This will be discussed by advertisers when next year rolls around, and the network probably will see a 30-percent drop in advertising rates. I won’t suggest next year will be the end of the show, but if it follows this trend...they might end up on some lesser cable network and no real cash flow supporting the show.
I think 50-percent of people would prefer to just watch the clip of winners only, and have the speeches totally deleted.
Only the hopelessly vapid would sit through three hours of that crap and seek moral instruction or inspiration from a bunch of whores.
“Oprah Winfrey led the way when she lectured the nation and white males for the monstrous sexual abuse culture in Hollywood during her Golden Globes speech.”
Horse pucky. She went on about some alleged rape from the Jim Crow era. Then general man-hate and how women were in charge now. She is buddies with Winestien and therefore part of the problem.
News flash for Hollywood: the Deplorables aren’t as stupid as you think.
Enjoy your slide into oblivion.
For the life of me, I cannot understand how anyone could watch — again — this orgy in self-congratulation. That’s all liberals seem to do, unceasingly congratulate themselves and give each other awards based upon the reinforcement of their ideological dogma. It is all so self-centered, this worship of self.
The ratings were down by 5%.
(((
Most disappointed to see such a small number.
I am not interested in any of the Hollywood drivel to begin with, so I would not be tuning in even if they were not lecturing.
***they would lecture the nation on sexual abuse at the annual festivities. ***
When we were young we were taught to be gentlemen around the ladies. Then we went to the movies and saw it was A-OK to get a girl in a steam room and remove her clothes. After all, James Bond and Matt Helm did it!
It was OK to do like Robert Redford and walk up to a pretty girl, put your left arm around her shoulder and with your right arm reach under her sweater and fondle her breasts.
Then we learned it was OK to spy on girls in the shower!
If it was in the movies, it is normal to do, isn’t it! As Roger Ebert said years ago, if a girl does not want to do a nude scene there are hundreds of girls in the wings waiting to drop their clothes and parade around naked.
Only liberals can be the evil doers and then project their own behavior and evils on a general enemy CLASS of humans. In this case, it is liberal Hollywood and democrat politicians that are the evil baddies abusing women. But they clammier up to their alter (microphone & camera) and preach about how all WHITE MEN are evil and “Times up!”
Like all morally grounded, Christian value based, red blooded American, I condemn all unjust violence against women. But it is frustrating to now be in the cross hairs of leftist hate (again) because liberal men in Holywood and DC are evil perverts.
What’s next, blaming white men today for slavery in America? (sarc)
What’s a Hollywood?
My idea of the people who sit in awe watching all these Hollywood and music endless awards shows:
Middle aged women tucked on the couch wearing an old bathrobe with curlers in her hair and eating stale popcorn or chocolate bon-bons, living vicariously through the fake people on the tube...
Everyone knows most of these women willingly did things to advance their careers and now they are washed-up has been it’s all the man’s fault. Easy to clear one’s conscience when accusations are considered proof.
The jokes were pedantic reruns of what is seen on SNL, the news and many other outlets.
Always up for a good joke, even against Trump.
But, they aren’t funny or interesting.
Most of it was oblique references to something and then a punchline that emphasised some weird morality, intellectual or spiritual superiority.
It was made uninteresting by Seth and the contrived laughter of the audience and those I was watching the show with.
You all know that sound when someone is laughing for then sake of laughing and it sounded more like they their laughter was a signal they were part of some group and that laughter , after the second or third one, actually sounds as bad as finger nails on a chalkboard and feels like pulling fingernails with pliers.
To be fair Jennifer Aniston was beautiful and funny, as was Dwayne Johnson.
But, that is where I stopped watching.
I cannot imagine any scenario in which I would watch five minutes of this bilge.
Why would any one watch this? What’s the point?
Only about 5% of the entire USA population watched this Golden Globes Awards failed, farce in total. And, that number might be lower if the TV viewer ratings include Canada and the rest of the world. Sad...to say the least.
On the other hand, Obama/Clinton/Oprah Winfrey, Media accused, “Insane & Unbalanced”, POTUS, Donald J. Trump, received cheers, ovations & salutes at the the Farm Bureau Convention in Tenneesee, and the massively attended Championship football game between Georgia & Alabama about 70,000-90,000 people. Go, POTUS, DJT...MAGA!!!
Methinks, the Democrats are going to lose both the Senate and House.....big time, come November. And...I can assure you all, Ms. Oprah Winfrey will not help the Democrats or herself.

The posted pictures also showed a rather unattractive lot, regardless of their garments. Hollywood does not do beautiful women like it used to.
Who hasn't heard of the casting couch since the 1920's?? People that go to hollyweird pretty much know how it works before they get there and I am pretty sure they are willing to play the system to become a big movie star..
The ones making the noise now are either the b-listers pissed off that they didn't make it or the a-listers that think now, they are above it all and we deserve to hear their pontifications.
Odd, her speech is being labeled by the corrupt media as the most inspiring speech ever given in the history of the world.
