst Dressed
Julianne Moore: her aluminum foil looking dress turned into Tim Allen's character from The Shaggy Dog at the bottom. 
Claire Danes
Kerry Washington 

All in all it was an eventful night. It's a sad day to know that was  Fey and Poehler's last time hosting. But the Oscars are right around the corner and Neil Patrick Harris is going to take the night by storm.
