The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[SeanC]

I was rooting for Alicia, but I haven't seen able to see Kate's movie, since it bombed and didn't ever get to a theatre near me.

 

Ricky is certainly not holding back tonight (even when, re the trans stuff, maybe he should have).

Channing Tatums hair resembled George McFly.

I meant to watch Ex Machina this weekend but didn't get the chance--I hear she's great in it.  But I did get to see Steve Jobs and Kate was terrific, glad to see she won.

[Indigo Luna]

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson looks great!

[Fostersmom]

Holy shit,  there's a BUNCH of horrible facelifts going on tonight. 

[Misslindsey]

I like Maura, but her hair is a mess. It looks like mine when I get out of bed.

[ByaNose]

JLo doesn't look good in yellow. No one does. IMO!

[Fostersmom]

I "hate" beng a 4 eyes so I picked these ginourmous frames for my glasses. 

[Indigo Luna]

She looks like a jar of mustard. 

[thuganomics85]

Classic Ricky Gervais, for better and worse.  Not all of his jokes land, but some due, and it nothing else, I am amused how easily he seems to offend the crowd.  I just wonder if he'll actually be back for more, or is he suddenly going just disappear like he did last time he hosted.

 

On the other hand, the Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill "skit" was just stupid.  It really came off like something those two came up with on the spot, while drunk off their minds.  At least that is over with.

 

I guess Kate Winslet's win means Steve Jobs is totally out of the picture, despite it's less then stellar box office returns.

 

I keep hearing The Affair is technically good, but it's so depressing and the characters are so unlikable, that I really don't have an investment to watch.

[wallflower75]

And wore them to an awards show rather than do what I do most other days of the year, which is wear contact lenses.

 

Aaaah, I shouldn't mock.  There's probably a good reason why she wore them.

[Misslindsey]

Andy Samberg amuses me.

 

Well it looks like no second season for Scream Queens, since Jamie Lee Curtis claimed it would if she won.

[SeanC]

The HFPA are the only awards voting body who watch the CW, it seems.

[loriro]

JLo doesn't look good in yellow. No one does. IMO!

 

Michelle Williams wore a mustard yellow dress to the Oscars years ago and it was gorgeous!  But in general, yeah... yellow doesn't do many people many favors. 

 

Who is this woman and what is "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"?  Never heard of either. 

[Misslindsey]

 

The HFPA are the only awards voting body who watch the CW, it seems.

Maybe someone should direct them to another network or streaming service.

 

Okay, Rachel Bloom is annoying me. I did not like My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend after two episodes so I dropped it.

[ByaNose]

It's on the CW. What's the CW?

[mtlchick]

See Youtube upstarts?  You actually have hope!  Just hope you're the next ingenue that the Golden Globes like to ping!

[Misslindsey]

HFPA always seem to like what is new and shiny.

[wallflower75]

One thing that drives me nuts about the Golden Globes is the total randomness with which they give out the awards.  They start out with supporting actress in a film, then go to a couple other acting awards, then Best Comedy!  WTF??

 

Oh--and Mozart in the Jungle wins!  Yay!  I like that show a lot.

[thuganomics85]

Don't kid me, Samberg!  The Doof Warrior playing at the Globes would be the greatest thing ever!!!  Anything else will be MEDIOCRE!!!

 

I'm guessing Crazy Ex-Girlfriend will be getting a renewal now.  The CW might not care about ratings, but they love those shiny Globes!

[Ohwell]

I know Rachel Bloom was excited but she was annoying as hell with her acceptance speech.  I had to bail out of her show about halfway through the season

[mtlchick]

I'm not sure if I like Viola's dress in the front...but then I see the back and I'm like "I want her back." 

[Sugar]

Rachel Bloom was very annoying and frantic.

 

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum went too long with it - did the censor beep Jonah?

 

Damn, Viola Davis looks amazing!

[SeanC]

Maybe someone should direct them to another network or streaming service.

Both of the shows they've awarded from there have received enormous critical acclaim.

[Laurie4H]

Wow I can usually guess almost every winner but I was wrong each time so far. Random wins.

[Misslindsey]

I am not wild about Viola's dress. I usually like her fashion choices. She looks amazing otherwise.

