Just off the top of my head with cheating and looking at IMDB. Point is a lot of people do this for a living and
need their paycheck. Just as well have the MOVIE UNION
and have everyone go to strike at the same time, since that is how the unions want it. Stupid.

Well, that’s sad. I always watch both the Golden Globes and the Oscars and the GG are always entertaining. I think it may have to do with the copious amounts of alcohol the stars imbibe during the show.

This doesn’t bode too well for the Academy Awards. Hopefully ABC has a different deal than the one NBC had with the Golden Globes.

At least the Critics Choice Awards were on recently. That was sort of entertaining and good enough to fill the void of the Golden Globes.

This shit is beyond ridiculous.

Will the Oscars be cancelled? That’s what people should be looking out for. Nobody really gives two shits about the GGs, truth be told. How many times do you see “Golden Globe nominee so-and-so!” in trailers?

Important that they give out the rewards?! Rubbish! It’s important that they be given out for the Golden Globes to hold on to any shred of integrity and value they may or may not have, and not to reveal that they are purely the hollow entertainment that they are. But it is far from important that the writers and actors to receive these awards. Awards are merely a perk, a bonus, a bit of fun, especially the golden globes. Any actor or writer or whomever that feels otherwise is unfortunate.
