Watching House

So congratulations to Hugh for winning last night! I’m so happy!! He did an amazing job last night and his speech was hilarious (I’m still looking for a YouTube for it). And it looks like some of the crew got to chat with some of the celebrities that were there, including Olivia Wilde hanging out with Angelina Jolie (how shocking was THAT?)

Were you happy Hugh won?!

Hugh managed to sneak into the SAG awards and guess what? He won for best actor in a drama! I’ll put the Youtube up of his speech (which is hilarious) as soon as I can find it!!! Congrats Hugh!!

House, unfortunately lost for Best Dramatic Series….dang it.

Looks like the House crew has showed up enforce at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards! Or, for us normal people, the SAG awards. Even Kal Penn is there! So far we’ve got Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, and Kal, and I’ll keep adding photos as they arrive, although I’m wondering if Hugh is going to sneak in the back door again as he did for the last award!

Good luck Hugh and House!

The House crew has started showing up at the Golden Globes - I’ll update the photos in the gallery as I get more!

Edited to add: I’m not sure what’s going on, but I don’t see Hugh at the Globes! Does anyone else? Did he skip it?

Edited again! Hugh IS there - he snuck in somehow! Unfortunately he did NOT win for Best Actor in a TV Series Drama. Dang it. Gabriel Byrne won. (did I jinx it earlier?!)

Both House and Hugh are up for awards tonight at the Golden Globes, but will they win? Hugh has won two Golden Globes, but it’s been two years since he’s won, so here’s hoping that this is his year! He’s going up for Best Actor in a Television Drama against:

Gabriel Byrne - In Treatment
Michael C. Hall - Dexter
Jon Hamm - Mad Men
Jonathan Rhys Meyers - The Tudors

I’m a huge fan of Gabriel Byrne, even though I’ve never seen In Treatment, I think he’s an amazing actor. Do I think he should win over Hugh? Of course not! But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying his acting skills. As for the other three - I’ve never seen their shows either, but it would be difficult for me to find an actor in a television series that is as good as Hugh is in House.

The actual show has never won a Golden Globe! How sad is this?! This year House is nominated for Best Television Drama and is going against:

Dexter
In Treatment
Mad Men
True Blood

House lost to Mad Men last year, which actually really bummed me out! I’m hoping that this year we’ll get to see House win!

Did you ever wonder what the stars eat when they’re at these types of award shows? At the Golden Globes, the cast and crew of House that is there will be dining on:

To start with, they’ll have an appetizer of California organic field greens with white asparagus, crisp apricot dill goat cheese in Phyllo along with a poached pear with a maple syrup apple cider vinaigrette.

For a main course? Grilled prime tenderloin of beef coated in crisp green tea pearls, sauteed aromatic Asian spice marinated sea bass in a sherry wine yuzu pepper sauce, w/ Grilled king oyster mushroom, jicama, romanesco, and potato onion croquette.

And for dessert? Golden chocolate globe with organic yogurt Pistachio mousse.

Photos should start popping up around 6:30 EST or so, and I’ll be here to post them all up for us all to enjoy! I’m sure Jennifer Morrison will be there, and Olivia Wilde, and of course Hugh and Lisa. Will Robert Sean Leonard show up? How about Jesse and Omar (eh - we could skip Omar)….do you think the ladies of House will have better gowns this time?

See you all at 6:30 EST!!!

The above photo is seriously HQ and is awesome when in full size - and would make a great desktop! Click on it to check it out in HQ

To start with: congratulations to the entire cast and crew of House for winning the People’s Choice Award for Best Television Drama! You certainly deserve it - although I don’t classify House as a drama, more as the best hour of TV on all week (although I am starting to get almost as hooked on Fringe…thanks to it showing after House for so long.)

Let’s get down to business now, shall we? I got the HQ images of our lovely House ladies so that we can see how bad the damage was…and for a few, it was pretty bad. Let’s start with my favorite fashion victim lover, shall we?

Jennifer Morrison, step on down!

At first glance I thought “oh - she’s wearing a nice little silver dress. Appropriate length, good color, nice!” then I took a closer look. My guess? Jennifer headed to New York City for the New Years Eve ball dropping ceremony and decided to steal a few pieces off of the ball because she was “inspired”…either that or she took down the disco ball she had in her apartment and decided that some recycling was in order.

