Writers Guild Strike
Tom:
Dammit, I thought you weren't a mindless boob.
KvP:
What I'm finding most irritating about the strike (I only watch Conan, Stewart and Colbert) is that the pool of possible guests has shrunk considerably given that most people with union sympathies are unwilling to cross picket lines and appear. It's gotten to the point at which most of Conan's guests are NBC hacks (Donald Trump, Hulk Hogan, etc.) and Stewart and Colbert, being by and large political shows, are stuck with conservative and neo-conservative guests who one imagines are actively against the principle of organized labor, let alone strikes. That hurts Stewart in particular, as he isn't a seasoned improv veteran like Colbert and he has to rely on interviews for nearly half the length of the show.
Apparently Leno and Kimmel are so stretched for guests they're appearing on each other's programs.

Well, since the Golden Globes won't be airing, I'm hoping this will be over by the time Oscar season rolls around, considering that's such a huge profit for the network. Though I think it'd be kind of funny if the world had to do without the Oscars this year.

For a while.

I caught my mother watching "Wife Swap" the other day and our relationship hasn't been the same since.

There's something so deliciously trashy about the Oscars, though! It's like... what reality TV strives to be.
Juno's not going to win anyway, so there's not really a reason to watch it. For that matter, Amy Adams won't even get a nod for certain movies I will not name but that she gave an amazing performance in.
I think there should be a "best amazing actor despite a movie with a horrible premise" award. Hm, I'm not sure about the grammar of that award. Maybe I should sleep.
Inlander:
Actually I'm pretty sure variations on that award make up close to all the awards on offer come Oscar time.
