A look back at the Golden Globe Awards
The current entertainment awards season officially kicked off last Sunday, Jan. 11, with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s (HFPA) 72nd Golden Globe Awards.
While underappreciated at times as a sort of an awkward younger sibling to the Academy Awards, the event typically honors a wider pool of talent and contributions. Where the Oscars tend to be more conservative and predictable, the Globes oftentimes produce more surprising outcomes.

No Time Like the Present
Tis the season to be, well, greedy. Christmas is a time of family, food and a break from the stresses of life, but the holiday emphasis is often on the gifts one will soon receive. While this is not a bad thing, Christmas can also be used to bless those in need both materially and spiritually.
