"The 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards"



For those of you that don't know, the 72nd annual Golden Globe Awards Show wrapped up last Sunday, January 11th at around 11:02 pm (Not too bad running 2 minutes over- If it were the Oscars it would have run ½ to an hour over). Now let's get on to the ceremony . It was hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for the 3rd consecutive year. They did a wonderful job, as always, but I think they were cleaner than in previous years (somebody get back Ricky Gervais) (I know, I know, his jokes are kind of risque). Tina and Amy did make some political jests, some of which were very funny (but try to stay out of politics at award shows). Enough said. If you have read my award season nomination blog you will know that I had predicted that “Birdman” and “The Theory of Everything” would sweep all the awards, but I was wrong! Now, granted Michael Keaton did win for best Actor for Comedy or Musicals and “Birdman” also won for best screenplay and the “Theory of Everything” won for Eddy Redmaynes performance. I could have sworn that best director would have gone to “Birdman,” but instead, it went to “The Grand Budapest Hotel” which also won for Best picture Musical or Comedy. Best picture Drama went to “Boyhood” and for best animated feature, I did predict the Lego movie but it did not win, instead, it went to “How to Train Your Dragon II.” Granted, I would have be surprised about this except that “Dragon II” was my runner up prediction. This is great news for DreamWorks Animation, after all this company is going 6 feet into bankruptcy. If “Dragon II” can win the Oscar, it will get DreamWorks Animation well out of bankruptcy (now I am writing this before the Oscar nominations are announced so if “Dragon II” mysteriously does not get nominated – don't hold it against me). Since I am on the subject of Oscars, I would like to give you an early prediction on what movies I think will be going to the Oscars. Granted, I think “Birdman” not winning best picture musical or comedy, will actually decrease its chances of winning the coveted Oscar and the same goes for “The Theory of Everything.”

As for “Boyhood” and The “Grand Budapest Hotel,” winning here at the Golden Globes actually increases their chances of winning an Oscar. Thanks for joining me for my review of The Golden Globe Awards, I will have more award season coverage all through the months of Jan and Feb. Join me next time for my opinion on the Oscar nominees and my review of the Critics Choice Movie Awards. There is still time to get a movie submitted for my end of the year poll.
