We love to hate stupid Karen, spoiled Gretchen Weiners, and evil Regina George. Today the web has been exploding with quotes from the 2004 modern-day classic, Mean Girls. Good villians are more fun to watch than boring protagonists. We may have been rooting for Cady Heron to escape the dangerous…

Because award shows have become increasingly long, winners irrelevant and presenters a bore, I now skip watching the show altogether. As Joan Rivers will be happy to tell you, in Hollywood it's all about who you wear —not what you win.
