[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

From IMDb news, regarding the Golden Globes cancellation:

Best Actress nominee Nikki Blonsky tells MTV News, "It's kind of like you've got your dress, you're getting ready for the senior prom, you've got your hair and your makeup, and somebody goes, 'Prom's canceled!' That's what it's like. This was going to be a super-crazy prom. But it's not going to be."

Those damn mean, ugly nerds.

Um, it's like that if you're a total idiot and didn't see this coming. I know it takes a while to prepare, but really, I don't think that level of hyperbole does anyone any good.

Of course, this could just me getting all Cranky McCrankypants from lack of sleep and another cold coming on. Feh.

In her defense, she's 19 and completely new to the movie business. But still.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, I really think the important context here is that this was going to be her first awards show. Ever. After a completely unexpected rise to a starring role in a major motion picture. I'd be disappointed in her case too. Especially since, sadly, I doubt she'll be getting too many starring roles in the future, as Tracy Turnblad is a rather intentionally unlikely star character.

She could always continue following in Ricki Lake's footsteps with a Sugarbaby revival...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also, while she's likely to get a nom for a Golden Globe because they have a musical/comedy category, there's no way she'll get a nom for an Oscar. Probably ever. Kind of a one shot deal for her career.

Yeah, it really is too bad for her.

Ok, I guess I was overreacting. Plus, apparently I've not been keeping up on movies.
