Fart.

Good.

I don't want to watch people living in neverneverland pat themselves on the back anyway.

Noooo! Now I can't throw an awkward party where everyone drinks all my booze and pretends to not want to change the channel for four hours!

Obligatory "Ha-Ha" picture needed.

If this eventually affects the Oscars, the suits better start thinking of Part B to their cunning plan.

Actually, the hilariousness of a bare-bones show would have made in infinitely more watchable.

 
Total Morselization 2008-01-07 04:14:11 PM  
Too bad. This was the one where everyone gets plowed during the show.

Always getting beat to the punch.

It's like watching a massive circle jerk...

Oh well, I wasn't up for one anyway.

I hope the strike goers on for a long time. All these reality shows are awesome!
/sarcasm

Did they tape the new 6 or so episodes of Jericho yet? I hope they did so they can air it when no other shows are on.

Finally, an upside to the writer's strike.

Who gives a rat's arse. Too many awards shows as it is. I say they cull it down to the Emmy's, Oscar's and Tony's. They just keep adding more award shows so they can spread the wealth and make sure all of the previous snowflake actors don't get their ego's bruised and get their panties in a bunch.

 
Vitiare 2008-01-07 04:16:33 PM  
I agree, it means very little, but everyone THINKS its the end of the world.

The GGs have been a barometer for the Academy Awards for a long time. How this will affect the Oscars is merely amusing.

Schadenfreude, my dear friends, is the #1 commodity of the US.

That should be "precious", not previous.

And now Dr. Phil has cancelled his Britney interview special. What the hell am I going to watch on TV? I should have Tivo'd American Gladiators.

i love it when you can see under the boob like that.

MikeXpop 2008-01-07 04:18:56 PM  
Awww... With no actors, I was looking forward to the trainwreck it was sure to be. First time I would have ever watched.

 
The Stealth Hippopotamus [TotalFark] 2008-01-07 04:19:01 PM  
One down too many more to go. Oscars I am looking at you.

Raw Toast [TotalFark] 2008-01-07 04:19:11 PM  
So some good did come from the strike. I would love the Oscars to be taken down too.

 
muckdog 2008-01-07 04:19:27 PM  
Down with the Film Actors Guild

 
tonesskin [TotalFark] 2008-01-07 04:20:01 PM  
Isn't that the show about Rose and Blanche and they show their hooters off?

 
WishfulThinker 2008-01-07 04:20:36 PM  
Oh Noes! The peoples in the talkies won't be getting their little chocolate statues.

To all the potential winners: ha-ha.

Wait until the Oscars get canceled.

I was really looking forward to Joan Rivers and her clone commenting on the bad fashions being worn by passers-by.

 
isamudyson 2008-01-07 04:21:31 PM  
I actually kinda like the Golden Globes. It isn't too formal, everyone is having a good time and you get a meal and drinks with the show. How can you hate that?

 
Lutwidge 2008-01-07 04:21:42 PM  
Was I the only one who read that as Golden Girls?


Oh well.

 
LikeALeafOnTheWind [TotalFark] 2008-01-07 04:22:11 PM  
I think it would be great entertainment to see all the stars try to give out the awards without the teleprompter or cue cards.. could be a ratings blow out. Probably a lot of gaffs.. dont even tell them what to say just tell them the category and the nominees and let them wing it.

Mr. Coffee Nerves [TotalFark] 2008-01-07 04:23:11 PM  
It's hard to believe that the "witty banter" the drunk actors/actresses woodenly read from their teleprompters is actually written on paper instead of the method one would assume they use: vomiting "Alpha-Getti" onto a table and reciting what it says.

 
robotwithglasses 2008-01-07 04:23:14 PM  
Has anyone else watched this doc? I'm not big on award shows but I stopped watching the Globes after this.

The Golden Globes: Hollywood's Dirty Little Secret (new window)

 
theoriginalslash 2008-01-07 04:23:39 PM  
Yay! Awards shows are crap anyway... basically 4-hour-long circle jerks.

 
fappomatic 2008-01-07 04:23:49 PM  
I'd like to see the air time used for a special about craft-brewed beer and whisky.

/go Buckeyes!

If only there were a button that would let you watch something else, even if the show was on.

That being said, I generally use that magical button and don't watch this crap. But I might have watched this years only to see if it was a train wreck without the writers.

You have to remember that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of 100 members. Thats it. And its a bunch of guys that write for news sites no one has ever heard of before.

In the grand scheme of things, it means absolutely nothing. But the value that Hollywood bestows to these ass-hats is really astounding.

Don't worry my friend. There's always the Superbowl.

 
theoriginalslash 2008-01-07 04:26:12 PM  
Next up: the canceled Oscar telecast. It'll be the best one ever.

Listen up, award show haters, and chew on this for a sec:

No 2008 Golden Globe Awards means no 2008 Golden Globe Award nip slip pics.

The only award show I’d even be remotely interested in watching would be the one for the Adult Video awards. I always wondered why no station, even like HBO or Showtime ever covered them. Good times!

"Even though the Golden Globe people are by and large idiots," critic Powers says in the documentary, "they often make better choices than the Oscars."

Oh snap. That's gotta burn
