About Me
- Declan Cashin
- I'm 28, from Kilkenny originally and living in Dublin for the past six years. I graduated with an MA in Journalism from DIT in 2006. I work as a feature writer for the Irish Independent and the Irish Examiner. I worked in the Irish Daily Star for 18 months as a news and features subeditor, before going full-time freelance in January 2008. Over the years I've also reviewed books for The Irish Times, as well wording it up for Gay Community News (GCN), the Sunday Tribune, the Irish Daily Mail, The Event Guide, The Dubliner and The Spanner, as well as UCD Today and UCD Connections magazines. I'm occasionally known to pop up on The Last Word on Today FM and on various shows on NewsTalk 106-108FM, such as Tom Dunne, Lunchtime with Eamon Keane, The Right Hook, Culture Shock, and Weekend Blend, and have also made censors nervous on Spin, Phantom and RTE 2FM on Dave Fanning's show. I've made some inroads into TV, appearing on The Morning Show with Sybil and Martin, and Midday (pre-Sisterhood takeover), both on TV3. Watch out Tubridy!

I can't see it happening. If they want to go the commercial route they have more suitable choices (by their standards, at least) such as Up, Inglorious Basterds and Avatar.
No doubt the Globes will bite, but that is where it shall end for The Hangover. I'm so confident that I would hand myself over as your slave if it ends up on the list of 10.
Slave you say? Intriguing...
I think you might be right.If they want a commercial comedy to nominate, they'd probably go for more "serious" actor fare like Julie and Julia or the other Meryl-rific movie It's Complicated which I'm seeing tomorrow!!
Yes...although perhaps they will see Inglorious Basterds fitting that role after its surprise box-office? I can't imagine they'll want a full-blown woman's film when it seems Nine, An Education and Precious will be nominated.
Do let me know how the film is! I'm quite excited, also half frightened...hoping it's not The Holiday 2!
