The Social Network took the best picture award tonight at the Golden Globe Awards. I had heard but have not seen The King's Speech which did earn an actor, Colin Firth, his Globe award, for portraying the King of England having to undergo speech therapy.
Social Network turns out to be a movie about FACEBOOK of all things. I was shocked at the number of awards that it received, having never heard a darn thing about it.
A comment at yahoo said that they had walked out of it halfway through as it was so awful. So I wonder what it is about. I will post a trailer here if I find one.
The elaborate gowns, the usual Hollywood nominate them and never let them win anything proved to be a constant also as the same old repeats won again and again, and everyone there seemed to be surprised and happy for some and probably a bit sour grapes on others. I mean really, when a newcome young kid wins and an old timer who has been around many times always to be beaten out, it becomes a bit strange to wonder what kind of game is this going on?
Remember, some actors who were considered great never won an oscar at all but were nominated repeatedly. For awhile, it was the Susan Lucci bad joke of the Emmy's, but we see it again at awards time in Hollywood.
In other words, why didn't Johnny Depp win a globe award? Up for two movies and no globe award...oh well, such is the Foreign Press.
I guess I will post a trailer for The Tourist too and maybe even Alice In Wonderland.
