Now it’s your turn: Tell us who you think is going to take home the Golden Globe(s) .
Kay- I saw 4 out of 5 up for best musical or comedy and they are all brilliant. I was afraid to see Life of Pi- thought it would be a real tearkerker and so sad to hear that the animals weren’t evne real. So what if he ate an actor or 2 – they can always hire some other ones. 🙂
Go see Life of Pi! Yes, you get caught up in the emotions of the characters, including the animals, but it’s not a tear jerker like Old Yeller. See it in 3D while it’s still in theaters.
I haven’t seen all these films. Loved Lincoln. Also Life of Pi. After seeing “Pi” I wanted to know more about the Bengal tiger named Richard Parker (we’re now calling our ferocious orange and white kitty Richard Parker). So I Googled “who played Richard Parker?” and was surprised to learn that in most scenes with the tiger, there really wasn’t a tiger – it was all created digitally. I suppose that’s true of the zebra and other animals.
