I am a movie fanatic and a complete junky of the entertainment world. What can I say, now you all know my weaknesses 
So, as a child, when I got introduced to film, I began to envy my mother’s generation, because of all the gentlemanly leading men in cinema. I secretly fell in love with a few of them even though they were old enough to be my father or grandfather.
When I was in my 20′s and 30′s, it seemed as if there was a gap in the entertainment industry as far as having “gentlemenly” leading men. I just didn’t think anyone could step up to the plate to those from the classic Hollywood film era.
But in the last decade or so I have discovered that, I too have reached a point in life, where I can honestly say I am proud to have known a few classic and “gentlemenly” actors from my generation. Here is the list ladies and gentlemen, let me know what you think?
You know I actually was going to leave this topic for my other blog here, but since the fashion introduced on the red carpet is pretty influential and vital to the fashion industry and trend followers, I decided to include some of my favorites and not so favorites from this year’s Golden Globe for the over 40 crowd.
My list of picks for best dressed:
1. Jennifer Lopez - Zuhair Murad gown – best dressed winner in my opinion
2. Nicole Kidman – Prada gown – safe and flawless
3. Kyra Sedwick – Emilio Pucci gown – gorgeous in my opinion – vibrant colors and riskee but truly gorgeous.
4. Melissa Leo – gown unknown – safe, beautiful in a sequence gown.
5. Julie Brown – Tadashi Shoji – elegant and glamorous and very age appropriate
My list of picks for the worst dressed:
1. Helen Bonham Carter – Doesn’t matter what gown – disaster
2. Tilda Swinton – Doesn’t matter what gown – with her model like features, she could have dressed better.
3. Julianne Moore – again her choice of gown is a miss.
4. Halle Berry – Nina Ricci – although she looked hot, in my opinion she forgot to actually wear a gown over her under garment.
5. Sandra Bullock – Jenny Packham – not the best look for her beautiful features.
6. Edie Falco – Valentino gown – not a fan of her take on the one shoulder gown.
