The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

[MerBearHou]

I heard an interview recently with Henry Winkler and he was asked about Turner & Hooch.  He said he got along fine with the dog.  Sounds like Tom and Henry didn’t get along at all and Henry alludes to Tom having him fired as director.  That was 30 years ago.

Michelle!!!

Michelle Williams got parked in the back?! 

She's preggo with the Fosse/Verndon director. Life imitates art and all that ...

Dragon! Dragon, not lizard! I don't do that tongue thing.

I have absolutely no desire to see Joker.

MuShu isn’t in it. 

[Misslindsey]

Tommy Kail is there. The Hamilton fan in me is happy.

Go Michelle. Great speech.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

I kind of like Michelle's toga.

Blasphemy!!!

[mojoween]

So many of the dresses tonight look like they started out as one thing, and then some other shit got tacked on.

[sally-can-wait]

Wow what a speech. Bravo Michelle!!

[scarynikki12]

I love Michelle even more now. 

[Toodleoo]

I looooove what Michelle has to say.

 

I also love what the fashion bloggers are going to say about that dress. And the rest of the Hiddy Parade that’s been happening tonight.

Apparently Mushu is not part of this version, as I think it's more slanted towards to being a historical drama. 

 

[mojoween]

Damn I need to get me a friend who loves me like Busy loves Michelle.

[bmoore4026]

CHERNOBYL WON!!!  For a moment, I thought Fosse/Verdon would.

[wallflower75]

Damn, I feel bad for joking about Michelle's outfit when she's being all powerful in her speech and stuff.

CHERNOBYL!  Yes!!

[scarynikki12]

The enduring bestie friendship of Michelle and Busy is so lovely. 

[mightysparrow]

I'm not a big fan of Michelle but she was very good in Fosse/Verdon and I admire her courage for giving a prochoice speech.

 

I adore Tiffany!!!

2 of the nicest actors, Winkler and Hanks, have a beef?  I would love someone to spill the tea.  But I bet we will never know.

It sounded like Hanks got Wrinkler fired as the first Director on Turner and Hooch (after 13 days).

[absnow54]

Yay Jared Harris got to speak!

[thuganomics85]

Probably where a bit too peppy with saying Chernobyl there, Salma and Tiffany.  Deserved win though.

And I just learned that Seth MacFarlane was in The Loudest Voice.  That's unexpected.

Aww, they're letting Jared Harris talk!

I missed part of it as my brother decides then to change the channel to a Shark Tank repeat, but I caught the ending.  After what happened considering her pay with All the Money in the World, it doesn't surprise me that will continue to fight the good fight about gender equality.

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Yay Chernobyl! The only thing I watched out of everything that's been nominated. Well that and also Toy Story 4. 

[Misslindsey]

I loved Tiffany praising Michelle in the background of her speech.

[anniebird]

Cate Blanchett's dress was more costume than dress but I thought it was gorgeous. It looked like something you would see in an Egyptian museum display.

[Laurie4H]

Maybe I’m in the minority but Michelle Williams comes off as self righteous and phony.

If I were to guess, it's probably a creative differences clash.  Winkler will admit that there's something there but he doesn't list the specifics.  But what he has admitted was that he, Winkler, was set to direct Turner & Hooch. And then, after a few days of shooting I guess, he was fired.  The implication is that Hanks got him fired from the movie. 

So even if they're both nice, talented people, a difference in creative vision for a project (or maybe a very different working style) maybe led to a "choose between us" situation that Tom won.  And I can see why Henry wouldn't feel great about that. Tom has held his peace on the situation, I believe.

The two are separate entities. The first is profoundly ugly and the second is profoundly moving. 

[sally-can-wait]

Happy for Chernobyl but sad for Unbelievable. They both were equally amazing. 

[Craphole Island]

Love Tom Hanks and loved his speech. Not gonna lie I squeed a bit when he called out Meg Ryan in that list of actors bc I love their work together!

[scarynikki12]

Jared Harris following Michelle with a killer speech of his own.

I feel the same way about her.  But she was totally right tonight and I applaud her courage.

[MerBearHou]

After hearing Tom’s speech tonight about being on time and ready and then my rushing to find articles about a Henry/Tom feud, sounds like Henry was quite laborious (and apparently to Tom — wasting valuable time) in getting things ready for the movie shoot.  Tom wasn’t a big-deal actor at that point — kind of mid-level — so it’s pretty amazing he could have the sway to get a well-known guy like Henry fired.  I didn’t see the camera shot of Henry tonight during Tom’s speech.  RBF??

[bmoore4026]

Dolemite is an amazing movie.  Would I like My Name is Dolemite?

[mtlchick]

I don't know why Wesley Snipes is dressed ready to go to a 70s prom, but I'm happy he's back in the game again. 

[mightysparrow]

It's good to see Wesley Snipes back.  He's such a good actor and it's a shame that he lost his way for a while.  It's especially nice that it's in an Eddie Murphy joint.

[bmoore4026]

Joker win!  Shock!

Not really.  You could literally see his tongue in his cheek.

[thuganomics85]

Seriously: how many souls have Paul Rudd and Jennifer Lopze stole to maintain their youth?!!

And Joker takes Best Score.

[absnow54]

Paul Rudd’s face belongs in a museum. 

[scarynikki12]

Oh JLo what are you wearing?

[sally-can-wait]

A female composer won? Hell yes!

[ShadowHunter]

So all the winners are stuck in the back?

[scarynikki12]

Joker does have an awesome score so it’s a good win. 

[Neeners]

Damn. Joaquin is a dick.

Michelle Williams is right.  It's really scary now.  It needs to be said.

[scarynikki12]

Half the fun of these things is when people weren’t expecting to win. The delight is great to see. 

[wallflower75]

Brad Pitt wins!!  Whoo hoo!

[Toodleoo]

I still can’t believe JLo picked that to wear. She’s gone very conservative for her Oscar campaign wear and it really doesn’t suit her.

[bmoore4026]

Go Brad Pitt!

And yet another Irishman upset.  I'm actually giddy about it.
