The one with "Whos the other one?"



I filled a bucket with ice last night and subsequently filled that with various items from the fridge. Originally I filled a large mixing bowl with ice, but that didn't work out too well. I then collapsed on the couch and hit up the Golden Globes in HD.

Great to see the Irish crew do so well and I'm sure a certain amount of people didn't realise Colin Farrell had such big words in his vocabulary. Fair play either way! Other notable items at the Globes were Robert Downey Jr's hair and then the quote of the year from Kate Winslet accepting her best actress globe, "Who's the other one?????". To which a quick thinking director and cameraman had Angelina Jolie's puss in full frame and as much as that beautiful smile beamed to millions of people around the world, you could help but see the "Fuckin bitch, I'll scratch your eyes out and eat your lungs" look on Jolie's face. Jenny Aniston must have been jumping around her living room or where ever she was.

And Sacha Baron Cohen didn't do himself any favours by knocking Madonna for six and referring to "poor" oul Guy Ritchie as her man servant. The booing continued for what seemed like 3 days and Id imagine if I were there, I would have smelt the fake tan bubbling and boiling.

So a good night for the Irish and even better for the Brits, with Slumdog millionaire more or less cleaning house. Heres the winners list, compliments of imdb.com
