Last night [Sunday, January 7, 2018] was the 75th Golden Globe Awards on NBC.
The Golden Globes are really given attention for the fact that, routinely, at least two of the four performances which later win Oscars had also won at the Golden Globe Awards. Often, it is three-for-four. In some years, it is all four. So, showbiz loves the Golden Globe Awards just for that.
The 60th Grammy Awards are scheduled for [Sunday,] January 28, 2018 on CBS. This is one week before the Super Bowl on NBC. So, the Grammys and CBS knew to avoid the same night.
The 90th Academy Awards are scheduled for [Sunday,] March 4, 2018 on ABC.
We are in a period where awards season is upon us.
Congratulations on these milestone anniversaries and to the winners, yes, but more importantly to me for preferring to not watch them live.
I’m tired. I don’t feel like putting up with three-hour awards ceremonies live. And I don’t want to endure the spirit of the humor brought to these festivities by celebrities who lash out at President Donald Trump when they haven’t done the same at the Democratic Party Establishment and the 2016 bomb of a nominee they forced down U.S. citizens’s throats named Hillary Clinton. (I was reminded of this with live-watching only the first half-hour of last year’s prime-time Emmy Awards, hosted by Stephen Colbert, on CBS.) I don’t want to be told by these in-the-bubble celebrities that Hillary Clinton is the angel and Donald Trump is the monster—yet so many of them have stayed at that monster’s hotels throughout the many years.
So, in the spirit of awards season, I once again congratulate these people on their achievements. But, I would prefer to grab the winners’ list, from the Internet, while live-viewing something—or just about anything—else.
