TheGolden Globesare one of Hollywoodsdrunkestand silliest awards shows, but this year it was exceedingly lukewarm.
In the end, Hollywoods big boozy night felt closer to hangover than buzz.
HIGH: Look, were not going to call Gervaiss opening monologue a high.
But you know whatwaspretty fun?
Egyptians love Michael Douglas.
(Though given that the show wasChernobyl, happy was never really in play.)
Am I … gay?
McKinnon remembers wondering to herself as a young girl.
I was … and I still am!
And then she and DeGeneres both tried really hard not to cry.
LOW: Gervaiss relentless dependence onCatsjokes throughout the evening.
LOW: Quentin Tarantino thanks … no one?
But after all the thanking to no one in particular, it felt pretty half-hearted.
This is his way of warning us all that he will be singing inWest Side Story, isnt it?
In a night of people dancing around or vaguely alluding to politics, thank Arquette for saying things directly.
HIGH: Another classic Olivia Colman acceptance speech, who won for her performance inThe Crown.
HIGH: Tom Hanks accepts the Cecil B. DeMille award, and everyone in the room weeps.
But then he moves on to the menschiest, Tom Hanksiest speech anyone couldve hoped for.
He does an impression of Cecil B. DeMille!
BRO: Brad Pitt promises his pal LDC he wouldve fixed the ending ofTitanic.
HIGH: Awkwafina hugsThe Farewells Zhao Shuzhen as she heads to the stage to accept her Golden Globe.
Just a nice tender little moment for you.
This years ceremony, however, reflects the nominees: pretty white and fairly male!
(Still, she wasgreatat yelling Chernooobyl!)
What a good way to end the show, because isnt that what awards shows are really for anyway?
Just in case you really missed him, though, he did show up again at the end.
