I say, The Golden Globes don't amount to a hill of beans. They do however, give me more reasons not to go to the cineplex. That award ceremony is like a keg party at a fraternity house. On it, you get to see your favorite stars stumble their way down the aisle with drink in hand, and get up on stage to ramble on for a few minutes about nothing. Most of the people in attendence look like they slept in their clothes and the only reason they got up in the first place, was the cleaning lady kept trying to get into their hotel room! Some folks that should have been there didn't show up. Others showed up but had no reason to be there. Johnny Depp for instance, hopped his private jet from his home in Paris to be at the award show. I think someone tricked him into believing that "Willy Wonka" was up for a bunch of awards. He obviously didn't care how he looked...heck, everyone should be grateful he was there to fill an extra seat. While Harrison Ford shielded his face from the flashing light bulbs, others did all they could to make sure they got noticed. So what if Abe Vigoda (Barney Miller) and Dick Van Patten (Eight is enough) haven't done anything for 25-30 years? They sometimes appear on Conan O' Brien in a sketch, but so does Triumph the Insult Comic Dog...I didn't see him there! Abe and Dick's telephone rang on Monday afternoon and they too were selected to fill some empty seats. So, this movie Brokeback Mountain was the big winner last night. What kind of people go to the movies to see a couple of gay cowboys roll around in the hay? I'm afraid to say it, but I'm betting that film IS going to be the big Academy Award winner. I will not be seeing the film. If I want gay cowboys, I'll put on my "Best of The Village People" CD. The other big winner was "Desperate Housewives". I still haven't seen the show. As far as I'm concerned, Sunday is the night to get caught up clipping coupons out of Sunday's paper! Anyway, I'm sure most of the people that show up at the awards for no reason at all, are doing so because their publicity people told them it would be a smart idea. Now that the cleanup has begun in L.A. after all the post award show parties, today is also garbage day in Beverly Hills. I wonder how many of those worthless awards are at the bottom of the recycling bins of yesterday's winners?! THAT'S the way I see it today! -------- Squealing Pig WORLDWIDE!: The stars came out to shine at the 2006 Golden Globes!

The stars came out to shine at the 2006 Golden Globes!

The 2006 Golden Globe Awards is officially "in the books". They say the winners on that show will predict who will win The Oscars. I say, The Golden Globes don't amount to a hill of beans. They do however, give me more reasons not to go to the cineplex. That award ceremony is like a keg party at a fraternity house.
