Krasinski and Poehler get 'Pretty in Pink'
The Golden Globes weren't the only awards show held over the weekend. Friday was the 15th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, where celebrities mingled in shiny outfits and Matt Damon was spotted chatting up Joe Jonas. (Who knew Jason Bourne was a Jo. Bros. fan?)
We hear the highlight of the Critics’ Choice event was Newton-bred "Office" actor John Krasinski and Burlington-bred Amy Poehler’s tribute to the late John Hughes, which featured the comedy stars dressed as Jon Cryer and Molly Ringwald’s characters from the Hughes classic “Pretty in Pink.’’ Death Cab for Cutie followed their presentation with a live cover of the Simple Minds hit from Hughes’s “The Breakfast Club,’’ “Don’t You (Forget About Me).’’
They did a pretty good job with the costumes, right?
