The Golden Globes are barely happening. Some sources are considering them cancelled. For an award-show junkie like me, this is rather upsetting. Borderline devastating. I mean, sure, awards will still be handed out (winners will be announced at a press conference), but without a televised ceremony and nosy-reporter-filled red carpet, it’s just not the same. (Yes, Dad, I know these awards are political. That is why clothing is so important. If you can't win deservingly, at least you can be best-dressed).
Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely siding with the writers here. I understand their need to strike. And if I were a phenomenally talented actor, I wouldn’t cross a picket line either. But I’d still be bummed that I don’t get to wear something pretty and hobnob with Gosling, Blanchett and Depp. And no offense to the writers out there, but award-show banter has long been grimace-inducing. Hopefully you’ll all make a wickedly witty comeback when contracts are renegotiated and make those monologues slightly more bearable.
So I will watch the press conference. And maybe simultaneously surf Style.com, ogling the couture gowns without the nominees inside them.
If I were a betting woman (which I am, but only for the Oscars), my money would be on Daniel Day Lewis, Julie Christie, Ryan Gosling and Ellen Page, Juno and There Will Be Blood. In case you were wondering.

i can't quite tell from the photo, but i may have the same dress as the stunning model in the b&w photo attached to this post.
It's a hot pink polyester number from Reitmans that looks far better in B&W :)
I took that photo myself. A Humber project. (Yea for timers). I need to buy a digital camera. I have no photographic proof of my existence since then. That's over three years old.
YES. i have that dress. seriously. still in my closet...
I knew we were the same person!
can you bring it to vancouver and we'll take some glam shots when you visit?
Haha. I'll see what I can do. It's not in my closet in Toronto, so I'll have to rummage at my parents' to see if it's still around.
If I find it, I'll bring it :)
