TEAM STUHLBARG! I'm safely ensconced in a hidden mountain lair this weekend; Ms. Cosmopolitan is visiting Undisclosed Island Location, and everyone else is still reeling from the results of today's football games (of which I'm unaware, having drafted this post many hours ago to be queued for posting at this very moment.)
Yet somewhere in Beverly Hills at this very moment, a group of obscure and occasionally bribable foreign journalists is about to announce the winners of its annual Golden Globe Awards -- one of which, we must never hesitate to mention, was given to Pia Zadora as New Star of the Year in 1981 for a movie of remarkable suckitude, besting (among others) Kathleen Turner in Body Heat. As with most such awards, these are not necessarily awards of merit but awards which capture a certain cultural consensus, and a show which we look to for entertainment, not education. So let us all hope for one speech as good as Sacha Baron Cohen's in 2007, and I look forward to everyone's ongoing commentary.
