So Sunday evening were the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards. Let me start off by saying a big improvement over the People's Choice Awards. Ricky Gervase (sp) hosted again this year, even though he offended nearly everyone last year. This year I found him much less offensive, mostly because he was on much less.
Best picture comedy went to The Artist a silent film. In principle I'd like to see it, but probably won't because a) My wife would never go for it, and b) I would probably be asleep in the first ten minutes. Best picture drama was Descendants starring Geprge Clooney, probably good, probably will never see it. Kind of sad the Hugo didn't win anything. No big surprises in the movie area.
One of the reasons the Globes are fun is that it is a dinner party, and alcohol is freely flowing. What this means is that towards the later half of the evening the "gracious loser face" is gone, replaced by the "How the hell did they win" face. This was evident particularly when Matt LeBlanc won for best actor in a TV comedy.
Oh well, over all a good show, can't wait for Oscars.
