Emmys 2016

 

Opening Skit highlight: James Corden and Emmy host Jimmy Kimmel reenacting Wham!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” video!

Best Supporting Actor, Comedy: Louie Anderson for FX’s “Baskets.” Never heard of it? No surprise. I heard of it and chose not to watch it. Weird-looking show starring Zach Galifinakis.

Best Supporting Actress, Comedy: Kate McKinnon for SNL. She’s pretty funny and all, but I wanted someone from a regular scripted show to win. Though none of the nominees in this category really thrilled me, so whatevs.

Best Writing, Comedy: Master of None (Netflix), starring Aziz Ansari. I haven’t watched it yet, but I intend to. Always loved Aziz on “Parks & Recreation.” Aziz’s co-writer, a lesser known Asian-American man recommended Asian parents give a few of their kids cameras instead of violins so they can have more representation in Hollywood. LOL. Hey, he can say that.

Best Directing, Comedy: Transparent (Amazon), starring Jeffrey Tambor as a transgender (I think that’s the right term?). Still haven’t watched it, but I’ve read lots of good things, and it’s become quite the awards darling. But I really wanted “Veep” to win. I want “Veep” to win everything!!!

Best Actress, Comedy: Julia Louis-Dreyfus (HBO) for “Veep.” YESSSSSS! She keeps winning this category, and she deserves every single award. She is incredible on this equally incredible show. It’s so damn funny, and so is she. Awww—she just thanked her dad, who apparently died Friday! Can’t believe she’s there. Wow.

Tribute to Garry Shandling. Just letting you GS fans know in case you want to look it up online.

Best Actor, Comedy: Jeffrey Tambor, “Transparent” (Amazon). I need to watch this show.

Best Reality Competition: “The Voice.” A network show finally won!

And I guess food at awards shows is officially a thing. Ellen with her pizza, Chris Rock with his Girl Scout cookies and now Jimmy with his homemade pb&j sandwiches. They’re seriously handing them out to everyone. He mentioned that no one better have a peanut allergy though because they could only afford one epi-pen. Ba dump bump.

Kerry Washington is soooo pregnant. She must be due very, very soon.

Best Writing, Limited Series/Movie: “The People Vs. OJ” (FX). This category was basically several eps of “OJ” competing against several eps of “Fargo.” I personally enjoyed the “OJ” series. I watched all 10 eps in like 2 days this summer. I just wanted to keep going.

Best Supporting Actress, Limited Series: Regina—cool name—King “American Crime” (ABC). A very uncomfortable but well-done show.

Best Direction, Limited Series: Lot of “OJ” nominees here, but “The Night Manager” (AMC) takes it. It starred Hugh Laurie (“House”) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki from “Avengers”) and was based on the John Le Carre novel. It looked pretty moody and atmospheric, but I wasn’t interested enough to watch it.

Best Supporting Actor, Limited Series: More OJ, Night Manager, and Fargo, and the award goes to Sterling K. Brown, who played Chris Darden in “OJ.” Lots of love for him in the room. Even he said, “You guys may not have known my name, but you checked the box anyway and thank you.”

Best Actress, Limited Series: Sarah Paulson as Marcia Clark in “OJ.” She brought the real Marcia Clark with her to the ceremony too. No surprise she thanked Ryan Murphy for changing her life (with “American Horror Story” and now “OJ”), but I had to google “why did sarah paulson thank holland taylor” to find out that they’re dating! Holland is 73, and Sarah is 41. That is a monster age difference! I’m shocked by huge age differences be they straight or gay. (By the way, did you hear Mel Gibson’s 26-year-old gf is preggers???)

Best Movie: “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride” (BBC). Now they decide to separate movie from limited series???

Best Limited Series: “OJ” wins again. So glad I watched this series. It really was gripping. How diversified is Ryan Murphy? “Glee,” “American Horror Story,” and “OJ.” That’s three very different genres.

Matt Damon showed up to harass and humiliate Jimmy Kimmel on stage after Jimmy’s Emmy loss. I do enjoy their ongoing (fake) feud. Fave part: Matt says, “Hey, Jimmy, tell your mom I like them apples.” (I adore “Good Will Hunting.”)

