 What's up nerds? I'm Ben and today I'm here to talk to you about the Golden Globes which went down today It's the first big award show off the rank. Did anyone embarrass themselves or the big surprises that went down? Stay tuned to find out So if this is your first time here at Movie Nerds, don't forget to hit that subscribe button and the bell notification What the hell does the bell notification do? I don't know. Why isn't just one thing that does everything? Why? Why? Why make it hard? Anyway, the Golden Globes, right? So Every year I kind of sit down and I'm like, I'm gonna say some good stuff here You know why? Because the celebs at the Golden Globes Plied with alcohol and I feel like that's always a recipe for disaster and that's what I want to watch I want to disaster This year the thing that's being talked about the most actually happened before the awards on the red carpet there's this random random woman that was serving drinks to people water and She managed to photobomb a lot of people along the way So first and foremost right off the bat. That's probably the thing people are talking about most So do make sure you check all those photos out in detail because some of them are quite hilarious Jamie Lee Curtis is probably my favorite of the bunch But the actual awards, I think this year is a bit of a mixed bag really Probably the thing I was looking forward to the most was seeing how the two hosts Annie Sandberg and Sandra Oh would go and I'm actually a bit disappointed with their performance. They they played it safe I think in the current climate It's not cool to be scathing and mean to people So I think they pulled that stuff back a bit. This is not the Ricky Gervais show that we're used to It was they're trying to be kind. It wasn't a skating was a bit more It was a bit nicer There was a couple of clever jokes here and there more from Sandra Oh rather than than Sandberg, but overall I thought they played it quite safe I actually think two of the presenters on the night Amy Polo and my Rudolph did a great job And they're probably a better pick for the Oscars than what these two would ever be Unless Kevin Hart decides to Let everyone convince him you should do it after all which I don't think is going to happen Let's start with the shock wins on the night So I would honestly say I wasn't expecting Bohemian Rhapsody to take out best drama on the night And I wasn't expecting Green Book to take out best musical or comedy But I think that just goes to show what a kind of average era was at the cinema and the best films I still think weren't even amongst the nominees like, you know a quiet place and leave no trace And I don't know Avengers Infinity War. I mean, I know Marvel put everything into Black Panther this year But I don't think anyone actually thought Black Panther was going to win But yeah, Bohemian Rhapsody seems to be a big mainstream audience favorite But it's it hasn't received the same kind of love from critics So that's why I was genuinely surprised when it took out that award and in the case of Green Book There's been a lot of controversy as to whether that film is accurate and portraying that character's life and whether it's historically accurate Um, a lot of the headlines are talking about a star is born getting snubbed But I didn't generally think that Lady Gaga or Bradley Cooper would win I I heard later on in the piece that Glenn closest performance in The Wife was quite strong And she ended up winning to everyone's shock and surprise Over Lady Gaga and you could hear the gasps from the audience. They were genuinely shocked, especially Glenn close She was pretty shocked. No one's been this shocked since I found out Glenn close was in hook Playing that man with the beard. Remember remember that? That was weird. Okay. So the acting categories The one I was most disappointed in was actually a television category uh, Amy Adams got the snub for Sharp Objects and uh, Patricia Arquette won for Ben Stiller's series Escape at Danimora I thought Amy Adams in Sharp Objects was the best performance I've seen in any HPA show for a long time So that's the only one that's the only category. I really was kind of rooting for someone Um, Patricia Clarkson did win for that show playing a mother if you haven't seen Sharp Objects, do check it out Uh, PS Budd Richard Madden won for Bodyguard, which is a lot of people's favorite show on Netflix last year Very tense show. I think it was well deserved Rami Malek took out Best actor in a drama for Bohemian Rhapsody and he was clearly surprised clearly stoked. He's a really nice dude I don't anyone who criticizes Bohemian Rhapsody. I don't think anyone's criticized him in that film As I said before I never actually thought Bradley Cooper would win in this category I just he was sold in that film But I think his direction of that movie was more impressive than his actual performance And I think Gaga outshines him in that film. So I think this was always Rami's to win And on the other side You've got best actor in a comedy or musical and this was always going to go to christian bale And let's just face the