The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[ByaNose]

Wow! Sly's face. I thought Creed was about Michael B. Jordan.

[Artsda]

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

I meant Kurt, he's the only one she acknowledges and says is her father/dad. 

[Ohwell]

I haven't seen Creed yet, I'll probably Netflix it later, but yay for Sly.

[emma675]

Wow, Brad Pitt looks great! Whatever work he's had done is very natural.

[mojoween]

Let's have Eva and America switch off presenting everything with Ryan and Brad and the show will be a giant win.

[wallflower75]

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.

 

ITA with J-Law winning the Oscar and Bradley Cooper getting snubbed.  When I finally got around to watching the movie, I didn't find her performance overly outstanding.  I thought she did better work in The Hunger Games.

[thuganomics85]

Judging from that standing ovation, Sylvester Stallone is clearly the inspirational "story-line" for this award season, and it would probably take him going full Mel Gibson or something to not win.  He was fantastic though, so I'm happy.  But did he only thank the early Rocky people?  I didn't hear him mention either Ryan Coogler or Michael B. Jordan.  Come on, Sly!  Give them some credit, Rocky.

 

Clean Shaven Brad Pitt and Beared Ryan Gosling kind of freaked me out.

 

I feel bad, because I'm sure he's a nice person, but I always feel like Michael Shannon is going to go off on someone, any time I see him. 

[Fostersmom]

God, I HATE Will Ferell with a passion. 

[mojoween]

Christ almighty I cannot stand Will Ferrell. He's dragging Wahlberg way WAY down.

[Mumbles]

 

Shut up, Jamie Foxx.

Oh good lord I hate him at these things so much.  He did this last year - he and Jessica Biel were giving out some award of a technical nature and he just hammed it up and sang the names of the nominees, thus taking the attention away from the fine folks who were nominated and making it about himself. And he did that just now - seriously, Ennio Morricone is a LEGEND, he's farted out things with more talent that Foxx. It didn't help to have dippy starlet girl (who I had to look up - hey, Lady Rose) giggling at it all.

[Misslindsey]

Heh. I thought it was Mark Wahlberg dragging will down.

 

I really love Aaron Sorkin, so I am glad he won, even though I could have lived with any of the people in the category winning.

I am officially old, I'm not at all enamored with Amy Schumer throwing out the "c" word on a family oriented show. Is that all it takes to be the hottest comedian now?

[wallflower75]

Wow...wasn't expecting the Steve Jobs love at all.  Huh.

[mtlchick]

 

I didn't hear him mention either Ryan Coogler or Michael B. Jordan.

 

I hope it's just an oversight as he's been very gracious towards them during the press tour. This character was a part of him for close to 40 years and for him to give control of the writing and directing of the character to other people was probably tough for him but sometimes you need a fresh pair of eyes to breathe new life.  

[ByaNose]

Didn't see Steve Jobs either. I have an iPad though. Does that count?

[thuganomics85]

Sorkin for the win?  Steve Jobs is making a comeback!

[Black Knight]

Jennifer Lawrence's best performance was in Winter's Bone, and I would probably have given her the Oscar that year.

 

As for Rami Malek over Christian Slater and such - they weren't competing in the same category, so it's not really relevant. Nobody decided to honor Slater over Malek, or Lawrence over Cooper.

 

The sight of Stallone getting a standing ovation was pretty awesome.

[Thumper]

Evidently an Unpopular Opinion, but I'll chime in that I am over Kate Hudson.

[Celia Rubenstein]

Steve Jobs, whatever.  I wanted to see Tarantino on the stage again to see if he has sobered up or managed to get drunker.

[Frost]

This has the worst 'banter' I've ever heard.  The acceptance speeches are almost as awkward and embarrassing. 

[mtlchick]

Wow...wasn't expecting the Steve Jobs love at all.  Huh.

 

You know them Apple heads needs to give love to their master any chance they get (I keed!) 

[Artsda]

Loved seeing Rob Lowe be the first to thank Aaron Sorkin. I need a West Wing reunion with the real cast.

[tallyrand]

Lotta love for Mozart in the jungle! I like that show so I'm happy.

[wallflower75]

I am officially old, I'm not at all enamored with Amy Schumer throwing out the "c" word on a family oriented show. Is that all it takes to be the hottest comedian now?

