LIVE STREAM of Walt & Laurice Watching the Golden Globes

WOW – Network TV shows are all but shut out. Almost every catagory is dominated or exclusively going to cable or netflix or BBC. As always I am amazed how many are on this list from movies we can’t even see yet!!!

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will host again.

George Clooney to receive Cecil B DeMille Award – this is the award for actors always ready for their close up…

The irony was not lost on me that I am eating sushi while watching Jeremy Piven on this video LOL – He gets through the entire announcement without issue…
