golden globes (musings on pamela anderson)

psych! this post is about the golden globes not inflated with silicone. that's right, the awards given each year at the beverly hilton with a hefty side of grain alcohol, from the looks of things on tv.

anyhoo, the independents really have taken over this year. i think the only studio film nominated for best picture (drama) is 'the departed' - and i believe the hollywood foreign press members' sanity departed them when they nominated it in this category. great popcorn flick, and i love martin scorcese, but this ain't no thing but a chicken wing, know what i'm sayin'?

i'm gonna do a 10 best list before the year is out (or at least before the oscars), but dang--i've hardly seen any of the nominated movies! however, i have seen 'notes on a scandal' starring nominated judi dench and her golden globes (though on much better disply in 'casino royale' than in this movie). alert readers will think, 'how in the world have you seen judi dench in 'notes on a scandal' given that it hasn't even been released?'...and i would tell you, 'i have my ways, and the less known about it, the better, but it involves linguini, a wrench, an alpaca, and two q-tips.'
