Golden Globe nominations are in!!
The awards went as I thought they would – with few surprises. Heath Ledger was nominated for Dark Knight (and rightfully so). The only surprise for me – was the fact that Tom Cruise was nominated for Tropic Thunder. I think he STOLE the movie – he did such a great job – but I was still surprised to see his name!

This proves that america could not possibly be picking these someone in the clouds does this. When movies haven’t even come out how can they be nominated. How can you actually nominate an actress that wasn’t worth crap. How can you nominate movies people haven’t even heard of. Seriously I feel that the stars have one more year to prove to me why I should actually watch them. I don’t mean brad and angie. I will never watch either of them again. I still hold the record for not seeing that stupid smith movie. Anyway if things don’t change I will cancel my cable and just stop watching tv completely. It just isn’t worth it. Tv should be like mail if you don’t want to hear about someone or watch someone you should be able to put them in a junk channel one that is never watched or used. This is really sad. GET A GRIP HOLLYWOOD.
