It'd be great craic!

And here all these years I thought the Golden Globes were a euphamism for the best fake tits in town!

Tim: The Golden Globes are film awards by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They follow the same format (best picture, best actor …) and they're widely seen as a close indication of how the Oscars will be awarded. This year, they were cancelled due to the writers' strike, and it looks as though the Oscars might be cancelled for the same reason.

Eliza: Drunken blogcasting. Now there's a thought …

You know, y'all should really blogcast the awards. That way we poor, stateside clods have something to look at as well!

I haven't decided on the lucky companion yet. Maybe I'll hold a competition.

Oh dear, no Oscars? Now I'll miss watching it on the TV I haven't had in over 10 years anyway. This is messing with my mind (such as it is). I guess the only thing to do now is miss watching one of those therapy shows that's broadcast on the TV that I haven't had in over 10 years anyway.

Funny, and here I always thought "Golden Globes" referred to those two things almost not hidden away underneath those horridly expensive low cut evening gowns.

I agree that its a good thing that these back patting charades are to be cancelled for the year ,but..there are casualties..
America has produce some fine tv shows over the last few years and these islands in a sea of banality will be the victims of the strike..

Curb Your Enthusiasm,Family Guy,South Park

i am only glad that the 5th and final season of THe Wire was completed in time becuase it is hands down the finest tv show of the last 10 years (also criminally ignored both in the states and here where it was fucked to the 11.30 on a monday night slot on TG4 for some reason)

THe good may outweigh the bad on this but you cannot say that everything produced by hollywood is shite because it simply isnt true
