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.

Should have used Rickey Gervais! Even I would have watched it.

He won a globe in the new stand up comedian category. He didn't show up. https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/ricky-gervais-embarrassing-golden-globes-win-trended-for-wrong-reasons

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

I can’t even look at Jennifer Lawrence without seeing Weinstein. I used to think the female (and probably male) actors had to sleep with producers/directors to get parts. I now believe, based on the Weinstein case, they have to sleep with them to even be considered for a part.

Before presenting an award for whatever, Jim Gaffigan essentially called everyone in the room a pedophile. He actually got applause, and I wasn’t sure what to make of that.

Every year the ratings are smaller and smaller.

You would think that the networks would eventually tell them to go pound sand.

I would rather watch reruns of Gilligan’s Island than any ‘awards show’.................

That one in particular is a waste of airtime.

Outside of NYC Metro area, nobody cares about Broadway..........

“I see nothing wrong with the host berating the jackasses assembled there to praise themselves and their debauchery. Might need to watch his opening and will be hoping it’s like Ricky Gervais when he called them out for being self-aggrandizing pedophiles.”

The host berated the only decent director in Hollywood and his masterpiece film calling it too long

Berated all white Americans stating he adored killers of the flower moon which was 3 hours stating that from it he LEARNED that whit people stole everything

Then reiterating he said, “you guys stole everything “

I have never seen such disgusting anti white racism on stage never saw such a disgusting person and his insults fell flat

He was not even channeling Ricky gervais. Tho thought he was

So watch the show before commenting

I quoted what he said. Word for word

I never watched Seinfeld when it was on TV. I was too busy raising my family and other silly stuff.

I rarely watch the reruns that are on cable....................

Proud to say I haven’t watched anything out of Hollywood in 25 years. Got coerced into going to see Top Gun six months ago. Walked out after about 20 minutes.
