QPORIT: GOLDEN GLOBES 2011
http://qporit.blogspot.com/2011/01/golden-globes-2011.html

Ricky Gervais was funny, but very nasty -- almost evil in some remarks. Nasty can be funny, but that doesn't make it less nasty.

DeNiro was very funny. (Too bad some of what he said was not just bleeped off the air, but totally silenced.)

Robert Downey Jr. almost had a good routine about sleeping (or not) with the female actress nominees. But Natalie Portman totally nailed the story about who wanted to sleep with whom. (And he did, and she's expecting.)

Michael Douglas wished there were an easier way to get a standing ovation.

I'm glad Aaron Sorkin & Social Network won. They were terrific. Jesse Eisenberg should have won also. That was an amazing acting job.

Black Swan, Barney's Version, and The King's Speech, GG winners all, were all shown -- in fact, featured -- last year at the Hamptons International Film Festival. (http://qporit.blogspot.com/2010/09/first-preview-2010-hamptons.html)

SNL Who Do I Have To Screw To Get A Drink Around Here?

SNL tonight with Robert DeNiro was a rather dreary evening 'til the end. The Open got in a few good shots at WikiLeaks. DeNiro's Opening Monologue was funny. Most of the skits were lame. Through the night there were too many DeNiro-is-a-good-sport skits. The worst featured DeNiro and a look-exactly-alike for Robin Williams sitting there at an interview doing nothing while the interviewer & friends did mad-stupid musical-dancy numbers. (Couldn't think which SNL regular it was doing a dead-on Robin; I'd of thought it was Robin himself except he looked in such good shape and was so quiet... the real Robin would've out-mad-danced the mad dancers. DeNiro even kept up the act... at the end thanking "Robin Williams". Must've been Robin Williams doing an impression of a quiet, fit Robin Williams. )

(It's sometimes hard telling real celebrities from look-similars, especially when they don't say or do anything that evokes their aura... Just this afternoon I walked passed a woman who looked exactly like what Jennifer Aniston would look like if she were not a movie/TV star. Was it Jennifer in disguise as a real civilian? Or a real civilian with the Aniston look?)

But after almost an hour and a half of beginning to question why I was still watching, SNL came up with one of their memorable winners. Joined by (the real) Ben Stiller, in a bar with terrible service, DeNiro answered the question, "Who do I have to screw to get a drink around here?"

Here's the full sketch from SNL (which they politely call, "It's a Living"):
