America Ferrera at the 2009 Golden Globes

Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera looked awesome on the red carpet of the Golden Globes last night, didn’t she?

She mentioned in her interview Tuesday on The View that she hadn’t picked a dress yet. I’d say she did pretty well for just “throwing something together”. I know Ferrera is fond of Monique Lhuillier, but I don’t know if that’s who she turned to yet. Stay tuned…

As much as I love when America wears form-fitting dresses in defiance of the Hollywood zero worship, I think this dress is extremely flattering. Compared to some of her earlier red carpet appearances, it’s obvious that Ferrera displays more confidence, and that Vanessa Williams‘ mentoring is paying off.

As for the awards themselves, I thought the broadcast was a trainwreck. It made me pine for last year’s strike-caused news conference show.

I probably would have felt better if America had won the semi-annual Tina Fey award, er, award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, but we all knew the Hollywood Foreign Press Association would go with Fey.

I so wished Tina Fey had spoken to me when she jokingly addressed her internet detractors.

Regardless, just seeing America look so beautiful and done-up made the evening worthwhile.
