Golden Globes 2024 Recap

 

Here’s my recap of the Golden Globes last night.

·         Don’t know who host Jo Koy is but he was awful. Not one funny joke. It was so cringe watching him in his opening monologue. I think he was the only one laughing. Classy move to throw your writers under the bus. What an ass.

·         Koy made a comment that the Globes would show fewer shots of Taylor Swift than an NFL game. I counted a whole lot of Taylor.

·         Just like last year’s Abbot Elelmentary, maybe don’t put front runner Beef in the back so they have to walk a gauntlet of celebrities to make it to the stage.

·         I should probably watch Beef.

·         Julia Garner’s dress was so glittery; it was reflecting on her face.

·         The trophy looks different this year. And apparently heavier.

·         Watch the PDA Mark Ruffalo. Were there not enough seats so your wife had to sit your lap during the show?

·         The show thought Suits would get a bigger response. Nope.

·         I liked some of the speeches, Kieran Culkin and Robert Downey Jr. stood out to me.

·         I got 23 out of 27 categories ‘correct’

·         The Bear should be a drama. The thirty-minute run-time shouldn’t make it a comedy.

·         Surprised to see Anatomy of a Fall winning screenplay and Poor Things getting the Comedy Best Picture win.
