Well the dull ones won the award.
Tell me if I'm wrong here:
The worse the acting, the better chance for an award.
The worse the writing, the better chance for an award.
Later, Carl

You have given me the perfect opportunity to trot out my favorite quote. From H. L. Mencken, a.k.a. The Sage of Baltimore: "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public." Or, it seems, the Hollywoord Foreign Press Association. Karma to you from, Mags |

I have to disagree with that on two counts:
Hugh Laurie and Mary-Louise Parker.
Hugh Laurie can go from nuanced to over the top all while faking an American accent.
Mary Louise Parker gave an outstanding performance in "Weeds" on Showtime. Her supporting cast included Kevin Nealon from SNL, who showed he could actually act.

Yeah, those two were definitely the exceptions -- I guess I was going for the overall impression. |

I was about to comment that Hugh Laurie was an exception to that haha. I was amazed he got it. His speech was fantastic.
