2021 Golden Globes

 Wow.  what a horrible year.  so depressing. 

But alas, the Hollywood foreign press has decided to press forward with this night's ceremony.  I have mixed emotions.  Part of me thinks that due to the pandemic and lack of movies released in 2020 they should have held off and just added the few films that were released in 2020 to next years roster.  I feel like because of the lack of films released that maybe some films were nominated that should not have been.  I think they got nominated not by talent but by lack of any other choices.  Perhaps tonight will not be an even playing field.  But alas...the show must go on....

8:00 pm

Amy Poehler is hosting from California and Tina Fey is hosting from New York making this the first bi-coastal broadcast of the Golden Globes. 

All the presenters and nominees are spoken to through computers chats. 

Pre-show

Jane Lynch looks great in a pinstriped suit.  Don't love the brooch. 

Carey Mulliagn looks lovely in an iridescent pale pink, off the shoulder dress.  In a hotel room. 

Hate Elle Fanning's pink and yellow dress.  With the fake yellow flowers on the shoulders.  More something for an Easter Parade.  wine in background

Hate Kate Hudson's metallic dress with the big 80's black velvet sleeves. many throw pillows in background.

I dislike Julia Garner's pulled back hair with a boring white collared shirt and blue velvet tuxedo jacket.  Very Victor/Victoria. 

Yikes. Jared Leto and that long, stringy hair.  He always looks homeless, and yet he is so handsome!! bookcase in background. 

I don't love Regina King's dress.  It's a one sleeved, black dress with a big silver, sweetheart cut top.  It looks like a cartoon.  haha. empty hall with her dog bed in background. oh my god, mid interview the dog comes in and lays down.  So cute. Stealing her thunder.

I do not like Amanda Seyfried's red flamenco floral dress.  Never a friend of her style. police sirens in the background. 

LIVE from the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California and the Rainbow Room for New York:

Tina Fey looks great in an all black suit dress with cute stockings.  I hate Amy Poehler's big buttoned black sequin dress she looks like a dominatrix. 

WOW. the ballroom is usually filled with celebrities but tonight the room is sparsely filled with essential workers and first responders.  HELLO, Why wasn't I called about this??? 

Laura Dern looks nice in her satin black suit. 

There is a lot of sound problems.  Understandably so.

Daniel Kaluuya wins best supporting actor in a motion picture for "Judas and the Black Messiah". He looks great in a blue suit and white trimmed suit. 

Love Bill Murphy's Hawaiian shirt.

Love Angelia Basset's purple one shoulder boa dress. Vava Voom.  John Boyega wins Best actor in a television supporting role for "Small Axe" . looks very handsome in a white suit. 

I love the black and white rose suit Catherine O'Hara has on.  She wins for Best Actress in a comedy series for "Schitt's Creek". well deserved. 

Tiffany Haddis golden hair looks great. ok brown sequin linked dress.  "Soul" wins for Best Animated Picture.

Mark Ruffalo wins Best Actor in a mini-series or TV movie for "I Know This Much is True".  Amazing book by Wally Lamb. 

Aaron Sorkin wins for best screenplay for "The Trial of the Chicago Seven" 

Gag sequence by SNL cast members. Hate Maya Rudolph's silver bag of a dress.  Her style is the worst.  Wish Keanan had on gray pants not brown.  

The two hosts could not be less alike in outfits right now. Tina Fey just added a frumpy rose floral print to her dress.  Is Amy not a friend enough to tell her that's terrible looking.  She just let's Tina end up on the worst looked list.  Amy is too old for that mini dress and black stockings.  The hair is forced.  Tiny went way past her age to 85.  and Amy went too before her age at 17.  Can we not get a happy medium?

Norman Lear at 98 wins the (third) Carol Burnett award for life time achievement in television.  Well deserved for his producing "All in the Family" and other progressive shows.  

I like Salma Hayak's red dress.  Lose the brooch. 

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick look fabulous as a couple.  Sedgwick is wearing off-white satin blouse with pants.  Satin wrinkles so easily. 

Emma Corin wins for Best actress in a drama series for "The Crown".  New British actress.  Giggles through expectance speech, so nervous.  Wearing a ridiculous RBG collared judge robe dress. horrible.

Best Original Score goes to "Soul".

Jason Sadakius wins Best actor comedy series for "Ted Lasso". He is wearing a tie-dyed sweat shirt which to me is a bit disrespectful for the HFP. 

Best TV comedy series goes to "Schitt's Creek".  Daniel Levy looks gorgeous in a yellow sequined suit. 

Sean Penn talks about a foundation that helps prevent COVID-19.  His hair is dyed brown and his a mop on his head. 

Rosamund Pike wins best actress in a comedy film for "I Care A Lot".  She's wearing a giant suspenders looking red tulle dress.  Her speech is a bit obnoxious towards America. 

New-comer Josh O'Connor wins best actor for drama series "The Crown".  Apparently, you can still be played off stage virtually.  

Gal Gabot looks lovely in a simple white turtle neck mini dress with sheer sleeves.  Best Foreign Picture goes to the U.S.A. for "Minari". 

Best TV drama goes to "The Crown".

Such different styles, Tina and Amy. Tina alway so modest and dressing beyond her years and Amy always trying too hard to dress younger.  Between the two, they equal out.  Tina is now wearing a gold sequin blazer with old RW&B cuffs.  Amy changed into a black dress with a weird gold hoop at her chest line that is nothing but distracting.  

This year Jane Fonda is the recipient of the "Cecil B. DeMille Award".  Seems long over due.  Many a younger actors have won before her. She looks great in a slick white suit with gray hair.  

Jamie Lee Curtis looks amazing in a yellow flowing dress. 

Jodie Foster looks awesome in a flowing black and white pant suit.  She has her girl and her dog by her side.  She wins for best supporting actress in a motion picture for "The Mauritanian". 

Gillian Anderson wins best supporting actress is a supporting role for "The Crown".
The Crown is cleaning up tonight. 

Anya Taylor-Joy looks simple and blonde in a green spaghetti strapped dress.  She wins best actress in a mini-series for "The Queen's Gambit".

"The Queen's Gambit" wins Best mini-series.

Renee Zellweger wearing a very simple black velvet dress. Chadwick Boseman posthumously wins Best actor in a motion picture drama for "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom".  His widow excepts his award. sad.

Bryce Dallas Howard is wearing a horrible, unflattering, silver and pink full sleeved sequin dress. She is not a heavy girl but it is just ill-fitted. 

Chloe Zhao wins best director for "Nomadland" 

"Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm" wins best comedy film.

I hate Awkwafina's retro 70s dress, yikes.  Best actor in a comedy film goes to Sasha Baron Cohen for "Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm".  He looks handsome. His wife, Isla Fisher looks lovely in a hot pink dress. 

Thanks for dressing up Joaquin Phoenix! .  Andra Day wins for best actress in a drama for "The United States VS. Billie Holiday" 

Michael Douglas looks handsome and alive.  Catherine Zeta-Jones looks beautiful in an off the shoulder black dress. 

"Nomadland" wins best Drama movie 


It's a half-ass review for a half-ass ceremony for a horrible year which basically released no movies.
