The Oscars have decided in order to build interest for this year's Awards show they are going to keep who is presenting top secret according to The New York Daily News. Hey you want to get people to watch, how about nominating movies people have seen and the real movie goer wants to root for? If they think that keeping it secret that they are going to have same old people present the Awards is going to build interest, they are sadly mistaken. If they want viewers, tell us that Hugh Jackman will do the show topless or will remove a piece of clothing as each half hour goes on!!! If the latter is the case, than hopefully the show will go long!!!
I opted out of watching the Golden Globes, because I think they suck! Nothing I ever plan on seeing or watching ever wins, so I figure why give up 3 hours of my life to watch something I don’t care about. But one of the things I missed was Sacha Baron Cohen giving his speech before announcing who won Best Comedy. And let’s just say I am sure that speech was funnier than Vicky Christina Barcelona was throughout the whole movie.
And one other thing I missed according to Dlisted was Darren Aronofksy giving Mickey Rourke the finger he so rightfully deserved.
BTW if you actually care about the Golden Globes and want a great recap of the night, check out Dlisted who suffered through the whole show so I didn’t have to!!!
