I was hugely dissapointed with the Golden Globes in terms of who they decided to honour -apart from the legend that is Jeff Bridges-but, in terms of Ricky Gervais' performance I was amazed to see that he didn't tone down his act at all, to the dismay of many in the audience but to my sheer and utter delight. He strikes me as a guy who has decided to stay true to himself and not give a shite about the repercussions.

Gervais was immense, loved that Mel Gibson line haha.
In terms of the winners, Avatar should definitely have not won the best picture -Drama, shocking decision. Up in the air, The Hurt Locker were much more worthy winners. But as its the Hollywood Foreign Press, they tend to lean towards the more mainstream movies and its success, which is what Avatar is. I expect to see it nominated for Best Picutre at the Oscars especially with 10 movies up for the award this time, but the academy may have more sense and give it to a more worthy movie. |

I saw him, yeah. Usually they can hide their anger but it was totally understandable that he felt like that. I would too after making such an excellent, individual and non-generic flick. Have you seen it?

Yeah I have, enjoyed it a lot. A lot of people said George Clooney's performance saved it from being totally forgettable but I thought the story was excellent, and the supporting cast were good too. A very good film indeed.

Better than Avatar anyway, that's for sure. I was surprised it was even nominated for best film.

I also agree about the director too. Cameron certainly hit the jackpot this year. |

I'm not normally a fan of Gervais but he was pretty funny. He did a good job; it could have been an absolute disaster.
As for the awards, I for one am glad the committee didn't take the high brow approach this thread has taken so far ( ![]() ![]() Last edited by IheartBB; 19-01-2010 at 11:58 PM. Reason: typo |

And the latter part of your post is complete subjectivity that many (including the Golden Globe committee) disagree with. |

The Golden Globe committee is comprised of a select group of foreign journalists who have obviously sold out big time baby.

It wasn't intended to have any effect on you: it's just a statement of fact. Too much money involved with Avatar to honour any smaller, more deserving winner.