Seriously, what was she trying to accomplish with this dress? Yes, the color and length are great, and the shoes are killer - her hair looks good and even her makeup is fine, so why strap yourself into a dress that looks like it was a castoff from Janet Jackson’s canceled tour? (maybe THAT’s where she got it from…)

One thing that you don’t see from the front is this:

She.Has.No.Curves. The dress suggests curves from the front but once you see the side you realize that there’s nothing to her! Apparently she’s decided to drop even more weight since Olivia came on board and out-skinnied her, because I don’t remember Jennifer ever looking this thin.

Come on down Olivia Wilde!

At first glance this dress is extremely classy. I love how wispy it is and how it reminds me of classic Hollywood with a modern twist to it. I absolutely adore her arm bands and her makeup is flawless. I even love how a simply ponytail looks great with the dress. The only complaint I have is that she looks to skinny! Come on Olivia - put a little weight on! On one side it looks like the dress is hanging a bit, but I think that it’s just the fabric draping in a strange way. I just wish I could see what her shoes look like!

Hello Lisa Edelstein! (sorry - was unable to find any HQ versions of her entire dress)

Nice long black dress - classic. A little peek-a-boo down at the bottom of the dress, which I adore, and a matching bag - nice. How can you go wrong with a long black dress?

Like this.

Dear God! It looks like she snagged the plant holder that my grandmother used to use to hold her spider plants with! You know the one - it’s the same one almost every grandmother had - the thickly braided one that holds the spider plant suspended in the air so that the vines can drape down and annoy you? And your grandmother got bonus points if hers had beads in it (my grandmother’s did).

And then, as if that weren’t bad enough, there’s round shiny things on her chest?! What happened Lisa?! First the dress that the 70’s forgot and now this hot-grannie style top?

And let’s not even point out that during her portraiture sitting she had a little something right there….

It was not a good night for Jennifer or for Lisa. But there was someone who managed to look absolutely fabulous (aside from Olivia and all the men, that is)…

Jesse’s girlfriend? Looked hot! I love the dress, and I especially love the little handbag that she’s got going on as well! She looked really, really good.

All the men looked great, including your favorite and mine, Omar Epps (his suit was great but his attitude was sorely lacking.)

Here’s a few videos of the wins last night, in case you didn’t get the chance to see them. Let’s hope that we not only win on Sunday, but that Lisa and Jennifer get nicer dresses!!

It’s still on right now so all the awards haven’t been given out yet, but Hugh just won for Favorite Male actor in a Television show! GO HUGH!!

Here are the pics I’ve found so far - I’m sure there will be more up before I go to bed and even more tomorrow, as I know Lisa was there and there aren’t any pics of her yet….all photos will be placed here and I’ll write more about the dresses (and my opinion of them) in the morning.

GO HUGH!

Edited to add: House won for best TV Drama! The entire cast (or what looked like it) was on stage! I can’t wait for pictures of that! GO HUGH AND HOUSE!! - sorry - it’s late and I’m excited!

Once more House, and Hugh, have been nominated for Golden Globes - will this be the year that Hugh finally wins?! What do you think?

And now that Hugh’s based in LA, hopefully we’ll see him, as well as other cast members, on the red carpet this year!

So I’ve been watching the Emmy’s since a bit past 8 (long day) and so far, no Hugh? I’ve been looking for pictures of him through Wire Image and through other sites and I’ve seen none?!?! Have you?

Here, however, are tons of photos of Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Morrison, and Olivia Wilde arriving at the Emmy’s. My opinion? Their dresses all look great, but my favorite would have to be Lisa’s. She looks beautiful - and the new haircut?! Nice! What do you think?

More photos and news as I come upon it!

Update: new photos of Omar Epps and Kal Penn…

What are you watching on Sunday at 8 EST? The Emmy’s? Good! Hugh and House have once again been nominated for a number of things: here’s the list:

I also believe that Lisa Edelstein is presenting but I haven’t had that confirmed yet - I’ll keep checking. You can be sure that, the minute the stars hit the red carpet, I’ll be posting pictures of them on Sunday!

Sorry guys! It’s been a crazy week, and I’ve let House slide by a bit because, well, there really wasn’t much news! I was really excited when I heard that the shows were going to start again, but then I got a bit bummed when I realized it would be the end of APRIL before we saw a new episode - not that I don’t like reruns, but I really want to see more of this season and see if the old ducklings get more air time and how cut throat bitch and Wilson do together!

The news I’ve missed? Omar Epps won an award! He won the award for best supporting actor - congrats Omar!!

And some trailers have turned up for Street Kings! Here’s the best one I can find so far (I’d forgotten how much I missed Keanu in a modern law-type role), and I’ll put more up if I can find it!

