I really disagree with a lot of the winners. I don't think Glee or The Social Network should have won as many awards as they did. I also think Mila Kunis should have picked up Best Supp. Actress, though, given, I haven't seen The Fighter yet.

@Tear-Ruh: Don't worry. You didn't miss much. The only thing I thought was worth watching was Robert Downey Jr. when he was reading the nominees for Best Actress - Comedy or Musical. The nominees for the Oscars will be announced on the twenty-fifth of January and the ceremonies will be held on the twenty-seventh of February.

I don't agree with all of the Social Network wins. Especially screenplay. Why should an adaptation of a book win over something original and excellent like Inception? Hans Zimmer's soundtrack was also way better. Did the voters even listen to "Time"? It's amazing.

I haven't seen The Kids Are Alright, but the rest of the category was terrible, so that's reasonable. They seriously couldn't find anything better to nominate than The Tourist and ******** Burlesque?

Natalie Portman winning was obvious and it's cool that Paul Giomatti and Steve Buscemi won. They seem very underappreciated.

Christian Bale is probably just going to kill himself if he keeps losing and gaining muscle mass like that. I haven't seen The Fighter yet, but I figured he'd win. He looked like a crazy drunk Jesus.

I think Nolan was robbed for best director.


The Golden Globes are kind of a joke, though. They throw away any prestige they might have with just blatantly retarded stuff. I think.. people have been wrong when assuming Downey was annoyed with Gervais for his joke? I didn't really sense any malice in it.
