"Can you hear what they are saying?"

The Golden Globes were last night. Homosexuals everywhere! I feel like such a fake movie fan. I haven't seen a damn one of those movies. Most of them I would like to, but just haven't. The TV shows I fared better with. And that just makes me want to cry.

Brokeback Mountain fucked everyone, and got Best Drama, Best Director, Screenplay, and Original Song. I haven't seen the film. I'm not even entirely sure that I want to. It's impressive, though, that they managed to score picture, director, and writing awards. Not a one for acting, though. Walk the Line also may be a movie I have to put on my list. I hate Johnny Cash's voice, so I didn't give a second thought about seeing his biopic. But since it got Best Musical, and Actor and Actress trophies in the same field, I may have to reconsider.

Felicity Huffman happily won Best Actress in a Drama for Transamerica, which I am thrilled about. This too is on my list. Shrugs to the Supporting Actors. I don't know the movies. I am so behind. George Clooney (Syriana), and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy, uh... The Constant Gardner) won. Sure.

Lost and Desperate Housewives won for the series categories. Since I have both of their seasons one on my shelf, I feel prepared. I just haven't cracked Lost open yet. Matt and I opted for 24.

Geena Davis surprised me by winning Best Actress in a Drama, go her. I like Geena Davis. Mary Louise Parker looked genuinely off-kilter (see: stoned and angry) when she won. Chris Rock seemed to imply that she was either screwed because she was the only non-Desperate Housewives nominee, or a "fake" win because the Housewives all canceled each other out. I wanted Marcia Cross to win. Or Felcity Huffman, even. That would've great; a double win on her part. I think Teri Hatcher is good but overrated, and Eva Longoria simply doesn't deserve it.

I was so happy for Sandra Oh when she won for Grey's Anatomy! I love her! And I was convinced she was going to be overlooked! But she won! Yay!

... and naturally, I hadn't seen any of the miniseries or made-for-TV movies.

I hate Johnny Cash's voice

*gasp*
Every time I hear his version of "Hurt," I want to.
i'll allow that his voice got shakier and weaker with age... but damn... how can you hate johnny cash?
I don't know about the person enough to hate him. When it comes to old school country, I only like Patsy Cline, so it's generally his style of music and vocals that offend.
hm, if you haven't heard much of his old stuff, it's very very good. i'd think if you liked patsy cline, you'd like it. i can understand not liking his later stuff. oh, and you should check out wanda jackson while you're at it, if you've never heard her.
Oh man, your comment about Lost and Desperate Housewives is exactly what I'm in the middle of. I watched all of Desperate Housewives Season 1 in like a week (waiting for the season 2 dvd so I can binge again) and I bought Lost but haven't opened it yet cause I fear getting hooked (as I'm told happens to EVERYONE!) Anyway, I love the daily Rocky posts they make my day. Mind if I friend you, I'm always on the lookout for more LJ friends.
:) Sure, add away. I'm glad you appreciate the RHPS_Daily comm.
