Hugh Laurie absolutely roasted Donald Trump and the entire Republican party during his Golden Globes acceptance speech tonight.
The actor won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Series, Limited Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television for his work in The Night Manager, and he began his speech by saying Thank you first to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this amazing honor. I suppose its made more amazing by the fact that Ill be able to say I won this at the last ever Golden Globes
I dont mean to be gloomy, its just that it has the words Hollywood, Foreign and Press in the title.

Trump barely won?
Ha ha...so says the n00b who also believes Hillary is a moderate.
Are you sure you’re on the right forum? Charles Krauthammer and Michael Medved are looking for you, over at The Hill.
Keep it up Hollywood clowns - watch Trump’s support grow
Damn! I LOVED HOUSE!
Now I’m disappointed
Et tu, Hugh?
Electoral landslide, Trump had "304," Hillary Clinton had 227!!!
Yes, Donald Trump lost to Hillary Clinton in the popular vote.
President Elect Donald Trump did not run a campaign for the popular vote, he ran a campaign for the most Electoral Votes. Per the REQUIREMENT of the U.S. Constitution.
Maybe this will help, make believe World Series of baseball. Team "A," {Trump} in games 1 (one) through 4 (four) scores 1 home run(s) in each game.
Team "B," {Clinton} in games 1 (one) through 3 (three) has zero home runs, but in game 4 (four) scores 25 home runs. Who won the world series?
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is simply majoritarianism. It is incompatible with real freedom.
Why is a democracy potentially just as dangerous as a monarchy? Lets look at something that Benjamin Franklin said because it answers that question more fully and succinctly than I can.
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -Benjamin Franklin.
Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Benjamin Franklin.
At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results and as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the long task now finished asked him directly, `Well, Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?' `A republic, if you can keep it,' responded Franklin.

A Republic, where the people, through equal representation control their government. Laws are made by equal representation. People control government. Rights are inherent possessions of men and government is established to protect those inherent Rights. A Republic is the only way to ensure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.
A Democracy, as modern application demands, is mob rule. Where those in the majority make all the laws. Where those in the majority establish the rights and the privileges of those in the minority. In a Democracy, the minority groups only have what they have as long as the majority allows them to have it. A Democracy does not secure Liberty. A Democracy only ensures there will always be masters, and always be slaves. In a Democracy, Rosa Parks is still banished to the back of the bus.
We are not a Democracy. We are a Republic. But if you repeat a lie long enough, people will begin to believe that lie to be true. If Americans knew the difference, the minority groups would be the especially angry at the intentional effort to brainwash the people into believing the Democracy lie; because they will be condemned to an unrecoverable slavery.
THIS is a clear reminder of why Trump can not fix what is wrong in America. This is why we cannot relax and why we must keep pushing
LIBERTY FIRST!

The celebs will be disappointed to hear when they do their whiny anti-Trump videos or speeches, I have NO idea who most of them are.
I did used to watch House, but had no idea Hugh was even in a different show now. yawn...
This tells me that the demands of the job of acting has a mental effect on one’s ability to reason. All that memorizing of script and the endless repeating of a scene until the director get it right can cause something resembling Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After months of retakes and faking every emotion under the sun, it takes a toll on their sanity. Their mental health is stressed even more when they become alcoholics, take illegal drugs and get mood enhancers from their doctors for hire. After years of acting, they are ready for the loony tunes.
i only remember Streep in the “DEER HUNTER”....which is probably the silliest, overacted,overrated movie ever made....
The hairless foreigner... vs Bigfoot Meryal
and this is news?
I didn’t watch “The Golden Globes” since “Sherlock” was on PBS instead. But in looking at the results this morning I was shocked to see that Casey Affleck won Best Actor for “Manchester By The Sea” over Denzel Washington in “Fences”. Affleck’s performance couldn’t hold a candle to Washington’s.
I have a gut feeling Trump has some sort of plan to shut the mouths of Hollywood left.
Liked him on Black Adder.
Don’t care for him anymore.
Reply of the day.
Any reference to ‘House’ is lost on me. Never watched it.
You’ve seen one TV drama. You’ve seen them all.
[Why give these morons air time on FR?]
I had the same question. At least add (RAGING LIBERAL ALERT) to the headline.
Meryl Streep got one thing right, for the wrong reasons.
If you watch 2004’s “The Manchurian Candidate” she IS playing Hillary Clinton, for all intents and purposes. Has the hair, has the attitude, has the scheming, etc.
It was meant to be a Dem hit piece of Bush (Al Franken at the beginning) but in reality, it actually foreshadowed the real Manchurian Candidate Obama.
His lies interwoven with superficially-innocuous platitudes continue to this very day.