Writing, Drama: “Game of Thrones.” One of the winners thanked actress Amanda Peet. Had to look into that. Turns out Amanda Peet is married to the GoT co-creator and showrunner. Sadly for her, that’s a bigger claim to fame than anything she’s done career-wise. Sorry, Amanda.

Directing, Drama: It’s beginning to look a lot like a “Game of Thrones” kind of night, as it wins again.

I am about sick of them trying to play everyone off the stage with that damn music. It’s so rude! I don’t care who’s up there, how unknown they are, or how insignificant they may seem—it’s their f-in’ moment. Let them have it! It feels like they start playing after like 30 seconds. Give it a minute. At least. Literally, a minute.

Supporting Actress, Drama: Maggie Smith, “Downton Abbey.” Pretty funny because Jimmy Kimmel joked that if someone didn’t show up to accept their award, it would go to the next person on the list. He specifically called out Maggie, whose won 3 times and has not shown up to accept any of her Emmys. Jimmy took her award and announced that it will be in the lost and found when she’s ready. LOL.

Supporting Actor, Drama: Ben Mendehlson, “Bloodline” (Netflix). Love this show and love him in it. You should all check it out.

Oh no—the In Memoriam segment. Up and comer Tori Kelly is singing an acoustic version of “Hallelujah,” an appropriately sad song. It’s always surprising how many famous people I forgot died in the past year. The penultimate image was probably the most recent death: Gene Wilder. The final image was the one that matters most to me, and the one that made me cry: Prince, in a beautiful shot of him taking a bow after his SuperBowl halftime performance. Sigh. #stillsad

Actor, Drama: Rami Malek, “Mr. Robot” (FX). That’s pretty shocking, very underdog. I really enjoyed the first season of this show, but they lost me on season 2. Rami is the best part of the show though. I stayed longer than I really wanted to just for him.

Actress, Drama: YEEEESSSSS! Tatiana Maslany, “Orphan Black” (BBC America). I just screamed aloud in excitement. This woman is amazing! She plays about 8 different characters, all clones, and you easily forget it’s one actress playing all of the parts. This is so deserved.

Very trendy picks for Drama Actor and Actress. Good for you, Emmys.

Comedy Series: YEEEESSSSS! “Veep.” I love this show! It’s so damn funny. It’s so well-written, and the comic delivery is impeccable. It’s a little crass and offensive, but that’s what makes it so funny. I wish they made more than 10 eps a year because I can’t get enough of it. And I think it’s still getting better.

For some reason, they trotted out Jimmy Smits and Dennis Franz to present the final award of the night…

Drama Series: “Game of Thrones.” Still trendy, 6 years into its run. Still event tv. I’m a fan but not a superfan.

So HBO ended up taking Best Comedy and Best Drama. They don’t have as many great shows as they used to, but I guess ya only need a few gems to make your mark. And they finished on time (thanks to the rude playing off of winners).

MTV VMAs 2016

I was largely underwhelmed by this show. I fast forwarded a lot. No offense to any Bey/RiRi/Britney fans intended. Here are my thoughts: 

Rihanna’s dance party medley: singing over the track, but not very loudly and not very often. Not much of singer, not much of a dancer. She just does not impress me live—unless she’s doing slower songs (“Stay,” “Diamonds,” “Love on the Brain”). The dance songs are good too, but I don’t need to see her perform them.

Ariana Grande with Nicki Minaj: still rocking a high pony(tail) but now with bangs. She’s singing while leading a spin class—no seriously, she’s riding a stationary bike. Exceptional vocal range aside (and she’s singing live!), I still can only understand about 40% of what she’s saying. Why are her vocals so indecipherable?

Did MTV sanction Kanye’s rambling speech?! (eye roll)

Rihanna midtempo medley: the singing is better. The dancing, not so much. And there’s still a lot of track playing for the chorus, which she’s not even singing over.

Beyonce: I’m a fan though I don’t always understand her, especially the visual stuff. I didn’t buy “Lemonade” because I didn’t really care for “Formation” (sorry hardcore Beygency members.) Now I don’t know this song she’s singing. Costume change to a black leotard. She must really hate performing in pants. She is showing and shaking a lot of a** tonight. Remember when she used to wear leotards that modestly covered the majority of her ample rear? A more innocent time. How long is this performance?! 16 minutes confirmed. Wow. Wind machine and hairography in full effect.

