The Golden Globes’12: An Internet Round Up

I love awards season. The Golden Globes happened last night, kicking the Oscar race in high gear. Ricky Gervais toned it down, and so went the ratings, but I will always watch! I like to see the mix of television and movies together..along with a drunk celeb.

Modern Family, George Clooney and The Artist were some of the big winners of the night. Check out a full list of winners here!

Like it or not, 90 per cent of award show talk is about who wore what. There are plenty of fashion favourite round ups on the interwebs today, but here are some of my faves:

Shailene Woodley in Marchesa

Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci

Emma Stone in Lanvin

Other highlights:

• The funniest joke came from presenter Seth Rogan
• George Clooney teasing Michael Fassbender (Clooney is truly the President of Hollywood)
• Anytime Sofia Vargerasa spoke
• Meryl Streep continues to show why she is amazing: cursing for forgetting her reading glasses!

 

Jezebel has compiled the best GIF’s to come from last night’s telecast. Tina Fey photobombing Amy Poehler takes the cake.

There was one handsome leading man that truly stole the show, Uggie from The Artist. It’s true what they say about not working with animals!

 

What did you think of the show?

Welcome, 2012

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.  I’m coming down from my holiday high. It’s always a transition to go from enjoying Christmas celebrations (as I’ve mentioned, I get excited for Christmas in October) to going to regular life- I get a case of the winter blahs.

I had a great time checking out what Toronto has to offer for Christmas- I hit up the One of a Kind Show, Handmade Holiday, City of Craft and most importantly- The Lowe’s Christmas Market! That is a must-see event for any Christmas freak like myself.

Christmas was spent at home with family and friends, overindulging on food and drink. Hmm, think it’s time to check out Toronto’s gyms and yoga studios to whip this lady into shape!

This Christmas I was also, I was spoiled with Tiffany’s and Kate Spade. I used my Christmas windfall to FINALLY make the leap to a smart phone.. I don’t know how an internet/social media obsessed lady like myself was without one for so long (or rather I do-the $$$), but I’ve made the commitment to an IPhone 4.

2011 had its personal challenges and I’m hoping those are behind me. I’m looking forward to what I can back to-building a career, keeping my health together, pursuing my passions seriously, and balancing the budget. Last year school was completed, surgeries were had (which I spent the latter half of the year waiting for, having and recovering from) and I am more than ready to enter the professional world and get myself back out there.

Whether 2011 was your best or your worst, I hope you are entering 2011 with optimism and hope for what you can accomplish. Even if you don’t make resolutions (or if you do and forgot about them by week 3) I hope you use the new calendar year to focus on what you want and how you can make it happen in your life. You deserve it!

Happy New Year, and see you soon Toronto!

Quote of the Day

I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life. I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
