The Golden Globes TV Frontrunners: A Movieline IM Chat

The Ascent of Glee

Julie: I think Glee could have totally taken this category if they hadn't kept the fake pregnancy plotline so long. So many nominations!

Louis: I guess I'm in denial. I find the show so uneven, artificial, and cliched. I can handle Jane Lynch's nomination, but Matthew Morrison? Tell me one interesting thing about that character.

Julie Agreed, he's a total wet blanket. Every character is a wet blanket except for Jane Lynch. I'd be fine with Jane Lynch lighting the high school on fire with everyone inside. But I did like the episode where Matthew Morrison formed the boy band. That episode really hit home for me on some level. Let's go back to that great idea you just had. If Jane Lynch chloroform-choked the rest of the cast, threw them in a hay loft, mentioned something about team building, and blew them up, it would be a pretty good storyline. Ugh, the boy band! It was so precious for me. Precious: Based on the Bullshit by Disney Called High School Musical. That was my tipping point. I loved it, hated that I loved it, then started hating myself and the series afterward. But come on: When Rachel and Finn practiced alone onstage, they have real heat. They should totally be nominated for a "Best Chemistry" award by MTV or something

Louis: I will leave this IM box. I thought we were having a conversation about craft. You must have has the hormonal control of a mouthbreathing preteen to think they're foxy. And there is nothing wrong with that. Or something. No, there is. There just is.

Julie: Rachel and Finn's chemistry is undeniable!

Louis: Gross. Don't Stop Believing in therapy.

Julie: Whatever.

    Glee is like my America's gay best friend. Don't sleep on it, people.

    Jesus, the pictures of Nicholas Hoult on this site are fucking up my sense-making.

  • stolidog says:

    This has very little to do with the above conversation, but the crazy dad scientist from Fringe should at least get a supporting actor nomination somewhere along the line

  • sweetbiscuit says:

    Agreed.

  • Strepsi says:

    @STOLIDOG - Agreed! John Noble hits all the notes, from scary to tears, in a single monologue. He's like the male Sally Field -- but crazier. Love him.
    As for this article, it is one of the worst I've read in Movieline.com ever -- even for an IM report -- so smarmy, cliquish, and immature, it represents everything that is wrong with internet publications. To quote Movieline "journalist" Julie, "Whatever".

  • I am not real fantastic with English but I come up this real leisurely to read.
