As for the Golden Globes… I thought I watched a lot of
movies. Watched a lot of TV. Apparently not. I didn’t even know most of the
shows that were up for awards. At least I recognized the actors. Mostly.
I remember when television series from cable networks (e.g.
HBO & Showtime) would appear as award winners on the Emmys or Golden Globes
and people would say they weren’t really television shows. At least they were
ON the television. Netflix and Hulu and Amazon and whatever are not ON
television. They’re on the internet. Maybe they should have a separate division
for them: Internet Series. If the Golden Globes are going to differentiate
between a “television” movie and a “theatre” movie, why not differentiate
between an internet series and a television series? Better yet, separate all
the paid channels/services together from the free-based (or commercial-based)
ones. The commercial-based category has a big disadvantage to the internet and
cable when it comes to content. Just saying…
Yesterday was a good day sports-wise. Steelers won (YAY!).
Penguins won (YAY!). My daughter was at the Penguins game (yeah, a little
jealous, but then they probably would have lost if I attended). It was
originally scheduled for 1pm, but because the Steelers were playing, it was
moved to 5pm. She got home super late (or rather, super early this morning),
because she had a 4-5 hour drive home via Cleveland (dropped off her friend)
and had to be at work this morning. Zzzzzz.
I set up my writing goals for the week (on my to-do list).
But since I got such a late start this morning
(7:30! I never get up that late!), and came home from the fitness center
later than usual (9:30!), I hope I’m able to complete some of the stuff I had
planned on accomplishing today. And since writing a post wasn’t one of those
items… Oh well, I did create the list for items to accomplish this WEEK. I just
hoped to have certain stuff done today.
So… Did you watch the award show? Do you want to see “La La
Land” now? I’m thinking I do. Daughter saw it over the weekend. I’ll have to
ask her how it was.
Happy Monday! And if it’s not happy, kick its butt! J

I think you're right. They should differentiate between internet and tv shows.
I stopped watching award shows a long time ago. Actors were gracious in the old days. Now everyone has a platform. It gets old.
Double win for Pittsburgh!
I'm all for an awards show just for Internet and paid services. NetFlix would definitely clean up then.
Maria - Yeah, some had a platform, but most were gracious.
Alex - Double wins are always great. Hopefully Ben isn't hurt too bad and the Steelers keep it going.
No interest in such awards shows whatsoever. It wastes space on my TV. There was a time when DH and I would be at movie theater at least once a week, and it wasn't unusual for us to "do" a double feature. Nowadays, it's a shame, but most aren't worth the price.
Tanja - Yeah, movies have gotten way too expensive. Almost cheaper to wait for it to come out on DVD.
Never been into the awards shows, but then I'm not a big movie-goer. La La Land doesn't look like my kind of show, but hope you enjoy it if you go! And yay Steelers!
Jennette - My daughter LOVED La La Land. I might have to go see it now. :)
On the other hand, I think platforms like Netflix are doing some amazing things with storytelling and character development.
Jeff - They may show great shows, but until they show sports and local TV, I'll never subscribe. Plus, I'm not all that keen on watching stuff on my computer. I'll just stick with my cable & big screen TV.
Noooo, I don't watch. And when people do posts about it, I don't know half of the actors.
Ivy - Well, if you don't watch new movies or television, I guess you wouldn't know the new actors. I don't watch many series on cable networks (e.g. HBO, Starz, FX); therefore, I didn't recognize a lot of the shows up for awards. Times... they are a'changin'!
But most of the stuff on cable doesn't interest me. I watch a great deal of educational docs and stuff like that. But I do see new movies. Not made-for-TV movies, though.
Happy Friday the 13th!
