Best and Worst Dressed at the Golden Globes: A Subjective Idea

By Sydney Elliot

So, I don’t really pay much attention to awards shows, but this year’s Golden Globes have caught my attention. I didn’t watch the actual ceremony, but the hype surrounding one of my favorite movies of the year, Slumdog Millionaire, made me actually look at the nominees and the winners of this year’s Globes.

But in my search of who swept the Globes besides Slumdog and 30 Rock, I found out who the best and worst dressed were. I’m not exactly fashion savvy, but looking at the commentary on the worst dressed of this year’s Globes actually made me feel bad for these celebs. Who strutted their stuff down the sacred red carpet and who rolled out of bed and onto the red carpet? That’s definitely subjective.

I compared the lists of best and worst dressed from Entertainment Weekly online, Film.com and AOL.com, and I found that some of the were similar. It just seems like so much hype was put into the fashion scores and wardrobe let downs that no one took the time to consider who won and on what grounds. Isn’t it more important that we acknowledge great directing or acting ability instead of who wore what to which awards ceremony?

Review: Sex and the City

With the amount of publicity for the “Sex and the City” movie, there was concern about how great the movie would actually be. Some, including myself, were concerned that the movie wouldn’t possess all the “happy endings” fans of the series were looking for.

There should have been no doubts. With an opening weekend estimated at over $55 million, it is no surprise that the movie is a success.

The television series ends with questions concerning each one of the girls and their New York love affairs. Do Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Big (Chris Noth) finally last longer than a season? Will Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) be able to stand living in Brooklyn even though she was so opposed to it in the beginning? Do Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Harry (Evan Handler) adopt the little girl from China, and will they ever be able to have a child of their own? Will Samantha (Kim Cattrall), the ever-single woman of New York, be able to tie herself to one man forever?

The movie answers all of the above questions with some happy endings, tons of great laughs, a few embarrassing moments (don’t drink the water in Mexico) and of course, tears of hatred and joy.
