Yes, I know the Golden Globes shouldn't get to me, but:
It's a very strange world when Eddie Murphy's good performance in "Dreamgirls'' is honored but Will Smith's superb performance in "The Pursuit of Happyness'' is ignored.
It's sad when iffy talent, such as "Borat'' star Sacha Baron Cohen win, and pros like Toni Collette, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz and Pedro Almodovar ("Volver'') take home nada.
On the upbeat side, "The Queen'' did not win best picture, but its star, Helen Mirren did take the best actress award. Movies that invent on harrowing real life incidents, when the actual reality is ever so much more riveting, are truly faux. Must be the unrelenting gossip mania that carried this flick to glory.
And speaking of gossip, it's reported that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have moved to New Orleans (and will build there) while he makes a movie. If their presence and money help this city and its citizens get going again, who cares if they're the slightly odd couple?

I'm glad you liked Will Smith in the Pursuit of Happyness, too. My friend Njoke and I both loved the movie. We actually just had an "online dialogue" about it here:

We'd love it if you could add your 2 cents on the discussion.
Thanks!
