The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[dubbel zout]

Malek was wonderful. I wonder if the show is just too out there for voters.

[Thumper]

I thought Jon Hamm did a great job and should have been awarded earlier, so happy to see him win tonight.

Okay, I'm tired of the cuteness of Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence.

[mtlchick]

If this is supposed to be things to come of the Schumer/Lawrence script they wrote, I'm going to pass.  Oy, that was painful.

[Ohwell]

Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence.  So not funny.  Shut up.

The more I see Amy Schumer, the more I dislike her. Same goes for her gal pal J-Law.

[benteen]

Ugh Amy and Jennifer who both find themselves too precious for words.

 

Ugh.  Amy thinks she's a feminist and Jennifer likes to get attention for herself by tripping at awards shows.

[Misslindsey]

I normally like Jennifer Lawrence, but this is a bit much.

I agree. I would have been happy for a Rami win as well. I would have liked pretty much anyone in the category to win. I liked them all.

[ByaNose]

Amy is like Lena Dunam. Can't stand them both. JLaw looks pretty but her hair looks purple. Maybe, it's my tv.

[Ohwell]

Yay Matt Damon I guess.

[thuganomics85]

Amy and Jennifer sure are full of themselves too, huh?  Normally indifferent to Amy and I usually like Jennifer, but this wasn't working for me at all.  I actually agree with Gervais more or less suggesting that seem more concern about everyone knowing they are friends, instead of actually being friends.

 

Ha!  Matt Damon wins best actor for the hilariously, wacky movie about a man trying not to die on Mars!

Matt Damon wins for "a comedy."  To the 80 journalists who voted, how drunk were you just to nominate him?  I liked the movie but COME ON.  

[tallyrand]

I'm kind of ehh on Matt Damon's win.

[Indigo Luna]

I HATE the "kids go to bed" shit 

[Misslindsey]

I was hoping for a Steve Carell win, since I really liked The Big Short.

 

 Where is Ricky I am sure he has something to say.

[topanga]

Ugh Amy and Jennifer who both find themselves too precious for words.

I thought they were funny at first, but their bit went on too long. 

 

What did Amy say people usually call her? And what was Jennifer's response? I couldn't read their lips.

See You Next Tuesday... or the "C" word

[ByaNose]

I didn't know Matt was gray. Is his movie really a comedy? Haven't seen it yet.

[wallflower75]

Seriously feeling old.  It's been eighteen years since Good Will Hunting.  *sob*

[Misslindsey]

I blame Taylor Swift for the 'I am best friends with everyone thing'. Though to be fair I generally blame Taylor Swift for everything, and well, Comcast.

This stuff about "Mars" being a comedy makes me want to see the movie.  So ... there's that, at least.  I am dying to see how anyone would think this movie was a comedy.

[tallyrand]

Christian bale looks really handsome and happy.

[Sugar]

J-Law was charming when she first came out on to the scene...now she's trying way too hard. 

 

So happy for Jon Hamm, even though I did love RM in Mr. Robot - Hamm did amazing work in the last season of Mad Men. 

[jcin617]

I love Matt Damon and "The Martian", but still side-eye the 'comedy' category. But congrats!

[wallflower75]

Steve Carell is one of those actors I didn't care for in the beginning, but I've become very impressed with his work in the last couple of years.  I loved The Big Short and was rooting for him (nothing against Matt Damon, because I really liked The Martian, but it WASN'T A COMEDY).

[Artsda]

She's actually friends with her people though. lol Amy and Jennifer came across so forced. 

 

I'm happy for Matt Damon, just don't get how he won for comedy. lol

[Indigo Luna]

Jennifer Lawrence seems like she has to constantly top herself with how "quirky" and "relatable" she is. And its a turn off. 

[Ohwell]

I didn't know Matt was gray. Is his movie really a comedy? Haven't seen it yet.

There were some light moments but, no, it is not a comedy.  Like someone upthread said, the foreign press members must have been drunk.  Either that or they don't understand the concept of FUCKING GOING TO MARS!

 

Oh shit.  Brad Pitt.

This nonsense about "Mars" being a comedy makes me want to see the movie.  So ... there's that, at least.

It is actually a good movie, in my opinion, and it even had some good laughs.  It's just not what I would consider an actual comedy.

 

Sometimes, I really feel like the Globes wants the categories to actually be "Prestigious, Serious Dramas that Have only Been Seen By Few" and "Mainstream Films that have enough Great Qualities, that they Work at Being Called Great Films."

[Indigo Luna]

Yay Inside Out won!! That movie is amazing!

[Celia Rubenstein]

What's her name, Goldie Hawn's daughter ... looks like she just stepped out of a sauna.

[Artsda]

Aww at Kate presenting with her dad. Cute.

[tallyrand]

Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson were adorable. Favorite presenter duo of the night!!!

[ByaNose]

Kate Hudson is a cutie. She needs another big movie hit. Kurt looks awesome, too.

You explained my problem with J-Law a lot better than I did.

 

I was a big fan of Amy Schumer when she burst onto the scene (used to hear her on Opie and Anthony a lot).  She was a legitimately funny comedian.  But then she started hearing critics calling her a feminist and she started actually believing she was.  The worst is her throwing in with the Social Justice Warriors (which certainly wasn't her MO a few years ago).  The SJW's have already gone after her for her jokes and it's only a matter of time before they completely turn on her.

[Thumper]

Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt bit is funny!

[mtlchick]

Ryan and Brad together?  Who let the fangirls in all of a sudden? (Not that I mind...Brad lost 10 years now that he dumped the beard.) 

[Fostersmom]

Did Brad use Channing's barber? 

[absnow54]

Why does Brad Pitt look younger than Ryan Gosling?

[ByaNose]

A tux really makes the man, doesn't it?

[tallyrand]

Brad had work done right? He looks really good but it's disconcerting. He looks so young!

[ByaNose]

Arqutte's bow is a miss.

[mtlchick]

ADRIAN!  HE WON ADRIAN!!!  

 

The Oscar is his to lose. 

[Fostersmom]

Good for him. He seems genuinely surprised. 

[Celia Rubenstein]

Aww at Kate presenting with her dad. Cute.

 

Wait, what?  Your post made me roll back the DVR thinking I was so distracted by Kate's sweaty appearance and melted hair that I didn't notice she was standing next to Bill Hudson, her bio dad (who she is majorly on the outs with).  LOL I was happy to see you were referring to Kurt Russell.  Bill Hudson is a major dick haha

[Thumper]

WHAT did Sylvester Stallone win for? I missed it. I thought Mark Rylance was great in Bridge of Spies.

[Artsda]

Ryan and Brad was a lot of handsome to take at once.

 

Yes! Sly Stallone for Creed! 

[Celia Rubenstein]

YAY SLY!!!!!

[SeanC]

Yay, Stallone. I never thought I'd see the day when you would be my choice for best supporting actor, but you were awesome in Creed.

[benteen]

Slater winning for Mr. Robot and not Malek reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence winning an Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook and not Bradley Cooper.  Don't get me wrong, Slater was very good in Mr. Robot but Malek's performance was mesmerizing and is the one that should have been recognized.  Lawrence's performance in Silver Linings was average at best while Cooper's was mesmerizing.

 

Hey, Stallone won!  Way to go!

Aaaawww. This is nice, even though I went to the movie to see Michael B. Jordan, because I love him.
