Belatedly, Here’s What Won At The Golden Globes

Posted on January 8, 2024 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Mostly because I felt like crap on Sunday night, I did not watch the Golden Globes. In fact, I was pretty much passed out during the majority of their run time. I woke up a few times and, whenever I checked social media, people were complaining about the host. Apparently, he made a mild joke about Taylor Swift that Taylor didn’t like and the Swifties came for him. Or something. Like I said, I was sick and I was running a fever and I really wasn’t sure what day it was.

Anyway, only now have I really gotten a chance to look at the winners. It was a good night for Oppenheimer and Poor Things, though who really knows how much influence the Globes have anymore. I mean, last year, they weren’t even aired and no one cared. The show has gone from being hosted by Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey to some guy who was occasionally a part of the Chelsea Lately panel. He should have known better than to make a joke about Taylor Swift. Not even I have the guts to do that and I actually enjoy being a contrarian.

Belatedly, here are the Globe winners!

Here Are The Golden Globe Nominations!

Posted on December 13, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

The good news is that, this year, the Golden Globes are not going to be televised so those of us who follow this sort of thing are not going to have to force ourselves to sit through the ceremony. Barb and Star will not be returning. We’ll get a break from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler bragging about their famous friends. No endless skits from SNL cast members. No …. what? Yes, I am still bitter about last year’s ceremony. SERIOUSLY, IT WAS PAINFUL!

Here Are The 78th Annual Golden Globe Nominations!

Posted on February 3, 2021 by Lisa Marie Bowman

I’m totally turned off by the self-importance of the Golden Globes and I resent every time that I have to write about them.

That said, despite the fact that no one is quite sure who actually votes for the damn things and stories of corruption in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association have been rampant for years, the Golden Globes have still emerged as one of the main Oscar precursors. So, you kind of have to pay attention to them. Bleh.

There really aren’t any huge shocks in the list of nominees below, with the exception of maybe Jared Leto for Best Supporting Actor and James Corden’s Prom nomination. I mean, if you’re that determined to nominate someone for The Prom, why would you go for James Corden as opposed to Meryl Streep? That’s just odd.

Here Are The Golden Globe Nominations!

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Here are the Golden Globe Nominees! Oddly, no one seems to have much respect for the people who give out the Golden Globes and the show itself is always kind of a drag but, for whatever reason, the Globes have become perhaps the biggest of the non-guild precursors. Getting a Golden Globe nomination will definitely help those who are trying to get the Academy’s attention right now.

My main thought on the nominees: Joker did really well. Uncut Gems went unmentioned, which will probably be the end of Adam Sandler’s Oscar campaign, unless he manages to snag a SAG nomination. It’s nice to see Dolemite Is My Name getting some attention. That’s a film that gets better the more that I think about it.

I don’t know — there’s not any terrible nominations or anything like that. I’m sorry that a few films and people were overlooked but it’s been a strong year for film and there’s a lot of legitimate contenders so there’s just not going to be room for everyone. It happens. There’s no outrageously terrible nominations, like when The Tourist was nominated several years ago. At the same time, the Golden Globes always leave me with feelings of malaise and ennui. I guess it’s because we are now leaving the “what if” phase of awards season and starting to get to the, “So, these are going to be our nominees” phase.

Here are the Golden Globe film nominations. If you want to see the TV nominees, do a freaking Google search …. or just click on this link to a full list of nominees!

Some thoughts on the Golden Globe Nominations

Posted on December 6, 2018 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Well, it happens every year.

The precursor season always starts with some unexpected winners and you start to think that maybe some of the year’s best indie films might be able to get some Oscar love. This season, for instance, I was excited to see the attention being given to Eighth Grade and, to a lesser extent, First Reformed. I was also excited to see that A Quiet Place and Black Panther were being remembered.

“Oh my God!” I thought, “Even if we already know that either Green Book or A Star is Born are going to win everything this year, the Oscar nominations could still be interesting!”

And then, as they do every year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had to come along and basically fuck everything up. For some reason, the HFPA have become one of the biggest of the precursor awards. Getting nominated for a Golden Globe is considered to be a major step for any Oscar contender. Getting ignored by the Golden Globes is enough to knock a previously strong contender out of the contest. Why is this? I’m not sure. The HFPA is a notorious bunch of star fuckers and it’s pretty much an open secret that almost anyone can buy a Golden Globe nomination if they’ve got enough money. But, for some reason, the annually mediocre Golden Globe nominations carry a lot of weight in Hollywood.

Anyway, this year’s nominations pretty much ignored all of the cool indie films that have come out this year. Elsie Fisher was nominated for Best Actress but otherwise, Eighth Grade was ignored. First Reformed was nominated for nothing. Hereditary was nominated for nothing. I am happy to see that Black Panther was nominated. That’s a step in the right direction in that film’s quest to be the first comic book movie to be nominated for best picture.

I guess what really bugs me is that Vice — a film that I have no desire to see — received the most nominations and is now definitely an Oscar contender. I’ve been told that Vice is even more smug and shallow than The Big Short. And now, I guess I have to see it. AGONY!

Anyway, here are the nominees. (Below are the film nominees. For the TV nominees, click here.)
