Golden globe nominations 2018

2nd Update, 7:14 PM: “This is about changing people’s lives, this is about freedom,” said Jeffrey Tambor tonight backstage at the Golden Globes after accepting the the Best Actor in Television Series – Comedy or Musical award. “Jill (Soloway) transformed my life and changed my life. I was given this role called Maura Pfefferman and it’s been the most transformative role and the most challenging,” the actor remarked of his transgendered role on Transparent . “I’m 70 years old, this doesn’t happen every day. This was not for the reviews, the rewards, but to get it right.” Tonight’s GG win was the first for the 6-time Emmy nominated Tambor. The actor also held nothing back in his praise of Amazon Studios . “Amazon and Joe (Lewis) were behind me,” he said of the Jeff Bezos formed company, “they have guts and they have taste.” Tambor’s remarks on the studio and its support echo those of Soloway late last year . Today’s wins were the first major awards for Amazon with the series … [Read more...] about ‘Transparent’ Wins Two Golden Globes With Best TV Series & Best Actor – Comedy Or Musical

In his new ad campaign, former Navy prosecutor Ron DeSantis dons an aviator outfit replete with goggles, billing himself as “Top Gov” and spoiling for a dogfight against the liberal-leaning media. Those who disagree with his positions are promptly dis-invited to future speeches or press conferences. Will this strategy appeal to a broad audience, or will it limit the Florida governor to a “niche”? Top Gov has his eyes on the widest niche — the  presidency — and hence has set his campaign on a political version of Cruise control. Says his top communications aide, ”We know the media hates us and hates everything we stand for.” Does DeSantis honestly believe he can unite the Republican Party by being even more polarizing than Donald Trump was before he was voted out and, many charge, fomented an attempt at a government overthrow by his unruly hardline base, the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers crowd? His strategy is the opposite of the one employed by the Golden Globes and … [Read more...] about Peter Bart: Golden Globes And “Top Gov” Reveal Depths Of The Culture Chasm

Elvis star Austin Butler ’s Golden Globes speech has taken on even greater emotional heft since yesterday’s passing of Lisa Marie Presley : At the end of his acceptance he singled out Lisa Marie and mother Priscilla, pledging his love. Watch the video above. Accepting the win for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Butler, who played the title character in Baz Luhrmann‘s Elvis , said, “The Presley family, thank you guys, thank you for opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me. Lisa Marie, Priscilla, I love you forever.” Butler and the Presleys appeared visibly emotional, with Elvis’ daughter and ex-wife patting their hearts in response to Butler’s words, even as the actor quipped as the wrap-up music started, “You could at least play ‘Suspicious Minds’ or something.” Both Lisa Marie and Priscilla were outspoken supporters of Butler’s performance, with Priscilla saying last year that the actor “got Elvis to a T.” During an ET Golden … [Read more...] about ‘Elvis’ Star Austin Butler Pledges “Forever” Love To Lisa Marie Presley In Golden Globes Speech – Watch

Meryl Streep nailed it when she said, in the final seconds of the 72nd Golden Globe Awards telecast: “How much are we going to miss Amy and Tina?” The co-hosts, sparingly but brilliantly deployed throughout NBC ’s three-hour-three-minute telecast, opened the show with a string of zingers connected to the Sony hack, North Korea and The Interview . Fey welcomed “all you despicable, spoiled, minimally talented brats,” referencing (perhaps even defusing) an email between a certain film producer and a certain SPE executive. The were ably assisted by comedienne Margaret Cho, impersonating a North Korean member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association who was decidedly non-plussed by the event (where are 1,000 children playing the same song on the guitar, she demanded to know. Where’s Dennis Rodman?). They executed several exquisite barbs (I especially loved Poehler’s “ Boyhood proves there are still roles for women over 40—as long as you’re hired before you’re 40,” and … [Read more...] about Amy Poehler & Tina Fey Leave The Bar High For Golden Globes Show – Review

EXCLUSIVE: The 80th annual Golden Globes generated 33M minutes of viewing on Peacock in the first two days the awards show was available on the service. This year not only marked the ceremony’s return to broadcast television on NBC , but it also was the first year that the show was live streamed on Peacock. During the day of the event and the day after, the show drew 793,000 video starts, which the streamer defines as any video start or viewing session, and not unique viewers.

NBC drew its lowest audience ever for the Golden Globes earlier this month, with an average of just 6.3M people tuning in according to live+same-day Nielsen data. The additional context of viewership on Peacock helps paint a picture of how much the … [Read more...] about 2023 Golden Globes Generates 33M Viewing Minutes On Peacock

Hollywood is notoriously fickle. It can create stars overnight and toss them aside as quickly, moving on to the next big thing. Once you are gone, you are usually forgotten, with no second shot at stardom and no career do-overs. Beating the odds, we have not one but two big comeback stories this awards season, Ke Huy Quan and Brendan Fraser . They have both emerged as major awards contenders for the first time in their careers with their first major movie roles in decades, in Everything Everywhere All At Once (Quan) and The Whale (Fraser). Their return to Hollywood’s top echelon was reaffirmed this morning when both received their first Oscar nomination — for Fraser, Lead Actor, and for Quan, Supporting Actor.
