Comments on Golden Globes Canceled
I saw that coming the second Katherine Heigl announced she wouldn't be coming...
Shame..
I hadn't realized they still held the Golden Globe awards at all.
And the world continued to turn...
Oh god, no! Wait what are the Golden Globes again?
I keep waiting for someone to write a script about the writers' strike. But then again, even if they did, no-one could produce it because of the writers' strike....
Awww, too bad. They really meant so much to me.
I am sure some of the scabs would write something for the show.
BTW, Golden Globes are used by many to make Oscar predictions.
Makes sense. Without writers to provide scripted banter, the ceremony could easily become a tedious forced march, with viewers forced to endure an hours-long litany of Hollywood self-congratulation punctuated by the hapless presenters' feeble attempts at topical humor.
And who really cares?
i have never watched the golden globes in my life.
but if they revamped it as a completely adlibbed catastrophe, with resplendent Stars inanely babbling and fidgeting and making humane asses of themselves? i totally would.
pity the missed opportunity...
First, you guys temp me with stories about suicide. Now, you post this and leave me no other choice. I gotta find a rope.
It's not so much about not having writers but that the stars won't show up since SAG supports the WGA's strike. Does Miss Golden Globe Rumer Willis get to host the press conference?
Probably. The talent can show up for the news conference, as it was only the TV broadcast that was being struck, not the awards themselves.
Well they haven't been the same since Pamela Anderson had reduction surgery, really...
Oh, sorry. Wrong golden globes....
OH NO!
Where will I go?!? What will I do?!?
Good riddance. They're worthless.
I think @5 said it best. Nobody really watches those, except during commercials when they're bored and flip thru channels.
Where's Fnarf and his bleedhole?
the only awards show worth watching, if only because everyone in attendance is clearly loaded.
how i long for the glory of boozy television, in the manner of match game pm, the gong show, and even late night with carson.
and, live television? fucking forget about it. the potential for things to go sideways is so deliciously great.
Sucks to be a Golden Globe nominee/winner this year.
Okay, I'm a bit culture lacking.
You've got the Grammy Awards, which is for Music.
You've got the Emmy awards, which is for TV
You've got the Academy Awards for movies.
You've got the MTV Movie Awards; the premier movie award of our time.
What are the Golden Globe awards? The only thing I can think is that it is somehow related to the Golden Girls. Am I close?
@22 - Roughly 86 Hollywood foreign press correspondents who wield enormous power given that their choices are precursors for Oscar nominees and winners.
As an example, there are seven nominees for Best Motion Picture Drama this year; usually, there are only five (like the Oscars); this means there had to be several ties and that no one film nominee could have received many more than 15 votes.
But for award show junkies, the Globes are much more light-hearted and inebriated and the intimate setting in Merv Griffin's Beverly Hills ballroom provides celebrity coziness and faux sincerity.
However, the physical award itself is uglier than sin and looks like a stone dildo.
"Good riddance!" So harsh. The Golden Globes are not going away; they're simply revealing the winners without pomp, circumstance or the movers and shakers who once a year celebrate themselves for making movies most of us watch. Sounds like someone doesn't like Christmas.
I love the Golden Globes show. It's the only one of the major awards shows where the nominees sit at their tables and drink for hours before their names are called. They'll say ANYTHING once they get onstage, because they're totally hammered by then. It's fabulous.
As a member of the film makers union, I couldnt really give a rats ass. However, I'm still pissed I'm out of a job until someone gives them their fucking money.
