Needless to say, I have not be a fan of these displays of decadence for quite some time.

if they are going to do this stuff, they should have awards shows for doctors, nurses, accountants, lol
when we didnt know much about the faces behind the movies (back when we had 3 channels), we'd look forward to these big nights so see them talk and how they look off the big theatre screen...now we can't get them to hush up
these awards productions (i like to watch the production coordintion, pretty impressive) are very PVR friendly...i was able to sift through the grammys, sags and globes in about one hour combined....i look for any decent (they are 99% live which is a good thing) music performances, lifetime acheivements, the montages of those contributors who have passed during the year (so many are the lesser known folks behind the scenes, i appreciate seeing these folks even for their 2-5 second moment of fame) and if i hear there was a decent, sincere (but not blubbering) speech i'll hunt it down...you can tell the artists who have done theatre and tuned up their craft (like singers, many have an urge to pull out emotion from their audience, a viceral fulfilment )...for present day, i dig winslet, penn, hoffman...russel crowe has made some decent, sincere and best of all, 'concise' speeches, imo

Gabriel was my first artistic hero (early Genesis days, long before they headed into I Can't Dance era...because They Couldn't Write, lol)...with he pulling out, I'm reminded why
quite a career span for pg...this first clip took me years to fing on vhs 15 years ago, not it's a click away with a mouse, lol....phil collins looks Manson-ish

i've seen a few kids movies (the matinee price is right
) this past few years and Wally had it's moments and fitting theme (human trash and obesity) but the song was the best part....i imagine the Bruce tune will take the hardware
cheers, pg...there's already too little music and then they go for a medley?!...i gotta say the grammys had tons of live music, it's just that i've never really heard of anybody, lol
ps) didnt GL refuse to appear on something or other cos they wanted a short version only of IYCRMM?
