The Golden Globes, still “just a TV show,” the Oscars still “an event”?
Sure. But a better show, from Tina and Amy, stars mingling and drinking, loosie acceptance speeches (some of them).
The clothes, the live tweeting (Ronan Farrow ripping into Woody “child molester” Allen winning the Cecile B. DeMille Award, the winners.
Cate Blanchett, Matthew M., Alfonso Cuaron, Spike Jonze. “12 Years a Slave,” Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams, Leonardo DiCaprio, “American Hustle…”
The Oscars will be different in a few regards, and the smaller field of acting nominees will work against Leo and a few others. At least Leo has a trophy.Finally.
Will Redford take his place in the best actor field? We’ll see soon enough.
Here’s the complete list. TV? Meh. They always go for the “new” or the “hot,” this year that was “Breaking Bad,” celebrated as it exited the stage, Amy Poehler and Andy Samberg took honors.
