Well, my choices would’ve been conclave and the substance but oh well. OK I need figure skating how much longer until nationals…

My choice was Nikki Glaser....a lot of Jayhawks were watching her, a fellow Hawk, tonight and she sparkled.

Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy): "Emilia Perez"

for Anora!!!!!!!!!!

LOL. Nobody here who has seen this movie seems to like it. Why do the critics love it?

What I’ve heard is that Emilia Pérez has been received far more favorably outside the U.S. than it has here. And Golden Globes has more international voters than SAG, Critics Choice, and the Oscars.

It's on my watchlist, but I keep ignoring it because I don't know anyone who has seen it and liked it.

Good for Demi Moore! She was great/ I hope she wins everything. The popcorn actress line is going to be big help to her!

Yes but he's been doing movie scores for years now. IIRC he won his first Oscar for The Social Network.

I am old.

How many films in the comedy/musical category
I've actually always wondered about that. Does it have anything to do with happy endings when so many suffered and so few escaped a dreadful fate?

Partially. But it also (I’m sorry, I’m going to go PI here for a hot minute) has to do with times when Jews feel threatened again for one reason or another, which is certainly the case these days. Which might also have something to do with a movie about a trans woman winning.

Politics are everywhere.

ETA: The Pianist won during the second intifada. Zone of Interest won best foreign last year. Garden of Finzi-Continis won best foreign in 1970 with terrorist bombs going off everywhere.

The one exception to my mind is Schindler’s List which was just a really excellent movie. But it did coincide with the year our Museum opened (I got to meet the stars at the DC premiere) and with genocide in Bosnia.

 

[Vash01]

WAIT. This is Adrien Brody’s first Golden Globe? He didn’t win for The Pianist?

Unless he wins SAG, Timothée isn’t winning the Oscar. GEESH, he’s been having one of the weirdest Oscar campaigns ever.



I think that’s likely the Oscar five.

I think DDL may have won, though I don’t remember. I do remember how shocked Brody was when he won the Oscar. I don’t remember who won SAG that year. I am pretty sure it wasn’t him.

 

[puglover]

I am somewhat glad that arrogant Hugh Grant didn't win although I have no intention of seeing The Heretic so not based on his acting. I am glad Baby Reindeer got recognition as anyone who has experience with a stalker knows what it is to be truly terrified and feel totally powerless to stop it.

 

[peibeck]

That’s mostly everyone so far. Apparently, The Brutalist is epically good.

But that’s been my biggest beef with this awards season. A lot of people want to see these movies (The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, September 5, etc.) But the production companies (A24, Paramount) loves to do limited releases with these for some reason. Which is crazy considering how low budget these films are. The Brutalist was made with only $10M, for example.

That really isn't a new strategy for Oscar bait, especially for smaller budget movies from "art house studios."

Jack Nicholson won for "About Schmidt"

 

[Vash01]

I am so happy for Demi Moore! I think many people- including yours truly- have dreams of success that are never fulfilled. Her award and speech give hope to many. I think she had the best speech tonight. I think Adrien Brody’s speech was also very touching. He was very emotional. The third good speech for me was by Sebastian Stan.

I wish these award shows could be shorter. I hate the pseudo humor every announcer brings in (I know someone wrote it for them) and stretches every announcement. All I want is -

Category
Nominees
Winner
Acceptance speech

The commercials went on for so long! I missed most of the football game. It’s almost over now. It was one sided,so I didn’t miss much. Happy that Detroit won.

 

[Vash01]

What is so great about Emilia Perez that it won so many awards? Is it even worth trying to find out?

 

[Vash01]

Jack Nicholson won for "About Schmidt"

Thank you. I couldn’t even remember who the other nominees were.

At your own risk

 

[Vash01]

I just discovered that the Brutalist opens Thursday Night, so I won’t be able to see it on Jan 9. I am going to check out of the hotel in Scottsdale that morning. Will need to drive to Scottsdale another day. It could be a few days after Jan 9 before I can see it

The best and the worst of tonight’s Golden Globe awards

The best and worst moments from the 2025 Golden Globes

Here are the best and worst moments from the 2025 Golden Globes, including host Nikki Glaser (she killed it!), camera weirdness, Vin and Dwayne, and more.

Ok Nikki got praised

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

So they did the Cecil B DeMille award and the Carol Burnett award on January 3? This will no longer be part of the telecast? I was wondering when Viola got up there I’m like wait did I miss something? No one came out and gave a speech about her…

 

[Vash01]

At your own risk

I looked up RT. They gave it 76 - not too shabby.
Their critics seemed to like the originality. I am afraid I may not like it.

 

[PRlady]

Apparently both Mexicans and the trans community hate Emilia Perez. It’s like Green Book patting the Black community on its head, a movie that makes its white filmmakers feel good.

 

[Kasey]

Exactly. The movie is pandering incarnate

 

[jenny12]

Wow, horrible night for Anora. I really liked that movie and thought it would at least get a screenplay award. I was rooting for Mikey Madison, but I'm always happy for Demi Moore. What an awesome speech!

That looked very strange. Viola thanked them for her Cecil B DeMille award but I didn’t see it. I wondered if I had missed it while I was watching football? Later I discovered that they didn’t show it at all.

 

[my little pony]

I see EVERYTHING and Emilia Perez is my favorite movie of the year (so far). But I do not see it winning Oscars other than maybe foreign film. The Brutalist is 2nd. I really wasnt that interested in the Brutalist but I got to go to a screening with the director. I can see Oscar voters liking the Brutalist because it cost no money but doesnt look it. It mostly takes place in the US. Although Adrian Brody's character did survive a camp, I don't really think of it as a Holocaust movie because it is more about how he lives in the US and the rich weirdo that hires him.

Golden Globes Analysis: What the 'Emilia Pérez' and 'Brutalist' Wins and 'Anora' Shutout Tell Us About the Oscar Race

Golden Globes Analysis: What the 'Emilia Pérez,' 'Brutalist' Wins and 'Anora' Shutout Tell Us About the Oscar Race — The Hollywood Reporter

THR's executive editor of awards weighs in after the 2025 ceremony.

Some will argue that these films embody everything that is "wrong" with Hollywood -- that it is, allegedly, longwinded, preachy and out of touch with the "real" world -- even though neither of them were really made in Hollywood and the Golden Globes are voted on by journalists based around the world who work for non-American media outlets. Others will insist that they are precisely the sort of audacious and humanistic works that should be made and celebrated.

 

[Vash01]

Should I see these movies?

Anora
A different man
Substance
The last showgirl

I wanted to see The Apprentice before the elections, but now I don’t.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Should I see these movies?

Anora - Knowing with this is about, I have no interest. So it’s up to you.

A different man - I’m interested myself after his win last night

Substance - probably one of my favorite films of the year, but this is absolutely not for everyone at all. It also has a meaning to it that I appreciate that some don’t

The last showgirl - for me an absolute yes! everyone here knows I love a transformation and you see both Pamela Anderson and also Jamie Lee Curtis transform themselves in ways You haven’t seen them before.

Anora is a pretty good movie, but you may want to skip it if explicit scenes bother you. Because there’s a lot of them. I still find it amazing that it didn’t get hit with a NC-17 rating.

A Different Man is a black comedy film about a man dealing with his facial disfigurement. Stan is great in this (and in The Apprentice as well), but you may not like watching the topic.

I still haven’t seen The Substance, but it’s a body horror film. And apparently, the last scenes are in gore.

I plan on seeing The Last Showgirl next weekend - assuming I can get out of the snow.
