The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[scarynikki12]

I like that Oprah’s embraced the glasses. They suit her.

[CherryMalotte]

Had to have Mini-Malotte turn the volume down.  I do not need any further life lessons from Oprah.  There is nothing she can tell me that I don't already know.  

[Mystery]

I didn't see Oprah's movie, but I read the Henrietta Lacks book years ago and it was just incredible. So I'm glad she brought Henrietta Lacks's story to more people.

Oprah's dress is really pretty. 

Aside: I think the frames of her glasses are a weeeee bit too thick especially with that hair,but the shape works for her.

 

"Steadman who's been my rock."  That's all the man gets? 

[Diana Berry]

NW  sister has never officially named anyone.  Wonder if she will change her mind now. 

[Neeners]

Why the heck does Barbra look so mad?

I don't think she can move her face. 

[scarynikki12]

Oprah’s talking about Recy so now I’m going to cry.

[Laurie4H]

Can’t stand this self righteous speeches.  Why can’t she just thank everyone.

Hey, now I know what Denzel Washington's "stuck in a classroom" face looks like!

[vb68]

I think Oprah is really hitting the right notes in her speech.

[ebk57]

Denzel looked kinda  bored.

[Misslindsey]

Loving Oprah's speech.

[jjj]

You don't have to love Oprah to know this is a powerful speech of truth.  If you don't like Oprah -- that is your business.  But hear the truth she is telling.

Oprah gets some flack, deservedly so at times, but this is a hell of a speech. I love how it's not really about her at all.

That's an incredible, heartbreaking story. Wow. 

Another thing to add to Rosa Parks' awesomeness, too. 

[scarynikki12]

“Their time is up!” Hell yeah Oprah! 

If the audience reaction is any indication I don’t think Reese was wrong. Get Oprah speaking and she’ll get it done.

[Neeners]

OPRAH PREACHING!

[bmoore4026]

I never knew Reese Taylor even existed until now.  So, in spite of my feelings on her ruining a man whose character I liked, I will admit she is a good speaker and I hope she is right that a new day is dawning for womenkind.

I thought I read that someone who allegedly knows is planning to release the name after the perpetrator has died. 

[mtlchick]

With a speech like that, Hanks should really consider the VP slot after all.  

 

Damn, woman.  That was a fiery moment.  Followed up by...Opie.  Whoops.

[Browncoat]

Tough act to follow!

[thuganomics85]

Poor Ron Howard and Natalie Portman.  They have to follow that?!

[AimingforYoko]

Natalie Portman FTW!

[ombelico]

"And here are the all-male nominees." Go Natalie!

[Mumbles]

Quote

Bleh. Allison Janney wins everything. Laurie Metcalf was robbed.

Having seen both, I agree. Janney’s character was over-the-top and one note, she had little to work with. Metcalf plays a woman who has a lot going on, and she does it all.  Metcalf should have won alone for the scene at the airport, for those who have seen the movie.  This is no slam on Janney, it’s just that her character was a mean bitch with no arc to work with.

Quote

Really, I almost feel like Kirk has no idea where he's even at. This is just exploitive at this point. 

Painful as hell and his family should have never allowed it to happen.

Quote

.  I thought she and Michael had gotten divorced but I guess not.

She should have.  He basically accused her genitals of having given him cancer. How chivalrous. 

Quote

"Is there cheese back stage?" 

I always find that woman very try-hard and on. Always with the hats. Look at me, look at me, I’m wacky!

I wish Jude Law had won for The Young Pope. It was beautiful and exquisite and weird, something that I though get the HFPA might have been charmed by. Oh well.

[ivygirl]

I would definitely agree that that was a powerful and well done speech. 

 

And dang, Natalie. “Here are the all-male nominees.” 

[Thumper]

Yay, Oprah!!!   As much as I sometimes think she is overexposed, that was a GREAT speech!  And I admire her very much for what she has accomplished and for what/who she champions.  She brought tears to my my eyes.  She has lived it, folks.

[Eureka]

You go girl! (Natalie’s comment about all male).

Even Ron Howard seemed to realize that-he was clearly thinking, "How do I even follow that?" :p. 

[vb68]

That's going to do nothing to quiet the rumors that Oprah may be thinking about a presidential campaign.

Her comment about the all-male nominees was a perfect follow up!

[sally-can-wait]

I have not seen The Shape of Water but I will forever love Guillermo del Toro for making Pan's Labyrinth. It was one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. 

[magpye29]

So Natalie Portman stole her costume from The Other Boleyn Girl, but forgot to take the top?

[Annber03]

That was such a good burn. 

[thuganomics85]

Guillermo Del Toro wins and gets a good boost going into the Oscars!

[SnoGirl]

Natalie Portman, hot damn. Thank you! She definitely had a pair of ovaries on her!

[bmoore4026]

Fantastic that Guillermo is finally getting his due.

[scarynikki12]

Sally and Octavia are so sweet in their reaction to del Toro.

[Amethyst]

Go head, Guillermo!

[Browncoat]

You tell 'em Guillermo!

[bmoore4026]

Fuck yeah, Guillermo!  Tell them were to stick their play offs.

[Eureka]

And good for Guillermo, saying to give him a minute.

[thuganomics85]

Ha, Guillermo actually caused the orchestra to stop, being all "Fuck you, guys, I"m not done yet!"  (but much nicer about it, of course.)

[Mystery]

Oprah was awesome; I'm glad the speech was about our times and not about her. One thing she's always done is used her powerful name and resources to bring attention to important issues. 

I hadn't heard about Recy until the news stories last week when she died. 

[ShadowHunter]

Congrats Guillermo Del Toro love how he thanked "His Monsters".

[scarynikki12]

“Lon Cheney is smiling up at us”

[Browncoat]

I am so looking forward to A Wrinkle In Time.  I hope they don't screw it up.

Reminds me of his Demille speech that he kind of screwed up because of the lack of...glasses.
