70th Golden Globes - Discussion Thread (Winners in 1st Post)

[rockNrollaDIM]

This was an epic thread. 63 pages in just a few hours!

Mhmm, and we've coined another Fishnets exclusive, Anne-oying. Take it and run with it people.

Winners: Argo (obviously) Les Mis (beating SLP has to be pretty good for Universal if only because it's something they can advertise) Django (supporting actor and screenplay were both surprises) Losers: SLP (Lawrence was the only one who could get actress so it almost went home emptyhanded tonight. No Cooper and no Comedy/Drama is bad news) Lincoln (Argo took both of its big awards but TLJ didn't win either. It's still the frontrunner but it needs to start showing strength with a PGA win and a SAG Ensemble win)

By that logic only Amour is left standing. Prepare yourself riczhang.

It's not winning picture, but directing isn't impossible. It could get a late surge at BAFTA a la Pianist which is actually a fairly apt comparison. They just need to see the goddamn movie which they will now and it'll do very well I think with the Academy. I think it could end up winning Director, Actress, Screenplay, and Foreign. Lincoln will still end up winning.

S. Actor not really a surprise they just awarded the unlikelier winner.

Les Miz is probably the one nominee I'm absolutely certain can't win anymore.

Why wasn't the forum chat open? It was so fun to talk in there during the 2012 elections. Hopefully it will be up again for the Oscars.

It's open 24/7 now.

I think SLP takes the SAG

Another good gif from tonight. I'm going to use it now for some posts on here

That's just such a douche reaction. Could hurt him in the awards race.

I think Beasts of the Southern Wild as well, those 4 nominations are the reward Edited January 14, 2013 by forg

Anyone who says that Argo winning GG is a mark against Lincoln is wrong. Statistically, in the last decade winning the GG in drama is the mark of death for BP at the Academy Awards. So, Argo is out of the lineup for good, which it already was.

:rofl:LMFAOI can't believe I already forgot the Mother Theresa trailer. Jesus Christ.

Except Mother Theresa isn't in any of the Lincoln trailers.

It is. It was in one of the presidential debate trailers along with nelson mandela and luther king I think.

[The Futurist]

The only certainties are Anne & DDL.The rest we just don't have a clue ...

[Kvikk Lunsj]

I am glad Argo won a major award. Argo was such a good movie.

[Sims]

At this point, PTA and The Master are probably going to win on write-in campaigns.

No, it`s ddddeeee`s exclusive. He coined it, it`s his credit.

It's MLK, Mandela, US Soldiers at D-Day and Iwo Jima, Suffragettes, Gandhi, and Lower Manhattan skyline post 9/11. No Theresa.
