Tonight was the night that the Golden Globes awards ceremony was scheduled to air. Since the writers are still on strike, they did a press conference instead. I totally support the writers here, because I do think that they should be paid for their work that appears in any media, not just TV or movies, and I think they should be paid DVD residuals. Film and TV are so much more than just a TV or movie theatre nowadays, and writers should be compensated for the new media.
But I'm still sad because I love awards shows. I love looking at the dresses, seeing who's wearing what, the shoes, the jewelry, the makeup, and the pageantry of the event. I'm not going to watch the live winners announcement because it's faster and easier to just read it online. I don't watch the shows for the winners. :)
Even sadder is that instead of looking at beautiful people in beautiful outfits, I had to watch Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. It's funny and cute, and the song at the end is hilarious, but it's not the kind of movie I'd necessarily choose to watch. And it's definitely not a replacement for the Golden Globes.
I very much hope that the writer's strike ends with a fair deal before the Oscars.

You HAD to watch Dickie Roberts? Last time I checked our tvs allows you to change the channel, or even turn them off :)
Yes, well, I was sewing, and I always have to have the tv on while I'm sewing.
There was nothing else on - nothing at all - and I didn't feel like going and getting a dvd.
So I HAD to watch Dickie Roberts.
