The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[ShadowHunter]

Well okay the Host just got interesting lol. He went for it lol. I spoke too soon lol.

[thuganomics85]

As per usual: it's Zenedya's World and we are just living in it.  This is known!

The presenters are obviously sweating from it (at least Glenn Powell is.)

[Scout Finch]

Damn, people, enough with the long-ass reflections on your life and career followed by your long-ass list of people you want to thank. Really, you're going to "beat up" the pianist, Chloe, who is just following the producer(s) instructions instead of letting you ramble on with no indication from you that you're wrapping it up?

[FoundTime]

Aw, Julia Garner. I remember you from The Americans.

[truthaboutluv]

I will say both of tonight's honorees are very deserving. While I may not always love Ryan Murphy's work and I do think he has the worse continuation when it comes to sustaining the quality of a show, you cannot deny the imprint he's left on television.

[absnow54]

Was Popular in the clip package at all? I kept looking for it, but didn’t see it. 

[ShadowHunter]

Ryan Murphy is hit or miss for me. Some of his shows are good and others are bad. Sometimes just campy fun. I say with Pride I never watched Glee. 

[thuganomics85]

Cate Blanchett takes Drama.  Oscars will be interesting this year.  My head says it will be Cate, but my heart wants it to be Michelle.

[truthaboutluv]

As soon as Sean Penn showed up, I knew we'd be getting a message from Zelensky. Because Sean Penn's mission of late is to try and insert the Ukrainian war and Zelensky into every award ceremony.

Heartfelt speech from the president of Ukraine, and...commercial 🤦‍♀️

[truthaboutluv]

I just checked and there is a whopping 12 categories left AND Eddie Murphy has to be honored. Yeah this thing's running over. 

[thuganomics85]

Bummed Alaska Daily doesn't get much hype because it's one of the better network shows right now.

Figured Martin/Banshees was taking Screenplay.

[DollEyes]

  As problematic as some of Ryan Murphy's work is, his contributions to TV in all forms (broadcast, cable and streaming) are undeniable plus he gave one of the best acceptance speeches of the night. 

Zelensky was unexpected.

which is why I really wish they wouldn't air these things on a school night. I mean, really.

[thuganomics85]

It's that time!  Steven Spielberg speech time!

They should have aired on Saturday. 

[MerBearHou]

Is there a quicker way to see new replies besides refreshing the page and then scrolling back down to the bottom of the page?  I see the line that shows the posts since I last read the page, but just wondering…

[DollEyes]

Congrats to Steven Spielberg. His acceptance speech was funny and sweet, especially the part about using pieces of his life in different films and finally realizing that he needs to tell his own story while he still can and based on the reviews I've seen, it's a great story; otoh, since he's been in the business for over 50 years, I'm not surprised.

Paul Walter Hauser was a. ma. zing. The first winner I have applauded for.

[truthaboutluv]

Good for the Hauser guy but this better not turn into Night Manager type situation where years ago it swept every category it was nominated for when very few people had watched it because HFPA voters were clearly obsessed with it. I say that only because I will be REALLY pissed if Evan Peters loses Lead Actor in a Limited Series to Taron Edgerton. 

[thuganomics85]

Jennifer Coolidge wins, so I guess we'll be going past midnight...

[FoundTime]

As an English major, I kind of love that it is because of TV that some people now know what an anthology is, lol.

[truthaboutluv]

Forgot to add that Spielberg winning was a foregone conclusion - let's see, passion project loosely based on his life and so a film about making films. Yup, award gold. 

eta: Jennifer Coolidge is funny and all but I was really rooting for Niecy Nash to win this one.

yeah — first time was amusing, to pull this same shit a second time is just plain selfish and disrespectful! 

finally, the music.

Play the goddamn piano!!!!!

[FoundTime]

FWIW, Under the Banner of Heaven is a really good book.

[ShadowHunter]

Thank God Evan Peters won. When Dahmer lost a few I got worried for a minute. He was so so good in the show.

[DollEyes]

Yay for Evan Peters, but somebody, for the love of Dog, GIVE HIM A ROMCOM STAT!! 

[thuganomics85]

The White Lotus wins because voters due love watching those dysfunctional rich assholes being dysfunctional rich assholes!

[wonderwoman]

while i absolutely loved ‘’the charmichael show,’ and certainly understand the appeal of the money, jerrod as a host is just so painful to watch. 

one thing i do miss from earlier broadcasts is how people were shown milling around during the commercial breaks. this just feels as though everyone is trying too hard.

I agree, for someone getting a lifetime achievement award he didn't make the speech about himself - well he did by pointing out people he gave jobs to but he framed it in a way as to why it's important that people can be true to themselves and still work in Hollywood.

I actually found her second speech more amusing. But I also find her humour very hit or miss. And I felt the second one had more hits in it than the first ramble.

you may be right. but i was so annoyed by her self-indulgent time suck that i tuned out what she was saying.

For what it's worth, he feels the same right now. He's made it clear that Dahmer really took a lot out of him mentally. 

lmao, nice ending Eddie. That was hilarious and very sound advice.

I was thinking about that for Evan — how could it not?  So extremely difficult mentally to take on that role day in and day out for weeks.

[Readalot]

Is Eddie Murphy pissed at Jamie Lee Curtis? 

[truthaboutluv]

So I'm not crazy. I knew they hadn't given Television Actor-Drama but thought I just missed it, since they gave Television Actress-Drama so long ago. Did they forget? 

Btw, for those still interested, we're now down to 5 categories to be handed out in six minutes. But I guess at this rate they may be done by quarter past.

[thuganomics85]

Yeah, I suspect the Will Smith references is going to a thing this award season.  You know the Oscars themselves will have it all throughout their telecast.

[FoundTime]

Bummer for Odenkirk.

[thuganomics85]

Sigh... Bob Odenkirk is never going to win anything for Better Call Saul, right?

You're probably right but not many are going to sting as badly or land so well as Eddie Murphy's drop.

[Cotypubby]

Did the sound just get really low for anyone else?

[FoundTime]

I finally got smart and put Abbott Elementary on a series recording for S2.

[DollEyes]

YAY ABBOTT ELEMENTARY!! 🥰🥳

[ShadowHunter]

House of the Dragaon! Nice.

[Cotypubby]

House of the Dragon? Really? Over those other shows?

[thuganomics85]

I'm pretty sure Game of Thrones never actually won a Globe, so it's kind of funny House of the Dragon wins in its first try.  Congrats for being better than season eight!  Kidding, I enjoyed it.  

Love seeing both Emma and Milly up there too!
