LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

I feel like Rob Lowe is STILL a teen heartthrob. An all ages heartthrob.

I love Steve Coogan! He gets nowhere near enough love. He's brilliant, and also brilliantly funny.

Oh Cuba Gooding Jr! I haven't seen anything from him lately. I'm excited to see him again.

Did Brad Pitt shape his hair like that for a role? Interesting haircut.

Matt Damon and glasses = ideal. But also, thanks for being amazing.

Shockingly, I was NOT spoiled for these awards! This is all brand new information. NOTE: I saw August: Osage County, and it was spectacular to me. Well deserved nominations for Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. Also, can we talk about Benedict Cumberbatch MORE PLEASE?

LOVE that - "shining a light under the floorboards of this nation and showing what we stand on." A really affecting line from Lupita's speech. And a shoutout to Yale Drama."Do you know Brad Pitt, Daddy? I'm going to be in a movie with him." "I don't know him personally, but I'm glad you got a job." Amazing anecdote!

Well, at least Jeremy Renner got to BE THERE. STILL MAD ABOUT THE LACK OF RECOGNITION.

There has been a lot of controversy on my Twitter feed about American Hustle lately, but I am firmly in the 'I love it' camp.

I am really glad to see a newcomer getting such great recognition, especially for what seems to be kind of a scary role. It's important to recognise newcomers in their own right, and not just as newcomers, as many award shows seem to do. Barkhad Abdi FTW!

I had NO IDEA Jared Leto hadn't ever been nominated for a SAG before. Travesty, but I'm so glad that he did get to win. "Wonderful tribe of dreamers" - love that description of SAG-AFTRA!And thank you, Jared, for dedicating it to those who have been affected by this disease. This is so important; I believe it's way more important than thanking people who got the performer the job or the like; it almost makes people forget who the film would really impact, especially when it comes to iconic stories such as this. I need to see Dallas Buyers Club very soon.

Tina Fey's last nomination for 30 Rock! Kind of bittersweet. But well deserved.

Bahahaha adorable acceptance speech from Julia Louis-Dreyfus! Sometimes the comedy bits get tired, but this one stayed fresh and funny!

I love to watch those camera shots when the subjects have no idea they're being filmed. Dame Helen Mirren looked like she was about to fall asleep.

DID I JUST NOT KNOW THAT JOHN CUSACK IS IN THE BUTLER? (Also, why do we always have to call it Lee Daniels' The Butler? I understand he made it, but I've never really understood the practice of owning a film in that way.)

Fourth consecutive win for Modern Family ensemble! People truly love this show. I do enjoy it. Also, "we're going to make Sofia talk, because America loves her and her boobs." This is very true.

I'm a big fan of presidents' speeches, actually. Always interesting to see the people behind these organisations! Also, you gotta love the Dakota Fanning shout out. (I'M FOUR YEARS OLDER THAN DAKOTA FANNING, IN OTHER WORDS. MY LIFE IS NOTHING.)

I feel like Elisabeth Moss is actually adorable. She looks so happy for Helen - and that's such a great thing to see. And Helen just returned that - oh my goodness! She gave her a special round of applause, from herself. If I were Elisabeth, I would probably flip out.

EMMA THOMPSON FOR HOSTING ALL THE AWARD SHOWS EVER. Preferably including Ewan McGregor with that fantastic hair.

You gotta love EGOTs! There's only been eleven so far. I'm always rooting for people to get there; it's such an achievement. And Rita Moreno is well deserving! This woman. This. Woman. This actress. (And yes, I say actress. That's a WHOLE other blog post.) Getting to hear her sing on her feet is phenomenal as well. My mum also just said she's better than Diane Keaton. WELL, YEAH.

The In Memoriam section always makes me cry. But it's so important to have. Although it also makes me a little sad that sometimes people die, and you have no idea, because they didn't fit the definition of being famous anymore. It's weird to think of how the media explodes about certain deaths, but not others. It also makes you think about death and how people react to it. But I think In Memoriam segments are a great way of remembering and honouring those who have passed.
