Thin-skinned celebrities look to eviscerate Donald Trump at the Golden Globe Awards

The Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday

Host Jimmy Fallon:

"Welcome to the Golden Globes, one of the few places in America where the popular vote still counts."

"What would it be like if Psychotic King Joffrey had lived? Well, in 12 days we’re going to find out.” (reference to Game of Thrones Character).

"Even Florence Foster Jenkins turned down performing at Trump’s inauguration".

"The Accounting firm of 'Ernst and Young and Putin' has tabulated the votes for Tonight’s winners"

[Don Corleone]

PLAY ACTORS!!!

A bunch of them criticized Trump. But it would take a lot more than that to ‘eviscerate’ him.

[jazminerose]

Overpaid narcissists gathered to worship themselves.

The children are upset.

“All of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now.”

How many of you have been tortured live on Facebook?

[Ciaphas Cain]

A fairly well known individual in entertainment circles told me last night that I didn't know what I was talking about when I said that there was a disconnect between Hollywood and the rest of America. This person defended celebrities, arguing that they have to deal with people all the time and have to travel and so of course this makes them more knowledgeable and understanding of the real world than regular non-celebrities.

There is no rationalizing with someone like that.

Brown Nosers on parade..........................

Good word.

Its fun watching the left “eviscerate” themselves.:)

All they have is childish name calling and fake news.
Which is worthless because, well, its fake.

At least half of them should be in a mental health facility for some extensive O & E.

Self-Righteous hypocrites bump for later....

“All of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now,”

You mean a basket of deplorables?

[babble-on]

This is such an important story. Glad that the media is focused on the Trump versus Streep/Fallon battle of wits. Clash of titans.

Did you ever wonder why there’s lots of great child actors but no great child bricklayers or electricians? Me neither.

The sad reality is that a significant percentage of the population worships these celluloid celebrities and take what they say seriously. If Trump does nothing else but destroys the influence of those who make their living pretending to be other people, he will leave the country better than he found it. Top three targets, Meryl Streep, Jimmy Fallon and Samuel Jackson. Take a page from Obama and use the IRS to hound the liberal Hollywood producers. Fight back effectively. Make them howl for real.

Hugh Laurie, accepting his award for best supporting actor in “The Night Manager,” also indulged in Trump jokes, speculating that this would perhaps be the last Golden Globes ceremony.

“I don’t mean to be gloomy, but it has the words ‘Hollywood,’ ‘foreign’ and ‘press’ in the title,” Laurie said, explaining his pessimism about the awards surviving the Trump era. He added that some Republicans don’t even like the word “association.”

He accepted his award “on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere.”

“All of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now,” said Meryl Streep, who was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award, the Globe’s lifetime achievement award, in her acceptance speech. “Think about it. Hollywood, foreigners, and the press. … So Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners and if we kick them all out you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.”

She actually said this? This reads like a parody of the self-important celebrity.

[circlecity]

"if we kick them all out you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.”

She says that like it's a bad thing.

[Terry Mross]

It is my opinion, based on experience, that actors are seriously mentally I’ll.

[SeekAndFind]

"if we kick them all out you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.”

Who is Trump kicking out again? The problem with Ms. Streep and the rest of Hollywood is they fail to distinguish between those who are here LEGALLY and those who are here ILLEGALY.

I wouldn't want Trump to use the IRS as a weapon. I'd rather he eliminate the IRS to be honest. When it comes to celebrities, I like the use of his verbal killshots (e.g., "overrated actress"). These people get far too much respect. Trump should continue to do the opposite.
