Reese Witherspoon began her march to an Oscar with her Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical Globe win for “Walk the Line.�
Mary-Louise Parker blew past all the “Desperate Housewives� to win the Globe for Best Actress in a TV Comedy for her role as a pot-dealing suburban mom, even though presenter Chris Rock noted that while “Housewives� is viewed by all of America, “‘Weeds’ is only watched by Snoop Doggy Dogg.�
Steve Carrell was named Best Actor in a TV Comedy for “The Office.� He did a funny bit reading an acceptance speech he claimed was written by his wife, which thanked her copiously and pointed out a few of his flaws.
Oh, this is interesting – not the Globes, where “Empire Falls� won for Best TV Movie or Miniseries – but this article in yesterday’s New York Times about the LA Philharmonic and Esa-Pekka Salonen. Who’d’ve thunk the NY Times would admit LA Phil is a world-class outfit?
Just a thought – on a day that offers a former Vice President of the United States accusing the current President of breaking the law “repeatedly and persistently� in addition to the Globes and Shaq/Kobe II (or IV, depending on how you count it), what do you think Los Angeles will be talking about tomorrow?
Have to say, not a big fan of the majority of the gowns tonight. Mary-Louise Parker’s dress was understated in a way too many of the others aren’t. Michelle Williams, too.