While everyone in American is focused on the Grammy’s tonight, over the pond they’re focused on the BAFTA’s! The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards have been going on for over 60 years. I’m pretty sure that Hugh was giving the award for best Screenplay, as the photos of Hugh in the press room are him posing with Diablo Cody, the writer for the Juno screenplay, which won. The wonderful Esther told me about his presence there and said that there were a few times that the camera panned onto Hugh and his lovely wife, Jo. I haven’t found any photos of that yet, but I’ll keep looking! Enjoy the photos of Hugh at the BAFTA’s, and thanks again Esther!!

Behind Sienna Miller and Kiera Knightly - a rough place to be!

I’m in a monkey suit next to a woman dressed up like a cheetah…where’s Stephen Fry when I need him?

Look - I see something over there…not quite sure….

See! it’s over there…look closely…

I love this look! He’s so funny…

This is my stern look.

Yeah - all right - I’m in a monkey suit with enough flashing to blind me…

Added - a little video of Hugh arriving at the BAFTA’s - the only video I can find so far…I love the woman yelling “Dr. House!!”

Well, Olivia Wilde was the only House star that I could find at the SAG awards! I’m really shocked, actually, I thought Lisa Edelstein would be there for sure, especially since she’s been such a huge supporter of the SAG during their strike. I’m still kind of bummed that House lost…I mean, the show doesn’t need any awards for me to know how awesome it is, but to lose to Sopranos, which hasn’t had a new episode in how long? Just seems odd.

Olivia looks…eh…okay, I guess. I usually like her a lot better in her finery, but for some reason she looks a bit haughty in these photos…not sure why. Is it just me? How do you think she looked?

I just spent about an an hour watching the press conference. What? You didn’t know that the Golden Globes were reduced to a press conference simply because of the writers strike? Well, let me give you the rundown: House LOST.

Yes, LOST.

First, Hugh lost for best actor in a drama series to Jon Hamm from Mad Men.

Who - what?! WTF is Mad Men?

Next, House lost for Best Drama television show to…you guessed it…MAD MEN!

WTF!

I’m not taking it personally, though, because this round of Golden Globes seemed to be the Golden Globes where the actors/shows/movies that Randi doesn’t know all won. I mean, come on, what’s Californication? And Life Support? There were three movies that won that I know: Ratatouille (of course I know this movie…I have kids), Atonement (I HATE Keira Knightley), and Sweeny Todd (how the hell did THAT get on the list! Didn’t it just hit theaters…like…yesterday?)

Other than that, there was nothing that won that I knew. Then again, when the prestigious Golden Globes is turned into a press conference, anything can happen!

Apparently my eyes have been wide SHUT the last few days! Not only did I miss the announcement of the winners of the People’s Choice Awards, I also missed that Omar Epps was nominated for best supporting actor and House was nominated for best drama show for the NAACP awards!

Back to the People’s Choice Awards, however - House WON for best TV Drama! Yes! Apparently the pre-taped show was done that way in order to prevent the same kind of problems that had the Golden Globes shutting down their doors.

Sorry I was absent yesterday guys - you know how life is! I live in Vermont, actually, and apparently there is a HUGE snow storm due here tomorrow, so you may not hear from me then, either, if it knocks my satellite out. Anyway, enough about me - here’s what’s going on in “Hugh” land!

You take the man out of Hollywood and he immediately starts looking British again! That’s alright, we love Hugh when he’s in his “brit” mode, don’t we? Hugh popped up at Covent Garden two nights ago wearing a beautiful, LONG jacket and a slight smile. Honestly, can you look more british than he does right here? I doubt it!

I’m going to guess that he’ll be home until after the New Year, so maybe we’ll get a few more shots of him hanging around in his homeland.

Meanwhile, Hush has had a reaction to being nominated for the Golden Globes - oh - wait - did I forget to mention that?! Well hang on tight, if you hadn’t heard, because we’re headed BACK to the Globes this year! Hopefully we’ll kick some butt! House was mentioned twice, for Best Drama and for Best Actor in a Drama Series - here are what the show is up against:

I’ve never seen any of the other shows, so I’m not sure how stiff the competition is - what do you guys think?

Anyway, here’s what Hugh had to say about being nominated as lead actor in a drama series: “I’m extremely honored to be included in such company. But now, especially now, I have to emphasize how much I owe to David Shore and all the writers on ‘House.’ Without them, I wouldn’t even know how to finish this sentence without….you know…”

Leave it to Hugh to bring the Writer’s Strike into the equation - it’s no wonder we love this man!!
