Needs more Ricky Gervais, less preening celebrities. And I can't understand a word this foreign dude is saying (I mean Christian Bale).

Did Boardwalk Empire actually get good? From the pilot it just seemed like The Sopranos in the 1920s with a weaker cast

He's been pretty funny, but unfortunately he's only had about three minutes of screen time.

Quote
LOS ANGELES— Selling tickets to the afterparties is nothing. In a suit filed in Superior court in Los Angeles on Thursday, a former publicist for the Golden Globes alleges that the organization’s members engaged in payola, accepting money and gifts from studios in exchange for nominating their films; sold red carpet space and media access at a profit; and received payment from studios to lobby their fellow Hollywood Foreign Press voters towards (or against) movies.

It turned "meh" during some of the middle episodes, but things went back to being fantastic during the last five or six.

Even Fincher thinks that The Social Network is overrated,

"”....on ‘Social Network,’ I didn’t really agree with the critics’ praise. It interested me that ‘Social Network’ was about friendships that dissolved through this thing that promised friendships, but I didn’t think we were ripping the lid off anything. The movie is true to a time and a kind of person, but I was never trying to turn a mirror on a generation,” Fincher said about the film. Assessing where the picture stands within his own canon of work, Fincher feels that “Zodiac” was thematically richer.

“It’s a little glib to be a film,” Fincher says. “Let’s hope we strove to get at something interesting, but ‘Social Network’ is not earth-shattering. ‘Zodiac’ was about murders that changed America. After the Zodiac killings in California, the Summer of Love was over. Suddenly, there was no more weed or pussy. People were hog-tied and died. No one died during the creation of Facebook. By my estimation, the person who made out the worst in the creation of Facebook still made more than 30 million dollars. And no one was killed.”

He's still pissed off that Zodiac was ignored, and I agree.  Zodiac is a fucking brilliant movie while The Social Network is mearly good.   It's like the academy giving Scorsese the award for The Departed after not giving it to him on film that actually deserved it, like Goodfellas.  Just Hollywood make up sex.

Zodiac wasn't even nominated the year it was released.  For perspective: Juno was nominated.

also, The Wrestler wasn't nominated the year it was released.  These awards all suck.

In what little I did watch, I did manage to catch Gervais introduce Bruce Willis as Ashton Kutcher's dad. :rofl

I don't get the outrage with Gervais, he did the exact same thing last year he even joked about the hfp selling the awards.
