I live about 45 miles from Hollywood, but I might as well be a million miles away. I don't know what Hollywood is doing. Looking over the 63rd Golden Globe Award Winners, I have no idea what any of the winners did to deserve their awards, because just about every film and television show worthy of a nomination spent all of 2005 below my radar. My analysis:
