2008 Glitz-less Golden Globes


Last night's glitz-less Golden Globes news-press announcement format was the equivalent of a deflated balloon. For Johnny Depp to finally be recognized for his outstanding acting and then NOT be able to watch him accept his Golden Globe, is more than this Johnny Depp fanatic could stand.

So I boycotted the non-cerimonial Golden Globes along with all the actors and writers.

However, I was estactic to learn that some of my favorite actors were recognized along with Johnny Depp. Cate Blanchett won for her portrayal of Bob Dylan, Daniel Day Lewis won for There Will be Blood. (Johnny Depp will have to compete against Daniel Day Lewis for the Oscar! Yikes!) And Queen Latifah won for Life Support. David Duchovny won for Californication (my newest favorite TV show!) and Jeremy Piven won for Entourage (my favorite boys on TV!).

Atonement and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street won best picture for drama and musical/comedy, and Ratatouille (which I loved!) won best animated film. I LOVE Sweeney Todd and I'm dying to see Atonement, I hope it plays in Bakersfield.
