Jennifer Lawrence's News and Notes 1.13.14


Jennifer Lawrence picked up another Golden Globe last night and looks to be in position to win a second Oscar this year. The girl is dominating at age 23. There seems to be little doubt left that she'll soon be Kentucky's most famous product if she isn't already.

Writing Quest 2014

Last week I mentioned that we plan to finish a faith-based feature script by the end of the year. Well, there are plenty of other unfinished scripts that I'd like to polish off as well. One isn't good enough for 2014. Therefore, in the quest to make time where there is none, I will write at least one hour everyday. Starting today. Every writer on Earth will tell you that you have to simply get words on paper everyday. I've known it for years, but today I put it into practice. I know I can find an hour, even if I have to grab it 10-15 minutes at a time. My quality time with Twitter is certain to suffer.

Golden Globes

Right off the bat... Andy Samberg won?
I LIKE Andy Samberg, but...
Andy Samberg???

Let me list every nominee in his category... Don Cheadle, Michael J. Fox, Jason Bateman, and Jim Parsons (who they give an Emmy every year just for showing up). I honestly would have guessed Samberg would have been at the very bottom of that vote tally. Obviously, I need to check out Brooklyn Nine-Nine to get some idea of what happened.


I got to see bits and pieces last night. The opening monologue was good stuff from Amy and Tina. My favorite joke was a well constructed jab at another Kentucky native...  (skip to 5:02)



Oh, Clooney.

Last night was a further reminder of how many films I need to see. Say what you will about Hollywood, it may be top-heavy on quality, but the cream of the crop has been very, very good for the past couple of years. Credit where it's due. Of course, the rest is still a garbage fire.
