Thoughts on the Golden Globes:
They have always been more loose and wild than any other awards shows, what with all the weird stuff happening last year, but they seem to be a bit more self-consciously wacky this year. "Ooh, look at us! Anything could happen! Anyone might be in the bathroom! Anyone might force their award on a confused old man with bad eye surgery! Wacka wacka wacka!!"
This will be funny to watch, since I have literally no idea at all of who has been nominated!
Well, the first ten minutes looked like a badly dubbed Japanese movie, what with the sound being out of synch and all.
If Jenna Elfman doesn't start wearing foundation garments soon, her tits will be banging against her knees.
Do you think Michael J. Fox would have won if he hadn't come out with Parkinsons? Although I really did expect Chris Reeve to win the cripple award.
Were I Faye Dunaway, I would have gone out right after the awards and found whomever it was who suggested that they play "Young at Heart" as she went up to get her award, and beat them silly. What an insulting song.
Yay Shakespeare in Love Best Screenplay!
I wonder what is considered to be a tie? Is it actually exactly the same amount of votes, or within ten, or within fifty? Considering the amount of ties they had last night, I think that the Golden Globes considers a tie to be within 2000 votes.
It really seems that when they set up the room for the Golden Globes and work out the seating arrangements they forget that anyone is going to have to get up to the stage! I mean, every year, man! Hours of watching people snake their way around tables--it's like watching the line for Rocket Rods at Disneyland!
Well, now we all know why Philip Glass writes atonal, repetitive music! His music sounds exactly like his speaking voice!
Melanie Griffith has had her some major facial surgery. Does she really think that no-one will notice?
Are Marayah Carey and Whitney Houston holding hands in that Prince of Egypt video to stop themselves from scratching each other's eyes out? I mean, I know that we're supposed to think that they're all pally, but Lord, nobody believes that lie! Look at those hard eyes! Look at those frozen smiles! They loathe each other!
Somebody should tell Gwynneth Paltrow's brother that, when at a formal event, one does not chew half a pack of gum, especially if one's sister wins an award and one gets on TV several times looking like a Holstein!
When they nominate somebody like Antonio Banderas as Best Actor for The Mask of Zorro, then you know that they were scrambling to fill those ten slots!
Yay Michael Caine Best Actor for Little Voice!!
Dick Clark: "Backstage in the press room there's normally alot of noise, but you could hear a pin drop during Jack Nicholson's speech!" Presumably because everyone was sound asleep. Clearly, no-one has told that man to shut the hell up for the past thirty years.
Hooray Shakespeare in Love Best Picture Comedy!!!!
I love Peter Fonda, especially after Ulee's Gold, my favourite film of last year, but what did he think he was, an emcee on a cruise ship?
And, heard on the teaser for the channel 4 news: "The unbelievable hidden medical benefits of lettuce, details at 11!"
Today's horoscope:
Getting some exercise is a good idea today. Keeping active supports your spirit and builds energy.
One year ago today:
"Hooray! Kymm's here! Hooray, hooray!!"
