SubscribePaging Ellen Page: The Golden Globes are calling!
Where will "Juno" breakthrough star and Golden Globes nominee for best actress in a comedy Ellen Page be tomorrow at, oh, say, around 6 p.m., when the winners are annnounced?
"Well actually I’m thinking I might go to Six Flags. It’s like a huge amusement park. Like really awesome roller coasters. So when I found out the Globes was cancelled I was like, 'Well I’m gonna go to Six Flags!' So I’m probably gonna be on roller coasters. I think I have a photo shoot in the morning, but then I think I’m gonna go and ride some roller coasters."
Is she disappointed?
"No. It is what it is, and worse things have happened in the world. A lot more people are being hurt by the strike a lot more than I am. It's -– I can’t do anything about it. I support the writers' … ahhh… whatever."
Yeah, whatever. But I bet she has her cellphone with her.

over-rated film and acting. Glad Golden Globe went to a deserving Actress

Agreed, Rob. Maybe the movie is out, since it only has two other set nominations, missed out on the often-critical DGAs, and has to contend the foreign-language but prestigious Diving Bell. The Academy lately is very much about giving BP nominations to the films they really feel are deserving, meaning that even if they get it wrong, they go for what delivers more often than what looks good on paper, receiving buzz simply for following a formula for awards success or resembling a previous hit. It would be interesting if the most buzzed-about writer of the year sees her film miss out on the BP (especially to Michael Clayton, still not as big of a threat in the screenplay category) in the year of the writers' strike.
I am getting sick of Ellen Page's look-at-me-I'm-so-real-but-I'm-not-realistic-even-by -non-Hollywood-standards shtick. Nominate Amy Adams, for God's sake. She's beautiful, charming, versatile, and a better actor - the whole package. The sad irony is that Julia Roberts stole her nomination 17 years ago for Pretty Woman.
