Man, I hate the Golden Globes....

[vi5]

Now I"m a movie buff, and I can appreciate the self important camp value of awards shows. I like the Oscars and the emmy awards in large part because the self congratulatory over-serious nature of it all is fun to mock and laugh at and a lot of times they do reward fine artistic work. And the whole cult of personality thing around stars is sociologically fascinating.

But the Golden Globes with it's forced "Hey this is the fun, wacky awards show were everyone cuts loose" vibe is just so transparent and phony even for Hollywood. And it's the only place that actually rewards blatant "Look at me I'm a serious actah now" awards bait (Jim Carrey, I'm looking in your direction).

But my wife commandeered the television so it's either that or sequester myself on the computer.

1. You wanna know how ridiculous the Golden Globe are?

Katharine Hepburn, the greatest actress of the 20th century, NEVER won one.

Nicole Kidman, that talentless skank, who is NOT beautiful (she looks like the grinch) has three!

Yeah, take this crap seriously.

2. I don't care who wins....

Some of the most talented artists never win ANY awards.

However, I am all in favor of any Nicole Kidman bashing.

7. How much do you wanna hear???????????

Can we talk about her phony miscarriage--leaked to the press to get sympathy for her Oscar campaign, AND to make it it look like she and Tom actually might have had sex!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, right, like that happened.

8. Your kitty there is adorable, Darth...

We used to have a cat that would get into everything that she could. I don't know why she loved small spaces so much.

6. Watching for Johnny Depp

Gotta root for him for a Globe for Pirates. He's been nominated before but never won. Would love to see him up on the stage.

He has some dumb hat on and he looks like he hasn't had a bath in weeks.
