"W." the Musical … Wait, What?

Ok, I don’t think of the Iraq war as particularly hilarious, but apparently, Lionsgate does. It’s pushing “W.” in the comedy/musical category at this year’s Golden Globes.

It’s not the first for weird movie categories. Others include “The Mask of Zorro,” “Pride and Prejudice,” and “The Squid and the Whale.” Yeah, all those were laugh-out-loud funny, weren’t they?

The deadline for entries was a few days ago, and I haven’t heard whether the Hollywood Foreign Press Association went for it. Gee, I wonder how Oliver Stone will defend the category. He’s been doing back-flips trying to convince everyone it’s a serious movie.
