Golden Globe Style

So if you were like me, you didn’t get to watch the Golden Globes last night because your partners insisted that the new episode of 24 was just too freaking darn important to miss.I resent 24 for being a horrible violent male centered show already–now I resent it for infringing on my awards show outfit gazing time. I hear Salma was a site to behold last night, but don’t know that I can’t find ONE picture of her this morning. Thank god for CNN clips:

Seems like there’s a lot of black this season–a lot of understated looks. I dunno, I kinda prefer the folks who can carry off a bright beautiful flouncy look–even my macha butt could carry off black and understated. It takes special *skill* to carry off bright colorful and flouncy.

Latinos de Oro at the Golden Globe Nominations

The nominees for the Golden Globes were announced and there are some Spanish language names included.

The Spanish duo of Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz were nominated for Best Performance by an Actor and Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, respectively, for their work in Woody Allan’s Vicky Christina Barcelona. Has anyone seen this film?

America Ferrera was nominated in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Comedy Series or Musical for her work on Ugly Betty. Does anyone still watch that show?

I clearly need to consume more pop culture.

Javier Bardem Takes Home a Golden Globe

We’ve got winners! There may not have been a Golden Globes gala this year, but that didn’t stop the Hollywood Foreign Press Association from choosing their picks for the coveted awards. This just in: I’m happy to report that Spanish actor Javier Bardem took home a Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his spectacular performance as a psychopathic killer in No Country for Old Men.

Another VL favorite, America Ferrera was nominated again for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Ugly Betty, but lost out to the hilarious Tina Fey.

The Coen Brothers also took home a Globe for Best Screenplay for No Country for Old Men. Yay!

Director Julian Schnabel — who directed Javi in Before Night Falls (a film that earned him a Best Actor nomination — took home a Golden Globe for Best Director for French-U.S. co-production The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.

The winners are still coming in but you can see the constantly updated winners list at CinemaBlend (the official Golden Globes site doesn’t have them up yet). There weren’t many Latinos among nominees, so don’t expect as many Latino names on the winners list as last year.

Cancelled Globes Damaging L.A. Economy

I’m sure I’m not the only one slightly disappointed about the Golden Globes being canceled due to the continuing writers strike. But L.A. businesses are especially upset, as the awards show was a vital contributor to local economy.

Caterers, limousine drivers, stylists, hotels and dozens of magazines and TV shows found themselves out of work when this Sunday’s star-studded Golden Globes gala dinner and red carpet walk-up fell victim to the nine-week-old screenwriters strike.

“There are a lot of people being hurt by this,” said Jack Kyser, chief economist for the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. He estimated the Golden Globes annually bring in $70-$80 million to the Los Angeles economy.

“A lot of the parties are being canceled and they can run up to $200,000 each. There is a big ripple impact from this in terms of hotel bookings, security guards, parking attendants, beauticians etc.,” Kyser said.

I guess a few parties here and there add up, and 80 million dollars is no small change.

And boo-hoo, obviously there will be no Globes roundups here on VL this year. Maybe we’ll watch the “star-studded” news conference, but I doubt there will be much action there.

The biggest Latino box office hit in U.S. history

Latinos swept the Golden Globes and then the Oscar nominations, and after this past weekend, Latinos have some more entertainment news to crow about: Mexican Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth beat a record previously held by Like Water for Chocolate to become the biggest Latino box office hit in U.S. film history, raking in a whopping $21 million dollars. And it seems that’s only the beginning:

Box office previsions for this week say that the film will take in $3 million dollars more, leaving way behind the 1992 film by Mexican Alfonso Arau with screenplay by Laura Esquivel, which took in $20 million.

In total, Pan’s Labyrinth has taken home 9 Goya awards (Spanish equivalent of the Oscar — the movie was a Mexico-Spain coproduction), received 8 BAFTA nominations in the U.K., and 6 Oscar nominations.

Latino Golden Globe Wins, Losses

11:35 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Events| Movies| TV · 1 Comment

Latinos were in the house at this year’s Golden Globes. With the sweep of two important categories by ABC’s Ugly Betty, we had something to celebrate, but the tail end of the show brought triumphs and losses.

The big win: the last award of the night, Best Film Drama, went to Mexico’s Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for Babel:

“I swear I have my papers in order, governor, I swear,” “Babel” director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu of Mexico joked after California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger presented the best drama prize for the sweeping ensemble drama that takes place on three continents.

And while here at VL we frequently entertain the debate of whether we should consider people, things, issues, animals, etc. from Spain applicable to this site (yes, we know Spaniards are not Latinos), Mala and I are huge Almodóvar fans so we were rooting for Volver. Unfortunately, our movie lost. Boo-hoo. I wonder if Pedro knew and that’s why he said he had cold and skipped the awards all together?

Also, our beloved Penelope lost the Best Actress award, also for Volver. Hopefully Salma stuck around to keep her company without rubbing her nose in it.

Still, some Hollywood experts still have Pe pegged for a Best Actress nod at the Oscars.

Ugly Betty takes home two Golden Globes

capt.32314310a0b84b99bba46fa1b747a338.golden_globes_press_room_carg192.jpg Hooray! It’s a landmark moment for Latinos on TV. A show by Latinos, with a Latino cast and a Latino storyline, adapted from a script born in Latin America, has taken the Golden Globe for Best Comedy, with America Ferrera taking home her own for Best Comic Actress on TV.

Betty’s producer, Silvio Horta, got all teary-eyed (and so did I, I confess) when he said that Ugly Betty was an immigrant story and that Betty herself symbolizes the American dream. The immigrant angle, I think, is what has taken an ordinary Cinderella tale and turned it into something meaningful that so many people can relate to.

While Horta gave his speech, Salma Hayek, the show’s star executive producer stood back, and cast member Vanessa Williams jumped up and down and shouted with glee. Horta ended his speech by sending a shout out to his mom: “Te quiero, mami!”

Golden Globes: Any Latinos Out There?

I am excited about watching the Golden Globes tonight. I don’t know how it happened, but I went from totally hating awards shows to becoming obsessed with them when I hit 26 years of age. I think this might be an indication of a sharp decline in my social life. Or something.

Anyway, I was curious to know if there were any Latino nominees on the list this year, so I went to the web site. The first name on the list, Maria Bello, seemed promising. After checking the IMDB I find that the actress is actually Polish-Italian.
