Well, like the Academy, the globes are an industry organization, and not a public trust. They can do what they want.
"A movie about the American dream, set in America, starring an American, directed by an American, and produced by an American company, is somehow foreign." What Foreign Language Film category, Karen? Based to this method, Americans are now considered as a foreigners in their own country. Hey, does that mean am an American too? If so, can I have my $600.00 please, please, please!
