Hey, why not post now?

Here's how you can tell I'm a bit more lackadaisical about the Oscars than I used to be: "Eh, Golden Globe noms at 7 am. They'll still be there when I wake up." So here they are. Surprises: love for In Bruges and Pineapple Express; nothing for The Dark Knight or Milk except supporting actor and actor, respectively. Mostly I'm just surprised that they didn't kiss The Dark Knight's ass so they'd have more movie stars show up and more fans tuning in. I mean, the Globes are kind of a joke even by awards show standards ("Be aware that the small motley local crew who belong to the scandal-riddled HFPA won't grant membership to real journalists at the prestige newspapers across the world"), so it's not like this would have been beneath them.

That said, I really do enjoy liveblogging the Globes a lot--they're the Drinky Oscars! So much more fun.

(Best headline on the subject I've seen all morning: 2009 Golden Globes: Good Year For Jokers, Midnight Tokers.)

Meanwhile, Globes dodge strike bullet, Oscars may not. An Oscars without writers = crappy; an Oscars without movie stars = POINTLESS.

Also, just because it is awesome and I happened to see it right now, The 'Watchmen' International Trailer Is Here!

There was an article on lion_lamb about the official search being on.

And they called her Kristen Bell. Har har.

I don't know--I'm not seeing them do anything but cite the "maybe" from EW as fact. I did just see that Chris Weitz is supposedly being announced as the director this Sunday, so I guess we'll find out for sure when the reins are officially handed over.

There's already rumors floating around that Michael Copon, of One Tree Hill/Power Rangers fame, is his replacement.

I just looked up that actor since I had no idea who it was, and, he looks like he'd be a good choice to play an older Jacob.

Great icons, BTW!

I found them all through lion_lamb. I can't claim to have made them, just to have lmao'd my way through uploading them to my account. ^_^

Yeah, no sooner had I commented than I saw a headline to that effect.
