Ozymandias Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 lol #BohemianRhapsody (62%) wins Best Motion Picture - Drama at the #GoldenGlobes pic.twitter.com/ZxXscf0QiR— Rotten Tomatoes (@RottenTomatoes) January 7, 2019 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Here's what I want to see. I want to see the Golden Globes lose some of their legitimacy. And you might ask me, "Slambros. Haven't they already lost their legitimacy?" Well, not really. They'll lose their legitimacy when the Oscars disagree with them in a profound way. What I'm asking for is this: a Best Picture winner that is any other film than Bohemian Rhapsody, Green Book, and, by extension, Vice. I want to see a film like Star is Born, Beale Street, Favourite, Klansman, even Black Panther win over films like those. And let's get an A24 Best Picture nomination while we're at it. Let's show the Golden Globes that they can't just slap a lower-level film with a Best Picture award and expect it to win Best Picture.

filmlover Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I love Stone in The Favourite (and her in general) but she has absolutely no path to a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) How about instead of arguing over legitimacy we should support the idea of different major award shows doing their own thing instead of trying to predict the Oscars. Let the Globes be the Globes, that's fine, they do their thing. Edited January 7, 2019 by 4815162342 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Honestly, if Bohemian Rhapsody were better reviewed (or at least wasn’t almost completely made by a controversial director), it would probably be our automatic Best Picture winner with how much of a sensation it’s become.

Cap Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I am so glad I turned off this nonsense for The Music Man (1962). Had a lovely evening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamera Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Glenn Close will be campaigning non-stop for the Oscar. Olivia Coleman is thrilled to be on a private jet. Close wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Both Three Billboards and Lady Bird won here last year and both ended up losing and two years prior to that saw The Revenant and The Martian as winners and they also lost so can everyone please calm down for now?

Rorschach Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Everyone: Bohemian Rhapsody being nominated is scary enough but ROMA and A Star is Born are clearly the frontrunners regardless. The HFPA: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlangonz Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Those two last awards... I wonder for who they were the most awkward, Bradley Cooper or Sacha Baron Cohen? Edited January 7, 2019 by Carlangonz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
