2017 Golden Globes Wrap Up

Jimmy Fallon started off the show well with a La La Land musical number full of stars but after an okay monologue, he was pretty much absent. I did a bit better this year with 18 out of 25 correct and would have been even better if I realized that the Hollywood Foreign Press was in love with The Night Manager. Some of the bizarre parts include the awkward presence of Questlove DJing on stage and the randomness of the category order (why wait until 30 minutes after all the rest of the television awards have been handed out and then give out Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy?) One of my highlights of the night was that Mel Gibson finally shaved off his beard. Also liked Meryl Streep's speech (and Viola Davis' introduction). Anyway, here are the winners:
