Golden Globes Cancelled

Well, not cancelled per se. According to Cynthia Littleton at Variety, who is so special she gets her name in the byline twice, the network has decided to "shift the paradigm of the telecast."

By Monday evening, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.'s 65th annual kudos had been downscaled from a gala dinner ceremony and live telecast to an hourlong news conference at the Beverly Hilton, to be covered live (taped delayed for the West Coast) by NBC News, with only journos in attendance -- and most likely with WGA pickets outside.

The problem was that most of the invited actors, directors, writers, and composers refused to cross the picket lines. The dinner was going to be empty and NBC couldn't convince the WGA to give them a waiver for the show.

I'm not sure how desperate hausfraus will cope with the winter blues now that they won't be seeing their favorite starlets all done up for the red carpet. No glitz for the cameras, and no dirty afterparties for TMZ. Actually, I think the ad people are likely to be in worse shape because of the decision; no one is going to sit through an hour long news conference when they can just read through the list on the internet, with accompanying clips and pictures (Hint, hint, any enterprising 'net media companies; call me).

Honestly, the real reason I linked this piece is to make fun of Ms. Littleton-Littleton. "Shift the paradigm of the telecast." Really? Is that really what they did? As a few morons noted, "paradigm" should have been on the 2008 list of banished words. People just do not know what it means or how to use it correctly. She gets negative ten thousand points for using it in the same sentence as "shift" since that tells us where she started to go wrong.

Show "cancelled", all those gowns, and baubles, and bs, not purchased. Dinners out, not eaten. Loss of tax revenue to State Gov. Less money "for the children".

Striking Writers Hate Children.

Actually, I thought "paradigm" was on the 21st Century list of banished words, having exceeded the total amount of usage of the word tolerated by God, entirely within the decade of the 1990's.

I preferred the Golden Globes over the Oscars. I got rid of my television a couple of years ago but I don't remember the GG being as political and slow as the crappy Oscars. I just rented The Tudors and I thought Ace's favorite actor, Jonathon Rhys Meyers, did a fantastic job. Contrary to prior shared opinions, he really can act and it had to be the result of hard work on his part.

Heck, if they just rerun Scarlett Johansen's Golden Globes entering the Golden Globes a year or two ago the ratings would probably be even better than normal.

And if they throw in that gay guy fondling them? Ratings gold.

5 Paradigm was on the 1998 list of banned words. "Paradigm shift" is execu-speak for "I have an MBA, but I majored in frat parties."

6 New episodes of Happy Days were paradigm shifted too.

8 Those award shows are aa big time waste of time you know that the more liberal and left-wing the movie is the more chance it will be nominated
