So, yeah, I completely bombed out in my TV predictions, folks. A horrible 3/11 here- it's enough to vow never to predict the Globes again, at least in the TV categories (at least I did better on the movie side). I have to remember that new shows rule at the Globes- the Hollywood Foreign Press always, always goes for the new show, no matter how under the radar it might be. Still, I couldn't be happier that the Globes finally recognized Breaking Bad, Amy Poehler and Elisabeth Moss. Weirdest moment of the night was Jacqueline Bisset's horribly awkward and embarrassing speech at the beginning while Tina and Amy did a great job hosting the show for the second year in a row. But they've really, really got to figure out a way to not have the TV people be seated in Siberia, so that it takes them years to get up to the stage. I swear, 10% of the broadcast was people hiking to the stage. Other than that, the show itself was fairly uneventful this year- no crazy drunken antics, unless you count Emma Thompson's shoe toss, but that was pretty clearly planned, no nutty acceptance speeches. Everything went off pretty smoothly.
