Golden Globe Awards 2013

"Tonight I feel like prom queen. I am… single. Yes I am, I am single. No, I'm kidding. But I mean, I'm not really kidding, but I'm kind of kidding."   
                                                                                                                       - Jodie Foster

The 70th Golden Globe awards by Hollywood Foreign Press Association is a mock drill to the final race at the Oscars and was a small first course treat served of an overall meal to be enjoyed in the coming days.

New hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey upheld the culture of Golden Globes with some of their best lines as they singled out the talented artists:



"You can smell the pills from here" - Amy on the atmosphere of the room

"Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people in television"

"Quentin Tarantino is here, the star of all my sexual nightmares" 

"Meryl Streep is not here tonight. She has the flu, and I hear she's AMAZING in it"


3 time Golden Globe host Ricky Gervais was at the receiving end - 
"Ricky Gervais is not here tonight, because he is no longer in show business"
“As we learned from Ricky Gervais, when you run afoul with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, they ask you to host the Golden Globes two more times” 

Katheryn Bigelow wasn't spared either and the audience were in a shock when Tina said
"When it comes to torture, I trust the woman who spent three years married to James Cameron" 


Amy and Tina ensured Anne Hathaway would remember her embarrassing wardrobe malfunction at Les Miserable premiere and her Oscar host stint
"I have not seen someone so alone and abandoned like that since you were on stage with James Franco at the Oscars" 
"Well, she'll never make it in porn." Amy said, "I don't think she has plans to do porn, Amy," to which her co-host replied, "None of us have plans to do porn, Tina." 


Though I personally missed 3 time host Ricky Gervais, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hit the bulls eye as hosts of 70th Golden Globe Awards.


And it was yet again a treat to the eyes as the Hollywood bombshells flaunted their long legs and svelte figures in their body hugging designer clothing with slits in all the "right places"







Golden Globes mocked at the Oscars as the exceptionally talented underdog Ben Affleck was honoured as the Best Director and Argo as the Best Picture And Amy said “Ben’s first two movies took place in Boston, but he moved this one to Iran because he wanted to film somewhere that was friendlier to outsiders.”





And Jodie Foster's moving speech for receiving Cecil B Demille award for Lifetime achievment was one of the best I have heard in a longtime. Believe you me when I say that it was "Legendary".
