Look at the Globes!

     We're all concerned about the Oscars so much that most of us forgot about the awards that start the "major awards season" - the Golden Globes. No Ricky Gervais but - I think Tina and Amy are doing a fine job making a joke out of the most powerful people in Hollywood. It's always a nice evening for the celebs to get together blah, blah, blah... Until someone throws themselves at someone else's throat, or someone shows up naked, we care about the actual awards. 

     It's obviously different than the Oscars, not only because they are the awards No2, it's because weird people get awarded. Looooots of examples. I mean "Hangover" was fun but did it really deserve a Globe? Well never mind that they must've had a damn good reason, and i'm fine with that. 

     Films are divided into comedy/musical and drama which is absurd, having seen "Les Miserables" compete in the same category as "Silver Linings Playbook". 

    Without further comments let's just move on to the one and only Globes Predixxx.
