globe recap.

(when bad dresses happen to mediocre actresses)


ok, so i never said i was going to predict the winners of the golden globes - my picks were just who i wanted to win - it's not my fault if the hollywood forign press got it so wrong so often.
  • best picture – drama-the departed. damn if i didn't get this one wrong; i've heard it's good, i just can't get into brad pitt lately.
  • best picture – musical or comedy-little miss sunshine. dreamgrils won. i hate dreamgirls. well, more coorectly, i hate beyonce. i refuse to support any film with beyonce in it (even if i do love jennifer hudson)
  • animated film-cars. yes! i got it. there was really no chance that this wasn't going to win.
  • lead actor – drama-leonardo dicaprio in the departed. i'm really not a fan of leo's either, but was duly impressed with his performance in the departed - shame he didn't win, but i've heard forest was great in the last king of scotland.
  • lead actor – musical or comdey-chiwetel ejiofor in kinky boots (should win; sacha baron cohen in borat will win). yup, sacha won! no surprise. i still like chiwetel better, but i'm claiming this in my win column.
  • lead actress – drama-helen mirren – the queen. helen mirren is the fuckin' shit - so deserved.
  • lead actress – comedy or musical-meryl streep – the devil wears prada. again, brilliant and no question really. and meryl's speech was awesome.
  • actor in a supporting role- ben affleck in hollywoodland. ugg eddie murphy. ugg dreamgirls. blech.
  • actress in a supporting role- emily blunt in the devil wears prada. jennifer hudson. jennifer rocks. dreamgirls sucks.
  • director- martin scorsese for the departed. yes! it's fuckin' about time marty got props. the departed was most excellent.
  • tv series – musical or comedy- ugly betty (would be happy with entourage as well). yes yes yes yes!!!! so fuckin' deserved.... ugly betty is the best show on tv right now.
  • actor in a leading role – drama- patrick dempsey in grey’s anatomy (he’s dreamy you know). that dude from house got it - fuckin' great speech. never seen the show.
  • actor in a leading role – musical or comedy- jason lee in my name is earl. alec baldwin eh? he ain't horrid.
  • actress in a leading role – drama- ellen pompeo – grey’s anatomy. no comment really, never seen the closer... kyra's always solid.
  • actress in a leading role – comedy or musical- america ferrera – ugly betty. again - this is fuckin' perfect. america is sublime. way to go

------

unreleated; so i went back to work today... only made it about half the day... i was so fuckin' tired, had to come home and take a nap. i'm still on crutches (i totally figured i'd be off them by now, it's been 8 days).

tomorrow is another half day work wise - i have the follow up post-op dr appointment.

wish me well.

Unrelated comment: I was pretty damn sure you were following me in a green pickup truck on my way to work today.

You have a twin. In FL. Married from the look of it. Just an FYI.
