Hello Barbara T & QuestarOne. Good to read your comments.

He's cutting it a bit fine! Hope he's attending!
[Edit] Apparently, according to one report, Joaquin has slipped into the building unnoticed!
It looks like Joaquin only wanted to participate in the main ceremony part of the GG awards process (and possibly the press chat afterwards, if he’d won). Maybe this is a fore-telling of what we can expect at the Oscars ie: no red carpet? Anyway, Joaquin was there with his mom. This is DDL’s acceptance speech, but the camera pans to Joaquin when his name is mentioned at the beginning with the nominations.

I'm surprised they didn't just go full on and make a movie about Abraham Lincoln killing Bin Laden while rescuing some American diplomats from Iran.
Or get an ex-president to endorse. Oh, wait……they did!!

The BAFTAs have their agenda too, no doubt. Wouldn’t surprise me if Skyfall picks up the lion’s share of the awards, although I would be surprised if the Queen turned up to make a pitch for it.
I’ll be surprised if Joaquin turns up too.

I know! Over 15,000!!!
Would PTA read this stuff though? Just in case….. Hello! *waves*
About Joaquin not winning the GG.....the optimist in me is saying….well, maybe the BAFTA or Oscar. The cynic in me is saying….they’re putting Joaquin through all this just to make him squirm and the same thing is true of the Oscars - whether he wins it or not, they want him squirming because of what he's said. The realist in me is saying….sheesh, in the grand scheme of things they’re not important! Joaquin done good with Freddie – he/we don’t need an award to know this!
sami wrote:I think what this is gonna do is that people will seek other awards that are more true to their artistic values . Perhaps this will start a new trend ? Or perhaps other countries awards such as baftas will fill in the gap?
If people do seek other awards, is that not just perpetuating the whole awards process and culture? I don't like the Oscars, but I like the *whatevers* so I'll do what I need to win one of those, kind of thing? Or do you mean create a new award which has certain artistic values and criteria at its core?
Admin, that clip is freaky!!!!
