TV Reivew: 67th Golden Globes

Last nights Golden Globes gave an awards show that was teetering on becoming a joke a well-needed boost.

Although the Supporting Actors were obvious wins, the Best Actor- Musical or Comedy was a surprise to say the least. Robert Downy Jr. got one for Sherlock Holmes. He not only had the best speech of the night (I DON'T want to thank Joel Sivler for saving my career 16 times...). However, the biggest surprise was the Best Picture winners. The fact that Th eHangover won was a jaw-dropper in the Best Musical or Comedy, but the Best Drama going to Avatar was totally unexpected. That film (Which I saw for the 3rd time yesterday in IMAX) deserved it, though.

Ricky Gervais also managed to be hillarious the entire night, turning the night into one hillarious escapade. His joke at Steve Carrel was by far the best one of the night. Like Ricky, the Globes were a little different but still showed they had great stuff still there.

The Hangover of Sales

The years biggest comedy is the 1# DVD in America for 2 weeks in a row. Now that's something! And to think, like The Blind Side, we thought the film woud bomb!

Editorial: Traveling The Globe

I have been asked recently what I think of the Golden Globe nominations that have come out and gotten some bad press. I somewhat agree with the negativity though. Why?

Well, for starters, whoever thought Julia Roberts in Duplicity was worthy of some kind of award was crazy. I'm just glad Jamie Preesly didn't get a nod for Confessions of a Shopaholic! The nods in Best Comedy/Musical reallt stretch good taste. I highly doubt the Oscars are going to give (500) Days of Summer, The Hangover and It's Complicated Best Picture noms. Those slots will be replaced with the notable absent Invictus, Up & A Serious Man.

The male acting nods were much better. Matt Dammon actually deserved both of his noms & Robert Downy Jr. probably needed a nom for Sherlock Holmes. I'm surprised Sigourney Weaver dosen't get a Suporting Actress nom for Avatar, but maybe the Academy will scoop her up.

My bottom line is that these noms are ok, but defenitly not the REAL best ones. There are some awards coming around this blog, so maybe you can see who is really the best of the year!! I'll tune in to the Globes though. After all, Ricky will probably put on a show.
