Awards Season Is Upon Us

I've dropped all of my streaming subscriptions - except hulu, which is included in my cell phone package. I rarely go out to movies, and there's nothing much on "regular" TV but some old sitcoms and the occasional sportsball game.

I've kinda isolated myself from a big part of the culture.

So when the (eg) Golden Globes come out, I have a vague sense of disconnect because while I have some passing familiarity with most of the shows, I don't think I've actually seen any of them. 

And that can be a problem, because there have been plenty of movies and shows over the years that I've really liked that could never be thought of as "mainstream". I guess I should be looking for a way to tap into the lesser known works, to keep myself better apprised of what's going on so I don't "miss out" on something that could be important (?)

Sorry - I'm just randomly rambling. Trying to figure out if I should make more of an effort, or just let it go. It is a puzzlement.
