A Golden Globes Recap

Well, being the middle of January you know what time it is... Awards Season! *applause* I have to be honest, I didn't get to see most of the movies or even hear about them so I really didn't care who won other than Glee. I was really just watching it because Ricky Gervais was hosting and he is really funny. Although, he is supposedly not allowed to host anymore because of his jokes. I thought they were pretty funny.


Here's a list of the big winners from Sunday night.
  • Cecil B. DeMille Award-  Robert DeNiro
  • Best Movie, Drama- The Social Network
  • Best Movie, Comedy/Musical- The Kids Are Alright

Lifetime Movies

Well maybe because this is a made-for-TV movie it counts as relevant to this blog. Last night I watched The Craigslist Killer on Lifetime. I didn't really know a whole lot about the event itself, but Jake McDorman (Greek, Aquamarine) was in it which was enough for me :) I didn't really think that the movie was that exciting per say, but it was interesting. This guy who had everything he could ever want and didn't feel like he deserved it so he killed some people so that he could be punished. The whole scene where his fiance went to go visit him in jail was the best part in my opinion. But then after she left and broke off their engagement the day after their wedding was supposed to take place he killed himself which was kind of sad. Not sad as in "Why would he do that? He had so much to live for." I felt bad for him though. Now, killing people isn't ever okay don't get me wrong. But I don't think that he completely did it on purpose. Did you watch this last night? If so, leave me a comment with what you thought.
