Let's talk Globes...

So tomorrow (Sunday) is the Golden Globes. Oooo, aaaah.

In the past I have liveblogged this event for friends, work, fashion, etc... I think it's time to revive that tradition. There's just something about the Globes that guarantees a good time. It isn't like the Oscars where people think they have to be serious, or the music awards where celebs tend to be more diva-ish. It might also have to do with the fact that A) someone nearly always ends up drunk, B) someone deserving generally always wins who is then snubbed come Oscar time, and C) the outfits are WAY more out there.

So check back in with Pass Fail Meter on Sunday for a rockin' good time, some laughs, some cocktails, and (hopefully) some award show surprises.

Oh, and Ricky Gervais has been asked back, which even he says is a crazy idea... because clearly he wasn't disgusting and offensive enough the first time. Who knows if we can expect him to mock Mel Gibson again... probably so considering Mel is on a promotional tour for his new movie "The Beaver." Yeah, no joke possibilities there........

It started with this at the 2010 Golden Globes:

Then this followed at the 2010 Emmys:

Amazing.

For this year's awards, the categories that are stockpiled with good nominations are motion picture drama and supporting actress. Those that are lacking include pretty much any of the motion picture comedy or musical categories... which is really disappointing because this is the one venue where film comedy gets some credit.
