Golden Globes Party!

I'll be quite honest: I haven't seen many of the films and television shows that are up for awards this year. I know, I know, what kind of pop culture junkie do I think I am?! With the exception of Parks and Recreation (my absolute favorite show at the moment) Downton Abbey (Maggie Smith is my hero) and Bridesmaids (hilarious film!) I am not really rooting for anything.

Does that mean that I won't be enjoying any Golden Globe festivities? I wouldn't miss it for the world. I must admit that I have a bit of an obsession with awards shows. Ever since I was a kid, my family always had parties for the Golden Globes and for the Oscars. My mom would set out a tray of snack foods, open a bottle of Martinelli's and we would dish on the different celebrity outfits.

This year, I am going to be enjoying the Golden Globes with some close friends. I can't wait to see if Ricky Gervais offers up a repeat performance of last year's snark-fest. Or will he tone it down? Hopefully not!
