Golden Globes @ MindSay

I don't really get into the award shows, but I was happy to hear that Heath Ledger won a Golden Globe last night for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight.  It was, of course, his last role, and he was amazing.

Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan accepted the award on Ledger's behalf.

So apparently the Golden Globe Awards are cancelled this year because the SGA is saying its members won't be crossing the WGA picket lines.

This actually makes me really happy. It's so great seeing the networks crumble under their own weakness, lameness, and stubbornness.

Perhaps the studios' discovery of their ineptitude without the writers will create a turning point in negotiations. Fingers crossed 'cause I can't handle this strike much longer.

Too. Much. Reality. TV.

Ack.

(Also, still no word from Mom on Patches. :( )


iFeel: meh
iTunes: "Access Hollywood" on TV (I know, I know... but it's mainly on for background noise, and I just happened to catch the GG segment)

My daughter participated in the Black History Program at school.  She had two short presentations to make. The girl had nerves of steel. She couldn't wait until it was her turn. I was very proud of her. Her voice was loud and clear. You can detect a wee bit of her momma's Texas accent. :D Try to ignore my shoddy camera work.

 

First presentation - Red, Black and Green

 

 

 

Second presention - First hair brush patent

 

 

 

Emma shows us the Pan African flag.

 

 

Emma and Kel.

 

 

This little boy just LOVES my daughter. He's a sweetie pie with impossibly long eyelashes. It's hard to tell from this picture, but no male should have eyelashes that long and gorgeous!

-Geena Davis needs to loose some weight
-Reese Witherspoon's new haircut is cute (if not a little lopsided)
-Naomi Watts' dress is ugly, but hair & makeup-wise, she's never looked better
-Cameron Diaz's black hair? Nah. Don't like it.
-Hilary Swank: Get that annoying flower out of your hair!!

Looking OLD!!!: Annette Bening
Looking better than usual: Cate Blanchett
Looking too perfect: Angelina Jolie (except she's baring her ugly tattoo in each pic, that seems to ruin everything)

Cover your breasts: Ali Larter & Beyonce!! (love them both, but please, I don't need to see everything like that)

Was I at the Golden Globes? Heck, no. No wonder there was traffic today. I didn't think the GG's were until next week.  View the pics here: http://imdb.com/ri/RTOPHOTO2_HP/RHS_BUCKET/50173//features/rto/2007/gallery/07globes-arrivals/1    and form your own opinions.
