The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[Browncoat]

God, I love Meryl!

[mtlchick]

How DARE she says that about...the UFC.  Dana White is going to be pissed. 

[Madding crowd]

Love Meryl's speech!

[sally-can-wait]

My favorite Streep film is Silkwood. Bonus points for an awesome performance by Cher.

[abstractstuff]

Silkwood and Death Becomes her. Great speeches by Viola and Meryl.

I'm pretty sure the only Meryl movies I've ever seen are "The Devil Wears Prada" and that one where Julia Roberts was her daughter.  I think I might have seen "Doubt" too.

I'm not a very good movie fan.  I watch a lot of blockbusters and sequels though!

You must do a Streep marathon some day.  Have to add Sophie's Choice.

[Laurie4H]

Shut the F up Meryl.

[Fostersmom]

Totally crying now. She's amazing. 

[mtlchick]

Because what better time to use it?

 

[mojoween]

Mel Gibson looks befuddled at these things that Meryl is saying.

[thuganomics85]

Whelp, I think we found a new target for Donald Trump's next Twitter rant!

[Thumper]

Meryl -- you rock!  Thank you for pointing out the roots of some of  the "elite" actors.  She is awesome.

She looks good.  

Lovely, inspirational speech.

[Artsda]

That was a powerful speech by Meryl.

Oh hell no.  The woman lost her voice?  Her punch drunk speeches are worth their weight in gold!

They are anyway.  I still remember the year she won an Emmy for "Angels in America."  She started her thank-you speech by saying, "You know, sometimes even I think I'm overrated."  Then she broke into a huge grin and added, "But not tonight!"

[Misslindsey]

So many tears. Great job Meryl!

[jjj]

Dayum, Meryl Streep.  Using your voice and position to enforce our humanity.  Good on you.  "Take your broken heart, make it into art."

I'm very happy about The Crown winning. The only win I'm super happy about since The Americans wasn't even freaking nominated!

No shit.  The Crown is good, but it often gives its characters lines that feel like a way to sneak in a history lesson for uninformed viewers rather than  realistic dialog.  This past season of The Americans was impeccable.

What a beautiful human being Meryl Streep is.  

[callmebetty]

They show Meryl in a singing Montage and no Stuck on You?

I cannot believe Twitter is still a thing for a PEOTUS. Sigh.

[Mumbles]

"Meryl Streep used to be a good actress. Hasn't made a good movie in years. Sad!"  Counting down 5...4....3...

[Wings]

Thundering applause and standing ovation for Meryl.  

[Valny]

Meryl Streep for the win!

[InsertWordHere]

Meryl made me cry.

I dare him. I would love to see him try to take on Meryl Streep.

Go ahead, sir, and defile Meryl Streep.  Make our day.

[Misslindsey]

Trump is so going to tweet that Meryl is overrated or something. I can see it now.

[ProudMary]

Can we give Meryl an award for that speech please?  I'm in tears here.

[P2C2E]

Viola made me cry. Then Meryl made me cry. What beautiful passionate speeches by both women!

All I can say is that if she wants to run for President in 2020?  She's got my vote.  Period.  End of story.

[Diana Berry]

Haven't seen FFJ but I think her last really good role was as Thatcher.

[mojoween]

I refuse to follow that POS so if he does tweet something let me know.

Meryl looked great.  Young ladies, take note.

Hey look it's Pine!  Whoever said they preferred him out of the Chris's must have summoned him like Beetlejuice.

[Zuzubee]

AMEN, Meryl!

[Laurie4H]

It's all fake tears and phony outrage/empathy.  Still to acting.

Donald Trump, is that you?

[Kimmmmmm]

I loved her in Doubt, among many, many others.

[Misslindsey]

What is Zoe Saldana wearing?

I really would love another film to get some love besides La La Land, and I liked La La Land.

[thuganomics85]

And director goes to the kid who is past his bed time.  I kid, Damien!

[mtlchick]

It's the cleaned up Affleck!

La La Land is winning all of the awards.  But it needs some SAG wins to make me believe it will clean up at the Oscars. 

[mojoween]

I thought Zoe's dress was cute.  Siena looked weird.

They rehearse the presenting, don't they?

When they are sober.

[ShadowHunter]

Thankfully Mel Gibson did not win.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

those are definitely some golden globes on Mandy.

[Browncoat]

Nick Nolte looks rougher than usual.

Good for Donald!  Glover, that is.

[Misslindsey]

I wish Milo got some recognition for his part in This is us. I think he is great in it.

I am so happy for Donald Glover.

[Negritude]

Thanks for the Netflix recommendations guys. So I gotta check out The Crown and Hell or High Water ✔.

Anybody on Twitter should check out the #HiddenFences hashtag, it's hilarious.

SYTYCD alert! La La Land director just thanked Mandy Moore for her choreography. 

[mtlchick]

Garbage man, Kimmel punching bag, and the greatest sport at awards show ever, Matt Damon!

[DHDancer]

Was there ever any explanation for why The Martian was categorized as a comedy?

[thuganomics85]

Ha!  I do love that even Matt Damon knows his Best Comedy win was silly.

For a second, I thought Streep would still take another award tonight, but nope, it's Emma Stone!

[Misslindsey]

The garbageman is making me laugh.

Who didn't see Emma Stone's win coming? She was great in La La Land though.

I'm guessing so Matt didn't have to go against Leo for The Revenant.
