I knew that by only live blogging the first two hours of the Golden Globes I would miss some big things.. AND I DID!

Kate Winslet was a double award winner, as she took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role in Revolutionary Road. I have heard such great things about this movie and I'm really excited to see it.. if it ever comes around here. I swear I'm living in the wrong town for my interests! Anyway, her speech was adorable. She was so overcome with emotion and she waxed poetic about her co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio (whom I've never been fond of but has had some great roles that have forced him to grow on me) and her husband, Revolutionary Road director, Sam Mendes. She was a favorite, but I don't think anyone REALLY expected her to take home both awards.

I have yet to see The Wrestler, but I'm kind of excited about it. I don't believe I've ever seen a Mickey Rourke film and his performance in this role has created so much buzz and now.. he actually won the Golden Globe! I was very surprised by his win, however in retrospect, not so much. The Golden Globes are well known for their "sentimental" favorites. Still, a movie I really hope I get the chance to see.

Finally, best movie of the year went to Slumdog Millionaire in a sort of upset. It did have a lot of hype, but there were such great films in the running that no one though this little movie that could would actually win! Slumdog Millionaire won plenty of awards last night and this was just the cherry on top! Again, a movie I had heard little about prior to awards show time, but I can't wait to see it.

Today was a busy day and night, as I spent an exorbitant amount of money on groceries (thank you Weight Watchers) so I could start fresh tomorrow. I think I'm ready for it. I want to work out, my free time (or lack thereof) just gets in the way, so that's the one thing I need to figure out!

Ooh.. Rock of Love.. Bret knocked off 3 more skanks, one of which was the belly dancer.. yet he still kept the porn star he never seems to have any interest in. Sometimes I just don't get his choices... Damn you Bret Michaels!

Tomorrow is another day...
