Golden Globes Award show…stuff I didn’t miss.
I don’t care what the pundits think, last night’s Golden Globes Award show was awesome.
In 30 minutes I was able to see everything I cared about without the annoying falderal.
No announcer saying “This is the 4th time Gina Gershon has been nominated. Her last nomination was in 2001 when she played a duck in ‘Duck, Duck, Die!’…”
There was no 4 shot of the people up for the awards showing their fake tension.
No one was talking about “who they are wearing”, no stilted tries at humor between presenters prior to slowly announcing the nominees.
No pretending to have a hard time with the envelope.
I didn’t have to hear who the accountant was and then have them all come out on stage and look like deer about to be run over by a Hummer.
There were no speeches giving political points of view from vapid rich people who have little connection to the real world.
No dance number.
No shots of Jack Nicholson with his sunglasses on inside to hide the fact he just smoked a monsterous joint.
I did not have to listen to Whoopi or Ellen or whoever thought they’d be funny get up there for 15 minutes prior to doing any awarding.
No one had to introduce people who then introduced awards.
I didn’t have to watch people rush through their speeches to thank their lawyer and dermatologist at the end because the music was coming up to get them offstage.
All in all, I wish all award shows would follow this format.
