The blog has been seriously neglected, so lets see if mid-awards season can get it going again. Tonight is the 69th Annual Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globes Awards. The Globes are generally regarded as the major pre-cursor to the Academy Awards with many of the same winners. There’s occasionally a bit of intrigue mixed in with HFPA- but I think that adds to the fun. Morgan Freeman is being awarded the Cecil B. DeMille award this evening.
