Scribbles

I don't recall if I caught the Golden Globes last year, but this year was a big year for me in Television. I started watching a bazillion new shows and had a great desire to watch them battle each other to the death.


The only opinion that matters in this blog is mine, so here are my triumphs and upsets:

UPSET: Red carpet!!! I was stuck watching the "Extra" coverage and I despised every minute. They were pushy, rude, unorganized... Why pull Robert Downey Jr. over in the middle of Samuel L Jackson's interview and then practically insult them. Is Penelope Cruz not interesting enough that you need to call over Harvey Weinstein (really?) and then to add insult to injury, pull over Eli Roth?!

TRIUMPH: Dexter takes 2 wins- Supporting Actor for John Lithgow and Best Actor for Michael C. Hall- both unbelievably deserving. Great speeches by both as well. Seeing John Lithgow tear up at Michael's speech was a touching moment for me.

UPSET: Julianna Margulies for Best Actress in a drama series. I am a fan of the good wife. I enjoy the show. But honestly, what does she bring to her role? It's one tone- no emotion- nothing behind her eyes... I would much rather have seen the award go to Glenn Close or Anna Paquin.

TRIUMPH: GLEE! I love Glee. I think it was definitely the most deserving in the musical/comedy category.

UPSET: Alec Baldwin for best actor-comedy. Come on! Again? what is that? 3 years in a row? I love Alec Baldwin but I think the praise for this show has run it's course. It should have gone to Steve Carell.

TRIUMPH: Meryl Streep. I dont even need a reason.

UPSET: Robert Downey Jr. I think he's great, and he gave a very entertaining speech, but anyone else in that category should have won....ANYONE.

TRIUMPH: Martin Scorsese's tribute and speech.

UPSET: Up in the Air for Best Screenplay. I really feel that the opening sequence of Inglorious Basterds on it's own deserved the win. The beginning of that film was the best thing I have seen in 2009/10.

TRIUMPH: Ricky Gervais was a pretty entertaining host.

BIGGEST UPSET: The Hangover. Not only was it the most upsetting win for me, but it was also the most disappointing film I saw last year. Even they looked confused as to why they were standing up there. I would have liked it to go to 500 Days of Summer.

Anyway, I was pretty busy last week so I will have to make up for a few missing posts.

Maybe tomorrow though. I'm pretty tired right now.
