Golden Globes
Before I get into talk about the Golden Globes - I just wanted to thank everyone in advance for the donations to the releif efforts in Haiti. If you haven't given yet, but want to, you can click here
Now on to the Globes.
I have to say it - I thought Ricky Gervais was hilarious! I find him to be very funny and I think he did a better job than some critics are saying.
One improvement I would like to make to the show (and all similar awards shows) is this:
I don't care who you are or how important you think you are - 45 seconds is plenty of time to thank everyone.
Thank you parents, thank your spouse, say a quick word about 'everyone who helped out' and get off the stage.
If your acceptance speech is the first time you're letting someone know that you appreciate them, then you need help with your people skills and an awards night mention will not fix that. Done.
