The 2013 Golden Globes, aka Tina Fey And Amy Poehler Need Their Own Show

01/14/2013 11:03 am by

The Golden Globes happened last night, and of course the Internets was bursting with awesome all night long. (Though I for one was locked in Twitter Jail for tweeting too many times in an hour. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE,  TWITTER GODS?!) This was just the beginning of an awards season where it seems none of us have seen the movies that have been nominated, but HAVE NO FEAR! We had actresses/funny ladies/moms Amy Poehler and Tina Fey to save the day!

I just want to drink wine and watch Fashion Police with them, you know?

Tina and Amy absolutely NAILED IT. As we’ve mentioned a few times in the past, we were pretty excited for their takeover last night, and they did not let us down… during the whole FIVE SECONDS we saw them. The duo was funny, smart, and perhaps most of all, extremely under-utilized. But when we did see them, they were spot on. They made a couple cameos as fake actresses that were hilarious, but other than that, it felt as though they were just hanging out in backstage waiting to be funny again. Here’s hoping they get a chance to host again, and PLEASE TO BE HAVING MOAR AIRTIME.

The Highlights

  • Amy Poehler – “Meryl Streep isn’t here tonight. She has the flu, and I hear she’s amazing in it.” THIS is why she co-hosted.
  • Also:

    Amy Poehler snuggled up with George Clooney while waiting to see if she won for Best Actress. Perfection.

  • When Adele won for Best Original Song: “Skyfall” and Taylor Swift continued to work on her bitter-face while penning the next three hit singles regarding her dislike of the evening’s award show outcome.
  • Michael J. Fox‘s 23 year old son Mini-Michael J Fox Sam stepped out as Mr. Golden Globe (the guy who helps the winners off-stage), and I immediately longed for an episode of Family Ties. Tina Fey zinged Taylor Swift by telling her to please, “Stay away from Michael J. Fox‘s son.”
  • Bill Clinton making a cameo/introducing Lincoln.
  • Moms, both new and to-be representing in full force! Adele, Claire Danes, Kristen Bell…just to name a few.
  • Jodie Foster‘s acceptance speech for the Cecil B. de Mille Award.
  • Glenn Close being…Glenn Close.

    GLENN! You blubbering fool.

The Lowlights

  • Tina and Amy not being around.
  • Anne Hathaway‘s acceptance speech. “Thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt.” Either her speech was scripted, or she lived in Dawson’s Creek in a former life.
  • Louis CK getting snubbed.
  • Lea Michelle‘s unfortunate self-tanner incident.
  • Seeing only cable television shows win awards. Come on networks! Most were deserving, but it’d be nice to not have to pay extra for good television.
  • Jodie Foster’s acceptance speech for the Cecil B. de Mille Award (okay, we’re on the fence about this one, but it gets a “lowlights” nod as well for LENGTH and MEANDERING INCOHERENCE):

(A full list of the winners can be found here.)

Commercials were not left out of the critique by folks on the Twitter. A set of new Target ads for their “Everyday Collection” featuring diaper changing and the eating habits of pregnant women made some moms unhappy:

I was most turned off by the woman’s voice in the ad. NO MORE SOFT TALKING PLEASE.

So, between that woman whispering about “The Everyday Collection,” Sofia Vergara being annoying about Diet Pepsi (does anyone even DRINK Diet Pepsi?) and the half hour of weirdness that was Jodi Foster’s “acceptance/coming-out or not/I don’t even know what” speech, I was pretty happy when it wrapped up.

What about you? What were your highlights and low-lights? Were you as annoyed by commercials and the lack of the hosts as I was?

    So, obviously, Anne Hathaway was pretty confident she was going to win. She ended with something like “thank you for the best string of yesterdays I’ve ever had” when thanking her husband. You nailed it – she sounds like she lived in Dawson’s Creek. I kind of liked her before last night.

    I wanted more T-Fey and Amy P. too! There was simply not enough of them. Another highlight for me was Kristen Wiig & Will Ferrell presenting for best actress (or something) and I liked Jennifer Lawrence quite a bit as well.

    • http://twitter.com/jennamariebee Mrs. Jenna

      Yeah, I didn’t mind Anne prior to last night but her acceptance speech (and then follow-up during another Les Mis win) left a bad taste in my mouth.

      • http://www.facebook.com/CreepyMommy Amanda Lore

        The only part of her speech I found to be genuine was when she thanked Sally Field. Her speech was well prepared. Taking the mic when Les Mis won, tacky.

  • NinaN2

    The Will Ferrell/ Kristen Wiig thing was pretty annoying/not funny.

    • http://twitter.com/jennamariebee Mrs. Jenna

      I know. It just seemed like they were doing what Kristen Wiig & Fred Armisen used to do on Weekend Update on SNL.

    • crabby appleseed

      I totally do not get Kristen Wiig. I don’t think she’s remotely funny. I KNOW, I’M SORRY, I’m supposed to believe she is hilarious and awesome and YEAH GIRL POWER, but I just do not see it. She’s quite pretty and wiling to make an ass of herself, which I think is supposed to impress me, and I guess I am impressed by the latter (but unsure why it’s supposed to be so impressive in combination with the former), and I appreciate what she did in Bridesmaids (where I will admit her drunk scene on the plane was hilarious), but overall? I just…she’s not funny.

    I guess I should be thankful that we get the crappy Canadian commercials over here…I missed all the Target and Pepsi commercials that everyone was complaining about on Twitter. Heh.

    I didn’t mind Anne Hathaway’s speech. I’m just in the camp that HOLY SHIT FANTINE so I totally think she can basically do whatever she wants right now on that stage. Heh.

    • http://twitter.com/jennamariebee Mrs. Jenna

      Damn you Canadians!!

    I LOVED Kristen Wiig & Will Ferrell. Maybe a little long but I thought it was very funny. Tina & Amy’s response to Lena Dunham’s “got me through high school” line was funny. Jody? ummmm, mostly I was turned off that she kinda acted like they would only give her the award if she agreed to come out in her speech. Like, she acted beligerent about being forced to acknowledge something. When, really, is she on the cover of rag mags every week and I’m missing it? I’m wondering if she was nervous, cause she came off as a little obnoxious from the start “I’m 50!”. Tina & Amy rocked every minute they were on stage.

  • ErinTDN

    As much as it pains me to say this…the Will Ferrell/Kristin Wiig skit was just too much. A waste of 5 minutes that could have happily gone to more Amy or Tina.

    They so need their own show. Like a fake reality show. With them.

  • http://www.facebook.com/amanda.robey.50 Amanda Robey

    Everyone looked kind of confused about Jodie Foster’s acceptance. Like 2/3 of the faces they cut to had this kind of “Ehh?” expression. I appreciate about 2/3 of what she was saying, but the other 1/3… ehh?

  • SuzyQuzey

    Loved, loved, loved Tina and Amy! Yes, there definitely should have been more of them.

    I liked Anne Hathaway’s words about/to Sally Field; that seemed heartfelt. The whole “weapon against self-doubt” thing? Total BS.

    I really liked Jodie Foster’s speech. Except for the end part where she was talking about perhaps never getting up on a stage again (?), I though she was humorous, articulate, defiant, loving, professional, and fierce. It was a heck of a speech and the highlight of the night for me.

  • Tyskkvinna

    Here’s the part I do not get: Did something happen this year that I missed, that provoked Jodie Foster’s speech?

  • Whitney923

    I drink Diet Pepsi.

    Sometimes.
