Official 2012 Golden Globes Thread

Okay, normally I don't watch this, but I fricking LOVE Ricky Gervais. So I'm watching it.

Homeland beats Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire for best TV Series - Drama? Seriously?!? What the fuck?

Bad, bad, bad choice!

 

[Jay]

How the fuck does Game of Thrones not win?

I shivered while looking at Angelina Jolie. She's so gaunt and bony.

But not Salma Hayek...

 

[PatrThom]

That's a different kind of shiver. Probably more of a judder, actually.

I am in love with Ricky Gervais.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

Homeland was better than Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire. Awesome choice. Go Globes.

 

[Dave]

Charlie, you and I disagree on that.

 

[Covar]

It's the Golden Globes. Of course Charlie agrees with their choice. They're pretentious even for an award show.

 

[Jay]

A bit safer this year.

 

[Adam]

Kate Beckinsale. Om nom nom.

OMG, I forgot to mention this. While I was in Mexico, we did a dolphin dive. On the photo board was a pic of Kate riding one of their dolphins in the skimpiest-ass bikini I'd ever seen. PHWOAR. Wow.

Oh, and GG GG.

huh? I actually usually loathe the golden globes. They usually aren't based on merit and are based on who spent the most money or is the biggest star that will give the show ratings. See: every Angelina Jolie nomination in the last 10 years, The Tourist, Anna Paquin's best actress for True Blood, putting My Week with Marilyn in the comedy category inexplicably, every American Horror Story nomination, Cranston or Buscemi not winning Best Actor this year, etc etc.

Charlie, you and I disagree on that.

Did you even watch Homeland? It was fantastic and deserved that award more than GoT. And I say this having loved GoT.

 

[Dave]

I watched an episode but thought it was overdramatic and pandered to the 9/11 crowd. I must say I haven't watched all of them or from the beginning.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

t thought it was overdramatic and pandered to the 9/11 crowd..

This is funny, since I (and almost everyone else) sees it as the anti-24.

 

[Adam]

Well, as long as you're in the majority opinion, that makes Dave wrong

 

[Dave]

I freely admit it could be due solely on the descriptions of the show I read as well as the one show I watched. I can't really say I've given it much of a chance.
