Golden Globes

As far as the 'major' award shows go, the Golden Globes are the second most pointless in a sea of pointlessness. As everyone knows, the only thing worse is the American Music Awards and anything that involves the word 'Choice' in the title. Madonna won a Golden Globe for Evita. Whats that tell you about all this?

Basically every film nominated hasn't been released yet which makes no sense, to me anyway. Even when the awards are handed out January 11th, I don't think most people will have seen all the Christmas releases. You'll want to save some of them so you have a better option than Bride Wars come the end of January.

The best nominations are the musical ones though. You have Miley Cyrus' song from Bolt, and Beyonce's song from Cadillac Records, among other, most likely more deserving choices. And as we all know, Beyonce will win, she'll dedicate her award to Obama.

In the category most relevant to my interests, your best TV comedy choices would be 30 Rock, Californication, Entourage, The Office and Weeds. 3 out of 5 haven't been seen by 66% of the country because they don't have premium cable. So one of those will probably win, my early guess would be Californication. Obviously I'll be pulling for 30 Rock because awards/loyalty to Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels are keeping it on the air at the moment because its got shit ratings. NBC fired most of its programming staff earlier this week, so there might be some kind of shake up. Who knows?

But the most important thing with these awards is that you don't watch, it will only embolden them and make them keep handing out these pointless statues. Its the Emmys and Oscars only for me, thank you. And even then I don't really watch, I just sort of yell afterwards...
