Yes.  Almost all of them have 40+ years in the HFPA.  (This one you've posted is a freakin' newbie!)  They're OLD!  (I'm a baby boomer.  I can say that. LOL)  It's why I don't think we can count the GGs as a particularly accurate predictor for other upcoming awards.  They're such a unique voting group compared to the other awards.

Yet they have been historically considered an accurate predictor of Oscar winners in particular.

I'm already over Gaga and this award season has just started.

A-freakin-men. If she goes on and on like that for every red carpet greet this will be a looongggg awards season.  Her hair looks awful amd the dress would be pretty without those awful arm band things 

[Neeners]

Yay DVD! Loved him in Mary Poppins - I didn't know he was going to be in it and I'm pretty sure I yelled, "yay!" in his first scene.

[ABay]

Jesus, could Giuliana have sounded more patronizing with Dick van Dyke?

[ShadowHunter]

"This is a nut house" yea lol. 

[Neeners]

Eliabeth's hair looks like *poop emoji*

[ProudMary]

I LOVE Janelle Monae's fashion sense.  Pick any carpet in the past few years and I'll have her counted among my favorite looks.   I just love her.

Is Timothy Chalamet wearing a glittery harness?

It is baffling.

Kristen Bell looks gorgeous.

Hah! I was just thinking it was the best I'd seen her looking at an awards show! Although that was in reference to her dress.

I'm loving the HFPA coverage instead of the E!Red Carpet shit show (bye, Giuliana). The hosts are much better, and they're having more interesting discussions with the attendees - more genuine. It helps that Yvette Nicole Brown and Missi Pyle know some of their interviewees personally, and are able to have authentic interaction with them. 

[Bugaboo]

Is Julia Roberts wearing a fanny pack?

[Cupcake04]

wtf is that black on front of Julias dress?  lol. looks like shes wearing an apron?  i thought dress and hair was best she looked in years until they panned out and I saw the black apron?  wtf!!  lol

[ABay]

Halle Barry is stunning.

Bradley Cooper looks like hes channeling Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins with that suit. 

Good God, that suit is blindingly white.  I'd be afraid of spilling something on it.

Not loving Halle's look, but she herself is timeless.  Go Halle!

Anne Hathaway looks good from the neck up.  Not trying to sound cruel, but that leopard print ain't it.

[ProudMary]

Overall, the fashion tonight has been pretty underwhelming.  

[ShadowHunter]

It is still weird seeing Debra nominated again for Will and Grace. I do not care for her dress.

[ABay]

I enjoyed the podcast but couldn't make it through a full TV episode of Homecoming.

I totally agree.

[TVFan17]

I couldn't see what was on Julia's lower half, but I am impressed that she is still recognizable.  You can tell she is Julia Roberts -- but an older version -- because she hasn't yet succumbed to massive plastic surgery.  She has got some age on her face.

The fashion this year is so bad. Either completely boring, or just weird for the sake of weird. I remember watching these shows when I was younger and coveting all the gorgeous dresses, but this year there isn't a single one where I'm like "ooooh, I'd love to wear that".

That being said, I appreciate that Janelle Monae has a distinct aesthetic, and she sticks to it. Not always my cuppa tea, but I respect it all the same.

I’m loving what Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman are wearing.

[Chas411]

Hated the loser half of Julia Roberts dress but I think she looks great otherwise and part of that is because she doesn’t look botoxed to death.

Good the game ended on time.

I know that was a typo but it's so appropriate!

[Neeners]

Sandra looks great

[ProudMary]

Mahershala Ali's got the right idea.  Show up to the carpet at the VERY LAST MINUTE.  Wave and walk past all the interviewers.  LOL

[Arynm]

They have a clip up on people.com and I can barely hear it. I can tell that Chrissy is NOT a fan of Alison, just on by the way she briefly talks about her.

Should we call this Bitchgate?

[wallflower75]

Whew, got here just in time!

[Amethyst]

Sandra looks really good!  Love the red on her.

[TVFan17]

That is a great dress for Sandra.

[ABay]

That's it for me. See you at the next red carpet.

[Misslindsey]

I agree very much with Sandra and Andy's assessment of Michael B. Jordan.

[tennisgurl]

I literally cant decide who I find more attractive, Andy or Sandra. 

When did this Andy Samberg thing happen with me?!

[ebk57]

That Black Panther/Oakland bit was hilarious.  

 

@tennisgurl, Andy Samberg happened for me when Brooklyn 99 started.  

[tennisgurl]

Awwww, Sandra's parents!

[thuganomics85]

Was that Emma Stone that yelled "Sorry!", when Sandra Oh brought up Aloha?

[mojoween]

I’ve never seen Grey’s or Killing Eve but maybe I should?  Because Sandra Oh is super awesome right now.

I like Penelope Cruz's dress except for the tie part around the neck.

Catching up after Bear's loss (sad face).  It looked like she had a velvet backpack on.  Love Penelope Cruz, though.

I liked Gaga's dress, but not the blue hair.  But, that's Gaga. 

[tennisgurl]

Andy and Sandra seem like they're just having a grand old time. 

[cleo]

Sandra Oh is great, she is much better than Grey's. I havent seen her new show.

I'd skip Grey's and go with Killing Eve.  

Oh, also check out Sideways.  The movie was meh, but she was good.  And it's about wine...

Hey, Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway in the same frame!  The Devil Wears Prada reunion!

[tennisgurl]

Villanelle is having the best night of her life.

[Luvzmutt]

I don’t think the opening is that funny.

[tennisgurl]

Oh Andy. Too soon.

Allison Brie played Annie in Community, and now plays the lead in GLOW, a show about women professional wrestlers on Netflix.  Damn, even People Magazine is reporting that mic gaffe by Chrissie.  

Spotted Constance Wu's dress, not impressive.  Another dishwater colored dress and the top looks like a nude leotard you'd find at a department store.

Is Timothy Chalamet wearing a glittery harness?

How does Chrissie know Allison?  

Allison was also great in Mad Men.

[ebk57]

Thought the opening started kinda slow/weird, but ended really strong.

[mojoween]

Gasp!  Lucy Liu colored her hair!  It’s ... different.

Why are Bradley and Stefani presenting a TV award?

[Scarlett45]

Lady Gaga looks beautiful but the tan is too much. 

[wallflower75]

Damn, Sandra...that was awesome.

And now on to the awards...Michael Douglas, really??
