The people they got have spent the last five years nitpicking and talking about speculation and who they thought would win and who didn't. They were terrible hosts. They say "Well, the Golden Globe goes to Bob Smith. That's funny, everybody thought Steve Jones was a shoo-in, I'm surprised he didn't win, his movie was great..." Um, who cares? The time for those speculation is on the gossip shows after the awards are given out, not during the awards themselves. I hated the Golden Globes telecast.

While I'm sure there will be a post about the winners on MB on Monday...sometime...I will confess to watching fifteen minutes in. It was "alright" at first, but I soon lost intrest. But y'know something? There was ONE moment in those fifteen minutes which I wished the Int'l friends could have heard. If Gio heard it, I hope he chimes in as well. When France's Marion Cotillard won for best actress in a musical or comedy for her remarkable personification of singer Edith Piaf in <em>La Vie En Rose</em> the guy from Access Hollywood (Billy Bush) mentioned (in jest) that <em> Rose</em> was neither <strong>a musical or a comedy</strong> but was <strong> "a bio-pic with music in it"</em>. In other words, an actress who gave a musical or comedy performance lost out to an actress in a dramatic role. Come to think of it, that's when I stopped watching. At least someone indirectly -or unwittingly- pointed out the Golden Globes own bullshit. Well, NBC did carry it.

Will this development spur further negotiations between both sides or are the Oscars fucked? I want to see that show moreso than the Golden Globes.

This whole situation is one of the biggest clusterfucks I've ever witnessed. If they dick over the Oscars, I will be pissed beyond words. Yeah, the show is way too long and a bit pretentious, but as a film fan(and a fashionista), it's my Super Bowl Sunday. Re
