I have to admit, I’m pretty sad the Golden Globes have been canceled. I love how the GGs highlight both TV and Movies and all the best actors and actresses from the big and small screen all get together for a big lovefest. Not to mention the amazing fashion we get to see on the red carpet…

I might be alone here, but watching and hearing the winner’s speeches is also super interesting to me. Seeing who they thank (and who they don’t) and seeing them react as themselves instead of their character. And now we have Nancy Dell and Billy Bush just reading off the names in a one-hour press conference.

Don’t get me wrong – I understand the strike and think there’s merit, but wouldn’t it stink if THIS was the year you finally won an award?

In years past, getting ready for the Golden Globes was a big deal—I’d invite similarly obsessed friends to come watch with me (no one is allowed to talk during the show so I only invite serious entertainment lovers.), I’d print out ballets and spend a week selecting my choices, and I’d prepare some fabulous and tasty food to nosh on while watching.

This year, since it’s just a one-hour press conference, I’m going to skip my get-together and the delicious food… though I will still print out a ballet and keep score.

Before I sign off, here are the people/shows I hope win the most:

Tina Fey, 30 Rock, Actress, TV Comedy or Musical
George Clooney, Michael Clayton, Actor, Drama
Ellen Page, Juno, Actress, Musical/Comedy
Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Supporting Actor
30 Rock, Series, Comedy or Musical
