Well, that pizza party we had last night sure was a success! My goodness! Did you guys get home all right? You doing ok today? Good, that's great. Sooo that was a pretty boring awards show, right? Hahah. WOW! You certainly surrender a good amount of your hope to be entertained during the next THREE HOURS when you put on an awards show, we all know that, we're all the same kind of cynical adult, but wow that was relentlessly boring! Ricky Gervais's jokes were all fairly tame, when they weren't just normal Hollywood Flattering. The presenters were all stiff and weird and dull, as if it isn't their everyday job to be entertaining. Basically there were three notable things that happened. First, this. Second, when George Clooney had Meryl Streep's glasses and then handed them off and nobody knew what to do with them at all. Hahahah. "Uhhh, has anyone not gotten the glasses yet? Does anyone still need to see the glasses? No? Nobody? How about on the other side of the-- Oh, no? Everybody's gotten them?" Hahah. Very good. Very good part. The third notable thing was when The Artist won for best comedy and then THERE WAS A DOG ONSTAGE!!! If only everyone in the room could've been a dog. That's the dream. And, yeah, everything else was just straight-up dumb. Oh, except for when Joey won. I CAN'T believe he never won for Friends and I can't believe he was nominated for Joey, but this certainly kind of makes up for both of those things. Good job, Joey! I bet your family is very proud. So please check out the truly memorable photo gallery above, and the full list of winners with, I'm sure, very proud families after the jump.
