Age of The Nerd
We are only a few weeks away from the 76th Golden Globes which will air LIVE on NBC on Sunday, January 6th@ 8PM. I’m not really fan of award ceremonies, but I will be watching. The talk of the town has been the announcement that Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut film “A Star is Born” has been nominated for several awards including a nod for Cooper for Best Director, and Lady Gaga for Best Actress in a Motion Picture.The film is good, very good in fact, and made my fiance cry, as well as, a few other ladies sitting in the same row as us also shed a few tears. Maybe I had a tear in my eye too, but I will not admit that here.
Bradley Cooper has long been rumored to play the lead in “Pandemonium”. Which is a film that will tell the story of World Wrestling Entertainment founder Vince McMahon and his rise to bring a stranglehold on professional wrestling to the masses. That’s right, Hollywood A-Lister Bradley Cooper is rumored to be playing McMahon. Bradley Cooper is a great actor but filling the shoes of a Titan could be daunting. WWE is a global brand and McMahon is known as one of the hardest workers in the world. Cooper has his work cut out for him if he accepts the role.
Award shows can be boring, and they can be entertaining if you’re into that sort of thing. WWE has earned its’ longevity being around for quite a long time now and has been known for creating global superstars that are known throughout the world. They are also a company that can be full of surprises when they feel it is needed, or even to make some headlines once and awhile.
What if Mr. Bradley Cooper is up there on that stage on January 6th talking or perhaps accepting his Golden Globe award and suddenly the lights go out. When they come back on a wrestler from Raw or Smackdown is standing behind Cooper with a steel chair in hand. The wrestler swings and the lights go out, and Cooper is laid out.across the stage! There would be no press release needed. The world would be talking.
“Pandemonium” is still a go with Glenn Ficarra and John Requa attached to direct. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are sure to take award season by storm. I’ve listened to their song “Shallow” four times now, just while writing this feature! I’ll say it is a hit for sure!
