Viva blackpool golden globe awards
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has held the Golden Globe Awards since the forties of the twentieth century and managed to reach the 66th Annual Golden Globe awards show and gala banquet this very year. During these sixty six years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has made questionable decisions and followed unfathomable guidelines to appoint nominees and winners alike. The Pia Zadora affair is still one of the biggest scandals that have rattled the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and it is being retold every time the Hollywood Foreign Press Association does something questionable. Most of the time it is the talk about productions or actors and actresses which did not get a nomination; or when a seemingly sure fire winner did not win. This year, at the 66th Annual Golden Globe awards show the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had several blunders. For instance, they chose to award a mediocre Woody Allen movie, “Vicky Christina Barcelona” with an award and the ultra-mega hit “Mamma Mia!” which really killed abroad and in the UK it is the most popular movie ever, got nothing. “Happy-Go-Lucky”, a lackluster rip-off off a movie, which could not settle which movie it got ripped off, including “Le Fabuleux destin d’Amelie Poulain”, with an annoying character to really make you sick, if you really managed to sit through the ghastly thing. Similarly to last year’s “Juno” where the title character was also annoying from the very beginning, so managed Sally Hawkins to annoy the people out of the theaters, making the movie a flop, but not with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who awarded a Golden Globe for annoyance this year, overlooking stellar performances by Frances McDormand and Emma Thompson. The weird favoritism of “Slumdog Millionaire” made just no sense at all; the 30 Rock awards were simply paying back the hand that feeds them, the NBC, nepotism is alive and well. The same must be said about the “Viva Blackpool” snub at the 63rd Annual Golden Globe Awards. The British cult miniseries was extremely popular in the United Kingdom, managed to shine in the United States as well and go nominated for a Golden Globe. Instead of awarding this unique accomplishment the Hollywood Foreign Press Association went with a boring, stuffy, star studded but empty, boring, expensive, endless, based on a Pulitzer Prize book, overly long (did I say boring?) HBO production “Empire Falls”, just because HBO had the broadcasting rights that year and was sponsoring the lavish after party. Once again the Hollywood Foreign Press Association ignored the European taste and went for the loser, disappointing the country that founded the very Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
