So the nominees are in for the 2011 Critics’ Choice Awards, which, if you’re unfamiliar, are all about television (which I don’t really watch).

Another thing I don’t/didn’t really watch? The first Twilight movie. Actually, I’ve never seen ANY of the Twilight movies, but last night I had a little too much tequila and decided that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson would be good entertainment. Guys? I LIKED IT. I know, I could just die too. My life is probably, like, over now, but I can’t deny that I really enjoyed it. I know this has nothing to do with the Critics’ Choice Awards, but I had to get it off my chest anyway, OK?

    maybe next year when people realize how good it is and it draws in more viewers who haven’t necessarily read the books.
