Red Carpet Globes: They Wear the Pants 'Round Here.

Nobody ever leads with the men in terms of awards show fashion rundowns. For good reason sure -- let me guess, a black tux?! I'm totally psychic) But why play to expectations every time? If we don't give them their due right now we'll actually forget and I'm well aware that some readers get annoyed that we only ever drool on the actresses 'round these parts.

So here ya go. Brad Pitt wasn't the only one having tie adjustment problems. Ryan Gosling didn't have Angie beside him so he had to do the dirty work himself.

Meanwhile, Joseph Gordon Levitt wore a red button. I'm pretty sure that if one were to investigate one couldfind out what the red button means . But isn't it more fun to assume he'd just been sold at a gallery prior to the show, being a work of art and all? How much would he go for at Sothebys? (Your best price estimates in the comments, please)

Because that's what we like best.

Cam Gigandet's Cookies

• A Socialite's Life celebrates Cam Gigandet's Burlesque nude scene with hilariously blurry photos. (seriously, why even bother?).
• Cineuropa on the big Danish weekend in Hollywood. I hadn't even made that Scandinavian connection yet.
• Social Network Daily I mean Awards Daily... oops. Has a nifty chart illustrating the unprecedented dominance of The Social Network this awards season. Only Brokeback Mountain came this close,  although we know how that ended.
• Serious Film's Most Anticipated Movies of 2011
• My New Plaid Pants celebrates Jim Carrey's birthday, claims he saw him first in 1985's Once Bitten. Sorry, got you beat JA. I watched Duck Factory (1984) WHILE IT WAS AIRING because as a kid I wanted to be an animator, y'see?

Off Cinema
Because once in a while you should rest your eyes... by, uh, looking at other stuff.

• Design Work Life "Dancers Among Us" really cool photo series.
• Bully's Comics "If I Wrote Aquaman" Maybe you have to be a comics nerd to love this but I do.
• People It's official. Anne Hathaway to play Chris Colfer's lesbian aunt on Glee. Hey, if they won't make movie musicals, at least we have Glee for better and worse. Sometimes worse sure but at least.

Okay enough of that!
Back to the movies. Or at least the Golden Globes.

• Vulture has a funny "Best Celebrity Reaction Shots" slideshow from the show last night including La Pfeiffer's traditionally icy hostility. We love her for it. Actually we think Pfeiffer is probably not at all hostile. That's just her face. It's always been so sharp she will cut you.

Say What Helena?

This photo, which I nipped from Zimbio, makes me so curious. What do you suppose Helena Bonham Carter is saying to Andrew Garfield on the Globes Red Carpet (see also: live blog)?

Amuse us in the comments with your suggestions.

Robert Downey Jr... 'Giving It To All of You'

I'm wondering what y'all made of this Golden Globes bit? Robert Downey Jr (or as we like to call him for brevity, RDJ) comes out to present the Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical bit which went to Annette Bening for The Kids Are All Right (Go Bening!). He begins by correctly identifying the mood of the evening as "mean spirited with strangely sinister undertones" due to Ricky Gervais  comedy which would have been okay had it been a bit funnier but it just felt rude, right?

RDJ's presentation went like so.

"I consider myself a veteran of sorts and I have made somewhat of a study of this. Tell me if I'm wrong. I don't know if an actress can do her best work until I've slept with her

... Julianne.

 

Told her that I was working with strange new feelings that were confusing me... Angie.

Only to have her blow me off halfway through the shoot like it never happened... Annette.

Or casually mention that her boyfriend is coming for a location visit because he misses her. And what they have is real. Then have the gall to invite me to join them in a threetop for dinner? Anne! WHY?.

Now i'm not trying to creep anyone out but where is Emma?

I think I've got something for us it's kind of like a Blue Valentine thing but not age appropriate. Now, I'm not saying that my theory doesn't hold water but somehow all of these women rendered exquisite performances without a shred of help from me.

So I guess I'm just saying... if I could, I'd give it to all five of you. At once. The award. Right here center stage in front of my wife, the audience, and millions of viewers."

Kind of a complicated long joke.

Maybe it doesn't work at all if you don't have RDJ's Schmarm™. (That's smarm cut with charm) But I thought it was totally funny. Nick* correctly observes that Emma Stone actually makes the penultimate punchline work with her on-the-spot reaction shot, all good sport guilt and carnal complicity.

Your verdict?

*Related reading: Nick's live blog is a treat. As a special bonus before the show kicked off he even reviewed the Original Song contenders including a hilariously astute song swap suggestion for Mandy Moore and XTina.

My Amazing 100% Accurate BAFTA Predictions

I predict that the British Academy of Motion Picture Arts an--- Oops, The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (how did i ever confused their title with Oscar's title?) -- will choose...

[drumroll]

...whatever they think will be Oscar nominated*! This will be my first ever 100% accurate across the board predictive score. Marvel at my genius in the comments. Their nominations will be announced tomorrow (if you need a reminder here's the "long lists") and a fuller report will follow. But today stay tuned for Globes after-glow and some requisite catching up on movie news and the like.

If you're just popping in to see what we've been up to... where have you been? But you can scroll down for  Globe Live Blogging, and don't miss the Black Swan conversation (heh) or the Film Experience's Top 10 of 2010. More of this site's own awards coming later today.

*i.e. an amalgam of the BFCA, Globe & SAG nominations with the rare totally volatile 5th spots going to homegrown fare so that the "British" in their title retains some meaning.
