So close to the ending now. So sad. :( http://i50.tinypic.com/2uhv5nr.png HER ANKLE.

Are we all just choosing to ignore that video where she says she hasn't even started writing the new album? :(

Her and her boyfriend are lovely and all but everything I've heard is just atrocious. :(

Leaning on the weaker side, but a welcome return. Lena Dunham/Girls won their respective categories at the Golden Globes. I suppose that is something.

Really? I was expecting something more inventive. FutureSex/LoveSounds was mostly brilliant, this sounds like the drivel towards the end of it.

There were manly tears on Monday night watching Amour, I won't lie.

Silver Linings Playbook did absolutely nothing for me. The Academy really are in love with David O. Russell, aren't they? Him over Affleck too? Christ. I do think Amour is one of the best films I've ever seen, although one of the most difficult to watch too. Harrowing. Emmanuelle Riva was stunning but will sadly lose out purely because of the hype that surrounds Jennifer Lawrence. Her performance was rather ordinary, so perfect for the Oscars then.

I am shocked at a lot of the cast for agreeing to this. :manson: Kate Winslet, really?

Just about. I really do like the first four, but the other two (and the new single with Tinie Tempah) are trash.

This is all a bit pants, isn't it? I feel like I've heard it all before.

:D Wonderful stuff and similar to mine I'd say (if I bothered making one).

I think we're all failing to mention how *amazing* the Official Charts Company Twitter account is! *.* ‏@officialcharts Sales of cassette singles, yes CASSETTE SINGLES, tripled in 2012 to ermm 604 units. Guess what the biggest seller was? @officialcharts Two of you have guessed Mr Blobby. WRONG! Guess again. @officialcharts Clue 2. 2012's biggest selling cassette single WASN'T Rik Waller, Michelle McManus, Fast Food Rockers, or Thomas The Tank audio book. @officialcharts Neither was it Lisa Scott-Lee's - TOO FAR GONE @officialcharts Sorry to disappoint hopeful Rachel Stevens fans but #OfficialChartFact: Biggest selling cassette single of 2012 was Border by @FeederHQ

EXCITEMENT. I'm still iffy about all the episodes being uploaded together. It'll all be over so quickly. :(

1 million > 500k > 100k is quite a drop in popularity for our Cheryl, eh?

Thrift Shop is actually doing well worldwide? I'm impressed. Secret guilty pleasure of mine for a while.

Ah, completely forgot about Nurse Jackie! This season was easily the best yet, especially after it had become borderline atrocious at one point.

Showtime are just too much. I really hope they don't drag Homeland out this long. However, this season has been the first decent one since season four.

Also expected some Christine Baranski snark from you! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AtgkeVbTPZg/UAzSMRl-yEI/AAAAAAAAA78/5y5rfVuWpzg/s1600/Diane%20Lockhart%20Glasses.gif

Blackwater! Yes! Not quite sure how I forgot to include that. I'm admittedly not the biggest fan of Game of Thrones (perhaps due to the genre and for some reason not really *feeling* this season until 'The Old Gods and the New') but it when it is good it is excellent.

People always ask me how I find the time to watch so much but I literally have to watch something before I go to sleep. :(

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2gas8kXwG1qgcra2o1_500.gif Obviously self explanatory and much alike the threads in the Film/Gaming forums. Favourite TV shows and episodes of the year? yXoILGnHnvM Mine: 01 Mad Men 'Signal 30', 'Far Away Places', 'The Other Woman', 'Commissions and Fees' 02 Breaking Bad 'Live Free or Die', 'Fifty-One', 'Buyout', 'Gliding Over All' 03 Homeland 'The Smile', 'Beirut Is Back', 'New Car Smell', 'Q&A' 04 Parks and Recreation 'The Debate', Win, Lose or Draw', 'Ron and Diane' 05 Girls 'Vagina Panic', 'All Adventurous Women Do', 'The Return', 'She Did' 06 Louie 'Daddy’s Girlfriend (Part 2)' 'Late Show (Part 3)', 'New Year’s Eve' 07 Veep 'Catherine', 'Chung' 08 The Walking Dead 'Seed', 'When The Dead Come Knocking' 09 Game of Thrones 'The Old Gods And The New', 'Valar Morghulis' 10 30 Rock 'The Beginning Of The End', 'Mazel Tov, Dummies!', 'My Whole Life Is Thunder' Notable mentions for Justified and New Girl (which started as a rather silly Zooey vehicle and has blossomed into a decent ensemble comedy). Another mention, although not as positive, for The Good Wife. It's the prime example of how one awful plot can completely derail a show. This season has made it hard to believe it was directly competing with cable drama at one point. Community is another that is a shadow of its former self, although perhaps understandably with all the on set shenanigans. Sad. f8oyl9c0oIA

Moonrise Kingdom The Master The Perks of Being a Wallflower Safety Not Guaranteed Looper The Perks of Being a Wallflower was shockingly good. Still so many left to see though - Argo, Life of Pi, Zero Dark Thirty, Silver Linings Playbook, Django Unchained etc.
