Well, the big 0-0-7 is over and done with and studio execs are giving the awards season a kick-start. I was all set to experience some glorious Red Carpet action last night and lo! do my eyes deceive? for the scrumptilescent ball gowns and tuxedos I had expected to see were replaced by two of those ‘Access Hollywood’ and ‘Entertainment Tonight’ voices. ["And you'll never believe who was seen in this swanky film... Up next, the nominees for Best Supporting Actress!"]
The depth of my disappointment goes without saying. I knew I had to do something! So, to help you (and myself) to fill the void, I created an off-the-cuff “Best of” list that will give you a taste of the smiles, tears, and fellowship that we missed out on at the Golden Globes.
Best Film
JUNO I know it’s a predictable pick for the young, hip, enlightened blogger [like myself
], but it’s nonetheless one of the best films I’ve seen in a good while. Fab acting, even fab-er script, and a Fat Man-sized hit to Jason Reitman’s Arsenal of Awesomeness.
Best Album
IN RAINBOWS – Radiohead. It was a close race with Alicia Keys’s AS I AM, but in the end I had to pick the aural-gasm that is IN RAINBOWS. This album even beats out KID A, my previous fave from Thom Yorke & co. Plus, props for the cool way they distributed it.
Worst Thing To Happen on the Internet
FACEBOOK APPLICATIONS with the exception of Graffiti, my personal fave, no, I do not want to play Jetman or Speed Racer or get bitten by a vampire or pretend that I am a zombie. Seriously. Close Second: Google buying Youtube. Thanks a lot. Now they’re actually paying attention to those pesky copyright laws.
Best Film I Won’t See
SICKO The thing is, I’ve heard enough John Edwards speeches that it’s kind of moot.
BEST (Or Worst, Depending How You Look At It) BUSH QUOTE
‘”There are some similarities, of course (between Iraq and Vietnam). Death is terrible.” –Tipp City, Ohio, April 19, 2007′
He goes on to say, “So, y’all understand the similarities between the War on Terror and the Revolutionary War, too. We’re fightin’ for freedom.”*
Damn. That last one depressed me.
*I made that up. Funny how you believed he said it, though, isn’t it?
