Twiggyish | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 11:52 am   I agree it is unfortunate. This leads to the obsession by older actresses who are constantly striving to look younger. (Joan Collins..egads) Moon, I love Harrison Ford's humility. =) |
Grooch | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 11:55 am   I heard part of Harrison Ford's speech at the Golden Globes on the radio this morning. It sounded like he was drunk. |
Moondance | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 11:56 am   No just uncomfortable G... He is so handsome |
Trinity | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 12:12 pm   I thought the Golden Globes sucked. How in the world could someone vote for "A Beautiful Mind" over "Lord of the Rings?" Explain that to me? What are all the voters on vallium or something? Sheesh! If I want to see insanity I'll ride the subway at night. I go to the movies to see something that I've never seen before, I go to movies to escape. To me seeing "A Beautiful Mind" is just as unappealing as watching three hours of footage of 9/11. No thank you, been through too much reality, I know enough people with mental problems, I don't need to pay $10 for that "experience." |
Moondance | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 12:35 pm   We all perceive escapism in different ways... 'A Beautiful Mind' had incredible acting and I can escape in good acting no matter the subject |
Jenhavins | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 02:04 pm   I agree that older women do not get very many good parts. I believe that most older female actors do not get the chance to use their talent. Sissy was in Affliction and Blast From the Past (not that this is a Oscar noteworthy movie, but it was entertaining) over the last couple of years. The last thing I remember Meryl doing was Marvin's room (I am sure she has done others, but I can't think of any). Susan Sarandon has had work consistently, but I can't think of very many aging female Actors that get really good roles. It seems that the Brit's ladies are rewarded for their brilliant hard work and our leading ladies are led off to pasture. And, by the way...I am not that mad about Judy either  |
Soeur | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 04:01 pm   I have to admit that I watched to see the clothes and was very disappointed that Lil Kim was not there. Nicole Kidman was very relaxed and made a very gracious speech. My opinion of her improved. It was nice to have the focus trained on Austrailan talent. Judy Davis was cool. Dick Clark is such an all-American fixture that I just enjoyed watching him (its been a long time since American Bandstand and the guy never seems to age, how weird is that??) I was on the phone when Harrison was being feted and missed that part. Why did he rate a lifetime achievement? Those type of awards should be given out to really old guys, shouldn't they? Also, do they ever give lifetime achievement awards to women? My mind is blank on that one. sis calculates how much time she has to watch all the top nominated films before oscar nite |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 07:06 pm   I liked seeing Dick Clark, too. He is an icon. I'm sure his secret is the same with most Hollywood people. (nip and tuck) |
Abbynormal | Wednesday, January 23, 2002 - 02:27 am   I think Harrison Ford got the award because he has been in something like 7 or 8 of the top 20 movies of all time. That's pretty awesome in my book.  |
Grooch | Wednesday, January 23, 2002 - 06:42 am   Dick Clark was on Howard Stern this morning. Guess what? Dick Clark owns the Golden Globes. |
