Booman Tribune ~ Golden Globes Thread & Poll

I love the Globes too. It's the only one that I can sit all the way through.

I remember the Christine Lahti incident, but what I remember most about it was Robin Williams jumping up on stage and improvising hysterically until Christine Lahti showed up.

I get the biggest kick out of this stuff -- don't ask me why.

And Darcy and I want to see if Angelina Jolie looks poofy yet.

They always try to say it's way later than it really is to throw the press off. But you don't just pop out like that with your first one until you're 5 or 6 months.

Speaking of Ms. Jolie, someone I know sent a diary that someone I know did about Angelina Jolie's work for the U.N.'s Human Rights campaigns to the Countdown show, which has been rather ugly in its comments about her and never mentioned her humanitarian work or her incredible journals from Sudan.

Joan Rivers just interviewed George Clooney, and she asked him why he's such a huge success, and he told her it's because he has photos of a lot of people with farm animals.

Unfortunately I haven't seen any of the movies that are up for awards. These days most of the movies we see are things we can take our 8-year-old granddaughter to.

I was going to post some nasty comments about the MPAA, but I decided I don't like it when people hijack my diaries, so I wouldn't piddle in your petunia patch. Even if you are doing more or less what I wish I could be doing right about now (well, except for the part about Aunt Helen's nightie, anyway).
