my favorite sport is

movie-watching.

the Golden Globes are coming up, people. and if you know anything at all about me, kyle or the weird world we live in, you know that movie awards season is like our football season and the Oscars are like our SuperBowl. and i guess that would make the Golden Globes some kind of championship. i don't watch football, but whatever it is, i'm sure tim tebow would be involved. please don't hate me for my sports ignorance. anyway, here is a list of all the nominees, with my favorites in bold.
