You know what’s happening this Sunday? It’s the Golden Globes! Yay! All the length of the Oscars with none of that boring critical significance!

But even though most of the world would rather crap out it’s spinal column than watch the Golden Globes, at least there’s one person who’s looking forward to it - Anne Hathaway. Anne’s up for an award and she’s JACKED about it!

And we know that this is our third Anne Hathaway story in two days. It’s just a quiet news day. That’s all. We’re not stalking her. There are papers saying we can’t to do that any more.

There’s more to Anne Hathaway than creepy criminal ex-boyfriends, a party-dampening mistrust of beloved public figures and a gaping loneliness so vast that she has to crawl to middle-aged lesbians for romantic guidance, you know. She’s also, apparently, an actress.

And not just an actress who only stars in gormless-looking red-font comedies about hilarious weddings, either – Anne Hathaway is a serious actress who occasionally stars in very serious films about grumpy people who mumble a lot. After all, that’s the way to win awards, we heard.

Which is why Anne Hathaway is up for a best actress Golden Globe for her role in Rachel Getting Married, which is an important film because a) it’s got a bad-tempered woman who hardly wears any make-up on it and b) we couldn’t even watch a two-minute preview of it without getting bored, losing track of what was going on and wondering what we’d have for tea.

But at least it’s earnt Anne Hathaway a Golden Globe nomination, which is either a tantalising portent of an Oscar victory or an impractically-shaped wedge of metal handed to you by some journalists with funny accents, depending on how you look at these things. Anyway, Anne’s totally PSYCHED about it, as she told the LA Times:

“I haven’t attended that many award shows in my life. The Golden Globes: I’ve [only] been [there as] part of film that’s been nominated – that’s actually the only time I’ve gone. It’s very exciting to be singled out for an individual performance. That hasn’t happened to me very much in my career.”

Well, we’re just thrilled for Anne Hathaway. But not as thrilled as we suspect the Golden Globes organisers are – this is the first recorded instance of someone expressing an interest in the show for over three decades. Honestly, if you took everyone on the planet who cared about the Golden Globes and bundled them into the boot of a car, it’s estimated that nobody at all would notice. Not even those people’s parents.

Anyway, just for her exuberance alone we hope that Anne Hathaway wins her Golden Globe, and then goes on to win an Oscar as well. And we’re saying that only because we want to see what she’s like in a relentless succession of bone-dry films about complex real-life international issues that nobody would ever dream of paying to watch. That’s how it works, isn’t it?
