Apart from my classes and watching fan-fucking-tastic movies, life's been really uneventful lately. But I'm in a kinda good mood because, despiting the little facts that my grades are going to be BEYOND awful and that I still miss my friends like the deserts miss the rain, there are a couple of things to be REALLY happy about right now:

1) The Golden Globes.

2) I can't really tell you about this.... Well, I can, but I don't want to. lol. Don't mean to be rude, but it's just that I don't want to make this look official. Not just yet. It's like 99.9% official, but still, I don't want to have high hopes about it. I'll tell you about it in about a month... It's *so* great. And just in case you were wondering -- no, I don't have a boyfriend, our beloved Bush Jr. hasn't been killed and Nicolas Cage hasn't retired from acting. That'd be great, too, but unfortunately any of those fabulous events won't take place anytime soon.

So, let's talk about the Globes.

I've always had the utmost respect for these awards because they're the only ones who've had the balls to award Madonna as an actress, and they've never been as politically-correct as the Oscars. This year they've come up with a fabulous list of nominees. Brokeback Mountain is the front-runner with nothing less than 7, count them, 7 nominations. I'm especially happy about Michelle Williams getting nominated. Do you want to know the reason why? She was Jen in Dawson's Creek. Need another one? She was in Dick, one of the funniest satires ever filmed. There are even more reasons to love her, but the list would be too long. Brokeback is also up for Best Original Song. I honestly think A Love That Will Never Grow Old is already a classic. Sadly, Jake got snubbed, which is especially disappointing considering he gave three award-worthy performances in three very awaited films. Rumor has it that his snub for Brokeback had to do with category confusion. The HFPA aka the Golden Globe voters considered him lead, so I guess he split votes with Heath. However, he's being promoted as Best Supporting Actor for the Oscars so his chances are not dead at all. For those who are not familiar -- Jake has almost as much screen time as Heath Ledger, but his character is not as developed as Heath's, so they're campaigning him as Supporting because they think he has a better chance in that category [and they're right]

Moreover -- Match Point got in for Best Picture [Drama], Best Director, Best Screenplay and... SCARLETT JOHANSSON! I told you she was AMAZING in this one. It's also the first time since 1987 [!!!!] that Woody Allen gets a GG nomination. Felicity Huffman has TWO nominations -- Best Actress [Drama] for Transamerica [even though it's a comedy...] and Best Actress in a TV-Series for Desperate Housewives. I'm *so* happy for her. She's an excellent actress and one of the nicest celebrities out there, so she deserves all the accolades she's getting. Walk The Line is up for 3 awards, including Best Actor and Actress in a Musical/Comedy for Joaquin Phoenix and Reese, of course. Alanis is nominated for Best Original Song for the marvelous Wunderkind, from The Chronicles of Narnia. Zach Braff for Best Actor in a TV Series. And last, but not least -- GWYNETH, oh, GWYNETH. People started getting skeptical about her chances like two months ago but she got nominated. Oh yeah, she's so back. And pregnant. God, I'm so excited for her. I won't comment any more of my favorites, but I'm also happy for: Maria Bello, Cillian Murphy, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matt Dillon, Good Night, And Good Luck, Rachel Weisz, Dolly Parton, Patricia Arquette, Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria, Patrick Dempsey and Matthew Fox. Wow, I love so many people. lol. Anyway, as you can see I'm REALLY excited about this award season! ^^

Hell, I got so unexpectedly developed. Thanks for reading this, just in case anyone's still reading. lol.

Still I love all of you,
