Golden Globes

Kim Kardashian didn't win any Golden Globes last year. She already has some.

Hollywood insiders say that the Golden Globes have become a joke. Duh. As I understand it, they represent the media's opinion of the best of the best. It used to be the Globe winners would also win Academy Awards. This begs the question of why they ever existed.

If they were going to be a prognosticator of awards to come, what was the point? Just give the Oscars and call it a day.

Now, they don't even come close to predicting accurately anymore. Now it's just another ridiculous award show. We need more award shows, like Roseanne Barr needs singing lessons. They are worthless.

Let's see,  The Academy Awards,
The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, The Grammy Awards, The Golden Globe Awards, The Emmy Awards, The S.A.G. Awards, which my wife says should be for aging women, The Peoples's Choice Awards, Kid's Choice Awards (no joke), The American Music Awards... The list goes on and on. Ridiculous.

If you're known in show biz, and you don't win something, it's time to be put out to pasture. Hang it up. Wait, that won't work either. You're likely to get a lifetime achievement award.

Why so many? Idiots watch them. The shows make a lot of money. Here's how it breaks down algebraicaly. Huge tv audience = big $ advertising - very low production costs = huge profits. That's what Hollywood understands. Money.

I don't watch any of the shows. It's my way of protesting the exploitation of people who are so star struck, they just can't help themselves.

Anyone who has worked with some of these folks, realize they are just like you and me. Human beings, with all of the same foibles we all have. Money stress, the fear of getting older, losing their performance skills, etc.

Maybe we can do a blog award show! Red carpet, poperatzi, the whole shebang! I'll get started on it.

See you tomorrow.
