BUSY AS A COLONY OF BEES…
Yes, the weekend is simply chock full of prestigious entertainment awards events.
The DGA selects their winner on Saturday. The GRAMMYS are on Sunday. I’ll have to fit in a film review at some point. I may not get to that till Monday.
It will get published. Eventually. Never fear.
Plus the OSCAR nominations will be announced live at 5:40 AM Pacific time on Tuesday morning.
That’s exciting. But it’s sure to be a letdown in some respects. It always is.
I will be on top of all of this. Though I will only be here sporadically.
But it will all get done. Count on it…
Our Friday musical highlight is DARLIN BE HOME SOON by THE LOVIN SPOONFUL.
Don’t demolish too many chandeliers over the next couple of days, boys and girls.
It’s much too difficult to clean up…and I’m speaking from experience.
See you back here tomorrow. Rain or shine…

Baby, there is a chandelier somewhere with your name engraved on it.
Guaranteed.
Believe me. You will find it before you’re through. When you do, remember that I told you so.
Yeah, I have to be up on OSCAR nomination morn. It’s my version of Christmas Eve. Not Christmas. The Wildings always open their presents Christmas Eve.
None of this ridiculous shilly shallying around.
I would never be able to sleep the morning of the announcements anyway. I’m so stoked. As soon as they’re over, I bitterly bitch and moan about all of the wonderful artists and films that got the shaft. But over the course of the day, I come to accept the fact that some of the people and movies that I adore got in.
You just have to take it all with a grain of salt and move on. Everyone is aware now (due to the internet, the guilds and some of the other awards shows) who will probably make the cut and who will be left by the side of the road.
But there are always surprises that make it interesting. I find the annual spectacle endlessly fascinating – from both an artistic standpoint and a psychological one.
It’s just mesmerizing and frustrating and maddening and astonishing and completely fabulous. Christ, I don’t even have anything at stake.
But I just get pulled right in every single year.
So will I be up at 5:30 AM Tuesday, glim?
You bet your ass.
I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
