It is art - plain and simple. And Brian Cranston is incredible as Walter White.

That's when it finally dawned on me that these Award Shows are
not of my World.

I own 11 Elvis Costello i.e. albums and 3 of The Cars albums.
I have never met a soul who owns a Taste of Honey album.

A golden globe for over acting perhaps. For my circle this is good news. A friend was cast in Boss and while one of the more regular working actors in Chicago, this will have just made 30 years of damn had work worth it for that belligerent fuck.

I was hugely disappointed that Buscemi didn't win.

And speaking of Boardwalk Empire, I'm constantly puzzled as to why neither Michael Pitt nor Michael Shannon ever get nominated. I'm also puzzled as to why Kelly McDonald keeps getting nominated, but not surprised when she loses out to more worthy talent.

Michael Pitt was completely overlooked but he and Buscemi had some great scenes together.

Pitt's last episodes were just brilliant.

I just got the DVD set of the first season, and it is amazing to see how all the actors grew in their portrayals of their characters over just one season. Truly talented cast.

Especially when they went back in the past and he had to play a younger character. I love watching his earlier movies. He stands out from everyone else.
