My Golden Globs of Snot


After a prolonged absence in which we went up and down temples in the set of Apocalypse Now, Cambodia, and The King and I, Thailand, and I came back with a terrible sinus infection I ascribe to accidentally snorting beer, here are the people who I consider should be rewarded for their acting and directing in movies this year:
