What a yawn, looks like we are in for another dull Awards season where most of the names have already been there and don’t necessarily deserve the nom but got it because originality means nothing to these stuffed up Awards shows. That is why I decided to showcase John C Reilly! Way to go Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story!
When it comes to TV, can they have any more Oscar noms nominated? So here’s to hoping for wins for William Shatner, Hugh Laurie, Christina Applegate, The Tudors and Californication.
