The Annual Golden Globes - General Discussion

A million points for the Rudy line.

[vb68]

Wow, who saw this one coming???

[freddi]

Michelle Pfeiffer -- just because we are online, no reason we can't dress as a movie star!

I really really wanted Maria to win that.
 

Having said that Rosamund Pike is brilliant in I care a lot.

[ShadowHunter]

Seeing Anya Taylor-Joy fangirl over Rosamund Pike winning was great lol.

[vb68]

I wonder if they refused to vote for the Borat movie?

[Macbeth]

Pike thanked America's broken legal system - so that these stories could be told.

Ok then.

That's the thing about the movie, it was exaggerated...but only by about one degree.

[Jaded]

I was so disappointed in the last half of that movie Promising Young Woman. I get that it was to lead up to that "shock" of an ending but still ugh.

That was dry humour. I don’t think she meant that.

From the NYT recap:

A victorious Rosamund Pike with a shout-out to her fellow nominee Maria Bakalova. ”In my movie, I had to swim up from a sinking car. I think I still would rather do that than have been in a room with Rudy Giuliani.”

I didn't like it either. Some good acting aside I think this movie is overhyped.

Another victory for The Crown!

You'll get a trophy one day, Bob Odenkirk.  Hopefully...

[vb68]

Good night for The Crown.

[Arynm]

I just love Josh O'connor! He deserves the win

[mtlchick]

Josh O’Connor cleans up nicely. 

[AimingforYoko]

Seems right, it really was Charles and Diana's season.

[Avabelle]

I think I put Josh to win but at the last minute I thought it would be Bob.

No surprise. The season was stellar and all the drama about the BRF apparently being upset about it, only added more eyeballs to the many who were already going to watch and added to its buzz. I said back when the teeth gnashing was going on that I'm sure Netflix and the show's producers would be sending these people Thank You baskets for the free publicity.

[ShadowHunter]

Good night for Netflix.

[DollEyes]

If Rosamund Pike keeps playing blonde sociopathic grifters as well as she does, she might get typecast. The Giuliani joke was hilarious, though.

I think I would like a bag of solid gold Doritos.

Just to have it.

[mtlchick]

Tina Fey does a solid Gillian Anderson in the Crown.

[thuganomics85]

Glenn Close was having fun, but her dog seemed bored out of its mind!

[ShadowHunter]

This is painful lol. 

[Avabelle]

Andrew Rannells “ok” when the nurse didn’t recognise him.

[mtlchick]

“Hey Doctor! I’m Andrew Rannells!” “Okay?” 
 

That’s how I feel.

Hey Gal Gadot? Why was Ww84 beyond disappointing?

[thuganomics85]

Minari takes Foreign Language as expected.  Looks great.  I also want to see Another Round for Drunk Mads Mikkelson!

[Avabelle]

For all the hype they got I’m meh on Tina and Amy tonight. I feel like Tina could present this without Amy and nobody would notice. Even Amy looks bored.

[vb68]

I did love Tina Fey busting on Tracy Morgan for awarding "Sal". 

[KaveDweller]

The daughter of the Foreign Language winner was adorable.

Yes.......I mean, "sole" has to be one of the easiest names to say in the entire show.

This makes me miss 30 Rock even more and I hope one day we will get a PROPER reunion show instead of whatever was passed off as one last year as a disguise to sell the NBC stuff. 

[thuganomics85]

The Crown takes Best Drama which is surely deserved, although I'm still happy that the batshit insanity of Lovecraft Country and the wild ride that is The Mandalorian still got recognition at least.

[vb68]

Jane Fonda really has had an amazing career.

I think it's down to her or Michael Douglas for best second generation actor.

[vb68]

And damn I hope I look half as good as Jane at her age!

I’m not a huge fan (nothing to do with her politics just don’t watch a lot of her movies) but Jane Fonda In 5 Parts was great.  I love that she is very inspired by current works.

Well, without the energy of being in the same room, they have to rely on the script, and they are more improvisatory than that when they are together -- even if they say the words that are written, there is  a zing of interaction.  

[DollEyes]

Jane Fonda is extraordinary, onscreen and off.

[thuganomics85]

Great speech from Jane Fonda.  Only briefly outshone for a second when Jodie Foster's dog started mugging for the camera, heh.

[mtlchick]

I feel if Jane was doing this speech in front of her peers, Viola Davis would be ready to tackle her for a hug.

For the DeMille award, that was SHORT. Normally this takes a good 15 minutes. This was under 10.

She really is!

 

And happy birthday Tommy Tune!!!   (How lovely of her to acknowledge that!)

[Avabelle]

Was it Robert De Niro whos acceptance of the DeMille award went on for an age..

Jane.  Those clips, from 1960s subservient cute girl lead to Artist of the new millennium.  And I loved "Barefoot in the Park," "Any Wednesday," and "Sunday in New York," some of my favorites from the 60s.  They had at least three clips from "Barefoot" in the intro.  

[thuganomics85]

To be fair, it's gotten to the point where De Niro can somehow make a five minute speech feel like two hours.

[SunnyBeBe]

Oh Jane!  Her complexion flawless!  Speech inspiring!

I haven't seen Jodie in anything for so long.  I was happy to see her.

[freddi]

Wow, still an hour to go!? 

[thuganomics85]

It probably won't win, but I'm still glad I got to see Hamilton in some kind of form.

Jodie Foster wins supporting actress, but her dog doesn't seem impressed.  Must have been a Glenn Close fan.
