* Again... what is Last Chance Harvey? I liked both Hall (though Johansson was better and it's annoying that everyone in her film got nominated except her) and McDormand, and despised Streep. Please, Globes, don't give her an award in this category just because she's Meryl Streep...

Kate Winslet, The Reader
* I don't quite get all the hype about Penelope in VCB, I mean she was really good but not like "OMG INSTANTLY HAND HER THE OSCAR RIGHT NOW NO SRSLY" good. And JESUS!
Other assorted notes:
- LOL, Best Song is Bruce Springsteen vs. Miley.
- awww, True Blood got nominated for Best Television Series, Drama. My best friend and his suite gather 'round every Sunday night to watch it. It's kind of adorable. What I've seen is unfortunately really bad.
- THANK YOU for getting some sense back, Globes, and nominating The Office anew.
Et voila.
