...America meets the art of bagel making, weird things begin to happen. The old-school method of bagelmaking is to first boil the dough (high-gluten flour and yeast) for 60 seconds and then bake for about 15 minutes, a process that delivers a soft, chewy interior and a golden brown, crunchy exterior.

Since 1989, the Golden Globes have been 75 percent correct in predicting the Oscars in the four acting categories...
...donned brown contact lenses to cover up those baby blues and played a crazy animal rights activist in "12 Monkeys." Hollywood likes to reward people who break from typecasting, but remember when Winona Ryder was supposed to win Best Supporting Actress for "The Age of Innocence?" (She won the Golden Globe, but Anna Paquin won the Oscar...
