The Serious

So it was yet another award show where celebrity bodies of work override the French terrorist acts and world-wide violence that will never end where older white men won for behind the scenes work for movies typically about older white men with not much sensitivity towards women or minors. Oh, that's the Oscars, not the Golden Globes. Where the Oscars are much more stiff-upper-lip about the type of roles they award (veteran actors and biopics), the Golden Globes are like a karaoke contest in a bar with a comedian emcee. The drinks flowed and Hollywood was actually at its most awkwardly charming if not humbled of what the Hollywood Foreign Press chose to award.


This year culture continues to be intermingled with hot-button topics (rape, LGBT, civil rights) and the actors who portray these. Joanne Froggatt, the first winner of the night for her supporting character Anna Bates in "Downton Abbey", started off the night with a moving acceptance speech. Last season on the British TV show, the wife of the debonair Bates was raped by a visiting valet and her acting was well awarded. "After this story line aired, I received a small number of letters from survivors of rape. And one woman summed up the thoughts of many by saying she wasn't sure why she'd written, but she felt in some way she wanted to be heard. And I'd like to say I heard you and I hope saying this so publicly means in some way you feel the world hears you."

For the first time in Golden Globes history, and there were a few tonight, an Amazon-produced TV show "Transparent" won not only Best TV Series, Musical and Comedy but good old George Bluth Sr., Jeffrey Tambor, won for Best Actor. Why is this important? Well, not only is it produced by a website, following the success of the Netflix-produced "Orange is the New Black", but it is an autobiographical show about a family dealing with who they have known as their father and husband begins her transition into womanhood later in life. In the wake of Leelah Alcorn (which creator Jill Soloway dedicated the Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical award to), this win only helps the continuing visibility that transgenders have not had, since, well, the dawn of time. Tambor in his acceptance speech continues "I dedicate this award and my role to the transgender community. Thank you for letting us being a part of the change."



More hot button issues being paralleled in film were honored tonight includes Eddie Redmayne portraying Stephen Hawking in his descent (or ascent?) into ALS who won for Best Actor - Drama, Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television winner Matt Bomer won for "The Normal Heart" as a gay man plagued with AIDS, first time winner Gina Rodriguez won Best Acress in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical for her portrayal of a to-be teenaged mother in "Jane the Virgin", Julianne Moore won for Still Alice where she plays a woman who loses her ability to speak. The movie "Boyhood", not only a cinematic masterpiece of having been filmed over 12 years, won Best Movie, Best Director AND Best Supporting Actress for Patriica Arquette as a woman going through a divorce. Maggie Gylenhaal even won Best Actress in a TV Movie or Mini Series for "The Honourable Woman" as a business woman who attempts reconciliation between the Israelis and Palestinians.

Best Tweets of the Night

. They should put in the balcony like those dudes on the Muppets & leave their mics on.
 


Little known fact: Matt Bomer is literally carved out of marble by Zeus himself. If you look into his eyes, you'll see forever


Did Prince just hover across the stage? If he evaporated into thin air after giving the award, who would be surprised? No ONE.

Wish Tina Fey and Amy Poehler would host game night at my house but they won't respond to my evite. :-(

Prince is the most beautiful woman at the Globes.

Seriously, did Cosby find and now they're doped up and won't come back??
Seth Meyer started out the night with "We had comedies that made you laugh and comedies that made you cry because they were dramas submitted as comedies." So true and like a hodge podge of mismatched submissions, the Emmy's had a little of everything great or horrible. But then that is rather subjective..



The "Hell Yes"'es

I don't believe in hate speech and the whole spammerish "GO KILL YOURSELVES. WE DON'T CARE. EMMYS SUCK" bullshit so I intend on just sticking to the stuff that made me nerd out the hardest. And on the nerd-off scale at the very top, I must name all of the Sherlock wins tonight from Benedict-gorgeous-Cumberbatch winning the Outstanding Lead Actor for Sherlock: His Last Vow to Martin Freeman winning Outstanding Supporting Actor to STEVEN-FUCKING-MOFFAT for Outstanding Writing. I literally squealed like Zooey Deschanel upon discovering Louie C.K. won for Outstanding Comedy Writing...

Steven Moffatt winning for Oustanding Writing for a Mini-Series or Movie, Sherlock: His Last Vow
And when Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange won for American Horror Story: Coven? Yeah, loud happiness occurred because horror/fantasy is not typically a win-able genre at the Emmy's. It also seems really strange that while Kathy Bates deserved the win, the people who actually watched the show know her portrayal of Marie Laveau is a racist bigot who basically ends up as chopped limbs at the end of the show. Oops. Spoilers. But it was extraordinarily bittersweet watching Lange, who has been a consistent AHS alum since season 1, knowing that after this next season she will be retiring from acting.

