I'm not terribly familiar with Jo Koy outside of him being Chelsea Handler's ex, but I do feel somewhat badly for him. These gigs typically come with months of notice and while I think a higher profil

Gillian Anderson’s dress was embroidered with vulvas and I love it. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a46315978/gillian-anderson-golden-globes-2024-dress-vulva/

Admittedly, I loved The Bear right from its start, but its second season is truly something special, with 3 or 4 outstanding episodes. S2, Ep. 7 "Forks," is probably my favorite television episode of

So here's my thing on the new Box Office category. If you're going to award a movie simply because it made a ton of money there shouldn't even be nominations. It should automatically go to the one that made the most money. Which removes the whole point of it being a competitive category. If they want to start doing a special award to the biggest box office movie, then sure as that's got precedent, but don't treat it like you do Best Actor or Best Picture. Yes I love Barbie but this shouldn't be a thing.

The new stand up category makes more sense as there's specials released all the time.

I do love Margot's dress.

Andra Day and Jon Batiste are the best pairing of the night. Natural!

Yes to this!  They were comfortable with each other and hilarious.   I loved Andra saying she got her start singing in a strip… and then cutting herself off and squinting at the teleprompter.  I loved them geeking out to each other about video game music.

This is why I was hoping Barbie wouldn't win, so at least it would look like the one who wins at the box office isn't the automatic winner. If they decide to keep the award I would drop the Box Office part of the name and jsut say Best Cinematic Experience.

For some reason, it irritates me when the 'narrator guy' tells me the following information about the winner: 'This is their first nomination and first win' It sounds very redundant. Sure 'This is their 5th nomination and first win' makes sense but surely it would make more sense to say 'They win with their first ever nomination' or something.

Figured it would be Oppenheimer after all of its acting and directing wins.  We will see if the Oscars go the same way though.  Hasn't in the past but it does feel like the new voting system/members have made things different compared to previous years.

Oppenheimer is Nolan's best work but what may sway voters is the general agreement he's overdue. Academy voters love a narrative and that's a classic one.

Hopefully I'll see everyone at the Emmys, SAG, and Oscars.

Emmy's are next week I believe so everyone mark the date!

What a surprise, Oppenheimer won. Christopher Nolan seems really pretentious to me. I’m happy that he let his female counterpart do the speech though. I really like Emily Blunt so I’m happy she’s in a winner, but the lead actor looks like he’s made of plastic. His face is so smooth and shiny and fake looking.

I’m ticked that Barbie was pretty much shut out. It was bad enough that the movie couldn’t just exist without constantly being paired with and compared to Oppenheimer. 

Too bad the Best Animated Film people weren’t there; it’s such an honour and usually a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Did they think they wouldn’t win? I mean, frickin’ Taylor Swift managed to squeeze this event into her schedule and there was no chance she would win.

The show was awkward and painful for the most part, which is a shame because the GGs used to be my favourite award show. I like the mixing of tv and movies and that there aren’t any “boring” awards (sorry, not sorry).

Terrible host, terrible bits written for the presenters, half the people there looked like they didn’t want to be there. I think they needed a longer cocktail hour before the show or something.

I knew it wouldn't happen, but I was really hoping James Marsden would win for playing "himself" on Jury Duty.  (It reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld's funny bit presenting at the Emmy Awards one year, about how he was nominated multiple times, but never won.  The line was something like "I guess you just didn't think I was very convincing at playing myself.")

Isn’t Barry a “dark comedy”? Maybe The Bear is the same? I’ve not seen it.

Barry? Yes, although I'd say it was less that in its last season.

The Bear could be considered comedic in the first season but I would not say that about its second season.  It's more of a short-length drama with some funny moments.

Random thoughts 

Season 2 of The Bear blew season 1 out of the water, imo—for those who couldn’t get into S1.

Host sucked. Absolutely.

SM people wanted Kerry and Ray to host next year. I want Andra and Jon! 
 

Also, congrats to Succession and all its winners.

RDJ delivers the best acceptance speeches.

Kevin Costner thought using Tom Cruise’s plastic surgeon was a good idea. He was wrong.

Even Harrison Ford showed up. Hmm.

Re: Cillian Murphy. Never before have I read such a negative description of his stunning bone structure and complexion, never mind his eyes, nor his being referred to as some nameless "lead actor." 

Re: "[P]aired with and compared to 'Oppenheimer'." This was a deliberate move by Margot Robbie as producer:

She made a bad bet, as it turned out. 

Re: "Best Animated" team's absence. Attendance might have struck them as unseemly, given their acceptance message:
