my blog about the golden globes (for dennis)

i excitedly turned on the television on monday night to watch the golden globes, specifically because i wanted to watch brokeback mountain kick everyone's ass to the curb. what happened, though, is that at the very beginning they used that wretched song--"don't you wish you girlfriend was hot like me" or whatever it's called--as the theme song. and they showed all of these self-congratulating actors prancing down the red carpet while playing a reworked "don't you wish...," whose lyrics included things like "don't you wish your uma therman was hot like me?"

i started to think to myself, "oh my god, this is what people in america want to watch?" and then i watched the first couple awards and it was just this big festival of ass-kissing. "you're more talented, no you're a better actor, no your hair's blonder." and i wanted to scream, "YOU'RE ALL JUST MOVIE ACTORS!"

so i put in a DVD and ignored the golden globes. but i'm still happy that brokeback raked 'em in.