Kim Kardashian is so thin (not from behind, I imagine, but everywhere else). She lost all that baby weight and then some.

Britney is back. I kinda like this song, but that’s because it doesn’t sound like recent Brit at all. It does, however, sound very much like current radio hits. But why does she even bother holding a mic? Does she actually think she’s fooling anybody? Maybe she’s singing over a track, but you can’t hear her at all if that’s the case.

The US girls’ gymnastics team (minus Gabby) presented an award to Beyonce, who is an Amazon next to them.

Rihanna again: more RiRi than I can handle.

Beyonce wins Video of the Year. She beat Kanye. Luckily there’s no one he’d rather lose to. LOL.

Rihanna AGAIN: singing “Stay.” I approve! Finally. Singing for real this time without a track. Not as good as when she performed it at the Grammys a few years back, but girl is just better standing still and singing slow. Shouldn’t have reached for a few of those high notes though. Ouch. Fittingly, they saved my 3 RiRi songs until the finale (“Stay,” “Diamonds,” and “Love on the Brain,” as mentioned in my very first comment). It’s like I’m psychic. Good choice, MTV.

Oscars 2016

Mark Rylance, Brie Larson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Alicia Vikander

It’s kinda funny that this whole OscarsSoWhite thing happened after they’d already hired Chris Rock to host. Chris is never afraid to shy away from awkward, uncomfortable, race jokes and truths, and now he has a world of material with which to work. Chris is my favorite comedian, so this should be good. Post-opening monologue update: it was good. He did what he does, in his inimitable style.

So many changes to this year’s broadcast. When the presenters come out, there’s a little factoid-caption next to them on the screen. And when the winners go up, their pre-submitted thank you list appears on a crawl across the bottom of the screen. The crawl is rather distracting.

More changes: the writing awards are up first. Some people discount the screenplay awards as insignificant. Well I beg to differ. There wouldn’t be any movies without the screenwriters. They create the story, write the dialogue and define the characters. Personally I’m very much invested in the screenplay winners.

Best Original Screenplay goes to Spotlight. Well-deserved.

Best Adapted Screenplay goes to The Big Short. Definitely a well-written film.

Methinks the white folks in attendance didn’t understand the bit with Stacey Dash. Allow me to enlighten you: Stacey Dash, best known as Alicia Silverstone’s bff in Clueless. Well, Stacey is now a politically conservative Fox News correspondent. The black community was rankled by her recent comments that there shouldn’t be a Black History Month or a BET Awards or anything specifically celebrating a minority group. She’s basically been disowned by Blacks, so the intended joke (didn't work out) was that she would never be a minority outreach liaison. 

Pottymouth (not a judgment, just a fact) comedienne Sarah Silverman looks classy, but I don't like what her dress is doing for her "heavy Jewish boobs" (her words, not mine). 

Sarah Silverman

Sam Smith sings the nominated theme song from Spectre. I do not care for this song, but then I didn’t care for Adele’s Bond song either. But of course I don’t care for Adele anyway. (Scoff.) He sounded a little off tonight as well. I still can’t get over how thin Sam is now. As my friend Bridget noted, he’s morphing into Jude Law (which means we also know what Jude will look like if/when he puts on a few pounds). 

Sam Smith (aka the new Jude Law?)

Damn Henry Cavill (most recent Superman) really made that intro for best picture nominee The Martian sound profound. What a classy accent. And chiseled jam. And excellent posture. Shwing!

Henry Cavill (with Kerry Washington)

Best Supporting Actress. I’m pulling for Alicia Vikander. I absolutely loved her in The Danish Girl. Never heard of her before that, but I’m all about her ever since. And…she wins! Yes, I cheered and clapped though I'm home alone. She deserved that. She’s gonna beat the supporting actress curse. For starters, she’s in the new Jason Bourne film, which should really raise her profile. Oh, and did I mention she's the new face of Louis Vuitton? Most if not all of her dresses throughout awards season have been Louis (this yellow frock being no exception.)

Alicia Vikander

 Charlize Theron—always breathtaking.

Charlize Theron

Best Costume goes to Mad Max: Fury Road. I’ve got your fury right here! Carol (1950s US) or The Danish Girl (20s Netherlands) should have won! What do the Mad Max costumes consist of? I’ll tell you what—grungy tees, cargo pants, and some leather accessories. Who cares?!

