Golden Globes: The winners list

The Golden Globes’ nominees and winners

My takeaways:

1. I have never watched The Kominsky Method, but I guess I should take a look at it. I was impressed by both Barry and Kidding, but Kominsky beat them both.

2. If the HFPA lost Ricky Gervais’s phone number, they need to find it. That Samberg-Oh monologue was the most excruciating award show bore since Ellen Degeneres vacuumed around the Oscars. And if they can’t find Gervais, get anyone else, even the most boring showbiz people imaginable. How about Ben Stein, The Situation, Harrison Ford and Terrence Malick? Any of them would have been an improvement. Billy Crystal’s outdated schtick would have been better. Just about anyone would have been better.

OK, maybe not James Franco and Anne Hathaway .

  1. Samberg excels at silly improv humor. When you put him up there in a tux reading a teleprompter, he seems tight & uncomfortable. They’ll never learn. If the Oscars use Bill Murray, they’ll put him in the same situation and it’ll be a disaster.

  2. Part of the issue was the different styles of Oh and Sandberg. He did the nice roasting shtick at the Franco roast and it was absolute gold. But he has no ability to gain momentum trading back and forth with her. And while I appreciated her genuine excitement and enthusiasm, she’s not a comedian and was not at home reading off the prompter. Crappy situation for both of them. They are better than they came across.

  3. You mean someone WRITES that crap? It’s pre-meditated? Maybe if they just got some drinks in Scaramucci and let him blather…
