the Golden Globes
 

anybody else watching them? I'm hoping for Big Fish in most of them, Charlize Theron for actress (in Monster), and other than that I'm not sure. Is Kill Bill up for anything?

I'm actually watching it now. Chiklis lost though so I'm kinda bummed for the rest of the show.

I doubt Kill Bill is up for anything. Who knows though.

i think awards shows are bullshit in nature. The only ones worth anything are the ones the fans decide.

I do hope the best for Tim and Big Fish tho.

I must concur. I think celebreties are bullshit. I kinda have a romantic soul for the medieval actors (only including women)...wondering troops...companies that made their own way.

I hate the way the awards shows always make a big deal about Jack Nicholson. He has been a cariacture of himself for twenty-five years.

They just showed him giving the award for best actress. Was he drunk, or what?

Charlize Theron won, all is right with the world

Not a big fan of awards shows, mostly because I think it is a bunch of snobs who pick the nominations and winners, and a lot has to do with Hollywood politics. I think being an actor can take its toll on a persons psyche, does Jack Nicholson really know who he is or is he just one of his characters that he has played over the years. I love Sean Connery as an actor, but on the bonus material in League of Extr. Gentleman he said he turned down a role in Lord of the Rings because he did not understand the script or the story, big mistake for him IMO. He also said he didnt understand LoEG but he took the part anyway because he didnt want to miss an oppurtunity. Kind of deflated my opinion of him.

of course it's political, but if there's a movie you like that gets nominated it's fun to watch and see if it wins

Sam I agree that it is nice to see a film I enjoy getting an award, but many films are not recognized for the what they are and some are recognized for what they are not. I guess its all a matter of opinion.

there's always a couple movies I'll watch and be pulling for. Sometimes a movie that is up for best picture is something I really thought was the best movie that year, or for a performance. Last year, I thought Gangs of New York was far and away the best movie of the year. This year the only thing I feel that strongly about is Charlize Theron in Monster.
