hey kids! oh popbytes is a bit tired all this globe excitement has got me worn out - one issue has come up for me - i saw ray and i loved it - and loved the brilliant performance of mister jaime foxx (who got three globe nominations, one for ray, one for collateral, and one for a tv movie - redemption) - but i will argue that ray isnt really a comedy or a musical (the category in which it was nominated) - there wasnt that many songs - and they werent really used to tell the story - and it certainly wasnt a comedy - unless you think detoxing from a nasty heroin addiction is funny - so although im glad ray was nominated as it should be - i found the category a bit off - i guess the same thing goes for the bobby darin biopic starring kevin spacey beyond the sea - didnt he die from a heart defect he had since birth? (thanks d) yeah for sure these are both comedies or musicals - give me a break!
one thing for sure - one movie has come to light recently - and im dying to see it - for one i love don cheadle - for sure one of the great actors of our time - and two hotel rwanda simply looks like a gripping story - based on a true story - it tells the tale of a hotel manager who manages to turn his 4-star hotel into a safe refuge of sorts during a brutal civil war - this movie not only looks thrilling but i think is quite an important movie that will for sure make impacts across the board - so be sure to check out this movie when it opens nationwide dec 22nd!
and lastly phantom of the opera - the broadway show turned movie garnered a few nominations - this was popbytes first broadway show (and saw it 4x) - and im thrilled that its finally coming to film - its excellent - the music - the story - oh i just cant wait...

other globe hightlights include the seven (7) nominations (the most for any film this year) for the brilliant indie flick - sideways - and six (6) nominations for the aviator which popbytes is dying to see - i know its going to be quite good - and let's not forget the acting debut of gwen stefani as jean harlowe - one of the many loves of howard hughes - im still so stuck on her latest solo release love angel music baby (wouldnt it be cute to get like 4 pomerian dogs and name them love, angel, music, baby???!) - and one more thing - poor 'desperate housewife' eva longoria who was shut out of the globe nominations - while her other 'desperate' 4 co-stars all nabbed nominations - she was robbed - i would easily knock-out nicolette sheridan and replace her with eva...ok pobytes out for now - getting ready for tv tonight including the sure to be fun a very gotti christmas - oh i cant wait to see how ms. victoria gotti gets in the holiday spirit - popbytes out - and tomorrow the return of the infamous you didnt hear it from me... newsletter!
