2020 Golden Globes

Tom Hanks gets the Cecil B. DeMille Award (Presented by Charlize Theron)

Charlize is a strange choice to present to Tom, why not Meryl, Sally, Julia, Ron, Robin, Tim or Denzel

Not a frown on a single forehead, the Botox alone for the Golden Globes must have cost a fortune.

From all accounts Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is just average. I was never a Tarantino movie fan anyway. Blokey movies !

Not all accounts. I thought it was great and spoke to a few people who share that view. My sister being one, but mainly blokes. His films do appeal more to boys, but I don't see much wrong with that.

Fleabag is very much a girls show. I've only seen a couple of episodes and I have to admit I thought it was brilliant, a rare example of something that lives up to the hype. But it's definitely a girls show.

And I think Ricky is brilliant at these awards. Hollywood is an incredibly hypocritical industry and it's hard to listen to them preaching at times. I'd heard all about Harvey weinstein and I'm an accountant in Dublin. The chances of everyone in Hollywood not knowing about him are zero. But for years he was a route up success so they turned a blind eye, or even played the casting couch game to get ahead. And for the past couple of years they're all shocked and appalled and now that they've officially heard about it they can't do nothing. It's hilarious to see it thrown in their faces.

Joaquin Phoenix's speech was painful to watch. He was baked off his box. Brad pitt on the other hand was the epitome of class. He came across like an absolute gentleman.
Loved Ricky Gervais jokes, he made most people in that room very uncomfortable which is a great thing. The truth can be a painful thing to hear and a lot of them do not like the truth.

Kermode really needs to learn how to form an opinion. What a wallflower. :pac:

He's right though, the competition is a farce, Gervais there purely for the viral element & controversy his known brand of humour would generate.

It's worth reminding that The Martian won a Globe in 2016 for "best comedy or musical". These awards ceremonies are pure puffery at the best of times, but the Golden Globes arguably the lesser of the two big American ones.

Just on that, Quentin Tarantino looked basically plastic faced to me.

How they'll all look in 20 years time is the stuff of nightmares.

I would have shared that view before at least after the last few years, but having seen most of the stuff nominated and seeing Crow, Succession and Brian Cox win for shows that were by far the best of the year in my opinion, gives me faith that at least the TV results were legit and very much worthy of the awards. Coleman was outstanding in the crown, Zellweger gave a career best as Judy. The awards pretty much hit the mark this year.

Brian Cox's win was the best of the night for me. He said in the press room after getting his award that it was the best moment of his career. A man who had a really tough upbringing, truly came from nothing, and as he said himself, felt his time had passed. He got the role of a lifetime in his 70s. It is a great moment for him, even if the Golden Globes are bs.

It was like Ruth Gordon winning an Oscar for her part in ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ in her 70s and saying in her speech: “I can't tell you how encouragin' a thing like this is.” :pac:
