Ketchup Time

I found out I really don't like ketchup (despite all the commercials I have done for Heinz), or catch up for that matter. Problem is I have a lot of it, and this time I am not talking about the red stuff. I haven't written about what I thought about the Golden Globes, or the Oscar nominees. You probably have all heard the news by now so just a quick rundown of the good the bad and the ugly.

Golden Globes:

The Good- Kate Winslet winning both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. However she is not a supporting actress in The Reader so that still confuses me, but since that oversight resulted in her two-fer I will accept it for now. Also, Slumdog Millionaire going 4 for 4 and 30 Rock's sweep as well. Good speeches by Kate twice, Nolan honoring Heath Ledger, and Tina Fey' comedic acceptance.

The Bad- Wall-E not winning Best Song.

The Ugly- Miley Cyrus


Oscar Nominations:

The Good- Just about everything for once. So some special things of note instead: Thomas Newman being nominated in both Best Song and Best Score. Wall·E being nominated for Best Screenplay. No Miley Cyrus.

The Bad- The Duchess not being up for Best Original Score.

The Ugly- Thankfully nothing this year.


Of note: Kate Winslet is up for Best Actress but for The Reader, in which she has previously won Best Supporting Actress. This means three things:
1. More confusion.
2. She can't pull a two-fer like at the Globes :-(
3. Since she can't pull a two-fer she is now the front runner :-)
Anne Hathaway was the front runner, then Bride Wars came out. Eddie Murphy can tell her what happens next.

P.S.- If you don't know what I talking about I am referencing Murphy being the front runner for Dreamgirls and then losing out due to the release of Norbit. What this means is that it is finally Kate Winslet's (above) year.
