I think the apex of my award show obsession was probably about 2003. I had seen all major nominees for Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress prior to the Academy Awards. I was a bit OCD about the whole thing. I'd make up my "Best of" list and send it to friends and family members-- as if they cared-- so they could have *MY* picks prior to the big night.
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy awards, but I'm not as into them as I used to be.
Circa 2002/2003, the Golden Globes started changing lyrics to a song that was big the previous year (ok... within the previous 2 years--you know the type... it's just past its peak and is very overplayed on the radio) to make it the GG theme song. It was always a train wreck of hilarity.
Some of my faves include:
"Waiting for the Globes!"- a tribute to J. Lo's "Waiting for to Night"
"Hey Globes!"- in the way of Outkast (The best line was when they transitioned from a shot of Clint Eastwood to one of Jamie Lee Curtis with the following lyric: "He said 'G'head make my day'/ She's from 'Freaky Friday'!")
"Golden Globes '05"- a la "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega ("A little bit of Halle by my side/ A little bit of Uma in my ride", etc...)
So each year, a friend of mine and I try and figure out what the song will be... It's been disappointing that they haven't had one for a couple of years now... but we still predict. This year, I'm going with "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas. It has hilarious parody written all over it. :)
