Golden Globes Winners

Another Golden Globes ceremony has come and gone.  Ricky Gervais was back, though significantly toned down.  I still think he did a better job than Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

The worst presenters of the night were definitely Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, who apparently decided to test the NBC censors during the live broadcast and were subsequently muted, making whatever they had to say lost to all the viewers at home.  Judging by the look on Jane Fonda's face, it wasn't funny anyway.

The best presenter was Tom Hanks who gave out a beautiful introduction to the night's Cecile B. DeMille Award winner, Denzel Washington.  It was touching and genuine.

Best awardee was probably Alejandro Inarritu.  Maybe it's because he's foreign, but he practically radiated joy and goodwill.

Worst awardee was Taraji P. Henson.  She came off as a total bitch, after screaming at no less than two people for stepping on the train of her gown and then demanding more time to give her acceptance speech.

Here are the actual winners:

BEST MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA  -- The Revenant

Although it is by no means a lock, odds are good that the frontrunners for Best Actor at the Oscars this year are Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio.  Stallone may get a nom for Creed.  Jennifer Lawrence and Brie Larsen are definitely getting nominated for Best Actress.  Best Director might get an upset from Danny Boyle, since Steve Jobs did better than I thought it would.  It's definitely going to get a nom for one of the screenplay categories.  The Martian will probably lock down Best Adapted Screenplay, though.

Those are my predictions at this stage.  The Oscar nominations drop on Thursday the 14th, so tune in back here to see if I'm on track.  As always, I have given myself from the day of the nominations until the evening of the ceremony to watch as many as I possibly can.
