No Apatow

by Bill Graham
Hey Golden Globes, where are my boys? C'mon, '07 was the Summer of Seth, wasn't it? And Judd "The Smartest Man in Hollywood" Apatow scored a comedy hat trick with 'Knocked Up', 'Superbad,' and 'Walk Hard.' Has that ever been done before? I mean we're talking the Billy Wilder of dick jokes, the Mike Nichols of lowbrow. Well, I guess the Mike Nichols of Mike Nichols did get nominated, but that's a distinction without a difference, isn't it? And, JRile got a nom, but Judd is the man -- lifetime achievement in one year.
Anyway, think about it. The Golden Globes - it's about the gold. Who brought in the gold? It was Judd! Huge gold. I mean, excuse me, Bob "The Golden Compass" Shane and Robert "Lions For Lambs" Redford, but it's not about who can spend the most - it's about who can make the most, isn't it? I mean, give me $100 million dollars and I'll spend it for you, no problem. But who can take those train loads of cash to the bank? Judd, that's who!
By the way, Judd, if you're listening, I've got this script. It's superfunny. Call me, dude.
