We pretty much enjoyed all these winners throughout all last year and glad to see newcomer Brooklyn Nine Nine get a win over perennial favorites.

We’d say plan accordingly, but it looks like we have already done that for you.

The HFPA just announced the nominations for next year’s Golden Globes Awards that, for comedy, includes Her, Wolf of Wall Street, Girls, New Girl, Modern Family, Inside Llewyn Davis, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Enough Said, Frances Ha, Veep, Parks and Recreation, and more.

Some of those nominees blur the lines for comedy/drama, but it’s even more surprising that decidedly more dramatic leaning films like American Hustle, Before Midnight, and August: Osage County got nominated in the  comedy or musical category.

What’s with Lake Bell’s In a World, a straight comedy, not getting any recognition versus films that are mostly dramatic?

1) The fact that the Golden Globes lumps Comedy with Musicals in their consideration for awards is just another reason why people shouldn’t care about the Golden Globes.

2) The Morning After… Podcast just got featured in the LOS ANGELES EXAMINER.  Check it out here.  Though it’s a hilarious look into the porn industry, I’m pretty sure this is not NSFW.

3) Have the Walsh Brothers STOP and Greg Barris STOP $2 fish tacos STOP $3-$4 beers until 9PM STOP and nothing, hopefully about the Golden Globes though that’s out of my control really STOP Go to Big Trouble in Little Tokyo @ Señor Fish (422 E. 1st St., Los Angeles, CA) STOP 6:30PM STOP or you’ll never STOP hitting yourself. 

4) OK, Golden Globes are OVER now folks-time for a COMEDY CRAWL

6) The Comedy Bureau “Tips Its Hat” today to LIZZ WINSTEAD-“@lizzwinstead Megan Fox is so brilliant she only feels safe letting very few people know about it. #GoldenGlobes” Lizz Winstead is one of the co-creators of the Daily Show.  I don’t think I really need to say more than that.  Check back at the Comedy Bureau for upcoming dates. Twitter. Website.

7) From the “You Should Have Been There” Lagoon: Chris Rock-Martin Luther King Boulevard

8) As I was not invited to the Golden Globes, I personally didn’t watch the Golden Globes as it’s the entertainment industry putting on a show for themselves and then making all of the world watch it, just like nearly any other awards ceremony.  It has nothing to do with me, really, and I’d rather do an open mic.
