Jake Gyllenhaal at the Golden Globes - and with Jenny and Busy (Part 1)

A little awards ceremony took place last night, and while Jake Gyllenhaal (and both Johnny Depps) didn't walk away with a Globe, golden or otherwise, it did at least get him out of the house and into another tux (Burberry this time). Jake's escort for the evening was the lovely Jenny Lewis, an old friend and flame. Not to mention everyone's favourite bodyguard.






Some videos from last night...





Earlier in the day, Jake went out for lunch with Busy Philipps and her family. This also served to prove the point that it's a lot warmer in LA than it is in much of the rest of the northern hemisphere.


This is a Part 1 post - there will be more later!

Many thanks to IHJ for the pictures - there are many more there.

I don't usually make it a point to watch awards shows, but the Golden Globes last night were a real treat. Ricky Gervais was hysterical, prompting numerous gasps of disbelief (I don't believe he just said that!) along with huge laughs from the crowd he was targeting with his witty barbs.

Jake looked stunning as he made his way in along the red carpet, stopping for a chat here and there. It was nice to see him mingling with friends and fellow celebrities, apparently having a good time, during the course of the show. At one point between award presentations I noticed he was talking with Michelle Williams.

Anne Hathaway looked gorgeous, as usual. Natalie Portman was radiant and she gave an eloquent acceptance speech. Robert Downey, Jr. as a presenter was quite entertaining. Christian Bale deservingly won best supporting actor for his role in The Fighter. There were lots of great moments in the broadcast and I'm glad I spent last evening watching it.

Hi Susan! Great to get your report. I did some searching around during lunch, and saw Ricky Gervais' opener. OMG, they'll never have Brits back again! But congratulations to Colin Firth and Natalie. And most of all to David Fincher!!!

Anne looked just beautiful. That's great you saw Jake chat with Michelle. Hope we see pictures of that.

There was an awful lot of fabric in those dresses....

Jenny Lewis is wearing the dress Reese wore to the Monsters Vs. Aliens premiere.

Hi Anon - The colours are different but it is uncannily similar!

It looks like it was great hot night. What a pity they don't do it at Saturday night. Would be easier to watch :(
Jake seems to have good time, looked joyful and handsome. That interview you paste, WDW, is very funny. Good to see Jake in such a good shape and humour.
I'm looking forward to next post with new goodies.

Alejandra said...

Loved the vids!! Really made me laugh. Great way to start the week, I'd say. :-)

Thanks for the post, WDW. Looking forward to Part 2.

I love seeing Jenny there with Jake. I adore her. I love that they've stayed friends for so long.

Ricky Gervais was hilarious. He should host every awards show.

I wish Jake had won. I also wish Black Swan got more recognition.

Hi WDW...
Firstly I want to thank you for the full report of the audio interview, it's really helpful, you know... And it's a very good interview, so many new things that we've not heard of, I like the part where Jake talk about his early career, October Sky...
And the next day post after that, with pics of Jake jogging wearing(I don't believe it) Power Balance(It has been booming here, and I think it's a silly and weird thing somehow), Jake is very gorgeous and sexy though.
It's so unfortunate Jake didn't win the award... Looking forward for more in part 2...
Thanks for the posts WDW!!!
Oh.. and the vids are very nice, so funny, seems like Jake has a high humor mood level.

I love Jenny. Its great to see her with Jake. Our man was looking smoking hot last night. Can't wait to see more pics.

Anne looked amazing last night and just heard she will be appearing on Glee soon too. dg

Congrats to Natalie, Colin and David Fincher. Well deserved:)

Jenny looks cute, I am glad he had a date for the GG. I hope he gets an oscar nod.

he looked like he was having a great time last night. I noticed he was sitting behind Michael Douglas. That must have been thrilling for him.

I saw him talk to Michelle at one point. I like how the actors can mingle about during commercial breaks. And I'm sure there must have been an after party they hung out at

thanks for the vids, WDW

@Susan, unfortunately the link you gave works only in USA :( Pity!
I don't know Jenny Lewis at all. What I found out just now, that she and Jake were dating shortly during Donnie Darko time in 2001. Jake and Reese were together at her concert. She's an actress and singer. I heard one song, I think country. It was quite good. Is she famous in States? How do you know she was Jake's date. Was she sitting with him at the table? They don't have any proper picture together. Just her "chasing" Jake on the parking lot :)Their dresses didn't match completely. How do you know?
@Eureka - those huge snails they have some internal parasites, dangerous to humans. It's forbidden to touch them even. Watch out! :)

Has anyone watched that movie with Paul Giamatti, who won over Jake - "Barney's Version"? Was he really that good?

mermon said...

Ok, I found a picture of Jake an Jenny at the table (on IHJCommunity). They look fine together. I think it was nice of her to go with Jake for GG. At least and at last he wasn't alone.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi everyone! Just got back from seeing Green Hornet :)

Hey Mermon! It's certainly not easy to watch over here! But Jake looked great. Jake and Jenny have been good friends for at least 10 years so I don't think you you can describe her as 'chasing' him across the carpark! The dress looks to be by the same designer as Reese's but with different colours. I love to see Jake smile like that :D

Hi Alejandra! I great start to the week :D

I think Jenny is amazing too, Leslie! I always love seeing her with Jake :D

I'm so glad you liked the posts, Serene! I don't believe in the bracelets either but it's fun to see Jake wearing them :D

Hi Susan!

Our man looked smoking hot indeed, Carol :)

Hi Sweetpea :) I'm always amused by how much chatting goes on at the Globes, and not even just during the breaks either. It must be so disruptive.

mermon said...

WDW - by "chasing him" I meant the way those pictures was made, very funny. Of course I know she was not really chasing him. Maybe I just used wrong word.

Carol said...

Just saw a pic of Jake talking to Matt Damon at the Marie Claire aftershow party.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Mermon! I thought you meant she was chasing him! The internet can make chatting so hard :D

Cazajuguetes said...

Very nice videos WDW!
They put a smile in my face. Jake was really playful. And ready for entertainment action.
I did not know about Jenny, are there any archive posts we should visit? Nice of him to bring a friend.
Thanks

Hi Eureka! There have been a few Jenny posts over the years, just search for Jenny in the search bar in the right hand side panel. She's stuck with Jake through thick and thin :D
