Well, this is interesting. The Golden Globes are tonight, and I’m unable to watch. I ditched cable for Netflix and HBO Now (so much better), and I figured NBC would stream the show like they do with other live shows. Hell, even the Academy Awards streams, and they’re a bunch of old fogies! But no. NBC has decided to throw a cable tantrum and hold the show hostage. I didn’t think I could hate the Globes more. So I’ll be watching vicariously through Twitter…
