Golden Globe winners

While I wisely avoided the Golden Globe Press Conference (haha) last night, in order to go see Persepolis (fantastic); I thought it might be interesting to check out the winners. Straight from the HFPA to you, here are your 2008 Golden Globe winners!

My reaction honestly is one of surprise. I guess according to my own predictions I got 10/25 correct, which isn't horrible, but doesn't it seem like a lot of these winners are not the typical kind of shows and people who win these awards? I mean, 30 Rock I understand; but Mad Men? Damages? And I've never even heard of Longford. Maybe I'm just getting the Golden Globes mixed up with The Emmys... Anyhow, overall I'm pretty happy with these choices. It's great to see quality entertainment recognized as opposed to whatever cheap trick plays to the lowest common denominator. Good choices Hollywood Foreign Press.

It stings doesn't it...

Oh that's right Hollywood. Feel the burn. Because your precious Golden Globe Awards show has been CANCELED!!!

After negotiations between the HFPA and the WGA to find a common ground for the awards ceremony that would permit writers to work on the show fell through last week it became clear that there were serious problems afoot. But then when SAG president Alan Rosenberg urged union actors across LALAland to boycott the ceremony, and show their solidarity by not crossing picket lines we went into crisis mode.

And now as reported here it looks like NBC have crumbled under the weighty proposal of a starless telecast. And what pray tell do they have planned in place of the GG awards? What will be put up against FOX's premiere of The Sarah Connor Chronicles? Why a series of super exciting News Telecasts that will reveal the GG winners!!! Wow, the glamor is almost too much to take...

Here's the schedule:
-- At 7 PM, we will air a Dateline with clips and interviews with nominees. (Currently scheduled to air for two hours on Saturday night.)
-- At 8 PM, we are negotiating with Dick Clark Enterprises for a one-hour retrospective/clip show.
-- At 9 PM there will be a press conference covered by NBC News announcing the Golden Globe winners. (9pm-10pm)
-- At 10 PM, we will broadcast an "Access Hollywood" style, Golden Globes party show...visiting the various parties in Hollywood

Wow. When you talk about Hollywood magic I definitely think Brian Williams announcing the Golden Globe winner for best make up in a Lifetime movie...

I hope this makes the AMPTP wake up some, I mean Jesus Murphy, is this what I can expect from my Oscars too???

All this hot on the heels of official word that Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner's United Artists production company has struck a deal with the WGA along a similar lines to Letterman's Wold Wide Pants to become the second production company able to get back to work. And while it may effectively be only a temporary agreement before a larger reaching one is hammered out, it does absolutely nothing to strengthen the studios position.

This news just makes me more and more unhappy with the AMPTP. They need to get back to the table and cut a friggin' deal asap. If this strike bleeds into a SAG strike this summer we probably won't even remember what real television looks like by the time we get anything back.

Watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles premiere on 01/13.

Well that was interesting. Of the films Atonement won the most nominations with 7, followed by Charlie Wilson's War, and finally No Country for Old Men, which I'm rooting for. I really haven't seen very many of these films at all though.... As for the tv stuff, well I'm stoked that Damages, 30 Rock and Mad Men got some love, but what the heck is Longford?! I've never even heard of that before... hmmm, looks like a miniseries that I totally missed. Oh well. DFor more stats, check out the HFPA website. We'll see how it all plays out I guess. There's still a big question too as to whether the celebs will actually turn out for this event. With the writers strike going on, everything is a bit tense in Tinseltown, and there is a rumor out there that the awards shows will be boycotted. I personally doubt the stars will be able to resist collecting their spoils, but you never know in Hollywood.

The Golden Globes will air on Sunday January 13th.

So that's it. Most of my picks are just wild guesses, so who knows. Really it's not that I honestly think The Golden Globes are very important. In my mind they're trying to go too far. Not as good on TV as the Emmys, not as good on film as the Oscars. They're the mutant stepchild, the flipper-baby that you keep locked under the stairs... you know what I'm talking about, and don't pretend that you don't... Anyhow, they can be a good precursor for the Oscars though, and at the least its a bit of a shake out, the wheat from the chaff sort of thing. ok, my metaphors are a bit off today, so I'm going to stop now.

One last thing to remember, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association who vote on the Golden Globes is not a body with proper metrics for accountability. There are real concerns, as to their ultimate bias in deciding who wins or not. They are not in my estimation, even as reliable a voting group as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (which obviously has it's own problems, but are at least made up of industry peers), these guys are critics; arguably critics for hire. That said, they're decisions are probably no worse than that of you and your drinking buddies, and it's all in good fun. Just know what it is, before you put all your faith in them.

The Golden Globes will air on NBC on Jan 15th at 8pm EST.
