Analysis: Golden Globes' celebration of 'Vice' collides with Bush funeral's celebration of virtue
LOS ANGELES - Hollywood figuratively crashed the funeral Thursday.
Even as President George H.W. Bush was being laid to rest in Houston following a final service and several days of heartfelt eulogies, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association celebrated the movie "Vice," a scathing biopic that blames former Vice President Dick Cheney - and the man who empowered him, George W. Bush - for much of the modern world's problems.
Although it has yet to be released, or even reviewed, "Vice" led all movies with six Golden Globes nominations - best picture comedy, nods for Adam McKay's direction and screenplay and acting recognition for Christian Bale, who plays Cheney; Amy Adams who plays his wife, Lynne; and Sam Rockwell as George W.
