Award season has started, I think.
Last night was the first of the major entertainment award shows, the Golden Globes. This is usually held the first Sunday in the new year but with everything going on, it was much delayed. It was a very unusual and extremely awkward show as well. I don't think in terms of how everything was done but just a lot of the comments made. Now I wonder with the two hosts being on opposite sides of the county, will that be something we see going forward now or once things return to semi-normal, will shows like these resume their original format? I will have to say this was the 2nd time I've seen this show be awkward, the other time was during the writer's strike and it was basically 2 members of the HFPA reading off the nominees and winners on TV. It was not only awkward but extremely boring. This was close to that but not as bad, still not great. So, we shall see how this will play out in the future of live shows like this in the future!
There's a new store in town! Amazon Fresh! One just opened not far from me and RIGHT next to Costco. I mean you could park you car between the two stores and walk to both. They are no more than about 50-yards apart wall-to-wall. So what is Amazon Fresh? I have no idea but from the images I have seen and what a couple people have told me, a grocery store really. I heard the prices weren't anything special and you are still better off shopping at Costco (in bulk). There is also a Target down the street along with a Whole Foods (or could be Sprouts). Further more down the street in the other direction is Ralph's. What I have gathered, this would most likely effect stores like Whole Foods and Sprouts with their organic and small batch farm stuff but the bigger stores not really. To be fair shopping organic is not always the best thing to do (i.e.: bananas) because you don't eat the skin of a banana. Also things like oranges unless you zest (which I don't). But things like apples you may consider. If you ever see organic potato's, DO NOT BUY! Now that is scam because they grow underground!! I haven't seen organic potato's but you never know! Buyer beware!
A new #1 takes the box office crown this weekend! With a sizeable opening, Tom and Jerry earns 13.7 million for it's debut. A very solid and big number considering the current conditions. Drop down to #2 is "The Croods: A New Age" with 1.2 mil more and solidifying their 50 mil cume. Also dropping down to #3 is "The Little Things" with 925K and will continue to drop. Holding on to #4 is "Wonder Woman 1984" with 710K extra. Rounding off the top 5 is "The Marksman" with 700K and slowly falling off the mark.
