Let me start by saying I was wrong. Go ahead, rub it in my face. I was wrong, I have no idea what I’m talking about, blah, blah, blah. Now let me tell you how absolutely thrilled I am to be wrong! When faced with adversity (in real life and in my less important entertainment-based investments) I try to always stay optimistic. But when the going gets tough, I’m a realist at heart (I was lightly perspiring as Colin Firth took the stage). Sure Meryl won the Golden Globe (which was a complete shock to me, even though I was rooting for her all along), but I thought Viola had this one in the bag. And so did a lot of other people. The thing is I don’t even care that I was wrong. I’m over the moon for Meryl, I just hope she doesn’t use this award as a silent, slow segue out of the business.
