Will Hollywood be in the mood to party at Golden Globes?

On Sunday, the movie industry will gather for the Golden Globes, which are regularly one of the most freewheeling and frothiest award shows of the year. Champagne will flow. Punchlines will fly.

But the tone of this year's ceremony may be different, and not just because it will be the first time in nearly a decade that someone other than Ricky Gervais or the Tina Fey-Amy Poehler duo is hosting.

Jimmy Fallon will emcee this year's show, to be broadcast live from Beverly Hills, Calif., by NBC at 8 p.m. EST Sunday. But the transition on the minds of Hollywood is the one taking place in Washington on January 20. The election of Donald Trump has loomed over this year's awards season, where the movie industry's usual self-congratulatory toasting has been mixed with a foreboding sense of dread.

I thought they all moved out of the country?

Well, come January 20th,Hank Williams Jr - All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight

I haven’t watched the Globes in years, for sure not going to watch them this time. Trump derangement syndrome will be horrible.

[faithhopecharity]

very few American citizens care much at all if Hollywood parties or not

[ronnie raygun]

I dont watch any of these shows, especially the music awards which is not music at all

Those poor Hollywierdos. How will they ever survive.

I thought they all left and moved to Venezuela and North Korea, their Commie paradise..what happened..couldn’t leave their zillions behind??

[Sarah Barracuda]

The Hollywood left has proved over and over again they are IRRELEVANT..Clinton had big name stars begging people to vote for her and they didnt..no one cares what celebrities have to say anymore..they live behind brick walls but want open borders

[Dilbert San Diego]

What a crazy article; what a crazy premise to start with. We are supposed to worry about Hollywood idiots and their angst about Trump becoming president??? Really????

The Golden Globes is just airheads awarding other airheads for being airheads. There’s a reason that the Romans considered entertainers to be lower on the social scale than prostitutes.

The older I get, the more I loathe these awards shows. Is it not enough that these people make tons of money for playing dress-up-and-pretend? No they have to get together and tell each other how great they are at dress-up-and-pretend. And take the opportunity to lecture us plebes, living real lives, on their cause-du-jour. what's the line on how long before there is a Trump-bashing one-liner? Two minutes? Thirty seconds?

You know they don't give a f**k about anybody else...

yes. the damned phone company calls us on average 5 times each day......trying to sell us their cable TV service....
we have told them a hundred times NO we do not watch TV..
we have asked them to stop calling. we have reported them to the government do not call people. we have tried putting a call blocker on the line (but the one we got didn’t work),

TV is 95% krap, not worth watching anymore.
it has really super-gone down hill.
same for most movies.
Hollywood at one time (for whatever its politics) had some excellent actors (who mostly did NOT try to cram their stupid political ideas down our throats)....and directors, just look at some of the old movies or even some of the TV programs from 30 or 40 years ago ... dated, maybe, but you can see right away the superior talents

today, Forget it!

I don’t even know what the *** it is. *** them anyway.

[Rummyfan]

And Ricky Gervais is just a mean little sh*t... but at least he took them down a peg.

TV is 95% krap, not worth watching anymore. it has really super-gone down hill. same for most movies.

One flick I really enjoyed this year was Hell and High Water. Very un-PC.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I imagine they’ll be nothing but a lot of crying, whining and tantrums. They should just pass on the Globes this year until the Hollyweird kiddies can get over their mental instability.

[faithhopecharity]

thanks for the mention...

I do realize I am missing out on a few good movies or programs......by my having turned Hollywood OFF 99%

i will look for the movie your mentioned, thanks.

it is very very slow but i am gradually picking up dvd’s of some of the best old movies and even a couple tv shows...
and i AM open to being entertained by new talent, too...if they do good flicks...but for the most part, its garbage and just Formula Flicks and action special effects nowadays, glitz but no guts
