Re: Golden Globes 2016

The only things I was rooting for were Leo losing and Jennifer Jason Leigh winning. Neither happened, but Kate Winslet won and acted like she's never been given an award before. You like me! You really like me!

These ceremonies are too cringe inducing to watch most of the time. I tend to mute and unmute based on who's speaking. Unmute for comedians, mute for big-A Actors. Leo takes himself so seriously it's embarrassing. And the Globes are the fun awards. People aren't nearly as drunk at the Oscars, where everyone will be dedicating their awards to various pet causes, regardless of whether or not they have anything to do with the movie they helped make. Leo dedicated his Globe to 'indigenous people everywhere.' Why did that bother me? Just grow a sack and say 'the Native Americans.' He will dedicate his Oscar "to Gaia, and habitable planets everywhere."

The folks associated with The Revenant are trying their best to equate difficulty with quality. No one made you shoot in natural light, eat raw buffalo liver, or bathe in your own filth. You did that for yourself. It hardly shows up on screen, if at all. That liver you ate could just as well have been a high protein chocolate/cherry Jello mold. No one would've been able to tell. I have a bit more sympathy for the peculiar decisions of a passionate director, but Leo is bordering on pointless self-indulgent parody. Has there been a South Park episode on him yet? "I haven't necessarily made a habit of it in my personal life, but for this particular project, we decided that actually committing real murders was the way to go. It lent an air of organic authenticity to the set that I don't think we would have been able to capture otherwise."

Woah I'm in a bad mood. I'll probably unleash some more indignance at Oscar time though.
