Oh it's the most wonderful time of year. You know what I mean, don't you? That time of year where you pack the family together into the car, make the long journey off to the relatives where you put on your wool sweaters, sip some hot cocoa, sing some carols in front of the fire while reminiscing about the good ole days and opening presents and remembering the simple pleasures of just being together and the joy that can come from just that.
Actually, we're in fact referring to that magical time of year where Hollywood's egotistical fascination with itself reaches its maximum capacity otherwise known as awards season as the Hollywood Foreign Press announced nominations for the Golden Globes. Oh the Golden Globes, how we enjoy you probably the most of the upcoming awards since you're basically like a real high budget version of all of those school award dinners we had to go to in high school as the stars sit at their tables with their cast members, half of whom they probably can't stand and the other half they probably had long forgotten about affairs with, while awards for both film and television are given out while we find out that the popularity contest of life continues even in death as, like every awards program, the sound is tactlessly left on as people applaud with varying degrees of enthusiasm/respect for dead folks.
Notoriously WTF in its nominations every year, the Golden Globes continues to prove to be a reliable source of head shaking as we scrolled through the list of nominees that somehow found Jennifer Love Hewitt of both "Party of Five" and "vajazzling" fame up for a Golden Globe for her Lifetime film "The Client List" while people like "Parks and Recreation" Amy Poehler were snubbed while the supporting acting categories for television remain one of the biggest hot messes known to award shows as the HFP delightfully thrown in everybody from comedy, drama and TV films all into one category because that totally makes sense. Maybe? Who knows? We're just here for the bad styling choices, the boozed-up celebrities and the too-slow-to-get-to-the-beeper f-bombs that seem to always populate the program.
So if you were thinking about going anywhere before reading this all we can say is:
and enjoy!
