Yeah, yeah, there are many fans who missed seeing their favourite Tinseltown personailties flaunt their artificial asses and Botoxed jawlines on the red carpet. But here's the good news, or silver lining:
- Reduced carbon footprint. Fewer people, mostly journalists, drove to the event. No glamour queen had to board a planevto strut down the aisle. A lot less electricity was used. No animals were accidentally run over. Hardly a bush was trampled on (though some of us want to step on a particular Bush but that's another post, time and place. Ahem).
- Reduced opportunities for mayhem and celebrity madness and unwarranted media attention. Look at Britney - in jail and people actually support giving the kids to Kevin now. Do we really need the Golden Globes to make things worse? There would be awful Brtiney jokes. She might contemplate suicide. Come on people. Keifer Sutherland's already in jail for drink driving. No one drove home drunk at these Golden Globes because there was no booze to begin with. No bushes trampled on by inebriate famous people.
- Potential self-esteem/image issues kept at bay. We know millions of teens and immature women want to see what Katherine Heigl and Cate Blanchett and Jennifer Lopez would wear to attend the event. This kind of media exposure can promote unhealthy self-esteem issues in impressionable teenage girls who submit to anorexia, bulimia, Justin Timberlake, celery sticks and psychotheraphy to maintain their skinny bodies and semi-healthy minds. Campaign for real beauty people. Listen to the moisturising Dove.
- Credit crunch prevented. Think also of all the parents and working women who know would not need to plead with their banks for credit line extension to buy bling, blong and blung because they saw the hottest thing this season on the Golden Globes. Citigroup already declared US$16 billion in losses. Let's not make it worse ah.
- Stand made. The writers are not writing and are getting support from the actors who understand their plight of overworkedness and underpaidness. A little support is nice. This situation also gives local TV a chance to develop acceptable English content and not depend on the US for our TV fix. Come on people, support the local arts. Though Mediacorp sucks. The best thing they did last year was the Noose. I think we need a gahmen campaign.
See, so good right. Full results here.
