I'm pretty sure anyone with a pulse wants Matt Bomer.

The media picked up on the Hugh Grant mistake.

Golden Globes: Announcer Accidentally Introduces Hugh Grant as Winner

I think they screwed up Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman's introduction too. They said Nicole was in Wild.

[reggiejax]

I am certain Goldie Hawn is just doing some schtick. But someone should tell her that the whole "cutie pie ditz" persona that served her so well for many years, really doesn't work at 70. And it clearly makes people think she is either drunk or having a senior moment.

Can't tell if Amy and Goldie are going by script or it's just that terrible!

That was odd.  I thought they turned a mistake Goldie made and went with it at first, now I am not sure either. 

[Artsda]

I love Matt Bomer.

That was a surprisingly personal speech by Ryan. He normally doesn't talk about his private life with Eva.

[bunnyblue]

Man, I always wanted Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams to stay together. And chiming in late to the debate upthread: I prefer Gosling to Reynolds.

[Thumper]

Awww, Goldie, I still love you!  You have made it from Laugh-In's ditsy blonde in a bikini to respected actress.  You are You.

So Goldie is drunk, right?

Isn't she always?

I hate how all the supporting roles for television are lumped into one category.

 

Wait what?  Is that why "This Is Us" was in the same category with "The Night Manager?"  That's stupid.

[ShadowHunter]

Aww that was a sweet speech Ryan Gosling made. 

[Mountainair]

What a great a acceptance speech just then by Gosling. 

 

I remember Ryan Reynolds from 2 guys and a Girl? I think that was the name of the show on ABC like a million years ago. I thought he was cute then and I was probably 12!

Sweet Jesus, Matt Bomer is just too pretty for words.

The new highlight of the night for me. I just love staring at him. He's made me watch movies I never would have otherwise (coughMagicMikeXXLcough). 

[Arynm]

I found Goldie hysterical and adorable. Even Amy was funny trying to reign her in. I couldn't decide if it was a bit or not.

[Wings]

At least we don't have to watch Falon.  Looking forward to Kimmel hosting the Oscars.

[Misslindsey]

I would take both Gosling and Reynolds. Don't make me choose!

I think even dead people wouldn't turn that down.

[Browncoat]

Not a fan of Felicity's dress.

[thuganomics85]

Ah, the yearly appearance from the stars of a movie that didn't get any nominations, but grossed more then all the nominees combined!

[Browncoat]

I loved La La Land, but I wish Moonlight would get some love.

I feel the same way about Hell or High Water (but I do love La La Land).

[bunnyblue]

Aw, poor Emma Stone tried to hug that guy and it turned awkward. BTW, her dress is pretty but the color is all wrong.

Marlee Matlin apparently agrees with you:

[mojoween]

I got SUPER tired of all of the hype for "La La Land" over the last five months and that has not abated.  (I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly and that is all they have talked about and they made me hate it.)

I'll wait for it to hit HBO.

[Browncoat]

Agreed about Hell or High Water.  It surprised me how much I liked that one.

[thuganomics85]

La La Land's screenplay was probably one of the weaker elements.  Haven't seen Manchester by the Sea or Moonlight yet, but I would probably have picked Hell or High Water over it.  Oh, well.

Wow, I knew this was only Damien Chazalle's second film ever, but he's got quite the babyface.  Like "I wonder if he still gets carded at bars" babyface.

[Chrissytd]

Maybe it's because I'm not a musical person, but La La Land doesn't look appealing to me.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I'd be more willing to watch lala land (lalaland? la la land?) if it was Reynolds instead of Gosling. And I like musicals! But this one is about as appealing to me as the movie version of Chicago, and Moulin Rouge. 

Kristen Wiig is wearing a human doily. :-o

[DHDancer]

Ugh, what's with the see through lace trend?  Not good on camera...

Ha!

I love Steve Carell.

Have the Oscar nominations been announced yet?  Because "La La Land" sounds like a lock for a nomination and one of the front-runners for the win.

Other than West Side Story, same here.

Who doesn't?  I'd love to give him a crack at hosting one of these award shows just to see what he could do with it.

[Artsda]

Steve Carell should host in the future.

[DHDancer]

Too funny.  I got appreciation for Kristen Wiig after seeing Paul (several times).  And Steve Carrell in Little Miss Sunshine.  

[MVFrostsMyPie]

If Thandie Newton couldn't win, well, at least Zootopia won.

[Browncoat]

Yay, Zootopia!  It was a tough year for animated films -- so many really good ones to choose from.

[thuganomics85]

Talk about a win/lose for me.  I get to be happy that Zooptopia wins, but sad Moana looses.  Dammit, Disney: why couldn't you release them at different times?!

[Ohwell]

Honestly, I'm not even paying attention to who wins.  

[Misslindsey]

I would love some sort of combo of Steve Carell/Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert as hosts. Some people work better when they can bounce jokes off of each other, though it does not work for everyone. Anne Hathaway and James Franco Oscars for example.

I wanted a Moana win. 

Edited January 9, 2017 by Misslindsey

[Browncoat]

It's about to get dusty in here...

[mojoween]

I'm surprised Moana did not win.  I truly thought that Lin-Manuel's name alone would give it a push.

Did that guy say he has been married for 28 years?  Did he get married when he was eight?

[mtlchick]

(Tears up) I'm just getting over watching Bright Lights last night. Now this?! Ugh. 

[bunnyblue]

I'm not crying, you're crying!!

[Diana Berry]

Small but touching tribute

[ShadowHunter]

Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds was a hard one.  It was nice they paid a small tribute to them.

[Craphole Island]

Man Steve Carell and Kristen Wiig had me crying laughing. I thought that was hilarious.

Same here, and the show really needed that lift.
