The Golden Globes
« on: January 05, 2020, 09:04:08 PM »
I've never watched the Golden Globes. I've never been bummed about that until now. Apparently Ricky Gervais totally ripped every Hollywood hypocrite in the room during his speech tonight.  :rofl:

I guess the Golden Globes found a way to get people watching. If not this year, then maybe the next one.

Well Joaquin Phoenix was on the right track with his private jet finger pointing, but then went back to being Hollywood by proclaiming that, to save the Earth, he would wear the same clothes more than once:

If that's not classic Hollywood detachment from reality, nothing is.  :laugh:

Oscars Committee Announces New Host: Jordan Peterson

Quote
The professor and author reportedly responded to the invitation by saying, “Who chooses who hosts the Oscars? I’ll tell you who: a bureaucracy, staffed with precisely the type of people you would not want to be making those decisions. Did you see what happened to Kevin Hart? It’s not good.”

Peterson ranted for a few more minutes before acquiescing with “Sure, I’ll host the bloody thing.”

Might end up being a bit dry, but it would be entertaining.   =D
