The Golden Globes Were An Absolute Disgrace

The Golden Globe Awards have had 81 years to get it right, but they still can’t figure out how to pull off a successful show.

Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, they did. The show Sunday night was boring, sloppy and poorly executed in every way. After being rejected by several celebrities that refused to host the show, the Golden Globes landed on Jo Koy, who opted to berate the celebrity-studded audience instead of entertain them. The producers also seemed to think it would be fun to create a maze by crowding the stars into the room as if holding them hostage, with barely any space to walk. Award show season has officially kicked off with a fail.

The show drew in a slew of famous actors, producers, and directors, as the who’s-who of the entertainment industry gathered for an elegant evening. Yet for some reason, the famous faces were forced to pack tightly into the space.

It was painful to watch award-winners awkwardly push their way through the crowd, forcing other celebrities to get out of their chairs so they could navigate the space.

Stars were pushing past one another and banging into each other with every effortful step toward the stage; half of the time they didn’t even know if they were walking in the right direction.

The show lacked energy, was shoddily written and didn’t offer any entertainment value to fans tuning in from home. Viewers kept hoping for a funny moment or a memorable moment … but the show failed to deliver.

The stars themselves seemed annoyed about being there, which greatly affected the overall energy of the show.

Award show ratings have been dropping for years, which begs the question — why the hell are they still running these?

The space was full of some of the most talented people in the world, yet the Golden Globes were unable to leverage all of that talent to create an entertaining program.

Is this a show where a bunch of poorly educated, pedophiles, adulterers, liars, cheaters, whores, globalist, homosexual, drug addicted and alcoholic fakes, that think really highly of themselves and want to lecture the rest of the world about their values, bestow awards on each other?

Ask yourself this, how do you think some of those actresses in a Weinstein production really got that role?

There was an awards show on last night?

Got rid of CABLE and stopped watching TV quite some time ago. NO.. I do NOT miss it! Saving MUCHO MONEY annually doing so.

If you're still a CONSUMER-WATCHER ask yourself ONE simple question.. "Is there nothing BETTER to do with my time left on this earth?"

Two words..... Ricky Gervais. Hire him, and watch the ratings skyrocket. His last monologue at the Golden Globes was legendary.

Can’t wait for AI to do away with celebrities.

I am waiting for AI to bring back Rush Limbaugh. AI can animate his talking face - plenty of dittocam data. It can synthesize his voice. That's easy too. Again plenty of data. Lastly it can project his world view and analysis onto current events. That shouldn't be hard either since there's decades worth of data on his thought process. Someone just needs to train the models.

This is a hap-hazard guess, but here goes... "they either BLEW or SCREWED Weinstein"... Am I close? /s

Maybe AI could write a script for the show. Rather than the show being a boring awkward event it could be an interesting choreographed event.

And before AI is ready?

Look around Hollywood see if there are any writers willing to take a job... Then have writers work with all nominees so acceptance speeches help the show rather than making it an embarrassment. The theme can be the shows they were involved with.

Back in the Golden era of Hollywood, stars were under contract to the big studios. They could not speak publicly without a pass from the studios PR departments. For a reason..........

I don’t watch that kind of thing, but my wife had it on, and as I walked by and glanced at the television, I saw an extremely obese black woman walking to the podium for some kind of award.

When I said “Well, she looks like she has all the checkboxes checked off...” my wife didn’t respond to me.

Robert DeNiro drooling in the front row was entertaining.