Mad Max: Fury Road "fabulous" costumes

Best Production Design also goes to Mad Max. I really should have seen this movie…

Best Makeup goes to…Mad Max. (I know, I’m getting bored too.) At least I understand this victory. Best moment: presenter Jared Leto mentioned merkins live on the Oscar stage. If you don’t know what a merkin is, you are in for a dirty, little treat! Funny word with an even funnier function. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkin.

Best Cinematography goes to The Revenant. Apparently the same guy won last year for Birdman, which shared the same director as well. At least I liked Revenant better than Birdman. And at least the Mad Max juggernaut was briefly interrupted.

Best Film Editing goes to…Mad Max. And it’s back. Can't believe I didn't go see this stinkin' movie last summer. I certainly considered it but wasn't sure it would be my cup of tea. Apparently it's Oscar's cup of tea. Several cups, in fact.

Cute bit honoring Jack “Black” for “Black” History Month. Get it?! Angela Bassett, featured in the bit, is truly ageless. She looks gorgeous. And the muscle tone in her arms and pecs is still insane, 20+ years after she got super-fit for the Tina Turner biopic, What’s Love Got to Do with It?

Best Sound Editing goes to Carol. Just kidding—it’s frakkin’ Mad Max again.

Best Sound Mixing goes to Mad Max. We get it—it’s a technical marvel. (Eye roll)

The guy who played Jackie Robinson & James Brown in recent biopics is a cutie. Just an observation. (So is Captain America Chris Evans, but you knew that already.) 

Chadwick Boseman and Chris Evans

Best Visual Effects: Ex Machina. Not kidding this time! Someone took a tech award from Mad Max! Poor Star Wars is getting shut out of these tech awards altogether. That’s the real tragedy here. But then again it made as much money as 10 Mad Maxes, so whatevs.

C3PO, R2-D2 and that new orange droid (didn’t bother to learn his name) from the new Star Wars are on stage presenting. Cute little Jacob Tremblay (from Room) is angling for a good view from his seat. I wonder if he’s the only kid at the award ceremony. Must be lonely.

Ellen Degeneres (my 2^nd fave comedian btw) brought pizza for the audience when she hosted; Chris Rock brought girl scout cookies to sell on his daughters’ behalf. Do millionaire actors carry cash to the Oscars? Do they carry cash at all? Because regular middle class folks do not. I mean, I do, but almost none of my friends do.

They awarded animated films and documentaries, but I don’t pay much attention to those. Sorry. But Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) presented documentary and he’s sporting longer hair. I don’t like it. Keep it clean-cut, Dev. 

Dev Patel

Jacob Tremblay isn’t the only kid in attendance. The kid from Beasts of No Nation is there too, and they’re presenting Best Short together. Both cute. Both possibly traumatized by their inaugural movie roles (child born in captivity and child-turned-killer-soldier).

Best Supporting Actor is Mark Rylance for Bridge of Spies (Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg). Who? Exactly. This was a sneak attack, the one surprise in the acting categories. Not sure who was favored, but it definitely wasn't this guy (maybe sentimental fave Sly Stallone?). He was nominated for all the awards, but he hasn't won any. Guess he was saving it up for the big one--the little gold guy. Anyhow, he's a very respected stage actor (has 3 Tony awards), and now he's halfway toward an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), as is Sam Smith, btw.

Lady Gaga brings the house down with yet another stunning live vocal. In case you were wondering what all the hubbub was about, her song “Until It Happens to You” is about rape. I think it’s more specifically about date rape and college party rape, both of which are less reported than random attacks by total strangers in public. And apparently those were real-life survivors on stage with her.

Best Music Score goes to The Hateful Eight. Apparently this fella has been at it for a long time and is very respected in the business. Hence the standing ovation.

Best Original Song goes to the Sam Smith song for Spectre. I swear every Bond song wins, regardless of whether it’s a good song or not. Ugh.

Um, that clip from best picture nominee Brooklyn had a major spoiler in it. That’s just wrong.

Best Director: Alejandro Inarritu for Revenant. This man seriously just won back-to-back directing Oscars! I find him annoying (I really didn’t like Birdman, last year’s win). And yet I think it’s horribly rude that they are trying to play him off the stage. He won Best Director two consecutive years. I think he’s earned the right to say his piece.

