Meet the Haters Tina Fey Told Off
Those anonymous internet critics Tina Fey told to "suck it" in her Golden Globe acceptance speech tonight are actual posters on the LA Times' Envelope awards site. And mean!
Some points of clarification, though. Two of the three commenters Fey called out in her speech (video above) are the same person — "dianefan" used to be "cougar-letter." And the third, "BabsonLacrosse," totally got caught in the crossfire.
Dianefan has been kind of a d-bag, as Fey would put it. Since at least September, when she was slamming the choice of Fey to play Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live:
I think there are lots of choices other than Tina... Megan Mullally, Sarah Silverman, Teri Hatcher, Shannon Doherty... Not everyone has to think that Tina Fey is the be all and end all... I simply think all of those actresses have some spunk in them that could work.
Dianefan was more vicious Oct. 23 2008, as cougar-letter (see quotes in later posts), on the idea of Fey hosting the Oscars:
Tina Fey would be a dreadful host. puke.gif That Sarah Palin bit is getting very old.
Gotta love the animated puking graphic! Dianefan has been big on those.
Nov. 20 2008, in the official 30 Rock Season 3 thread:
Tina Fey was simply like the pimple on my face - just theresleepy.gif .... I think that the key issue here is the fact that when Tina is at her best, she's just not that great.
Dec. 14 2008, after the Golden Globe nominations were announced:
I just hope they give the win to anyone but Tina Fey. Boy I can't wait until Edie Falco comes back on the scene just to wipe that smug look off Tina's face.
Dec. 16, after Fey failed to garner a nod from the vaunted "Golden Satellite Awards:"
These wins are sooooo inspiring. I'm so stoked that Tina Fey didn't win.049.gif
Jan. 10, day before the awards:
This Tina Fey love fest is a bloody joke at this point. I am rooting for anyone else in that category.
Well, that didn't work.
But at least she got a shout-out! Maybe that will make Dianefan a bit less of b? Hahahaha no. From tonight:
I'm famous. She mentioned BabsonLacrosse too. Sorry Tina Fey but I still don't think you deserved to win.
BabsonLacrosse (now "KateWinsGG") has not posted much on Fey. She seems to kind of adore her, though:
Dec. 14 , in reaction to the Golden Globe nominations:
Tina Fey and Christina Applegate are the 2 best comedic actresses on TV right now. To suggest they got in due to the Palin impersonation or breast cancer is absurd.
What got Fey was probably this slightly bitchy comment, in agreement with the dreaded dianefan, Jan. 10:
Fey if she wins might as well start thanking Sarah Palin because while I like Fey on 30 Rock, she's certainly won enough for it as of now.
And now, BabsonLacrosse, YA BURNT.
In the most flattering way, of course. It's a long way up from anonymous Web board haunt to televised-awards-speech diss fodder. And that may have been the idea. In addition to being clever and funny, Fey's faux-rant had the effect of bringing Fey and her show down to Earth, closer to its intended audience. Jack Donaghy would never endorse such a move, but then Jack Donaghy and his real-life ilk have never seen first-hand the free publicity that comes from being a YouTube darling. Fey has.
I was shocked when they showed the clips of Fey doing her impersonation of Sarah... I thought they took SNl off the air years ago. I dont know anyone who watches it.
To the left everything is political... and every outlet and platform is only a vehicle to further their leftist agenda.
You described many performers/entertainers in a nutshell. Friends of mine in performing arts who were the most ambitious were also the most insecure.
Not saying that this holds 100%, but it seems the insecurity drove them to perform in front of a crowd to receive affirmation.
What I can do without is the -- too often -- dripping condescension.
Yes, but they put their attitudes right out in public.
Oh. You say so does Tina Fey?
Touche. Tina then wins the Haters award.
God ain’t she wonderful? Tina Fey for President - 2012!
She talked about writing the “Colonel Angus” skit and how she tried to explain it to her family. I loved it but know that if it wasn’t for Christopher Walken the bit would have probably fallen flat.
“They said mean things about you, little sis? Do tell.”
I haven’t watched the show since John Belushi left.
Third Rock from the Sun was way better than Thirty Rock.
NBC has been struggling with it’s comedies since Frasier ended...
“The Office” is, imho, worthless. All you see is a bunch of people at work and all this angst.
I still chuckle at “Earl”. Randy, his brother... gotta luv him!
I’ve always viewed the Golden Globe awards as the consolation prizes.
The Golden Globes come before the Oscars and the people nominated who get Golden Globes are, in many cases, expected to also get the corresponding award at the Oscars. If a Golden Globe winner doesn’t get an Oscar, then that person should still be happy with the consolation award. Methinks that the Golden Globes were set up as consolation prizes for the Oscar losers. If the winner of the Oscar also won the Golden Globe, it’s pretty obvious that the winner will most likely be talking about the Oscar and not the Golden Globe.
