Gaga’s nomination, in fact, reeks of the kind of palm-greasing for which the Globes are famous: the intervention of publicists, impresarios such as Harvey Weinstein and the stars themselves, who sometimes bestow lavish gifts like watches on the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
It's definitely a fact that you can basically bribe the HFPA, although they've been trying to be more legit the last couple of years. I think Sony sends them members + guests on trips every year, for example.
but Gaga would have been nominated bribery or not just to get her to the show.
This sack of human rot released a song called GIGLI GIRLS this year. It sounded like desperation (for success). How did it fare on the year-end charts?
