She has never appealed to me. 

She was gorgeous when she first came to Hollywood. I believe she would look better if she went back to being a redhead, it won't fix everything but it would be better than this.

I never liked Sarah in anything she did before OJ but I loved her as Marcia Clark so much that I completely turned around on her.  Anyone who has such smoking hot chemistry with Sterling K. Brown can't be all bad.

Why am I watching this?  I don't know most of these shows or these people!  And worse, not feeling it's any big loss.  Just enjoying the clothes.

LOL. Yeah, I don't know a lot of them, either.  Like you, I will watch for the pretty -- maybe the goofy speech, and the occasional win by someone I know.

I thought the cast did great in The People vs OJ Simpson, but was underwhelmed by it overall. It just did not live up to the hype for me. I will be at my table for one.

It started strong but I felt the latter episodes were just okay and I was very disappointed in the final episode.

Reese has gotten to be a lot less prissy and uptight as she has gotten older. Or at least, comes off as more laid back.

I think her pulling the "don't you know who I am!?!" card during her DUI arrest and the snark that came out of it knocked some sense back into her.  I didn't mind her before, but liked her more after she quickly owned up for being a dumb move.

I don't like her butterscotch blonde color either.  

[ShadowHunter]

Ugh these commercials for Fifty Shades and this happened last year also.

I watch because I know there is an open bar and people tend to get progressively more drunk the later it gets. It's not the Oscars but it'll will do.

[mtlchick]

Julia DJing?  If Tina and Amy were there, they would be twerking at each end.  

[Browncoat]

Annette Bening looks fab.

[mojoween]

Hollywood is tough for women but Annette Bening appears to have had some tightening on her face, but not her neck, and the whole thing is very jarring.

[Mumbles]

Annette Bening is another object lesson as to how to age gracefully. And she can still move her face, which is *helpful* for an actor.

[DHDancer]

Ooh, liking this lilac number: some beautiful draping there.

[Fostersmom]

Ladies… your hair, skin, and dress shouldn't all be the same color. It's a horrible look. 

[mojoween]

Bollocks!  Sterling K. Brown was ROBBED!

[Artsda]

Wow an upset with Hugh Laurie winning.

[Chrissytd]

That's surprising,I was expecting Sterling K. Brown.

[Misslindsey]

What?? Hugh Laurie? I so thought Sterling would win. I wanted Sterling to win. Though loving Hugh Laurie's acceptance speech.

[galaxygirl76]

Sweet Jesus, Matt Bomer is just too pretty for words.

[mtlchick]

Hugh Laurie?!  Way to kill the Sterling Brown momentum, show. (Side note: Christian Slater?  I still would.) 

[thuganomics85]

Hmm... Hugh Laurie?  I mean, he was good in The Night Manager, but Sterling K. Brown was memorizing in People vs. OJ.

Still need to catch The Crown, which sounds interesting and the idea of John Lithgow as Winston Churchill sounds strangely brilliant.

[ShadowHunter]

I'm stunned Sterling K.Brown didn't win. At least he has the Emmy. 

Well Hugh went there lol.

[DHDancer]

Finally, something I actually watched (along with The Crown).  Laurie and Hiddleston weren't the best performers in The Night Manager, but it will do.

[mtlchick]

"It has the words Hollywood, Foreign and Press."  SNERK. 

[galaxygirl76]

John Lithgow was brilliant as Churchill and I'm disappointed he didn't win.

That's how I feel when I watch the Grammys! Here I only know some of the TV shows and I don't watch many movies. 

 

Does the Globes have an In Memoriam segment? I know there's one awards show that does not. 

 

I guess John Travolta was still in the bathroom when his name was presented as a nominee for The People.......

[Browncoat]

Good lord, what is Sophia wearing? 

[bunnyblue]

I'm only watching to see if Game of Thrones wins (it won't, I'm sure), so yeah, I agree with the comments that this awards show isn't very entertaining and I don't know anything about 75% of the nominees so far. 

The winners seem to be all over the place. Some expected and some out of left field. Billy Bob Thorton? Hugh Laurie? *shrug*

[truthaboutluv]

Surprising but I wouldn't say a total robbery. Hugh Laurie was pretty menacing and brilliant in The Night Manager. 

[Fostersmom]

What the hell is she wearing? It's blinding and looks like if she moves wrong it's going to sever a limb. 

[mtlchick]

Sly Stallone has some ridiculously good looking daughters.  

[Browncoat]

Oh my god, Sting.  Still hot hot hot after all these years.

[Misslindsey]

Oh Carrie Underwood, I really am not loving your dress.

I only watch the Grammy's to see if there's someone I should be listening to! This show may tell me shows I should be watching (so far, not so much, but we'll see.)

[thuganomics85]

Sting!!  Oh, and Carrie Underwood is there too.

No surprise, La La Land gets score.

[Mumbles]

Oh give me a break.  Sofia Vergara was on tv years ago in an amusing but short-lived show "Knights of Prosperity." Her English was inflicted with an accent, but not as heavily as it is now. What an act. She said "anal" on purpose. 

[mojoween]

I liked Sophia's dress.

Carrie, on the other hand...

She better get away before that ruffle consumes her whole head.

She's so pretty and the dress is so hideous.

[Misslindsey]

I am pleased for La La Land winning for best score. It was pretty great and very catchy.

[mojoween]

All these ladies are so shiny.  No blotting papers available?

[Nordly Beaumont]

I imagine it was a "bit" written for her, but I hear ya - the Charo act wore thin years ago. (But I still love her, I can't help it)

[Browncoat]

Hooray, City of Stars!  I swear I've been humming that since I saw the movie weeks ago.  Love that song.

[Neeners]

At least now I understand the opening a little better...

Seeing La La Land this week!

[thuganomics85]

And La La Land takes song too.  Somewhere, Lin-Manuel Miranda is like "Whelp, I guess I better find another way to get that EGOT."

[Misslindsey]

I wanted Lin Manuel Miranda to win for Moana. This does not bode well for an EGOT for him come Oscar time.

[Mumbles]

So glad the Trolls song didn't win.

[Thumper]

I am sure Carrie is a nice person, but I am so over her.

I liked Sofia's dress - she looked amazing. She read the script.

He will need the Disney machine and "Hey! I DID write Hamilton" to win at this point.

The Oscars are fond of Disney songs so I wouldn't rule it out yet. IIRC Let it go didn't win at the GG's either :)

I love your positivity! I will still have hope, because of my Lin love. 

John Legend can you just sing "Nutmeg" for me? Please?
