Watched the GGs last night. Predictably, it was glitzy and littered with familiar Hollywood stars. Most of the women wore weird dresses and had feathery concoctions in place of natural hair. Even the messiness of their hair was carefully done, one felt. Some of the necklaces/jewellery I loved!
Of the women there I liked for their timelss style - Meryl Streep & Susan Sarandon. Both are women of 'a certain age' and have an inimitable sense of presence. I also have a soft spot for Kate Winslett sitting between her husband and Leonardo di Caprio. Now, Leonardo is an actor I've always admired for his passion. I loved 'Titanic' and 'Blood Diamond'. But Kate won a GG and went to pieces. Her acceptance speech was a ham piece of acting, sounded false and completely ruined everyting. Also saw some gorgeous hunks like Brad Pitt. Tom Cruise looked older and more tired than ever. I liked Tom Hanks.
But the icing on the cake, for me, was watching 'Slumdog Millionaire' winning a couple of awards. Apna India was represented by ghastly Anil Kapoor (with a stubble), a suave Shahrukh Khan, A R Rahman - music maestro and the young pair in the movie, Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto.
Great to see people of Indian origin winning at the GGs. Hoepfully the Oscars will have them too.