Best Actress: Brie Larson for Room. No surprise here. She’s won everything during awards season. In case you're wondering who this chick is and where she came from, her previous claim to fame (not really) was playing Amy Schumer's more sensible sister in Trainwreck.

Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio for Revenant. No surprise here either. “It’s his turn,” they said. And so it was. I wouldn’t have minded seeing Eddie Redmayne win again this year, but oh well. I’m happy Leo finally has an Oscar. It’s his fifth (acting) nomination. Look at all the love for Leo in the room. And near the end of his speech, they finally cut to Kate Winslet, bawling for her cinematic boo. Nice speech about global warming and climate change, Leo. Interesting…they didn’t play him off. I guess he rates more important than his director.

Best Picture: SPOTLIGHT! I was afraid Revenant would take it, or freakin’ Mad Max would rise again but the right film won. Not sure it was my favorite movie of the year, but it was unquestionably my favorite of the nominated films. 

And there you have it. Hollywood awards season comes to a close. Until we meet again...

Golden Globes 2016

Either Jane Fonda really hated Jonah Hill’s “bear from The Revenant” bit (it kinda sucked) or she has a serious case of RBF (resting bitch face). Or that ruffle monstrosity around her neck and shoulders was about to swallow her whole. Anything’s possible.

Not loving my girl-crush J.Lo in yellow. I think she could use a different color. But Fashion Police says she was best dressed, so what do I know?

Brad Pitt is looking good. Short hair, clean-shaven. Me likey. Seriously it’s the best I’ve seen him in a long time. He’s looking downright boyishly handsome. Swoon.

Rachel Bloom of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend wins best actress in a tv comedy. You’ve probably never watched it, but I actually really like it. It’s quirky fun, but Rachel Bloom is not fully Hollywood-ready. Sorry, Rache, but you need better hair and makeup. The dress was pretty good (though an A-line probably would’ve been better since she’s also not quite Hollywood-skinny).

The Amazon sitcom Mozart in the Jungle, which I just heard of for the first time like two weeks ago, wins best sitcom. There are some weird choices tonight.

The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been trotted out to speak. I still don’t understand who HFPA is…

Oh, look is Mrs. Johnny Depp, Amber Heard. I’m finally starting to recognize her. I find her to be rather nondescript, like Connie Nielson (Gladiator) and Sienna Miller (American Sniper) before her.

Oscar Isaac (super pilot Poe in the new Star Wars) just won for some tv movie/miniseries. I like him. He’s cute. That’s all.

OMG I completely forgot about Harrison Ford and Callista Flockhart being a couple! But there they are, still together, Han Solo and Ally McBeal.

Why is Tom Ford presenting? He’s a designer.

Christian Slater just won an award. Thanks to Mr. Robot, he is no longer a tv curse. P.S. his wife is lovely (and looks very young).

Jamie Foxx just announced his daughter as Miss Golden Globe tonight. I remember when she made the awards circuit with him when he won for Ray twelve years ago. I thought it was so sweet that he brought his cute little 10-year-old to the Oscars. And now she’s all grown up and beautiful.

Eva Longoria and America Ferrera just did a very funny bit about how several Latina actresses have recently been randomly and unfortunately interchanged. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g32j52NRqd0

I want to like Amy Schumer more than I do. Like she’s okay and all, but I’m just not that into her. I'm not that into her bestie-lovefest with J.Law either.

Ooh, now here’s an Amy I do like: Amy Adams. Where has she been since American Hustle? I’ve missed her.

Matt Damon wins best actor in a comedy for The Martian. He is such a charmer. I love you, Will Hunting. He’ll always be Will Hunting to me.

Kate Hudson is presenting with her common-law stepdad Kurt Russell. Awww.

Seeing last year’s supporting Oscar winners Patricia Arquette and JK Simmons on stage reminds me that I still haven’t seen the movies for which they won (Boyhood and Whiplash, respectively). Damn.

My 80s/90s movie crush Sly Stallone just won supporting actor for Creed, and what a wonderful moment. He is so genuinely touched, and he received the most heartfelt standing ovation. Everyone seems sincerely happy for him. (Not so sweet sidenote: Sly is a little too tan.)

