Nikki Finke: The Golden Globes Have No Integrity

The Golden Globes are a joke. Smoke and mirrors; the vapidity of the awards is the best kept secret in Hollywood. So -- why was the awesomely talented Kate Winslet, who should have known better (see above), crying up on stage for a meaningless award? Because she -- as an actress -- can? From DeadlineHollywoodDaily:

"It's a completely meaningless awards show by a scandal-riddled organization on a network desperate for any kind of ratings. Yet here I am live-blogging the Golden Globes held by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and broadcast on NBC. The reason is because, over the years, Jack Nicholson has mooned the audience, Jim Carrey has talked out of his butt, Christine Lahti was locked in the bathroom, and other unscripted weirdness occurs at this intimate dinner. Including 1982's low point when Pia Zadora's husband bought her best 'New Star Of The Year.' But that's the perennial problem with the Golden Globes: they have zero integrity."
