Golden Globe Categories They Don't Want You to See
 

The official Golden Globe nominations were held last Thursday. You know what that means: award season is upon us. Yay?

If you're starring in one of the movies nominated: fun! For the rest of us, as their recent ratings can attest, the Golden Globes and Oscars are just another snoozefest of self-congratulatory Hollywood crap. Every few years there might an upset, in which someone like Diablo Cody struts off with an award, but usually the awards shows highlight only "serious" thespians who practically scream "ACTING!" in every film (Philip Seymor Hoffman, I'm looking at you).

At least during the Golden Globes, which award both dramatic and comedic performances, there is a little leeway for goofiness. Still, it isn't enough. Who says that musicals have to get lumped in with comedy? Didn't anyone see Les Mis? Shit is sad.

If it was up to us, the Golden Globes would fracture their categories even further, until the real heroes of 2008 got recognized. Sure, the addition of our special awards would drag the ceremony out another 2 hours, but that's just more time for Sean Young to get wasted and start screaming at Julian Schnabel again.

Oh, I want with every fiber of my being to disagree with you about Jim and Pam, but I just can't. Sigh. Plus, megadittos for digging up that picture from "The Critic"!

Just a few years ago I looked forward to the awards to find out what movies or shows I should seek out. Now it appears the awards are given to the most politically correct stars or shows. I no longer watch or pay attention to your "AWARDS"
