Basketcases! We haven’t had an open thread since, well, since Mad Men was in season. Go wild! Is January fug or fab? Is Jon fab or…fab? (Because what else is he, EVER?) Does he finally bring home the most deserved award in history or WHAT?
Just noticed that MM's "Carlton Hanson" has a new show, but this page says he'll be back on Mad Men too. Wow, what a difference a hip hairstyle makes! http://www.cwtv.com/shows/life-unexpected/cast/kr…
Oh, my, sigh. I don't think the top of Christina"s dress fits as well as it could, but the cascade of ruffles is pretty. Elisabeth is rocking bangs and looks cute.
Got a glimpse of Sandy Bullock and her dress is a gorgeous color.
6:29 p.m.: Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss has bangs, which has shocked Giuliana, who mentions that Elisabeth hated Peggy's bangs last season. But those were BAD bangs. And so might these be; they're sort of sparse and spiky. Her dress is pale blue and diaphanous, enough for us to wonder if we can start a pregnancy rumor.
Later:
Christina Hendricks is up next, in a yellow-beige strapless dress with an explosion of ruffles along the bottom. She is boobalicious, as usual. When you've got it, flaunt it.
Fug Girls:
<blockhead>6:52 p.m.: January Jones and her Alice In Wonderland headband has brought her father. Very sweet. She seems like a bit of a pill, frankly. Ryan dispatches with he quickly and we get to see the peekaboo back on her dress. Our reaction: "No, no, NOOOOO."</blockhead>
I didn't know Ridley and Tony Scott produced The Good Wife. The guys who made films like Alien, Blade Runner, The Hunger, Top Gun and Thelma & Louise made a subtle drama like that? Crazy.
I think the show will win again…I guess these award shows see it as more of an ensemble. Even though January and Jon had some great scenes this season, especially together.
This feels like last year where the voters went out of their way to ignore our acting leads in favor of the Best Drama award. At least Jon didn't get ripped off in favor of Simon Baker. That would have been truly depressing.
Let's hope the Emmys give individual credit where credit is due, do you think any of these illustrious voters watched the last three episodes this year? S3 is just starting now overseas.
If only January's headband went back just an inch or so, it would have a cool 1960s Bardot feel, but instead it goes where no headband should go. It looks like she was washing her face and just forgot it was there.
Everyone looked fantastic tonight!! I thought Jon & Vincent looked great and Elisabeth, January, and Christina looked exceptionally raidiant and very beautiful as always!! What a great looking cast we have on Mad Men!!
That was awesome, Karl! I made it my Facebook status update, lol. So happy that "Glee" won for Best TV Comedy! I actually watch all of those comedies so I would have been happy for any of them (well, maybe not "Entourage", that show is past its prime), but "Glee" needs the publicity more than any of them, so I'm glad they got it.
I'm disappointed that "Up in the Air" and George Clooney didn't win their respective awards, mainly because that's less screen time for George. Plus, James Cameron has annoyed me since his ungracious "I'm the king of the world" acceptance speech for "Titanic."
I think as a film, 500 days might be better than Hangover but Hangover is infinitely much more fun than 500 days. But hey, Avatar won, so I guess anything else is possible right?
Can't complain about Michael Hall's win. He's great actor. Can't believe this is his first as well. Best Actors are always so competitive.
It was Michael C. Hall's first win, and he did not announce that he had cancer until a few days ago, so I doubt that had little to do with it. He has deserved it many times for Six Feet Under and he is the only person I would say, well yeah, he is as good as Jon Hamm is in his show Dexter. But still, I wanted The Hamster!!!! Damn that Jon and all the gals were looking beautiful! Even Vinnie!
wonderful! See you this evening.

Jane Lynch on the Red Carpet. It's her first awards show.
Bryan Batt was at the HBO Luxury Lounge.
Elisabeth Moss on E!'s Red Carpet show now, talking about meeting Fred Armisen on SNL.
Christina Hendricks. Oh my. As usual.
Oh, my, sigh. I don't think the top of Christina"s dress fits as well as it could, but the cascade of ruffles is pretty. Elisabeth is rocking bangs and looks cute.

