| Pretty cowboys in love (or, last gasp of gay chic?) |
 Apparently, the Golden Globes pretty much awarded statues to anything with a homosexual character in it last night. I didn't watch, but that's what the papers say so it must be true. Now if we're truly in the post "Will and Grace"/post-"Queer Eye" era, when gay is no longer the hottest trend going (metrosexuality kinda cancels it out, right? And the last "Real World" had all straight characters, so that's gotta tell you something...) then I'd say it went out with a bang ... er ... perhaps not the best choice of words ... with a lot of awards.
...Or maybe this was the Hollywood foreign press's way of goading Pat Robertson into another absolutely priceless soundbite...
Anyway, the Times UK cautions that we shouldn't think all the accolades for U.S. film and TV projects means the foreign press has fallen back in love with the U.S.A. After all, they did award a British guy for playing a better American character (Hugh Laurie in "House") than his American co-nominees...
That's all I'm saying about the awards shows. To tell you the truth, I'm really not that interested in them, except to hope that George Clooney wins lots of whatever he's up for (thanking Jack Abramoff... priceless...)
