Well, here we are at the first stop of awards season and easily the most entertaining show of them all – mainly because they cut out all the boring sound/editing awards. As Amy Poehler put it “Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat faced people of television”. So, if you weren’t cool/pathetic enough to stay up for the Golden Globes on Sunday night, read our quick recap to bring you up to speed.
(Disclaimer: the views and bitchiness below are entirely my own but are the truth so, like, whatever)
The Dresses
This may be a film blog but half the fun of awards season is bitching about the dresses (or weird backwards dressing gowns and leggings if you’re Emma Watson).
Best Dressed: LUPITA NYONG’O.
She is just a perfect queen and that is a perfect cape and I hope she wins everything.
Worst Dressed: JENNIFER LAWRENCE.
I hope her contract ends with Dior because they keep sending these ugly dresses and it’s just not fair. I mean, she’s won an Oscar and could be on her way to winning her second (though hopefully not) and this is the best they can give her??
The Presenters
It’s Amy Poehler and Tina Fey and they took swipes as George Clooney, Taylor Swift, Leo and Martin Scorsese: that should say it all.
The Winners
You can find a full list of the winners anywhere so instead let’s focus on the big important ones.
Best Motion Picture (Drama): 12 YEARS A SLAVE (yes yes yes)
Best Motion Picture (Comedy/Musical): AMERICAN HUSTLE (nope nope nope)
Best Director: ALFONSO CUARON (yeah)
Best Actress (Drama): CATE BLANCHETT (yes yes yes)
Best Actress (Comedy/Musical): AMY ADAMS (fine ok whatever)
Best Actor (Drama): MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY (yeah fine whatever)
Best Actor (Comedy/Musical): LEONARDO DICAPRIO (FINALLY!!!!!)
Best Supporting Actress: JENNIFER LAWRENCE (ha Ha HA ok)
Best Supporting Actor: JARED LETO (ok?)
So there’s a three hour show condensed into less than 400 words (and luckily for you, we left out the bit where they honoured a child molester). With the Golden Globes done and dusted, I hope you continue to join us for more snarkiness, bitching and, obviously, serious insights throughout this year’s awards season.
