#2 Posted by Bourbon_Warrior (4525 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Go Django? Woot Woot...

#3 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Christopher Waltz takes the first award for Django. Well deserved.

#4 Posted by ChinaDontCare (111 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

That dude was pretty good in that movie. Django

#5 Posted by ajkent (26 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Is Alex doing anything during the show? I miss his snark.

#6 Posted by TooWalrus (11827 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Oh, is that tonight?

...great. Glad to hear Django's doing well.

#7 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

@ajkent: He is tweeting.

#8 Posted by zombie2011 (4667 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

After seeing the horrible noms for the Oscars, I feel the Globes got it right.

I hope Denzel wins for Flight, that movie was amazing.

#9 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Good thing about the Golden Globes? Getting to know what terrible TV ads America has.

#10 Posted by TruthTellah (3565 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

I... am enjoying it more than I expected.

That woman with the false teeth was unexpected and amusing.

#11 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Oh, call me maybe. That was . . bad.

#12 Edited by TruthTellah (3565 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Wait, the guy from Homeland is British?

*mind explodes*

And now Salma Hayek and that guy from those movies is just standing there for a minute instead of announcing the best TV series nominees. This is like the Oscars stopped caring, and it's actually entertaining!

#13 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

OH! First major fuck up! Great.

#14 Posted by ChinaDontCare (111 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

NIC CAGE SHOULD TAKE ALL

#15 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

And what's up with all the love for Homeland? I don't get it.

You know who else is British? Christian Bale.

*runs to bomb shelter*

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

Just in case you already knew that Bale was British, he, like Damian Lewis, is mistaken by many to be American because of all his appearances in American media.

#17 Posted by TruthTellah (3565 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

@Yummylee: heh. Yeah, I am aware of Christian Bale's Britishness. It's pretty obvious, isn't it? He has that British look.

#18 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Wow, Kevin Costner looks bummed out for winning.

#19 Edited by ChinaDontCare (111 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

You've mixed retarded politics with my retarded award show

Also

CLINTON FREED THE SLAVES

#20 Posted by TruthTellah (3565 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Even Kevin Costner wanted Benedict Cumberbatch to win.

And I think we just watched a whole room of actors orgasm at once when Clinton appeared on stage.

#21 Posted by ImmortalSaiyan (4186 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Is Ricky Gervais there again?

#22 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Too bad Quentin didn't just said "I'm not your slave. You're not my master", dropped the mic and left.

Still, well deserved award.

#23 Posted by Legion_ (674 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

KON TIKI

should have won.

#24 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Wow, Jodie Foster. That was . . . something.

#25 Posted by Legion_ (674 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

That speech was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Was she high?

#26 Posted by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

I was definitely not ready for that. I still don't totally get the message Jodie was trying to pass along. Mel didn't either.

#27 Edited by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Twitter response to Jodie is hilarious. Also, Ben Affleck for Best Director? What? Although him comparing PT Anderson to Orson Welles made it slightly better.

#28 Posted by Egg0 (141 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Argo was my movie of the year last year, I feel it's welled deserved for Affleck. Now I feel it's probably not going to win Best Motion Picture, considering Zero Dark Thirty hasn't won best screenplay or director. Chances are, it's getting Best Motion Picture.

#29 Edited by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

What did Dustin just said? I didn't get that, can you repeat?

Well, Moonrise Kingdom got robbed.

Edit: Ha, but Jessica Chastain was a well deserved winner.

#30 Edited by Acura_Max (40 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Arog wins Best motion drama. I didn't think they would pick that over Zero Dark Thirty.

#31 Posted by Milkman (14004 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

I'm tuning in late but who was that women on stage for Argo because holy wow?

#32 Posted by Breadfan (6056 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

That was actually fairly enjoyable to watch.

#33 Edited by Winternet (7344 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

Guess they really liked Argo, huh?

Worst of the night: tied between Moonrise Kingdom losing to Les Miserables and that Pepsi commercial

Best of the night: Jodie Foster

What kind of movie is it? I try my best to avoid trailers these days as they are spoiler fests.

Great acting in it, not as great as last season, but some great characters so still worth watching.

#36 Posted by ImaTreee (201 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

@Winternet: that pepsi commercial was painful to watch once... watching it multiple times was really a test of my patience.

It didn't stand a chance against les miserables, but they should've been in different categories. I thought the point of a best comedy/musical was to give lighthearted movies a chance to shine alongside the serious drama that the hollywood foreign press is so in love with. Les Miserables doesn't really fit the spirit of the category.

#38 Posted by TruthTellah (3565 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

@ImmortalSaiyan: It was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Quite amusing pair. Overall a more haphazard and funny Golden Globes.

@Winternet: @Legion_: I actually quite liked Jodie Foster's speech. She seemed to have two points. That privacy is something under-appreciated in modern society and one day we may find it as just a memory. Which is especially relevant to her life, as someone who has been on screen for her entire life. And her other point was to keep pushing forward and be yourself in the face of it all. She never had a father, as he left before she was born; thus her saying the cast and crew were her fathers. And her mother was always an antagonist in her life, telling her that she would fail. And in the face of that, she has done what she wants to do and achieved quite a bit. Her mother is suffering through dementia right now, and so, she was hoping that she might hear her speech and grasp that despite it all she still loves her.

@Milkman: The woman on stage for Zero Dark Thirty was Jessica Chastain, the star of the movie.

A surprisingly enjoyable Golden Globes with a lot better picks than the Oscars. Only disappointed about Cumberbatch not winning for best actor in mini-series, but hey, can't get em all right.

#39 Posted by Phatmac (5258 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

We all learned tonight that Jodie Foster is fucking insane.

#40 Posted by Milkman (14004 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

@TruthTellah: No, I was talking about at the very end for Argo. She was only on screen for a second and she might have just been someone's wife but she was gorgeous.

Les Miserables doesn't fit in the comedy/musical category?

No I think she was going to come out but got nervous and just made up a speech on the spot. I wouldn't call her insane.

#43 Posted by TruthTellah (3565 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

@Milkman: Oh. Could you describe her more? Perhaps she was a wife, but I'm guessing she was one of the cast.

She's fucking brilliant is what she is. She just expressed some great sentiments in a somewhat nervous manner.

#45 Posted by Milkman (14004 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

@TruthTellah: I'm sure it will be on YouTube soon. Then I'll find her and we'll be together at last....

What?

Now you've got me intrigued. Although our tastes might be vastly different.

#48 Posted by Raven10 (1174 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago

So Jodie Foster just came out? Or am I missing something. According to Yahoo she just came out. Well I guess better late than never.

Expected all of the winners from the movie side. Haven't really seen enough of the movies to know how accurate they were, but nothing happened I didn't expect.

I think I found her. She was in that movie "Dog President" and received a nomination for best actress in a mini-series.

heh. Jodie Foster came out almost three decades ago. I mean, she was with another woman for over 14 years, and she has never suggested that she was straight. You can find references to her girlfriends over many years.

I suppose this is the most upfront she has been about it though.
