Just when you thought there couldn't be any more awards shows.

Now you can vote for the first-ever Globies, where the red carpet looks more like green.

And, there's no paper trail as votes are cast through the Internet on the Web site of Environmental Defense, the group sponsoring the Globies.

Arnold Schwarzenegger may have been overlooked by the Oscars as an actor, but the Terminator has a fighting chance here. He's among other state govs who are up for a Globie. But Schwarzenegger is the only one who signed a bill capping green-house gas emissions from industries, the first in the nation.

You can also vote for your favorite corporation, among them General Electric and Yahoo, which recently unveiled its Green Center that rates cars for their global warming and smog emissions.

And of course, what would an awards event be without a documentary category that includes Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," or "Happy Feet," the animated film about penguins. Both are up for the real Oscar this Sunday night. Wonder how they'll do over the weekend.

Results of the Globies will be announced Friday. Stay tuned.