 

I saw Trainwreck recently and thought the humor was hit and miss.  I suspect if I were to watch her show it would be more of the same.

[thuganomics85]

Was hoping either Aziz or Patrick Stewart, but it seems like the Globes clearly loved Mozart in the Jungle.

 

Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin together does want me to see a crossover between Supergirl and The Flash.  As long as they find a way to get them to sing.

[Misslindsey]

I really like Gael Garcia Bernal, but was hoping for an Aziz Ansari win. I really loved Master of None. I also would have really liked a Patrick Stewart win.

[mtlchick]

"Losing to Jeffrey Tambor with Dignity" has been pulled from the selves but may come back for SAG and Emmy season.

[wallflower75]

You know them Apple heads needs to give love to their master any chance they get (I keed!) 

 

Well, I did forget that it was written by Aaron Sorkin.  How silly of me.

 

As for Jeffrey Tambor and Transparent, I watched two episodes and didn't see what was supposed to be so darned funny.  When I hear that something's a comedy, I think I'm going to, what's the word, laugh.

I think it's more about who's in the category with them. Malek was in a category with Jon Hamm, there was no way they weren't going to give it to him since it was the final year of Mad Men. 

[SeanC]

But did he only thank the early Rocky people?  I didn't hear him mention either Ryan Coogler or Michael B. Jordan.  Come on, Sly!  Give them some credit, Rocky.

He apparently went back to the microphone during the commercial break to thank Coogler, who had slipped his mind.

[Misslindsey]

I pretty much liked the supporting cast in Trainwreck. I am including Bill Hader that. I did not think Amy was great acting-wise in it.

[mojoween]

I always forget how good-looking Gael Garcia Bernal is.

On another note...STOP SWEARING, people. It's getting annoying.

[topanga]

I am officially old, I'm not at all enamored with Amy Schumer throwing out the "c" word on a family oriented show. Is that all it takes to be the hottest comedian now?

No, but that's how Amy talks. Either you like her or you don't. Please don't think you're old just because she doesn't warm your heart. 

[Mumbles]

I thought saying hi to your kids and telling them to go to bed was a much deservedly ridiculed cliche, but Matt Damon said it seemingly without irony.

[benteen]

The Mozart in the Jungle love is surprising me.  I've seen the first three episodes and I liked them.  Want to watch more but this show really hasn't been getting any kind of buzz at all from critics.

[tallyrand]

I always forget how good-looking Gael Garcia Bernal is.

On another note...STOP SWEARING, people. It's getting annoying.

Did Gael curse? I must have missed it.

[Misslindsey]

I am fine with swearing, but it is getting to be overkill.

[Celia Rubenstein]

Can I please look like Helen Mirren when I grow up? 

[Thumper]

Helen Mirren -- wow!

[mtlchick]

Helen Mirren needs to stop being stunning.  

[Misslindsey]

I want to be Helen Mirren or CJ Cregg when I grow up. I will even take a combination of both. Please?

[thuganomics85]

Only thing less surprising then Helen Mirren being down with foreign films' leniency towards sex and nudity, is Gerard Butler's love for explosions.

I think that was a case of the audio dropping out unexpectedly, because it didn't seem to me like he was working up to a curse there.

[Frost]

Is Lady Gaga's win up there with Pia Zadora?

[topanga]

I liked the joke that Brad and Angelina would want to adopt Kevin Hart and Ken, the two "little presenters." They are short. 

 

I liked Lady Gaga's acceptance speech. She was genuinely moved and grateful. 

Edited January 11, 2016 by topanga

[benteen]

Lady Gaga over Kirsten Dunst?  Are you kidding me?!

[thuganomics85]

Boo!  Gaga over Kirsten Dunst is bullshit!  Peggy should so hunt these voters down, stab them with a kitchen knife, taze them, and then run them over with a car.

[Artsda]

Lady Gaga really? Wow. And that's what they put on her card? Not her real name?

[Celia Rubenstein]

Damn, Lady Gaga WAS the best thing about this season of American Horror Story.  But the whole show sucked so badly this season ....  it pains me to see anyone receive an award for it.

[Fostersmom]

Does she have some sort of hip injury? She's not moving too well. She looked to be in pain.
