Golden Globe winners (yes, the Globes were "handed out" last night)

In the most exciting press conference of the weekend -- perhaps even the whole week -- the Golden Globe award winners were announced Sunday night. Normally, the Globes are the "fun" awards show.
Once again, moviegoers and critics alike find themselves in January, the month where the Hollywood awards begin to be handed out and the number of new offerings at the local multiplex begins to diminish. Gone is the glut of movies fighting for the all important Christmas dollar where, 5 or even 6 new wide releases could come out on the same day.
The awards season is upon us, and with that comes the list of Golden Globe nominees, announced Thursday morning.

As anyone in the movie and entertainment journalism business knows, the weeks leading up to Christmas are some of the busiest in the year. Studios rush to stake their claim on the best screening locations and times for their award-caliber pictures and holiday offerings, while smaller films, are often left in the dust fighting for even the smallest bit of attention.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. At least if you're at the malls or a multiplex or even better yet, a multiplex in a mall. Last time I looked at the calendar, the date read early November putting us squarely a month and a half away from the arrival of Santa.

You may recognize him as a regular correspondent on The Tonight Show, where he covers major events in taped pieces airing after Jay's monologue.
I'll be the first to admit that I've become a bit tired of computer generated animated feature films. It's just something that isn't fresh and exciting anymore.
What a writers' strike could mean for you, the average TV viewer

I've discovered recently that many people, even hardcore television fans, are unaware of the likely upcoming strike by the Writers Guild of America. The union's members have voted 90% in favour of striking after their contract expires at the end of today.
Like in life itself, things in Hollywood go in cycles, with similarly themed movies often hitting the multiplex around the same time. Usually it happens with summer blockbusters like the summer of '98 when Armageddon and Deep Impact both shared the big screen in hopes of becoming the victor in the war of the "giant boulder hitting earth pictures".
