These year's awards were somewhat predictable winnerwise, but it had its surprises when Ving Rhames gave his award to Jack Lemmon and Christine Lahti was in the can when she won her golden globe.
Robin Williams getting up for Christine Lahti was a sort of sad attempt to save the show. He said, "And the best cloning award goes to...in the south we always had cloning, it's called cousins."(paraphrase) That's one of his old jokes. Can't he come up with anything fresh?
Anyway, I was a very cynical viewer this year. I don't know, movies just don't seem to be the same anymore. I think they get worse every year. That's why I keep going back to the old stuff.
Plus, award shows seem to be the most absurd idea in the world. Why the competition between five (six?) contestants. What's the point in suspense? Can't they just choose one person at the spot instead of having several waiting to see
if they'll get an award? If they just had winners, then the show won't be so long! That's just MHO. I'm sure I'm just being really crabby. Award shows are entertainment, so it has to be the way it is.

Dress of the night, did you say? Nicole Kidman.
Comment of the night, Meryl Streep's giddy, giddy anti-Bush comment. Did
you catch it?
Bill Murray was great. So was Michael Douglas in retrospect getting the
lifetime deal.

I didn't catch the awards Terry, but I am glad that Bill Murray won for "Lost in Translation", although I am confused that the GG's thought that that movie was a comedy.

It had a lot of subtle funny moments. It's hard for Bill Murray not to
lend some kind of comic element to a movie. I did some flashbacking to
his lounge singer act on Saturday Night LIve.
