Last night was the 70th Golden Globe Awards.  Which, you know, were entertaining and what not.  Stuff happened, awards were won, Jodie Foster came out (which I swear, I thought she did a few years ago?).

So, a few notes.  I either agreed with or had no opinion on most of the awards (more an agreed with in regards to the movies and no opinion in regards to the TV).  I didn't think that Argo really deserved to win as many awards as it did - the movie is good, yes, but it does bother me as both a Canadian and a historian, and I thought other films were more deserving.  I kind of wish that Bradley Cooper had won best actor instead of Hugh Jackman, and I'm a bit divided on the best actress for a dramatic TV show.  I love that Maggie Smith won her category, and that Anne Hathaway won hers - I also really loved Anne Hathaway's acceptance speech.

For the most part I was neither wowed nor bored by the presenters, although I did think that Jennifer Garner's continuation of husband Ben Affleck's acceptance speech when she presented was a bit tacky.  I did really love Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell's bit - I thought it was great. I also loved how Robert Downey, Jr introduced Jodie Foster.  Oh; the Megan Fox/Jonah Hill thing was lame.  Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were also great, I particularly loved their monologue and the Sarah Palin jokes.

Finally, Jodie Foster.  I loved her acceptance speech - from when she was talking about her career in general to when she came out.  I was a bit surprised by the coming out itself, not because I didn't realize she was gay but because I swear to God the coming out happened a few years ago when her and long-time partner Cydney Bernard broke up.  She wasn't exactly in the closet anymore, she was simply not commenting on her personal life - something that I respect.  Regardless of her sexuality, I think she was really deserving of the Cecil B. DeMille Award, after nearly 50 years in the film business.