I am aware that they have. I watched half of season of Jane the Virgin. Casting and acting were great, just got bored with the story. I did not love much about My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend though. I could understand a Gina Rodriguez win more than a Rachel Bloom, but I am not in the HFPA so my opinion does not matter.

It's my favourite garbage man, Matt Damon!  (That line still kills me.)  

[Fostersmom]

Wait, The Martian was really nominated as a comedy? I was sure that was a bit. 

[Misslindsey]

I loved that line too. Matt is handling The Martian as a comedy jokes well.  I liked the Ben Affleck joke as well.

 

Ooh Wolf Hall! I love that show.

Not a bit. It was nominated as a comedy. Yeah, ponder on that.

Edited January 11, 2016 by Misslindsey

[mtlchick]

So many shows that I can't see due to not having their streaming service.  I have Netflix, I don't need Amazon, or Hulu...and yet I need them to catch up. 

[Ohwell]

Viola's dress made her look tall and old.  Plus she sort of clumps when she walks.

[emma675]

I had to mute Rachel Bloom's speech about 10 seconds in. She was so shouty and frantic and annoying.

[Unusual Suspect]

Wait, The Martian was really nominated as a comedy? I was sure that was a bit. 

 

Same. Huh, that's weird.

[thuganomics85]

Ah, The Martian is a comedy, huh?  Classic Golden Globes!  Seriously, I really enjoyed the film and it did have its funny moments, but comedy?  Yeah.... I wouldn't call it that.  I think even Matt Damon would agree, although I think he was thrown off by the Gervais' Ben Affleck joke.

 

Shit, Fargo lost.  Better luck at the Emmys!

 

Did I hear that right?  The BBC is in trouble?  No!!

[wallflower75]

Wait, The Martian was really nominated as a comedy? I was sure that was a bit. 

 

It sure was.  I can understand nominating The Big Short as a comedy--there were plenty of laughs there even if it wasn't a comedy in the strictest sense--but The Martian?  It has a few funny moments, but come on.

 

Wolf Hall!!  Yes!  I loved that miniseries--I thought it totally got the shaft at the Emmys last year.

[Sugar]

Why is Amber Heard so shiny??? Jesus.

[mtlchick]

Thanks Jamie Alexander for the S bomb...you will now see NBC taking a cut out of your pay this week o deal with the FCC. 

Edited January 11, 2016 by mtlchick

[Fostersmom]

Oops. 

[Misslindsey]

 

Did I hear that right?  The BBC is in trouble?  No!!

I heard that as well. Say it isn't so! 

[wallflower75]

You gotta love how the announcer's saying "here are all these people who are here..." and yet none of them are who the camera's focused on.

[thuganomics85]

First technically clusterfuck of the evening!  Leading Jaime Alexander to drop f bombs like a person who is currently heading NBC's biggest new show, and doesn't give a, well, fuck.

 

And there is Oscar Issac, winning and strolling up like a man who just co-starred in the top grossing movie of all time (domestically, of course.  James Cameron is still king of the world!!!!!)

[Artsda]

LOL at Matt Damon, he didn't know what to do after the  Ben Affleck joke. He was amused.

Edited January 11, 2016 by Artsda

[Fostersmom]

Did she drop a f bomb? I thought she said who is typing this shit? They were obviously about 5 seconds late on the teleprompter. 

[wallflower75]

LOL at Matt Damon, he didn't know what to do after the  Ben Affleck joke. He was amused.

 

And somewhere, there's a little part of him that's thinking, "Well, it's true...."

[mtlchick]

Oscar Isaac owned me since his acoustic rendition of The Theme from Star Wars from SNL.  

[ByaNose]

The brunette in green is stunning. Who is she?

[Misslindsey]

I thought Jamie Alexander said shit too. I was slightly annoyed that she walked out and asked if they were suppose to say something. Umm....yeah, you are presenting.

 

I love Oscar Isaac, so I am pleased he won.

[Fostersmom]

Why does Melissa insist on wear a trash bag to every awards show and her hair looks god awful. 

[Indigo Luna]

Melissa McCarthy looks amazing other than that shiny trash bag she's wearing. 

[mtlchick]

Ok I laughed hard at the Paul Feig headlock.
