Tina Fey + Amy Poehler + Golden Globes = Best. Awards. Show. Ever! | Source: WENN

We’re usually more excited about what people wear to the Golden Globes than what actually goes on at the show–until now. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were announced as co-hosts to the Golden Globe Awards, which are sort of like a precursor to the Oscars, and we’re flippin’ thrilled!

1. Their brilliant comedic timing.
Think back to their 2008 debates as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton and everything about Baby Mama.

2. It’s a huge step for funny women.
Traditionally, most awards show hosts have been men (save for the occasional tweak, which doesn’t always end well–picture Anne Hathaway, who we totes adore, and um, James Franco–it was a mess!).

3. They’re sticking it to dudes by sticking together.
Another reason this makes us so happy is because we live in a world where the media likes to pit successful women against one another, and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have never let that happen. They rose up together, they helped one another, and now they’re on top of the world and still BFFs. There’s room for everyone everywhere if you’re good to one another and if you’re good at what you do.

4. It may inspire more advice videos.
“How to dress up for a red carpet event” may be the next brilliant, super-wise bit from Amy Poehler. Should come in handy for prom, too!

5. This will probably make a really good essay in the followup to Bossypants.
Speaking of which, Tina, can you please get on that? We need it. We need it.

6. The photobombing.
It makes us so happy when they do that–but as co-hosts, they probably won’t need to!

7. The girl power.
Remember how all the women nominees stood together at the Emmys? Maybe we’ll have another massive girl-bow at the Golden Globes.

8. The dance moves.
You know how Liz Lemon gets down on 30 Rock? And how Leslie Knope angry-dances? What if they did that together? Minds: Officially blown.

9. They know how to deal with live TV.
Since they started in improv and starred on Saturday Night Live, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will be equipped to deal with any live-television-style disasters–and they likely won’t even break a sweat doing it.

10. The dresses!
Nothing against male awards shot hosts, but not only will Tina and Amy probably be funnier without needing to be so “edgy” (read: mean), but they’ll also be a lot more fun to look at. Tuxes are boring!

In the meantime, we can’t wait til January 13 to see this!
