Most of you don't know. I don't really watch television. I own an actual TV set that is hooked up to the DVD player for movies, and I do Hulu a few shows or use Netflix, but to actually watch TV - nope, doesn't happen. So Golden Globes for me is mostly just another award show that I check the pictures of the red carpet to see what everyone is wearing. This year - beige, black and more beige, but nobody wore a smile.
In October of last year I visited LA for a week. I expected lots of fake attitudes, airs and boobs, what I saw instead were people not even Faking happy. No one ever smiled. Everyone looked like life had beat the shit out of them or would by day's end. It wasn't even an air of discontent. It was resignation to unhappiness and loneliness.
Again, I expected fake, or pretend and the shallowness that comes with the tinsel of tinsel-town, but even in the regular people, (You know, the ones who were born and raised there and still don't know a celebrity and work the cash register at the CVS) there is a total lack of intimacy. Its no wonder the divorce rate is so high among celebrities - so many live in LA. Even those that had "close" friends, still weren't close with their friends. I have people that know me. Deal with my issues and don't let me get away with shit for long. But in LA, no one seems to think they have the right to be real with their friends or have permission from their friends to do so. Maybe that is why no one smiles. They aren't really happy because they have no friends.
I have digressed completely. The point, the lack of smiles has become so wide-spread in LA that they could even rustle up more than 5 smiles(worn by the cast of Glee and Tom Hanks wife) for even an event so sparkly and pretentious as the Golden Globes.
