2012 Golden Globes: Aired Jan. 13, 2013

2012 Golden Globes Timeline:

Pre-show on the red carpet started at 5pm on the E! network.

5pm: Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos are waiting for guests to arrive at the Beverly Hills Hilton.  Giuliana's dress is a breath-taking silver and gray color with beautiful bead work.  It is by Oriett Domenech.  George needs a haircut. Kelly's dress looks like a bridesmaid's dress.

6pm: First person Ryan Seacrest interviewed was Debra Messing who I'm not a huge fan of and she wore a simple black dress that no one will remember.  Ryan's tux is hot.

6:05 pm: Giuliana changed into a horrible black lace dress with a high collar.  It looks like it's from the 1800's.  Kelly changed into a horrible pale army green dress that looks like she is about to perform for the troops.  

6:08: Nicole Richie's dress blue and is too matronly.  

6:11: I hate Julianne Hough's gold dress.  

6:17: I do not like Amy Adams' hair style.  Her dress is an ugly bland color and washes her out.  

6:19: Shut up Claire Danes.

6:20: Michelle Dockery's gold and white is very unique. 

6:25: Zooey Deschanel looks pretty but nothing stood out except her awesome nails with film strips across them. 

6:33: I don't love Tina Fey's red carpet black and white dress, but my mom called and said she did.  I love Amy Poehler's tight black suit.  

6:48: Gotta love Ross Matthews' gold blazer.

6:50: Some may think Mayim Bialik looked boring but she usually dresses as a frumpy hippie, so I am excepting this sheer long sleeved dress.

6:52: Carla Gugino's dress is awesomely elegant. 

6:55 Lucy Liu may be wearing the worst dress of the night.  A pale blue dress with a mixed floral print. Looks like curtains from the Queen's bedroom.  

7:00 I do not like Jessica Chastain's sea foam green dress. I love her red hair but I don't like the style she chose.  

7:08: Jennifer Lawrence looks gorgeous but the dress is a boring red with a gold belt. Her hair style is a great up-do.  

7:15: I don't like Amanda Seyfried's lace white dress. She's got a stupid pin on the neck.  Her hair is too long and dull. She needs more lipstick. Wow. so far so bad.

7:16: I think Naomi Watts looks nice in a burgundy dress.  Her neck looks so old.

7:17: I like Taylor Swift's eggplant dress.  Her earrings are beautiful with purple stones. Although the whole look is a little matronly for such a young girl.

7:20: Do not like Rachel Weisz cutesy black lace dress. I'm so over the short skirt and sheer from knees down. 

7:21: Usually Julianne Moore has horrible fashion sense but she is safe with a simple black and white dress.  The hem seems a tad bit short.

7:24: Love Kaley Cuoco's nude patterned flowing dress. 

7:27: Nicole Kidman looks like a young sexy biker chick.  Oh, it's Alexander McQueen that explains it. 

7:28: Adele looks gorgeous in a simple black dress.  

7:31: Second worst dressed of the night is Sienna Miller's dress with a floral lace print.  Like a one year old's easter dress.  

7:32: Marion Cottilard's dress is very similar to Jennifer Lawrence's but shorter.  Same red color with a gold belt. 

7:33: Julianna Margulies' dark purple lace dress is gorgeous.  She must be freezing it's 55 degrees in Beverly Hills right now.

7:35: Megan Fox's dress is forgettable.

7:39: HAHAHA Ross Matthews said Zooey looks "Granny Chic".

7:40: Pregnant Kristen Bell looks lovely in a white beaded dress.

7:45: Kate Hudson looks super elegant in a black dress with gold detailing on neck and waist.  Might be one of the best dressed. 

7:46: Sophia Vergara looks like a bombshell in a black sequined dress.

7:51: Oh Lord, JLo spotting. Barf.

7:52: Anne Hathaway is in a white two piece dress I know I've seen before.

7:53: Salma Hayek looks stunning in a black sequin dress with a big bow on her hip.

8:00: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are the hosts.  Tina's green sequin dress is very flattering.  Amy's red dress is pretty.

8:02: Thanks Daniel Day-Lewis for playing along.

8:03: oh no Meryl Streep is not here cause she has the flu.  I had that 2 weeks ago. Not fun.  Jennifer Lawrence has it but she decided to still come. Don't go near her table.

8:09: Thank goodness Christoph Waltz won for best supporting actor for "Django Unchained".  He was so good.

8:10: Oh Maggie Smith she always wins.  Downton Abbey.

8:17: Eva Longoria keeps showing her legs off. Stop! You're like 5" and look desperate.

8:30: HFP president comes out. Time to warm up dinner.

8:31: Don't love Rosario Dawson's sea foam dress.  But I think last year we could see her nipples so this is an improvement.

8:45: Adele wins!!! Such a good song.  She's so funny.

8:55: Oh my Kevin Costner's speech sounded like he was dying and saying goodbye.

8:57: Wow Bill Clinton! Knew he would get a standing ovation.

9:03: Kristen Wiig and Will Farell are so funny.

9:06: Jennifer Lawrence wins best actress!!! Hell Yea!

9:17: Anne Hathaway wins and thanks Sally Field.

9:24: Best Screenplay to Quentin Tarantino for "Django Unchained". Well deserved. 

9:26: Worst tux goes to Jeremy Irons. It looked like a night gown.

9:28: oh no Lucy Liu's dress again.

9:34: Sly Stallone and Schwarzenegger presenting. Can't understand either of them. 

9:39: Hate Claire Danes. Hate her strangled voice. Hate her over-acting.

9:49: I keep seeing Jodi Foster with her guest Mel Gibson.  I'm sure everyone is freaked out. I think it's hilarious. 

9:50: "Brave" won best animated film. I hated it. So stupid, no plot.

10:19: Jodi Foster wins the Cecil B. DeMille award. She seems a bit young. Her speech is a roller coaster of emotions. She announces she is gay and is single and thanks her dying mother and teenage sons and best friend Mel Gibson. Very emotional.

10:23: Ben Affleck wins best director.  Very stunned.

10:34: Christen Bale looks greasy. 

10:36: Jennifer Gardener presents. She is so cute. Hugh Jackman wins something.

10:50: Jessica Chastain wins best actress. She is so strong looking.

10:53: Daniel Day-Lewis wins best actor in a drama. I love him but hated the film.  It was a snoozzzzzzze fest. 

10:57: "Argo" wins best drama over "Django Unchained." I am Not pleased.
