Awards: The Golden Globes Recap

I’m so glad I don’t take The Golden Globes as seriously as the Oscars. I got 60% this year, which is better than last year’s abysmal 40%. I was happy that Homeland and Kelsey Grammar won their categories even though it cost me some correct predictions. I was surprised Meryl Streep beat Viola Davis, (and I think Streep was equally surprised). I was annoyed that Laura Dern won over Zooey Deschanel for best comedy actress, it’s only because it’s HBO. Ricky Gervais was funny again this year, yet a bit more tame. It seemed all the presenters had their own Ricky Gervais jokes ready. Anyway, here are the winners.