facts. He's going to win freaking everything over award season including the oscar and his speech was quite humorous because He kind of alluded to the fact that when he opens his mouth He says things he regrets and I think he was kind of what he was getting out there is, you know, that Very well-known moment in Terminator salvation. You know the one. Let's cut to it now. I want you off the fucking set you prick No, don't just be sorry think for one fucking second That the fuck are you doing? Are you professional or not? Yes, I am. Do I fucking walk around and rip that? No, shut the fuck up bruce Do I want no? No, don't shut me up. Am I gonna walk around and rip your fucking lights down In the middle of a scene then why the fuck are you walking right through? Ah, da da da da like this in the background. What the fuck is it with you? But yeah, I just thought it was funny in this current climate that he referred to that moment because I honestly think if christian bale blown up on a film set and was made public in that way Like tomorrow he wouldn't be given a second chance, but because all that went down before this current climate I think he got a free pass he's undoubtedly a great actor and He thanked the makeup artists on this film and I think that's that's kind of warranted because much like gary elbin last year They wouldn't have won if it wasn't for the fat face like let's let's face the facts If you have a fat face, you're gonna win an oscar The least biggest surprise of the night was probably lady gargoyle and mark ronston taking out best song for shallow Someone pointed out to me the other day that That song doesn't have a second verse and Now that I've heard that I don't know if I like it as much It's weird. Would it have been that high for them to write a second verse? Well, they're trying to keep it Under a certain amount of time are they thinking about oscar's night when they perform it? And they want to perform it in full but that it can't be too long and because it's going to be like It's definitely going to win oscar's all right. I don't even know why they're bothering with that category Like they should just name the winner already And she's definitely going to cry on the night because man she cried today She loves a good cry But I think nerds everywhere rejoiced when spider-man into the spider-verse took out best animated film Sucked in Incredibles 2 you've got all the money But really this is like there's no one debating that this is this is the best animated film It should go on to win The oscar and yeah, it's just great to see fill lord and chris miller after the year they've had They brought it home. They brought home strong Solo solo is a distant memory now So, uh, yeah go web go So roma is obviously a big talking point because it wasn't eligible for the main drama category But it was in foreign language and that's just a kind of weird thing that the golden globes have a weird rule Where you can't be in one category and not the other category. So our funds are crying got up there Twice so you got up there for foreign language and best director. Look, this guy is going to win a lot of oscar's This this film's had a lot of money put behind it by netflix Is it going to be a historic win for netflix come oscar's time? We'll see what happens over the course of award season because quite often These big films They suffer from fatigue and by the time the oscar's comes around They want to give it to that film that no one's expecting Yeah, so overall this year's golden globes for me were a little bit forgettable I actually do think this is one of the weaker crops of films. We've had in recent times Um, and that was echoed in everything in this award ceremony. Obviously last year Times up all this kind of stuff that was going on There was a lot of um powerful speeches and that whole thing was going on. So it kept the award show kind of Um, like interesting to watch This year it was kind of like that was all gone. There was a lot more color, obviously Not as much black being worn on the red carpet But yeah, it seemed to be everyone was trying really hard not to offend anyone in any of their speeches And as a result of that I think we lost a little bit of the fun of all the speeches I heard today only one of them stood out and it was Olivia Coleman who won for the favorite And um, I think she was pretty tipsy and she um, yeah, she she dropped the f-bomb She swore a few times and she just didn't give a fuck like straight up and that's that's great But I wanted to see more of that like that's what the gobs globes is for because it's a golden globes Like what the hell is the hollywood foreign press association? Anyway, no one even knows So yeah golden globes. I give it But probably like three stars out of five. Um, yeah, so that's it for me for this wrap up We might do a few more of these over the course of award season and we'll definitely do something special for the Oscars Until next time. I'm Ben and we'll see you nerds at the movies Um, and even Mark Ronson was tearing up a little bit as well. God bless his soul Um Was it the right way around? Shit But