Fug Girls:
Later:
January Jones on camera now, with her dad.
I think this is the best January's looked on an awards show.
Here's Elisabeth.
And Christina.
January has her dad as a date…Ryan Seacrest threw her off for George Clooney and then barely talked to him and his boring date. What a tool…
Ryan couldn't get rid of January fast enough. Liked her dress but points off for the headband.
Marion Cotillard looks stunning. That fabric!

Marion Cotillard looks stunning in Dior. That fabric!

Here's January at yesterday's pre-Globes party.
…and here's January with headband.
Hamm and Jennifer are glimpsed. He's still bearded.
Here's Jon Hamm and Matt Weiner at yesterday's Lionsgate pre-Globes bash.
The one thing Matt can rock better than Jon, apparently, is a beard. Crap.
Lordy. Jon Hamm in facial hair by Armani.
Jon and Jen on with Ryan, talking about the beard.
Hamm touts Modern Family and Glee.
Gervais kills in the monologue; goes right for the penis jokes.
Nice! Mon'ique won for Precious. Totally deserved, she was terrifying in Precious.
Toni Collette gives a shout to Rosemarie DeWitt. Yay, Midge!
Lithgow wins for Dexter (the main competitor to out Mad Men).
The Hammster being gentlemanly http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/95835101/Getty-…
McCartney: "Animation is not just for children. It is also for adults who take drugs."
Side note: Jon Hamm's beard > William Hurt's beard.
Maybe it's just my generation, but I really don't like McCartney, circa 2010. He's become kind of a money-hungry jerk, it seems.
Mind you, after what happened with his ex, I'd probably want to make as much money back as I could too…
Yeah, saw that coming.
FUCK!
It's just like Top Chef.
Not a surprise Michael C. Hall won for Best Actor in a Drama. Sentiment was definitely with him. He is absolutely magnetic in Dexter, well-deserved.
Don't worry Jon, you'll get it one day.
Sigh.
Again, not a surprise about January not winning. Oh well, always another shot next year.
Well, at least they ripped the band-aid off quick and got them both out of the way…
I didn't know Ridley and Tony Scott produced The Good Wife. The guys who made films like Alien, Blade Runner, The Hunger, Top Gun and Thelma & Louise made a subtle drama like that? Crazy.
0 for 2. But perhaps MM will still win best drama.
Whoa! Cher looks straight of a wax museum… but wow, Christina A. looks incredible.
I think the show will win again…I guess these award shows see it as more of an ensemble. Even though January and Jon had some great scenes this season, especially together.
Yay T-Bone. Love T-Bone Burnett, going abck decades.
This feels like last year where the voters went out of their way to ignore our acting leads in favor of the Best Drama award. At least Jon didn't get ripped off in favor of Simon Baker. That would have been truly depressing.
Let's hope the Emmys give individual credit where credit is due, do you think any of these illustrious voters watched the last three episodes this year? S3 is just starting now overseas.
Come on Avatar…
Boo.
So a performance featuring voiceover and blood wins over nuance and subtext? It's hard to be a grownup, some days.
I'm glad I'm not watching (my day's bad enough — and as I mentioned, I'm not a fan of awards shows). Thanks for breaking the news, kids.
We love you, Jon.
If only January's headband went back just an inch or so, it would have a cool 1960s Bardot feel, but instead it goes where no headband should go. It looks like she was washing her face and just forgot it was there.
Hamm's the Man, but it was never going to go to him this year. Hall's battle with cancer pretty much guaranteed he was going to win.
Streep fails to split the Streep vote.
Streep also on Team T-Bone.
Streep is invincible. She's like an acting cyborg — unstoppable and endlessly good.
Sam Worthington is so awesome.
A person's disease should never win him or her any special consideration.
If life were that way, the squeaky wheels would always …
never mind.
A good night to all. Hooray for Hollywood?
The Gypsy & the Hobo should have won it for Hamm. It's some of the best acting I've ever seen, ever. I am very disappointed.
