Golden Globes 2015 - Fashion Overview - Forever Chic Style

"Je Suis Charlie"              The 72nd Golden Globe ball was held on Sunday, January 11, 2015 with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler wittingly lashing out at the cinema industry with tongue and cheeky humor.  The banter between the two was hilarious and left the audience in stitches especially with a joke about George Clooney.   An awkward moment occurred when Jennifer Aniston presented the opening award of the evening.  The two crazy comedians asked the audience for someone to come up on stage with Aniston to announce the award. The first one to raise their hand will be the chosen winner.  Benedict Cumberbatch, nominee Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama for The Imitation Game eagerly pounced on the opportunity.  Aniston was oddly shocked and showed frustration and surprisingly wasn't able to "wing it." It was a cringe worthy start to the affair but soon forgotten. On the other hand, winners Kevin Spacey , George Clooney , Ed
