Really, who gives a damn about the Golden Globes? I didn’t watch and the list of winners has confirmed my feelings on the event. Just seeing “Avatar,” James Cameron and Sandra Bullock on the winners’ list makes me retch. From the Los Angeles Times:

When he won the directing award earlier, Cameron said he was ill-prepared to give an acceptance speech because he thought ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow was going to win for “The Hurt Locker“…

Right.

Thankfully, Jeff Bridges won best actor in a drama with his role in “Crazy Heart.” There were also TV awards, but all were safe and boring choices. We have the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to thank:

The New York Times reported that the HFPA “functions like an exclusive club, admitting a maximum of five new members a year, though more often…accepting only one. Any single member may object to a new member, making it extremely difficult to join.

But enough about that. The big news of the evening – as far as I can tell from my couch this morning – is that ensemble director Christopher Guest has been commissioned to create a five-part Census Bureau ad campaign. The first part of the series debuted during a break in last night’s Golden Globes. This is the first time Guest has directed since 2006’s “For Your Consideration” and I’m pretty damn thrilled.
