The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[vb68]

Ricky Gervais always tries too hard.

LOL at the closeup of Amy Poehler rolling her eyes.

[Misslindsey]

I love Ricky Gervais. I like that he has some bite and not fluff.

[Nordly Beaumont]

I love Tom Hanks "Whaaat??" look.

[Fostersmom]

This is so cringey. I'm loving it! LOL!

[Ohwell]

Ricky isn't as funny as he seems to think he is.

Keith Urban did not look amused.

Me too!

[wallflower75]

Okay, I'm going to give credit to Scorsese there--when Gervais made the crack about him being too small to ride the rides, you could see him saying, "it's true."

[sally-can-wait]

Ricky's monologue is just continual shots of people cringing. LOL

[absnow54]

The Leo joke was funny. 

[ShadowHunter]

Well at least Leo and Martin laughed along lol. 

 

[Misslindsey]

Sorry, but the James Corden joke cracked me up!

There’s bite and then coming off as feeling he’s way above this.  We should start a drinking game every time he says “I don’t care.” 

[bmoore4026]

Carol Burnett looks so confused

[Chas411]

Love Gervais. They are all so pretentious. I love that he calls them out for it.

[thuganomics85]

Ricky makes a crack about Leo dating women way younger than him and he's just like "Yep, I totally do!"

I guess everyone in Hollywood agrees about one thing: Cats was hilariously bad!

This! Exactly.

[KaveDweller]

Some of Ricky's jokes are funny, but there are lots of people in the audience who clearly hate him. This could be interesting.

[bmoore4026]

OK, that sweatshop reference was savage.

[mightysparrow]

 

i don't think Tom Hanks is going to make it.

[Browncoat]

It has gotten better.  I've laughed several times!  But I do want to know what just got bleeped (not the Judi Dench joke -- I figured that one out).

Exactly. If you're so above it, why are you there?

[Growsonwalls]

Omg the ISIS joke was amazing. 

ETA: i think it was "Judi Dench licking her asshole."

[thuganomics85]

Nowhere near his best, but I did think Gervais' monologue got better at the end.

[sally-can-wait]

 Since when do they come from the floor to present?

[Ohwell]

Funny, I thinks it's Gervais who's pretentious.  Oh well, differing opinions. 😃

[bmoore4026]

Awww, no Bill Hader or Paul Rudd 😞

[Misslindsey]

I was hoping for a Ben Platt win, since I saw him in Dear Evan Hansen years ago, but pleased for Ramy.

[thuganomics85]

A surprise win, it seems.  I was hoping for Bill Hader, but at least he's got a few Emmys!

[bmoore4026]

Well, he's high.

[mtlchick]

They sat Ramy in the bleachers.  Shout out to the people in the back who will be getting their steps in tonight.

I am with you.  He gives no sh** about offending them.

I agree.  Making fun of actors is so easy.  Especially at an award show.  What are they going to do?  Walk out?  They have to sit there and take it.  And most of the people in the room will NEVER work with him, so what's the risk, Ricky?

[ShadowHunter]

I know you guys have not seen my show. lmao. I have to look up this guy now lol.

[Eureka]

We were expecting one of them too. This guy who won has a good sense of humor though.

[vb68]

Good lord at that Judi Dench joke. I wish he really had skipped it.

[Fostersmom]

No clue who that guy was or what show he's in, but he's got awesome eye lashes. 

 

[Amethyst]

Damn, he went in!  Can’t lie, some of that was spot on.

”I know you haven’t seen my show.”  Enjoy it, Ramy!

[mightysparrow]

Russell Crowe beat SAM ROCKWELL??????

[Misslindsey]

I wanted Jared Harris to win. I adore him. 

[wallflower75]

Damn...I didn't recognize Russell Crowe in that little clip they showed.

[bmoore4026]

Wow.  Russell Crowe said something profound.  Shock.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

That was a funny speech.

[mtlchick]

“He’s at home protecting his family from the fires.” 
 

ugh. The fires in Australia are heart breaking. 😔

[Calvada]

Jennifer Anniston is turning orange!  Or do I need a new TV?

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Why did it seem for hard for Jen to speak?

[sally-can-wait]

I watched both shows and imo Crowe was far superior in his role. 

[Neeners]

Has anyone seen this movie? Is it any good?

[thuganomics85]

Aww, bummed Jarred Harris got shutout in the award season.  I love him in everything, but his performance in Chernobyl was truly riveting.

[Macbeth]

Calling the botox people out about how they don't know anything about the real world - while pointing out how Apple uses slave labor at the same time is true and is not said enough.  

This should be under the Hollywood sign.

[Amethyst]

Is Jennifer Aniston high, or sick? She was flubbing her lines and I thought she was gonna throw up for a minute.
