The Golden Globes were on last night, and L'Oréal debuted their new commercial with Winona in it. She's in a black dress, by herself, prepping before going on stage for something. She's brought out and the camera finally gets that shot of her face, smiling and confident. The punch line is that everybody loves a comeback and your hair deserves one too.
The filming and the dressing room have a wonderful retro vibe to them. She's pacing around and working out the tension and muttering her lines to herself and it all rings true. When they finally show her smiling into the camera, you forget to breathe for a second or two. It's confirmation that good commercials can cost more then the tv shows they are on. (True fact, by the way.)
But, as the highest paid singer on this planet said; "Haters gonna hate" and already there is some muttering. People wondered if it should have played during last nights' show when everybody was wearing black to draw attention to ending harassment, that sort of deal.
It's a wonderfully done hair product commercial, folks. And it's from L'oreal. So you get CLOSE UPS OF FEMALE HAIR. And it still made me watch until the end. Usually those things come on and I head for a new diet Pepsi.
She HAS had a comeback. I give her full credit for coming out and saying that plain fact instead of pretending she never spent time in the desert. For tacitly admitting she gets the jitters before going out on stage. For smiling into the camera as if to say; "Yes, I am over thirty in fact, over forty but I am still the prettiest little thing in the kitchen."
And it was NOT the biggest lapse in taste last night by a long shot. Susan Sarandon came out and talked about 'women supporting women' when she did everything to stop the Clinton campaign she could think of. Elizabeth Moss talked about how women were telling their own stories now, while she still supports Scientology (they have apparently covered up some celeb sex assaults). Oprah did a barn burner of a speech, but am I THE ONLY ONE who remembers her soft ball interviews in the good old days with Donald Trump?
I hope L'oreal makes a fortune from it.

). And about that damaged hair comparison, as far as 'her comeback' - what has really been damaged? By the way, technically, you could say she had a comeback but, yes, that has already passed even well before Stranger Things came along. Also, let haters hate,
