The Golden Globe nominees are…
December 15th, 2009 under Awards. [ Comments: 1 ]


Awards seasons is full swing with the nominations and today it was the Golden Globes turn at it. Once again The Weinstein Company rightfully dominated the awards with 12 noms for Inglourious Basterds, Nine and A Single Man, but Up In The Air had the most noms for a movie. I don’t get the George Clooney thing, I had to swear off his movies because to me they are unwatchable and extremely boring and are very small niche crowd…critics. On a positive note at least the movies are a little more mainstrean than years’ past. Although where is Star Trek on that list?
When it comes to TV, it is the opposite. I am happy that Glee sang its way to 4 noms and Modern Family was also represented! It was also nice to see David Duchovny, Courteney Cox and Neil Patrick Harris gets the noms, but where is Jim Parsons? And as much as I loved Thomas Jane in Hung, if you are going to be in a show based on the size of your penis and you are not going to show than I say you don’t deserve the nomination.
What do you think of the noms?
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globes will be hosted by Ricky Gervais on NBC on January 17th.

The Oscars won’t announce who’s presenting
January 15th, 2009 under Awards. [ Comments: none ]

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!!!
