Lots of "Globes" on Display Last Night: MOTUS Reports
Michelle Obama's Mirror ^ | 1-14-2013 | MOTUS

Posted on 01/14/2013 10:41:50 AM PST by NOBO2012

Like Clarice, I find myself feeling a little more alienated from mainstream “culture” with each passing year.

Take the self-adulation orgy of the Golden Globes for example(SNIP)

Last night’s telecast of the awards was, well, Les Miserables. I missed Ricky Gervais. His irreverent, non-partisan assaults lobbed in all quarters made heads explode. I guess the studio bosses and their hired hands didn’t find that as entertaining as I did. So this year we got NBC’s dream team: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler:

(snip) let’s get on with this year’s winners/losers in both the film and fashion categories.

Julianne Moore, for Best Actress in a TV movie making Sarah Palin out to be a dangerous idiot and tool of the religious right.

Lena Dunham, for her role in a TV show called the “Girls” – although it is debatable if the DNA tests would support that assertion.

She of course is best known for her “Obama Girl” ad in which she solicited votes for Big Guy by comparing voting to losing your virginity. In some ways, it has begun to seem something like that.

“You want to do it with a great guy.”

Claire Dane. Yay! She won for fighting Muslims terrorists in Homeland. How did that happen?

When Ms. Dane concluded her acceptance speech with an exhortation to continue the fight against terrorism, the crowd fell uncharacteristically silent; undoubtedly overcome by the novelty of the notion.

I interrupt the list of winners here to insert a fashion award: for biggest dress. It was a tie:

Observe a bit of Hollywood or prime time TV and it’s easy to understand why Muslims hate us. Isn’t it ironic that the celebs who support the muslims and want to empower “freedom fighters” in Gaza and elsewhere are producing films glorifying everything the muslims hate?

Claire Dane deserves her award. She is superb in the best show on TV, Homeland.

Jodie Foster 'coming out"?
Old, old news.

I know, I read that she "came out" last night. What?? Was there anyone, anywhere who didn't already know that she was gay?

I was a little confused by her "speech" (or was it spiel)?

It sounded like she came to declare that, she had already come out, while other parts sounded like, she was getting ready to go into hiding or retiring.

Three times I tried to post a bigger set of comments, and three times the comments were cut in half.

How does that happen?

However, she is one of the very few people in Hollywood who, no matter what her politics or sexual preference, I kind of like. She's not in your face like a lot of liberals, and she's done a lot of great movies where I appreciated her performances.
