Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I watched the Globes last night and really... how lame can you get? I fully support the Writers and I think they're finally playing it smart, going to the smaller studios (Weinstein Co., UA and rumored to be doing so with Lionsgate) and making individual deals... that'll force the bigger studios to follow suit when the smaller guys can start new projects and they can't.

I fully blame the lameness of last night's Globes on the Globe producers themselves. I understand they couldn't cut to celebrities looking hot, but really... two vapid day-time gossip anchors reading out the noms like they'd read the weather report?

Did you notice the lack of any sort of suspense? They couldn't finish reading off the nominees before they'd just blurt out the winners. I know they can add suspense... throw in some music and a long pause... Why not? I've seen Deal Or No Deal... I know they can do it with just those two simple things...

Anyway, the Globes were all over the place this year... seems they wanted to make everyone happy with none of the nominated films sweeping and everybody getting one or two awards... with the exception of JUNO, which I think was really shafted.
