Am I the only person that is annoyed by the self-congratulatory orgies of the Hollywood types? Ask me how much I care how much Angelina Jolie’s dress cost? Ask me. I dare you.
Seriously. I love movies. But these people need to have 2 or 3 nights EVERY YEAR wherein they congratulate each other for doing their jobs? Jobs which, mind you, consist of pretending to do the everyday things the rest of us do day in and day out 365 with no awards ceremonies and no twenty thousand dollar gift bags.
I couldn’t care less about the Golden Globe awards. I’m insulted that they think I care.
I’d rather watch “School of Rock.”
I'm Taylor. This is my classroom. There used to be a "real" teacher behind this blog, but she nagged me all the time about not saying this and not saying that. ~all she ever did was type anyway, since my fingers are stuck together~ So I've taken over.
Yes, I'm an imitation Barbie knock-off doll. What of it? Barbie's got nothing on me! Let me take you to school.
As disgusted as you may be, I thought it was really awesome that Heath Ledger won the Golden Globe for The Dark Knight. They’re going to give it to his little girl, Matilda.

I agree. That is pretty cool. *sigh* Heath Ledger. That still makes me sad. If they’re going to have these stupid awards (SAG awards are coming up soon, too) at least they ought to honor Heath.
Taylor’s last blog post..In Re: Golden Globe Awards
Yea Heath Ledger really deserved that award. After all he did much better then that OTHER joker back then who had the cartoon look. He only scared me cause of what he looked like. Heath showed the real, crazy, strange joker who just wanted to have fun with the bat. Oh, and he got the laugh right. Only two times I heard it though.
Me too. School of Rock hands down. Any day.
To be fair, the Oscars are the only awards Hollywood puts on for itself. Well, there’s the SAG awards too, but they aren’t televised, I guess. The Hollywood Foreign Press Assoc. gives out the Golden Globes.
The Oscars, though … they’re really just an industry trade awards show, only a trade full of people with massive egos. Watch the long tributes to Lifetime Achievement Award winners or Tributes to Sound People or whatever. Then imagine the same sort of show put on by, oh, the National Onion Grower’s Association for itself. “He invented a genetically modified onion, better for frying, and onion rings were never the same,” followed by a ridiculously long montage and testimonials, and a speech by Mr. Genetically Modified Onion Ring Onion himself, in which he gets all nostalgic for the glory days.
Nice, hugely interesting blog. Must cite it, direct my hundreds of, nay, eight readers to it later.
