Golden Globes Recap

As usual, it was a fun show. I liked Tina and Amy’s opening comments but wished we could see them more throughout the broadcast.  I only got 54% correct this year. There are a couple that I should have known better, some way out there winners and some pleasant surprises. I was very happy to see The Grand Budapest Hotel win Best Comedy. I was annoyed that The Lego Movie lost to How to Train Your Dragon 2. I was surprised at the love for The Affair but was happy that Boyhood and Birdman and JK Simmons got their due. Anyway, here are the winners.
