Buffy ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Can someone explain the difference (if any) between the Critic's Choice awards and the GGs? I mean, why one was ok and the other not?
I read somewhere (I think Alan Sepinwall's blog ETA: It was in the comments here: [link] that VH1 which aired the Cirtics Choice awards, is not a WGA signatory and Dick Clark Productions, which produces the GGs, is.
I suggest that several big A-list stars have parties that night and let the press cover the arrivals much like a red carpet and winners can be announced at a press conference that would be broadcast during said parties. We wouldn't see reactions of winners or losers, but who cares?
Isn't that the plan?
brenda m, I don't think the WGA's decisions right now are about being "fair".
The decisions are about being strategic. Screwing over NBC on the Golden Globes is being strategic. Screwing over VH1 on the unwatched and unnoticed Critcs Choice award just doesn't have any strategic value.
Just read about fancast.com. More streaming stuffage.
Lovely quote regarding the Golden Globes cancellation:
Earlier Monday, NBC Entertainment cochief Ben Silverman told E! News anchor Ryan Seacrest that the network was "obviously trying to find a solution to satisfy fans of these great movies and all the incredible stars who have worked so hard all year and got this incredible opportunity. "Sadly, it feels like the nerdiest, ugliest, meanest kids in the high school are trying to cancel the prom. But NBC wants to try to keep that prom alive."
I have to object to his assertion. I think I'm looking pretty damn cute these days.
Yeah, cause the nerds were the mean ones.
And a lot of really ugly actors were already planning on not attending anyway in support. So mean and nerdy.
Precisely, DJ
the nerdiest, ugliest, meanest kids in the high school
I can think of...1 kid from HS who maybe might fit this category.
And he certainly didn't have any friends among the "beautiful people". Seriously, wasn't the rule that if the cool people like you, you, by definition, cannot be the nerdiest kids in school?
Ugly Mean Nerds is totally an awesome band name.

Depends. At my high school the coolest kids were the nerds and misfits.
And a lot of really ugly actors were already planning on not attending anyway in support. So mean and nerdy.
I know! Dude that Clooney character should wear a bag on his head.
