PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED
Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award: Martin Scorsese.
The only movies/shows from the list I have seen are House and The Hangover. Hangover was hilarious. House is great. Wouldn’t mind seeing Inglorious Basterds.

Not much diverence between a Golden Globe and Nobel Peace Prize.
None of these movies interest me...or for that matter, the players. I can't understand what the fascination with George Clooney is about, for example. He's no actor; he's just a face.
Thank goodness for DVD players and Turner Classic Movies. I seldom go to the theater anymore. Why pay $12 or whatever it is now for the privilege of sitting next to crying babies or people who can't stop talking, when you can watch a good movie in the privacy and quiet of your own home?
I have not seen or heard anything on these lists and with the exception of Avatar (maybe for a buck at the moviebox) not planning on it either.
The entire list (with the exception of Avatar maybe for a buck at the moviebox) sounds like torture.
Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper should have been nominated for best actor in a T.V. comedy... JMHO