Okay, there are way too many nominated movies that I haven’t seen.  Steve Jobs, The Room, The Big Short. I’m stressing! Some of them aren’t even in theaters anymore!

Mozart in the Jungle wins again, this time for start Gael Garcia Bernal (tv comedy actor). I don’t wanna watch this show. Do I need to watch this show??? Last year, Transparent won best comedy and actor, this year Mozart. Why is HFPA sweating Amazon original programming? They just love shiny, new things.

Helen Mirren’s hourglass figure is a marvel. Her sleek blond bob is fabulous too.

Ricky Gervais: “When Brad and Angelina see the next two little adorable presenters, they’re gonna want to adopt them. Kevin Hart and Ken Jeong.” Ha, ha, ha. (It’s funny because they’re so short. And of course because they’re not white.)

I don’t know what kind of heels Gaga is wearing to accept her award, but she towers over Kevin and Ken. (IMDB says she’s 5’1”—how short are Kevin and Ken OR how tall are her shoes?!) Another shiny, new thing for HFPA.

Katy Perry is becoming unrecognizable. She changes her hair, and I have trouble recognizing her.

Wow, Sam Smith (who just won for the Spectre theme song) really did slim down.

Okay, Ricky just said something to Mel Gibson on-camera that had to be fully bleeped. I’m talking like a full sentence. I sure hope they have the direct quote online tomorrow. Can’t wait!

Sam Esmail, creator of Mr. Robot (best drama winner) is engaged to Emmy Rossum (Day After Tomorrow, Shameless). Interesting. 

Denzel receives the Lifetime Achievement Award. Great, revered actor. How is his hairline still that good at 61? Inquiring minds want to know. And get this—he’s been with his wife Pauletta for almost 40 years, married for 34 years. In Hollywood. That’s incredible. His speech leaves something to be desired. He forgot it or can't read it without his glasses or something. The result is underwhelming. Does Denzel have to be saying someone else's words in order to be interesting?

Ick, Chris Evans (Captain America) is sporting a beard again. Why would you cover up that jawline with a beard? The hair and the tux are flawless though.

Alejandro G. Innaritu directed Leo D’s new film The Revenant? Well that’s a strike for  me because he also directed Birdman, and I was distinctly not a fan of Birdman.

Kate Bosworth is presenting. She is so shiny (her face, her arms, her décolletage) and skinny.

Taraji P. Henson is a mess but in a fun way. In honor of her win as Cookie Lyons on “Empire,” she actually passed out cookies on her way up to the stage to accept. Classic.

Okay this is where the Globes’ credibility get shaky: the comedy/musical film category. The Oscars doesn’t do that. Tonight in the best actress – comedy category, Jennifer Lawrence wins for Joy (which was a decent but not great movie and only semi-funny), and Amy Schumer was also nominated for Trainwreck (funny movie, but was Amy a good actress in it???).

Jim Carrey (presenting best comedy/musical) is rocking a very full beard. I hope that’s for a role. He’s still funny though. (For the record, The Martian wins, and while it had some very funny moments, I’d hardly classify it as a comedy.)

Why is Katy Perry at the table front and center? She’s at the same table as Denzel and Jamie Foxx. Huh? Random pop star, not nominated for anything, seated with the Lifetime Achievement honoree and the father of the Miss Golden Globes. Hmm.

Oh crap, Brie Larson (Amy Schumer’s sister in Trainwreck) wins best actress – drama for Room. That movie definitely isn’t playing anywhere in my vicinity. Dammit. She’s nominated for SAG too.

Leo wins best actor – drama for The Revenant and gets a standing O…though I’m unclear as to why. Denzel got the O for his body of work over many decades. Sly got his because he’s never won an acting award in his life. But Leo has won Globes before—a couple years ago for Wolf of Wall Street most recently—so what’s the big deal? Is the industry deeply in love with this movie? HFPA clearly is.

The Revenant also wins best picture – drama. HFPA gives no love to Spotlight even though it’s won most of the critics’ awards. The Globes just confuse matters with their highly subjective choices.

One of the funniest moments for me was when Ricky introduced (and gave a backhanded apology to) Mel Gibson. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhGGCCmbwvc

And Ricky Gervais’ closing words: “From myself and Mel Gibson, Shalom.” LMAO!
