The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[ProudMary]

Roma is a gorgeous film and an incredible cinematic achievement for Cuaron.  He did EVERYTHING on the film.  All that said, I found the first half of the film quite boring but I'm glad I stuck with it because the second half is riveting.  You can't stop thinking about the film after you've seen it.  It just stays with you.  I'm pleased for him.  

And while I won't be upset if Roma wins the Oscar, I'm rooting for Black Panther. :)

HE'S 76 - that's nuts! Also, while cranky sometimes, he still has a pretty sharp sense of humor. 

Fun fact: When I was 12, I had the biggest crush on Harrison  (he was like, 55 at the time), and when all my friends had posters of NSYNC and Jonathon Taylor Thomas on their bedroom walls, I had posters of Harrison Ford in all his middle-aged glory. Anytime I had a sleepover, my fellow 6th graders thought I was super weird.

Working a Girl is one of my favorite movies. He is looking mighty fine in that film! 

[leighdear]

Aaaaah, Sam.  

[thuganomics85]

Yay, Sam Elliot!  Still bummed that he didn't get nominated here, but hopefully he'll sneak into the Oscars.

[TVFan17]

As much as I love  Bradley Cooper,  I think they might pick Rami Malek as the best actor.

Jeff Bridges was quite the babe when he was younger. I've only ever known him as a middle aged-older guy, but he was pretty handsome.

Oh hell yeah he was. I remember back in the day feeling sorry for Beau, because Jeff got all the looks in the family.

[Neeners]

OK that break out the tissues line is the best of the night.

I haven’t seen a Star is born. Mostly because I was getting sick of hearing or reading about how great it is. Like look I’m sure ya quite good but just everyone telling me it’s so great doesn’t drive me to see it. Sometimes I can’t with that. 

Truthfully I haven't seen it either, but I am just sick of my neighbour and their friends singing Shallow at the top of their drunken voice every damn weekend AND the fact the soundtrack stayed forever at #1 in my country. 

[tennisgurl]

I apologetically love A Star is Born. I know that people will get sick of it this Awards season (and I totally get it) but I love it so damn much! Melodrama and all.

[mtlchick]

Oh great.  I'm going to have THAT in my head watching This Is Us when it returns.  

[TVFan17]

I'm just saying... if you haven't seen the movie Lifeguard (from the '70s), look it up.  Sam Elliott is saving lives and breaking hearts on the beach.

And with Alfonso winning and the fact I cheered that Bradley Cooper lost, I guess it's official A Star is Born is the movie I am going to love to hate this award season.

I'm with you on this. I loved Babs in the 76 version, and I think this remake is completely pointless and unnecessary. Also, I find Gaga insufferable (despite liking her music), so I hope they don't win a single thing for these very petty reasons. Also, I have not seen the movie, so my opinion is completely irrelevant.

I knew it was going to be Rachel, but I so wanted it to be Alison Brie after I heard what went down with Chrissy at the Red Carpet.

[tennisgurl]

Kristen Bell: "THIS is the Bad Place!"

I kid, love you Rachel!

Being a Hamilton fan, especially the original broadway cast, I mainly went to see Star is Born for Anthony Ramos.

I really wanted Kristin Bell to win. I grew so tired of Rachel Brosnahan's character during this past season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

I heard some rumblings about that, what went down?! Dish!!!!

Was really hoping for an Alison Brie win for some DRAMA on stage!

I didn't want to see it because I remember loving its predecessor (yum Kris Kristofferson), but after seeing some previews  when watching other movies in theaters, I wanted to see it.  Was blown away by the music and particularly Bradley Cooper's singing.  I was not surprised by Gaga, but I was by Bradley.  Good movie.  Love the music.  

[dbell1]

Was hoping for an awkward moment between Chrissy and Alison...

I saw Lady Gaga open for New Kids On The Block in 2008 (you read that right!)  Never thought she would be a few steps away from Oscar but the SAG nomination comes from other actors, so she has the support right now. If she wins that in a few weeks, I don't think anyone can stop her.

So now I have to watch The Kominski Method too? Come on, I have to get some sleep!

My best friend got married on July 13, and my sister and I tried to persuade her to run down the aisle with a boulder chasing her. She wasn't having it though.

Sigh, I really wanted a The Good Place win.

Oh yeah, Roadhouse! As the mentor to philosophical bouncer Patrick Swaze! He is freaking amazing, as is EVERYTHING about Roadhouse.

Don't remember the full story, but something about Chrissy being overheard saying Alison was a "bitch" over her mic.

It's hilarious, but too many "old men and peeing" lines.  Worth the watch though.

I didn't know he was in it until I was at the movie and said out loud - wow, Anthony Ramos!  

I liked the elements of the movie - directing, acting, songs - but the whole didn't hang together for me for some reason that I have yet to pinpoint.  And for the record, I call the Babs version A Star Is Stillborn.  I hated it (and I love Babs).  The Judy version is the gold standard for me.

Chrissy tweeted that the story is completely fabricated and she would never say a bad word about Alison. I watched a clip of the moment and didn't hear her say that. I could be wrong, I don't hear so well. But Chrissy says it's a lie.

[mojoween]

My wedding anniversary is July 13!  And we got married around the time that poster had the pictures of 55 year old Harrison on her wall, heh.

If Jeff Bridges was in a movie in 1958 that means he had to be closing in on 70, can that be right?

The Maisel show doesn’t look at all interesting to me.  The Emmy and GG love is baffling me.

They just showed some preview of a fosse show with Michelle Williams? Like for real?

And the breathy voice over for the movie promo. I remember it still! 

 

I adore Mrs Maisel, it’s beautifully done.

Google says Jeff Bridges just made 69 in December.

Damn my local NBC station--it cut off Dick Van Dyke's introduction!!!

[Misslindsey]

Aaaawwww a standing ovation for Dick Van Dyke.

Gina Rodriguez looks like she is seriously geeking at out seeing Dick Van Dyke, and Carol Burnett looks so happy!

While everyone is giving Dick Van Dyke the standing ovation, I like to believe that shot of John Krasinski was him going "Your'e all I see, babe!" to Emily Blunt.

Damn I was really rooting for Sharp Objects for that but congrats to American Crime Story! 

[mojoween]

When is a movie with Halle Berry and Lena Waithe coming out?  Because I would watch the hell out of that.

[WhosThatGirl]

I totally forgot how many people were in American crime story.
