The Hot Blog

That was the most cringe-inducing opening five minutes of any program I've ever watched (and I remember the Snow White/Rob Lowe "Proud Mary" fiasco quite clearly).

Ratings were okay for the GG's, but holy crap, they were one dull show.

What's worse than that song is getting the original song stuck in my head for the rest of my day. Thanks.

I'm glad someone else was as annoyed/irritated/grossed out/made uncomfortable by this song as well. I was in awe that it was actually happening. And the GG's wonder why no one takes them seriously.

If it was the Oscars, it would have been accompanied by a huge production number, so we should consider ourselves lucky.

The worst part for me was enduring my wife's "I can't believe you suggested I watch this" look on her face halfway through the song. Next year I'll suggest she doesn't watch it...heck, I may join her!

I usually watch the Globes, though mostly for the entertainment factor, not the validty of the honors...

but I skipped this year. I'm not really in love with any movie or TV show to get excited about winning. The only surprise for me was Rachel Weiscz win. Every other movie award was by the book.

Rachel Weisz is such a class act.

And to think ten years ago in Chain Reaction I thought she was kinda ugly.

The song couldn't be any worse than when the Globes did a similar redo of Outkast's "Hey-Ya" a few years back. You guys remember that, dontcha?

Yeah...... suddenly, I'm VERY glad I watched 24.

yeah...that song was horrible.
If you can call it a song.
Yet the music that bothers me the most is
the grating "Golden Globes" muzak that plays
before and after commercials, and even some of
the incidental music used when winners walk to
the stage. It is like '70s-"Rockford Files"/"Love Boat"-kind-of music that makes me depressed.

It's always funny to see old people try and be "hip." At least the Oscars don't even try and pretend. The Globes are just flailing in the quicksand.

That opening number was hor-rendous. Does anyone know who wrote it? If they give out anti-Emmys or Golden Razzies for TV, this song deserves it.

Just checking cuz I missed it, but is this an adaptation of the Pussycat Dolls song?

They should give the stars extra booze. Give people a reason to watch.

Old people shouldn't try to be "hip" and "young". It doesn't work. It's cringe worthy. Be yourself. Leave this crap for the MTV awards.

Geez, you're right... "Chain Reaction" WAS ten years ago!

I'm really glad I watched 24 now.

Why didn't they have the Village People sing these songs???

This song was clearly a joke.

Right?

It never happend.

Right?

I better say KIDDING before I get people in an uproar. Actually, I'm not. The Village People have some solid hits that still hold up 30 yrs later. Impressively.

The ratings were up from last year but that isn't saying much since they have gone down consistenly for a while. Tough to get people excited with no big Hollywood type movies or stars involved. The telecasts are just not entertaining enough past what the starlets are wearing.

The show didn't have any excitement in it. Or drama for that matter.

I hope the Academy show is a little more entertaining on the whole.

You mean this song didn't excite you?? Are you mad???

Sorry joefitz84.

I can't say it was one of my better memories in life. I don't think I'm crazy but you never know.

You must be crazy because this song will be a huge hit. It's going off the charts.

There is no way someone wrote this song and put it together and then played it in front of others.

No way.

Now even the lyrics are in my head.

Thanks a bunch!

Yes PalmTree it was indeed the Pussycat Dolls' song. It was sooo hilariously awful.

I still thought the Globes were a fun watch. At least the first hour and a half was when everyone seemed happy and excited and was giving entertaining speeches.

That first hour was when they were sober.

That suggests the show should have gotten _more_ entertaining, not less.

In theory. But sometimes drunk people get just painful to watch and listen to.

Unlike some fun drunks. But they usually burn out quick.

Is there any significance to this line? Am just wondering?
Also ... was there any ... you know ... memorial time quick film clip of Shelley Winters ... like when she was young and beautiful?
Missed the whole thing.

Hannibal Lecter is licking his lips to taste the Cecil B,

I forgot the line, there it is ... up above .. so catchy ... I was just wondering its relevance to these awards?

You mean Golden Gunk? Just Poland being clever.
Winters died too recently. Look for her in the Parade of Dead People at the Oscars, though.

no the Hannibal Lecter line. But I followed the link and found something to the effect that there was a montage of Anthony Hopkins work. Still ... in a song of such profound writing ... this line is perhaps too profound for me to understand. Since I wasn't there. Maybe it is something where you just had to hear it.

Oh, I'm sorry, didn't get it. There was a montage of stars on the red carpet and of course they were on Hopkins when that line came up. The whole thing is nothing but horrible, set your mind at ease with that.

Shelley Winters. May she Rest in Peace.

That song sums up the repulsiveness of celebrity worship and of this fawning, embarrassingly tacky awards show.

and its all just getting started. finishes at the orgy that is the academy awards.

I just watched Shelley Winters in Alfie last week. That's a real shame.

Some people need to stop being cynacle bitter bores.

"the repulsiveness of celebrity worship and of this fawning, embarrassingly tacky awards show."

Go watch National Geographic. They have totally fun stuff about turtle doves on there.

That's half the business. Thet tackiness and the over indulgence. A harmless extra to the industry.

I thought the 'harmless' quality you speak of where why everyone hates Hollywood.

I guess I yearn for something with a little more class, not Mariah Carey, Will and Grace and nip/tuck nightmares like Kathy Griffin. But maybe I'm just too, um, cynacle.
