Have you written something that you KNOW is good, but need help getting the word out?
Do you have a book manuscript that deserves to be published, but no one is willing to give it a look?
Do you have a screenplay that has the makings of a really great movie, but Hollywood producers and agents just don’t give a damn?
The Unsung Critic is here to help. If your work measures up, if it is truly worthy in his eyes, then he will do his part and tell the world.

Casualties of war
I'm sure to be in the minority on this, especially among fellow WGA members, but come on, guys...this is a freaking awards show, a venue where people in front of and behind the camera can get a little recognition and respect for their achievements. It's not all about starlets flaunting designer gowns and dresses, no matter how much attention the press gives them. In case you haven't noticed, screenwriters get awards there, too...
If this was about some Hollywood would-be blockbuster, with the studios and producers shafting writers from getting their fair share, I wouldn't feel so bad. (And don't.) But the Golden Globes, slight though they might seem in the company of Oscars and Baftas, were designed to celebrate movies, television, and the talents that went into them.
Think of it like the Olympics. Even during times or war, opposing nations would come together and put their politics behind them in celebration of sport. (Oh wait, there was that nasty business in Munich back in 1972... Glad to see we're all following that lovely example, even if it is just in spirit.)
