And what about Jodie Foster? Here is an excerpt from an article about Foster's appearance at the Globes last night:
*****
So, Jodie Foster, huh?! As all good performers do, she took us on a journey with her during her speech: She wittily surveyed her career, movingly opened up her kids, honestly discussed being a public figure for 47 years and, last but not at all least, broached the topic of her sexual orientation in front of millions of people (even if she never said the words "gay" or "lesbian," her meaning was clear). The speech was made up of equal parts anger, nervousness and honesty, and it offered a rationale for evasion even after it ended decades of it. Ultimately, it was very moving, and any way you slice it (and I'm sure we'll be reading analyses of it for weeks to come), it's not a speech you're likely to forget soon.
After a funny introduction from her longtime friend Robert Downey Jr., Foster took to the stage quoted a "Saturday Night Live" sketch, "I'm 50!" Things soon took a fascinating turn.
"I guess I just have a sudden urge to say something that I've never really been able to air in public, a declaration that I'm a little nervous about ... I'm single!" Foster said.
She spoke of her coming out as a thing of the distant past, but then said with some (not unjustified) bitterness that every celebrity was expected to be make their lives part of "a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show."
"You guys might be surprised, but I am not Honey Boo Boo Child," Foster said. "I'm sorry. That's just not me.
"If you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you might value privacy above all else," Foster added. She thanked her family and friends and Mel Gibson ("You know you saved me too," she told him), her "ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life" Cydney Bernard. There was also a moment during which her audio cut out, and that was mighty frustrating. But her words were loud and clear during the final moments of her speech, which concerned her mother, who has dementia.
"I love you, I love you, I love you, and I hope if I say this three times, it will magically and perfectly enter into your soul, fill you with grace and the joy of knowing that you did good in this life. You're a great mom. Please take that with you when you're finally OK to go," she said, with tears in her eyes.

I was surprised that Les Mis won as much as it did, equally surprised that Lincoln won as little as it did.
Definitely want to see Argo, and Amour before the Oscars. After reading a bunch of reviews, not sure I want to waste my money on Django Unchained. Hadn't heard much about Silver Lining Playbook until last night, but I do like good comedies from time to time.
Here are Yahoo's list of snubs and surprises:http://movies.yahoo.com/photos/2013-golden-globes-snubs-and-surprises-1358145713-slideshow/argo-photo-935898824.html

"Brave" wins over "Frankenweenie" for Best Animated Feature?
Tim Burton was robbed.
Posted by: Flannista | January 14, 2013 at 06:09 AM
Thanks for the Yahoo link, treesta. I agree with it, for the most part. Why does Quentin Tarentino get on my nerves so much?
I have to fly to MouseLand tomorrow, so the Sassistas! won't have time to do a Golden Globe fashion report, but I noticed this Yahoo link to the fashion on the Golden Globe red carpet. Check it out:

Ben Affleck, Best Director for "Argo" over Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty"? Is it because George Clooney bankrolled "Argo"?

Every child who has watched their parent slowly disappear into the fog of dementia understands the depth and full meaning of those words.

I missed Jodie foster, watching Tom Brady?!
Oh, the humanity!
Posted by: Sista C | January 14, 2013 at 07:37 AM
I think choosing to watch Tom Brady over Jodie Foster means no microbrew for you, Sista C.
Posted by: Flannista | January 14, 2013 at 07:58 AM
As moving as parts of Jodie Foster's speech was, it was kind of a mess. She rambled and well, it was a little baffling in places, touching in others. I'll give it a "B".
Posted by: Flannista | January 14, 2013 at 08:00 AM
Yeah yeah.... What was she wearing? Does anybody remember?
Posted by: Sista C | January 14, 2013 at 08:06 AM
Remember the new term, "Eastwooding" after Clint Eastwood appeared with the chair at the Republican National Convention last summer?
Well, there's a new word this morning to describe someone rambling on cryptically: "Jodie Fostering".
I'm not kidding.
Posted by: Flannista | January 14, 2013 at 08:06 AM
No microbrew?! For that, I should send you more Sno-Caps!
Posted by: Sista C | January 14, 2013 at 08:07 AM
What Jodie Foster wore last night. Hard to describe, but it reminded me of a broad I saw in that old PBS series, "I, Claudius":

GAWD, NO, Sista C!
Forgit what I said about no microbrew for you. I don't want any more of them Sno-Caps.
Posted by: Flannista | January 14, 2013 at 08:42 AM
Now that Jodie is single, I have a warning for her:
STAY AWAY FROM MATISSTA!
Posted by: Flannista | January 14, 2013 at 09:21 AM
'Argo' best motion picture?! Say it ain't so! It was a good movie, in a blasé year, but I'd hardly call it the best picture.
Leaving in about an hour to see 'les mis'. More curious than anything. I'm told that I will cry buckets. We'll see bout that.
Posted by: Sista C | January 14, 2013 at 10:32 AM
"Les Miserables" is probably my favorite musical, but for some reason, I'd rather see "Lincoln" and "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Silver Linings Playbook" or "Impossible" and "Amour" -- let's face it, any OTHER film but that one right now. Matissta wants to see it, though.
Let us know what you think, Sista C.

A quick comment on the fashion. There were a lot of Angelina Jolie leg flashing last night. Why would women repeat that stance after everyone made so much fun of it?
And believe it or not, Jodie Foster's dress was not considered the worst one. Actually, from what I've read, no one put her on the worse dress list. However, it seems that Jessica Chastain took the honors for that.

I don't know if I'd call it the worst, but it was not a good choice according to the fashionistas.

For only having a baby a month ago, Claire Danes looked fabulous.

Jessica Chastain's dress is SO WRONG on so many fronts, including the front front.
Posted by: Flannista | January 14, 2013 at 02:15 PM
I LOVE the look on the face of the lady behind Jessica Chastain in the link above. PRICELESS & pretty much says it ALL!
Of all movies listed above, I've ONLY seen Lincoln and NONE of the television shows. Must be livin' under a rock!
Posted by: PEACEsista | January 14, 2013 at 02:32 PM
I have seen Argo, Lincoln, and Django. Argo and Lincoln deserved everything they got, in my opinion, Django should not be seen by anyone but vampires.
Posted by: Justista | January 14, 2013 at 04:20 PM
Justista -- which was the better film: "Argo" or "Lincoln"?
Do you think the Hollywood Foreign Press may have thought "Lincoln" was too American?
Also, did you hear that Iran is doing its OWN movie version of "Argo" to correct all the mistakes and exaggerations it believes is in Affleck's version?
Posted by: Flannista | January 14, 2013 at 04:24 PM
They were so different. I can't really compare them. I would be interested to see the Iran take on the same event. Hadn't heard that. Can't answer the second question.
