You know, it never fails to amaze me why someone whos livelihood depends on getting as many people to see their movies, would knowingly alienate a significant part of the public?

From IMDB:

Globes are Trounced by Football Competition for Golden Globes took a backseat to competition between the Tennessee Titans and the Oakland Raiders for the AFC championship. The football game, which aired on CBS, averaged 38 million viewers, while the Globes ceremonies averaged just 20 million (mostly 18-54-year-old women), the smallest audience the awards program has attracted since 1997 and three million fewer than those who tuned in last year.

Could it be that Hollywood is alienating the country with its anti-Americanism?

I agree! I thought the same thing when Julia Roberts said Republican came between repugnant and reptile. Think of the millions of people she insulted with that remark. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have hurt her career.

I don't get that either, and I've given it considerable thought. Do you think they think we re so stupid, we will just agree with whatever they say? Or change our minds to their point of view because they believe their own hype about how great they are?

The fact that the Golden Globes didn't contain any polictical speeches - that I saw, anyway - makes me think that maybe someone's begining to put 2 and 2 together.
