this would have been one boring show…

I’m suprised and disappointed that the actors, directors, composers, writers, agents, etc. did not take it upon themselves to have their own dinner away from the press to view the “awards” and celebrate each other. After all, it is about their work.

SPOILER ALERT! Thanks for the warning! You know I have no impulse control, Gawd. You just totally ruined the Golden Globes (announcement) for me!

I’m shocked Juno didn’t get any awards. THat was my pick for Movie of the year. The acting and dialogue were great. Hopefully that won’t be an omen of it getting 0 Oscars.

Congrats to all the winners.
Hell, congrats to all the losers.
Special congrats to Jeff Zucker for airing a show that saved a lot of production costs and would have been right at home on the TV Guide channel a few decades ago.
Face it, Daniel Day Lewis wouldn’t have gone anyway.

that was horrible television! wow.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I just don’t care about the Golden Globes.
It’s really come to a head this year with the Strike. When my entertainment industry friends aren’t working at all, when I have lost 75% of my income, celebrating anything about the business just seems silly.
Never mind the fact that years ago I used to work these awards campaigns, and I know just how corrupt the process is, especially with the Golden Globes.

I am old enough to remember Pia Zadora’s award so I understand that the HFPA has very little credibility as an award; however, I think we should remember that it puts many mil into the local economy and that being too disdainful of this awards ceremony and others can be deemed disrespectful to many of our friends (local biz owners and the like).
Also, many of us seem to forget that the coasts are not the only places people live. Awards like the GG do add significantly to the knowledge of many moviegoers who don’t follow the biz day to day; having worked in theaters all over the country I can attest that the awards shows do pop the boxoffice.
Finally, I know all of us are sophisticated and use to seeing celebs on a daily basis but many fans look forward to seeing their faves in glamourous clothes and settings (and, of course, one can always hope Michael Caine gets to give an acceptance speech). While I realize there would be no films without writers, there would be no market for films without fans unless we are all just going to buy tickets to all the other writers’ films.

My review:
Best faux press conference since FEMA!
Comment by mheister — January 13, 2008 @ 6:06 pm
What a sorry press conference. I couldn’t keep my dinner down while all of those starstruck entertainment “reporters” were gushing about being there, and kissing the HFPA’s butt on camera to try and make them seem like a legitimate organization. It’s a pity the strikes aren’t affecting shows like ET, Insider and such. Those are the people who actually do need to be out of work.

Debbie Motonopolis is the most braindead “Hollywood is wonderful” kiss ass on Earth.
All she did was whine about how unfortunate this was for the overpaid stars. Several times, Larry King wouldn’t even respond to her. Literally dead silence and abrupt segues.
I’m no WGA shill (their “Speechless” and “Why We Write” campaigns are beyond pretentious), but Debbie was an absolute embarrassment for Hollywood.