Also, no one told me that Cary Joji Fukunaga was doing True Detective so when he ran up to the stage, my jaw literally fell on the floor. His resume is extremely solid from an underrated adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and from the direction of that, I do not blame the academy at all for letting him win with the multiple talents this man has. He directs! He produces! He writes! He understands cinematography and how cameras work! He does have an amazing ability of creating an ominous ambience. OK, I'm foreseeing a True Detective marathon in my near future, next to re-watching Grimm, finishing Community and Gilmore Girls for the umpteenth time but that's besides the point....


As for the comedy portion of the night, it was all the usual suspects that I was well-pleased probably a little more than the average Orange is the New Black fan, but I was so happy that Modern Family has remained intact with the Academy as well as Ty Burrell's win for best supporting actor. While some people could be annoyed by this, Modern Family is not the typical formulaic sitcom so of course it's going to be ushered in every year. If there would be an ensemble category, then, I think we could sift out the actor categories so others have a fair chance. And let's not get started how disappointed I am that Amy Poehler is leaving television without a single won Emmy... But as for Jim Parsons winning, what, the fourth year in a row? Because science, folks. Because. Science.

Steven Colbert. There is no other explanation as to why I'm so happy about this. Because Steven Colbert ... and the fact that this is his last year with the show before going to The Late Show, it was well deserved.

The Best One-Liners/Moments

"TV will always be the booty call of entertainment." - Seth Meyers

Everything that was between Jimmy Kimmel and Matthew McConaughey. "Matthew McConaughey doesn't even own a television. I happen to know for a fact he traded his television for a conch shell full of weed." "You won an Oscar six months ago. No offense, but how many of those speeches of yours are we supposed to sit through?Should we give you the BET award for best male hip-hop artist while we're at it? Look at that face. That's not a TV face. That's a movie-star face right there. Where's Ricky [Gervais]? Now that is a television face. Not even really a television face. It's a Netflix face." "Take your brother Rico and your bongo drums and get the hell out! And take Julia Roberts with you." "You beautiful son of a bitch."

"True or false, Maggie Smith doesn't give a shit about award shows." - Billy Eichner


[Singing] "Jon Hamm's liver won the Emmy because he's Jon-freaking-Hamm." - Weird Al Yankovic

"Despite any differences we may have, we must strive to remember that... there's one common truth that binds us all together; None of us will ever make as much money as Kim Kardashian did for her iPhone game." - Jimmy Fallon

"The Golden Globes have alcohol... Here everyone sits quietly in one place and waits for the pills to kick in. Tonight we are all Crazy Eyes." - Seth Meyers

"OK, hello. I am honored to announce the first award of the evening: best on-screen orgasm in a Civil War reenactment." - Amy Poehler

"We're all molecules and we are all shooting through space right now." - Sarah Silverman

"Hold on there, Clark Gable." - Julia Louis-Dreyfuss to Bryan Cranston with a pencil mustache (and apparently I was the only one who understood this reference)

Everything about comedian and Silicon Valley actor T.J. Miller describing director nominee Mike Judge from the cigarette to the weird woman dancing in the background and all the mocking pretentiousness.

"Robin Williams, what a concept." - Billy Crystal
When Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers high-fived. I need a .gif of that like yesterday!
"I love you and I loved the scenes in bed." - Bryan Cranston to Anna Gunn, winning Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series
Nailed it.
 
From Tina impersonating Barkhad Abdi ("I am the Captain now.") to Amy Poehler using Jennifer Lawrence as a stand-in for herself when bringing up her own Globes nomination, this year's Golden Globes started out with a bang. And like Glamour Magazine tweeted, "And for the 2nd year in a row, Tina and Amy made fun of everyone to perfection yet no one got offended. They are perfect" there is no better way to describe the opening monologue. They were perfect.  And I'm also guessing the Somalian pirates will definitely take Tina's come-on to come up to her hotel room.
 
  • (to side camera) "Scandal!" - Amy and Tina
  • "Everyone, sleep with your limo driver before he gets famous." - Amy Poehler
  • "He [Matthew McConaughey] had to lose 45 pounds for this movie or as actresses call it: being in a movie." - Tina Fey
  • Julia Louis-Dreyfuss in sunglasses and fake cigar sitting on the "movie" side of the room getting heckled by her fellow TV comic actresses. (note she was sitting with Reese Witherspoon! Badass.)
 
"Now it's time for the president's speech, or for those at home, a bathroom break." - Hollywood Foreign Press President, Theo Kingma
 
 
Damn.

What  can be better than Tina Fey and Amy Poehler taking over the Golden Globes January 13th of next year? Goddess, I have no clue either.

But it's happening and if there is not a skit before or after Best Lead Actress which alludes to their neck to neck competition during the Emmys, I'm going to be very disappointed. What could be better than a football match between the two of them with a Golden Man? 

... That sounds so wrong ...