BTW, Jennifer Westfeldt is on 24 tonight. She spans networks.
Hee, Rich Sommer tweeted "Cher should consider having some work done."
FWIW…Mark Moses ("Duck" Phillips) had a small part as an embittered salesman with a rifle in the opening of "Human Target" tonight. Seemed apropos.
Very disappointed for Jon, but I'm hopeful for the SAG's. Jon was amazing in the Gypsy and the Hobo, and I hope that Emmy's will reward him for that.
YES!
Yesssssss!!!
That's more like it.
YAY!!!! Doesn't Lizzie look so happy? What a wonderful moment!
Matt says he was surprised…come on dude…we Basketcases all KNEW you'd pull it off! No show will ever compare. Congrats!
Yippee!!
Vincent's hair looked so different with it dyed blondish… and dang, Christina…
It looks like they didn't invite more of the crew this year. Still, they all look great and so happy.
Glad Mad Men won as Best Drama!
It makes up for Jon & January's loss – and, of course, the Chargers' dismal performance.
Rich Sommer:
All's right with the world again.
I love the pastels on Lizzie and Christina.
Man, Jane Lynch got robbed! I thought she'd win easily.
Good.
Christoph Waltz winning — YES! So deserved for Basterds…
Everyone looked fantastic tonight!! I thought Jon & Vincent looked great and Elisabeth, January, and Christina looked exceptionally raidiant and very beautiful as always!! What a great looking cast we have on Mad Men!!
Jon Hamming it up with that umbrella.
Intro from Gervais (drinking beer on stage): "I like a beer as much as the next man… unless the next man is… Mel Gibson!"
That was awesome, Karl! I made it my Facebook status update, lol. So happy that "Glee" won for Best TV Comedy! I actually watch all of those comedies so I would have been happy for any of them (well, maybe not "Entourage", that show is past its prime), but "Glee" needs the publicity more than any of them, so I'm glad they got it.
I could not believe "The Hangover" won Best Comedy! I absolutely love the movie. The funniest 2 hours ever!
Robert Downey, Jr. should be designated speech-giver (despite my preference for Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the category).
Bridges. Dude.
Matt and January and a Globe.
Plus, Avatar wins. Shocka.
I'm disappointed that "Up in the Air" and George Clooney didn't win their respective awards, mainly because that's less screen time for George. Plus, James Cameron has annoyed me since his ungracious "I'm the king of the world" acceptance speech for "Titanic."
Julia Roberts has to be pissed that people keep reminding her that she turned down The Blind Side.
Thoughts in bullet form:
- Thank god the show won.
- I love Jon Hamm, but I'm strangely okay with Michael C Hall winning. Still a sucker for anyone from Six Feet Under.
- Julianna Margulies over January? Really?
- Thank god Jane Lynch didn't win. Ugh that Glee beat Modern Family.
- Drew Barrymore was a nice surprise.
- Yay Toni Collette. Can't believe it's her first GG.
And on the movie side…
- I liked Avatar as an experience, but The Hurt Locker deserved both best picture and best director.
- So glad Christoph Waltz won! Inglourious Basterds probably deserved Best Screenplay, but I loved Up in the Air too.
- Sandra Bullock over Carey Mulligan? Really?
- Robert Downey Jr over Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Really?
- The Hangover over 500 Days of Summer? Really?
Okay, I'm done. Christina looked amazing as always and remains the true unsung [or unnominated at least] hero of Mad Men. Next year perhaps.
"Robert Downey Jr over Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Really?"
Really. Hooray for Robert!
I think as a film, 500 days might be better than Hangover but Hangover is infinitely much more fun than 500 days. But hey, Avatar won, so I guess anything else is possible right?
Can't complain about Michael Hall's win. He's great actor. Can't believe this is his first as well. Best Actors are always so competitive.

Damn that Jon and all the gals were looking beautiful! Even Vinnie!
Congratulations to Michael C. Hall! I'm not a regular viewer of DEXTER, but I have seen some of his work. And he really is that good.
