Golden Globes 2009 winners!!!

Leave a comment

Here’s the winners:

http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=awardcentral&jump=contenders&id=news&articleid=VR1117998361

A couple of shockers that I never saw coming: Anna Paquin winning for her vampire TV show “True Blood” on HBO, that was pretty unexpecting and Mickey Rourke winning for “The Wrestler” was quite a surprise as well.

The rest of the winners however, I already saw coming and knew it was going to happen.

If you think “Slumdog Millionaire” will sweep the Oscars as well, I don’t think that will happen. I think the nominations for the Oscars will be slightly different than the films nominated from the Golden Globes.

I hope “Slumdog Millionaire” doesn’t hog up the Oscars as well, the Oscars this year should be “The Dark Knight’s” year.

Back to tonight Golden Globes, a good show, I was impressed with it. “Slumdog” does look kind of interesting but I wouldn’t see it in theater, I’ll wait for DVD. I’m going to have to wait for DVD for “The Wrestler” also since I don’t see it playing in the Capital District anywhere.

I’ll post pictures and stuff about the Golden Globes tomorrow.

Mickey Rourke picks up Golden Globe for “The Wrestler”…

Leave a comment

Mickey Rourke just picked up his win for “The Wrestler”, Rourke won for “Best Leading Actor in a Drama”.

As Mickey made his way up to the stage, he was so nervous that he couldn’t even walk up the stairs. He almost fell as he went up. He also had a tough time speaking through the mic. Through the mic, Rourke joked, “I know Aronofsky, doesn’t like being called a tough son of a bitch, but man, you’re a touch son of a bitch”, then Aronofsky flips Rourke the middle finger, LOL! It was all uncensored too since it was live.

Congrats to Mickey, he deserves it. I never seen “The Wrestler” and I’m dying to see the film so badily. Mickey will probably end up winning an Oscar too.

The Golden Globes is a great show so far!!!

Leave a comment

I’m watching the Golden Globes as I’m typing this and I’m actually enjoying the show. Usually I don’t like the Golden Globes but this year is actually quite amazing.

Martin Scorsese tributing Spielberg almost brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps. The Chris Nolan speech when he picked up the award for Heath Ledger was emotional too. Springsteen won the award for his song “The Wrestler” and I have a feeling Springsteen will win an Oscar this year.

As I’m typing this, Collin Farrell just picked up his award for the film “In Bruges”.

After the show’s over with, I’ll post the results and the winners. So far, “Slumdog Millionaire” is sweeping everything.

Report: Twentieth Century Fox to actually let Warner Bros. release “Watchmen”???

Leave a comment

This is really good news for “Watchmen” fans. Fox may have had a change of heart with Warner Bros. and may actually allow Warner’s to release the film!!! Warner’s and Fox are both in negotiations in hopes of releasing the film to proceed with the original planned March 6th release date. There maybe a possible settlement and might end the fued for good.

Variety Reports:

If FOX allows Warner’s to release the film, I’ll have a change of heart with FOX as well. Although FOX maybe coming out in good terms with Warner Bros. now, I still don’t trust them FOX assholes. It’s a good thing they’re doing and lets keep our fingers crossed if the film gets released. I really want to see it myself!!!

Report: Travolta cancels Golden Globe appearance…

Leave a comment

As I pretty much saw this coming anyways, John Travolta has cancelled his appearance for tomorrow night’s Golden Globe Awards, on the last minute.

More on it here:

Yep, John is definitely taking a long break from his career and this is a good sign of it too. He could even be done with movies for good if that is what’s best for his family.

Get well John, and stay strong.

The Listening Room: The Eagles of Death Metal….introducing my new favorite band!!!

4 Comments

I’ve recently discovered this band called, The Eagles of Death Metal. Now, try not to be confused with the band name ’cause they certainly aren’t death metal. They are old school rock n’ roll with a classic 70’s sound. It’s nice to hear that sound again. I know they’ve been around a long time since the 90’s I believe, but these guys are just becoming mainstream and starting to get more recognition. I saw them on Jay Leno last night, so I went looking at youtube for more of their videos.

Enjoy the laughs here. These guys are hilarious performers, their songs rock and I dig them. They are one of the good rock bands of today. I want to start buyin’ their CD’s now!!!

Thought: Will John Travolta show at the Golden Globes tomorrow night?

Leave a comment

John Travolta is scheduled to appear at the Golden Globes tomorrow night, but will he show? He is scheduled to present an award for “Best Original Song” and he is nominated for an award with Miley Cyrus for the animated kiddie film “Bolt” (which he and Miley will probably win).

I think John will show tomorrow. While John is a human being and has emotions like every human being, he is a very strong man, so I think he will continue to work on his career. He’ll be there tomorrow.

I’m sure John will have a tough time speaking through the mic on stage but I think he’ll be fine. I’ll be watching the Golden Globes tomorrow night. Just for something to watch on TV.
