Jennifer Lawrence, I like you. I like you A LOT. I like you so much my dreams are filled with sexy sandwiches that include you, me and Bradley Cooper. But you disappointed me, girl. You broke my Hunger Games loving heart on Sunday night as I watched the Golden Globes.
No amount of laughter from the genius that is Tina Fey and Amy Poehler could make me forget the awkwardness that was the bodice of your chosen dress. Well, maybe the awkwardness of Jodie Foster’s speech but that was my only distraction!! Your selection in award wear (or your assistant’s or whomever you should immediately fire for being drunk on the job.) was confusing and laughable. Who am I to say anything since I’ve never been invited let alone won anything on a tv award show? I’m the person weeping on the couch for you. You and your bad taste.
And speaking of bad taste and winning awards, Congrats by the way for your best supporting actress win for Silver Linings Playbook, I believe that announcing that you “…beat Meryl!!” as you approached the microphone to accept your award was as tasteful and respectful as Tommy Lee Jones’ face all night. Seriously, what was up his ass?!! You NEVER mock or show disrespect to the great Meryl Streep, who on her worst day can act rings around you, little mama. And not everyone has seen, or remembers, “The First Wives Club” so stop using it as an excuse a quote. If you are going quote someone, do Sally Field’s “You like me! You really like me!”
In conclusion, Jenn-may I call you Jenn??-I really love you and your work. I think talent oozes out of that beautiful body of yours and you are very capable of winning many more awards in the future, but can you watch your impulse moves like dress shopping and speech making? There is a reason people watch the shows and it’s not to see who wins. It’s to look at dresses and hear speeches from crazy yet respectful members of your craft.
Besides, I want my sexy sandwich back. I guess I’ll have to settle for Claire Danes.

Oh. Yikes. I have to disagree on the Claire Danes sandwich. Personally, I thought she looked suspiciously like Courtney Love. I think the meet in my Golden Globe Cooper sandwich (I know… Cooper is the meat in yours, but you and I are different, love) would have to be Taylor Swift. Damn she looked good.
Great post!

Clarie Danes parallel to Courtney Love. Ouch. Hope we are talking dress and makeup and not class because its a no brainer.

I totally agree with this. That dress killed all of her hotness! And that’s saying alot.

If they would’ve removed the “extra” material, I would’ve had to fine another topic to write about!!

I loved the quote from First Wives Club. I thought it was apt, and I’m hoping Meryl found it just as funny.
Plus, she’s like 25 right? She’s probably just in awe that she beat THE Meryl Streep. I know I would be.
The dress was super awkward. I’m still in love with her though.

I loved the quote as well– and remembered it from the movie.
And it took me FOREVER to see why everyone hated her dress. Mainly because there are so few profile pictures on the red carpet. And I didn’t watch the Golden Globes (there were Brits and inappropriate alcoholic authors to watch, instead). That could have helped.

Despite the quote, it felt like she was putting out bad mojo or something. We could all see she beat Meryl, no easy feat, and clearly she was saying it impulsively but I don’t think I was the only one cringing.

also, they’re nothing wrong with the way she looks, at all. she;s lovely. GTFO

Just my opinion, but I found the Meryl comment distasteful but unintentional, much like Lena’s comment about how all of her competition helped get her through middle school. OUCH!
