GOLDEN GLOBES 2021 DISCUSSION THREAD | Nomadland, Borat 2, Andra Day, Chadwick Boseman, SBC, Rosamund Pike win

[Eric Prime]

 

There's been a delay or so, but we're finally kicking off the awards ceremony season with the 78th Golden Globe Awards. This year is full of undeserved nominations, and the HFPA are being exposed for being super racist and a super fraud. But if there's one reason we all watch this show, it's to see celebrities get shitfaced drunk, supply some exciting GIFs, rage over our faves not winning, and hope that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler will say something funny but end up just being kind of awkward.

 

Does Hamilton deserve a Best Picture nomination? Why did Emily in Paris get all those noms? Will James Corden win it all? All these questions and more will be answered tonight!

 

As always, you guys know the rules. Be civil, be nice, have fun. Don't do anything stupid or you will get warning points. Enjoy!

[Eric Prime]

So I was looking at who was getting the honorary awards. NORMAN LEAR IS STILL ALIVE????

Ready for Glenn Close to begin her sweep towards finally winning her career Oscar...for a movie that's in the red on Metacritic. All via Zoom, no less.

 

This will be really dull in all likelihood. And the ratings are certain to be awful, as they will be for all awards shows this year.

Are they gonna do this one like the Emmys or is it actually gonna just be one big zoom call or something?

They will be presenting from LA (where Amy will be) and NYC (where Tina will be). Presenters are split between the two locations and I'm guessing the nominees/winners will be appearing from their homes.

What if Close sweeping the entire season only to have Colman taking statue away last minute at the Oscar? I believe Close will suicide on the spot.

I just wish Soul to win as the best animated movie (very likely) and Mandalorian to be the best TV show (unlikely).

 

For the rest, whatever.

Her war with that critic left a bad taste in my mouth. It's like she knew she had to do something drastic to gain attention

 

Anyway, rooting for Rosamund Pike

That opening monologue was great.

[filmlover]

Kaluuya's domination begins.

 

And lol technical glitches already. This is gonna be a catastrophe.

[WrathOfHan]

I was expecting Kaluuya to win SAG at the very least, so I think this will begin a sweep for him. Deserved!

Tina and Amy proving they are still the best Golden Globes hosts ever, even in a pandemic year and on opposite coasts. I was excited for this year's ceremony for them alone. I genuinely wish they would just settle into a permanent Globes residency and host every year. 

 

Peace,

Mike
