Preparing for The Golden Globes

My favorite picture from LAFCA last night.

Michael with 'The Descendants' screenwriter, Alexander Payne.

Winning the award for 'Best Actor' and 'Person Wearing the Shiniest Suit'.

Michael Fassbender looked like he enjoyed himself last night at the Los Angeles Film Critics' Award gala, he received a lovely plaque honoring his full body of work for 2011. That's even more complimentary than being singled out for one movie, but we know that Shame was the tipping point in the final months of 2011 to garner him respect and notice. I know that we have been a little bummed out in the past 24 hours with some award season rumors having some light shed upon them, but don't fret. We are all here to support Michael, wholeheartedly, no matter what. So stay chipper and positive, we will see this through to the end!

I have a few ideas rolling around in my busy mind, and I will share them with you in the coming weeks, after the AMPAS nominations. But before all that, I wanted to remind you about the Fassinating Fassbender Golden Globes Live Chat event, Sunday night, starting at around 7:30pm EST/4:30pm PST (or 12:30am GMT). The Golden Globes start at 8pm EST. I will be in the chat room along with other Fassinators, so please feel free to stop by. The chat will be open throughout the entire program. We will all discuss the Golden Globes of course, but if you have any questions you would like for me to try to answer, please share them at that time.

As a reminder, here are the nominees for Best Actor:
