On Friday night, GIFF supporters were treated to a preview of Showtime's newest series Billions starring Paul Giamatti and Damien Lewis and a panel discussion afterwards with its creators, director and cast members. Another enthralling night executed by GIFF and sponsored locally by Sotheby's Real Estate. Billions premieres January 17th on Showtime. (If you don't subscribe, the entertainment value of this series alone, is worth every nickel, as we have the fun of vicariously watching "Axe", played sublimely by Lewis, purchase a 68 million dollar beach house.)
So without further adieu Lovelies, let's get started...
Ricky Gervais was once again brought back to host the Golden Globes for the fourth time. A bad boy, who sharpened his teeth on the hides of his audience to mixed reviews in the past, I imagined he would be honing his incisors for his encore, just to prove he would not be chastised by Hollywood. I say, bring back Tina and Amy...whatever his old beef with Mel Gibson was, it was for most of the universe, forgotten. Besides, all the stuff that gets bleeped out is zero fun for the television audience. Whatevs...
Since the Hollywood Foreign Press nominates the films, television shows and actors for the Golden Globes, it is often seen as a precursor for the Academy Awards and Emmy's. This year it just seemed like a rag-tag mix. I don't think Mad Max Fury Road will be on the Oscar short list, nor Mr. Robot for a Best Drama nod for the Emmy's, though I will admit to not even knowing it existed on the USA network. The Revenant and Leo? Quite possibly...
Rant over, let's get to the good stuff; the clothes
Trends:.The biggest of the night was white, worn beautifully by Taraji P. Henson, Laverne Cox, Alicia Vikkander, Lilly Day and Saoirse Ronan (whose name I practice and still can't pronounce), far less so by Eva Langoria. The other can't miss color was canary yellow, worn by Jennifer Lopez, America Ferraro and Lola Kirke. It's a very tough shade to pull off. Of the three, J. Lo was my favorite, I may have given her extra props for finally covering up a bit...how tiresome its been to see so much of her boobs and booty over the years. Red, from lipstick to oxblood was also a favorite. Fantastic jewels graced the neck of J. Lo., J. Law and Emmy Rossum by Chopard and Martin Katz respectively. I was also mad for the Kimberly McDonald emerald earring worn by Teraji P. Henson...fierce and very Cookie. Ruby lips were a stand out on J. Lo and Eva Green.
A+ My LOVES:

A+ My LOVES:
 |
| Alicia Vikkander Flawless in a white beaded Louis Vuitton. Demure in front, it showed just the right amount of back to keep it refined. Lovely hair and makeup too |
 |
| Olivia Wilde in Michael Kors. Impeccable. This is plunging done well.  This is my favorite of all her RC appearances. Resplendent and "modest" per her norm in Couture Giambatissta Valli. Wowza! |
Taraji P. Henson in Stella McCartney
Loved the 'tude and the Kimberly McDonald emerald earrings.
Congrats Cookie!
 |
| Jennifer Lawrence Ladylike in Dior with an outstanding Chopard diamond collar |
 |
| Laverene Cox Wearing Elizabeth Kennedy. Whoever EK is, LC just put her on the map |
 |
| Lily James in Marchesa A wee bridey but still oh so pretty |
 |
| Julianne Moore Stunning in what looks like liquid sapphires from Tom Ford |
 |
| Helen Mirren Simply because she is always flawless and shows you can be sexy at any age year after year |
The B Team: The Almost's
Amy Adams in Atelier Versace. Whoever said red heads should not wear orange had that right...otherwise great. Emmy Rossum in Armani Prive, Gina Rodriguez, pretty in Zac Posen, but a hair MOB for a young beauty. Lady Gaga, once again channeling Sargeant's Madame X, Eva Green in Atelier Elie Saab, Saoirse Ronan lovely in YSL.
The C Team: The Meh's
Julia Louis Dreyfuss, Kate Winslet and Maura Tierney, channeling her inner Librarian. As a nominee and nicely, a deserving winner, this could really have been her night to shine...head scratching and banal, no???
 |
| Maura Tierney |
The D team: Too much, too little or ill fitting:
 |
| Eva Langoria One bow or another... |
 |
| Jane Fonda in YSL's update for 'Lil Bo Peep |
 |
| Jennifer Jason Leigh One size up and a dollop less sleeve |
 |
| The lovely Leslie Mann overwhelmed in Mauve Marchesa...a shame. |
 |
| Malin Ackerman not feeling the lace, the peplum, the washed ice blue, the too low bodice or the severe hair |
 |
| The adorable Brie Larsen in Calvin Klein, looking herself like a Golden Globe, albeit a female one with sagging tata's. I literally want to pull this up by its boot strap neckline. So close! |
 |
| Kirsten Dunst in Valentino Too much ta for my taste |
 |
| Cate the Great in Givenchy Well, she broke my heart and her flawless RC streak. Overwrought. |
 |
| I was desperately hoping to like it from the back... Sadly, not. |
 |
| Kate Hudson in Michael Kors I'm a huge Kate fan and think she usually kills it on the RC. Yes, the abs and booty are prime, but a tube top, skirt and scarf do not a dress make. |
 |
| Jamie Alexander A half a yard more fabric here and there would have elevated this to an A+. All I could think about here was the two sided tape |
 |
| Melissa McCarthy A perfect silhouette for her marred by flammable looking fabric |
 |
| Joanna Froggatt Ah...no. |
 |
| Jada Pinkett Smith, looking like the lovechild of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell |
 |
| Caitrone Balfe In Jane Jetson's negligee |
 |
| Heidi Klum A perennial Red Carpet disaster. Unredeemable on any level |
 |
| Regina King It's a bird! It's a plane! |
 |
| Rooney Mara In an Alexander McQueen Miracle Mop |
So there you have it...Do you agree? Disagree? Who did I miss? Who did you loathe?, Who did you love?
Oh such fun! See you at the SAG's.
xox,
DD
Like the first dress :)
