Good thing I literally have reminders in my phone calendar because this year’s Golden Globes snuck up on me even though I literally created a calendar for us! Check it out for the other shows. BAFTA nominees announced Monday!
The Red Carpet and my feelings about it hasn’t changed much from last year, from what I can tell. Still miss a bit more sass and frivolity from the people holding the microphone. More talk about the fashion than the art that they’re there to celebrate. Don’t get me wrong I love the fashion, but I’d love some career talk, especially for the women. E! Has there usual pre-show stuff at 1 pm Pacific, 4 pm Eastern, but the people start arriving at 3 pm Pacific, 6 pm Eastern. The Globes will also cover the red carpet on Facebook. DO check your local listings. I think some of you might get a pre show the hour before, but I know the show starts at 5 pm Pacific, 8 pm Eastern on NBC! (I live in Seahawk territory, and there is a game tomorrow. Hell, it might preempt the start for me.)
When the nominees were first announced there was a little inkling online that there might be a Golden Globes so white protest. And to be honest the Golden Globes this year are pretty white, and lacking in some notable female nominees. For one, Greta Gerwig is ignored for her stellar directing of Little Women. I only went because my mom wanted to see it and I have Regal Unlimited. I had tried rereading the novel last year and couldn’t get into it. Totally loved it. Different from other versions, and so well done.
However, the Globes weren’t considered anything really prestigious by those in Hollywood in the past. When the nominees were announced this year, I remembered an interview that Andy Cohen did on his radio station. He interviewed Bill Persky, the father of one of his longtime friends and someone who wrote for and worked on the Dick Van Dyke Show. I remembered him saying that nobody really cared about going to the Golden Globes and that they would typically tell people if they won so that they could get them to show up.
Golden Globes Not Really A Big Deal?
I think Bill even mentioned that people left the award itself on the dinner table. There was a scandal at one time that the Golden Globes would tell people that they were going to win, but if they didn’t show up they’d give it to somebody else. Because of that NBC got into trouble with the FCC, so they refused to air the Golden Globes for 6 years in the late 50s, early 60s.
They also were lucky too in that some started thinking they were a good predictor of the Oscars. Maybe 20 years ago, that was true (I’m too lazy to look up their accuracy… just thinking what the regular folk like me think). This was when the Academy demographic was probably extremely similar to the HFPA. But since? The Academy has worked on broadening their membership. I think the Golden Globe being a predictor of the Oscars really fell apart officially when La La Land won a record number of Golden Globes (7) four years ago, only to lose the Best Picture to Moonlight at the Oscars in that dramatic screw up. (Moonlight was the better movie, FYI)
Are The Golden Globes Still Fun?
But honestly, none of that should matter in our enjoyment of tonight’s show. It is a fun fundraiser and makes for good TV! The Globes are fun because they are right after the holiday stress, and the famous people get tipsy. Then they had the very inappropriate Ricky Gervais host. Today should be fun with Ricky back and still not giving a flying fuck about what people think.
Besides Ricky, we have Pierce Brosnan’s two boys as the Golden Globe Ambassadors. Ambassadors are always at least second generation Hollywood. (kids and sometimes also grandkids of stars). So, the two I am really excited about are Sir Elton John AND Bernie Taupin! I am so rooting for Rocketman this season. SEE IT.
AND THE NOMINEES ARE
I realized tonight that I hadn’t watched any of the drama nominees. Three of them are Netflix films. So I watched The Irishman. Not only is it slow, but it is 3 and a half hours long. It is predicted to be a strong contender for an Academy Best Pic nominee. So, if you, like me, try to watch all the Oscar nominations, be grateful that it is on Netflix. It wasn’t horrible, but definitely no Goodfellas or Casino. It is still Scorsese directing Pacino, De Niro, and Pesce. But frankly, they are all too old for this. It is only their acting, the direction, and my appreciation for them that kept me watching tonight.
I am not sure what to think about the fact that 3 out of 5 of the Drama noms and 1 of the 5 Comedy/Musical noms are available on your computer and not necessarily in your movie theater. (all Netflix) If they end up with Oscar nominations, I predict a change in the rules. But they may be bumped out by films that premiered in 2019, but AFTER the Globe nominees were announced.
I have already proclaimed my love for Rocketman (Taron Edgerton is AMAZEBALLS). But let me implore you… go see Knives Out before it leaves the theater! Simply delicious and FUN. Saw it last Sunday as a kick off of my trying to see as many Oscar nominees as I can (just guessing at this point. The female star Ana de Armas was very good, and she’ll be acting again with Daniel Craig in the next Bond flick.
What Are These Shows?
I can’t speak much on the TV stuff. But, ZERO network shows have any sort of nominations. A bunch of them are from services I don’t subscribe to, and to be honest, Mrs. Maisel dropped near Christmas and I haven’t watched it or Kominsky Method. So by default I am rooting for The Crown for drama (and Olivia Coleman and Helena Bonham Carter) and would be happy if anyone affiliated with Maisel or Kominsky got the trophy.
Special awards should be fun. But, you probably shouldn’t expect an Oprah type speech. Ellen DeGeneres is getting the Carol Burnett Award. National Treasure Tom Hanks is getting the Cecile B. DeMille Award. Looking forward to that!

I am not sure I like this… I feel old because I don’t know half these people!
Love Rickie G! Will watch just for the shits and giggles with him!
100% agree! He hammered the idiots!!
I don’t know any of the shows except for Killing Eve and a couple of others. Have seen none of the movies.
BUT DID KERRY WASHINGTON FORGET TO WEAR A SHIRT?????
Missed her. I think Jennifer Lopez took the fabric for the front of her dress. And Alex is looking SAGGY.
Oh my gosh… Seeing it now. Benefit of having tiny titties I guess. I can’t relate.
Fleabag is great
Good god. If Giuliana was going for blonde Mortitia cheap Halloween look, mission accomplished .
The dress is good, but the hair style, hair color… All bad!
Thanks for covering this!
Why are leading ladies dressed like it’s the MTV awards? No shirts, neon, see through. Then there’s J-Lo..a whole mess!
She spent the last 3 yrs with A-Rod eating healthy and doing 500 crunches a day to get in the best shape of her life only to cover her entire body with the world largest bow. That’s one of those bows you use when you buy your wife or kid a car Not a good look on a dress.
This is exactly what I said to a friend off site. She words so hard for that body, she could have just gone naked.
Cherize Theron (sp?) wins or ugliest dress! In a sea of REALLY ugly dresses.
The woman who played Harriet Tubman wins my best dressed so far. She was GORGEOUS.
Loved how she was stled tho.
Nicole Kidman just crashes a career convo with Laura Dern. Laura is having a good year. I.love her dress.
Both Tiffany Haddish and Priyanka Chopra both had pink dresses I loved. Really fresh looking, even if the styles were a little safe.
Is Jennifer Lopez suppose to be gift wrap?
Want to know what CJ and Les think of Scarlett dress.
Golden Globes are On at 5pm here in OC. I did not watch the Red Carpet pre-show, but Ricky Gervais made a Baby Yoda joke and was bleeped a few times in his opening monologue-
Jennifer Aniston looks incredible (hair & dress) 💖
Loved the opening monologue. Ricky was nasty, nasty.
Lengthy standing ovation for Elton John & Bernie.
Favorite moment so far.
Bernie Taupin, the absolute-and-forever unsung hero of 1970’s rock-pop.
My hero since 1969.
I think Elton would agree. The movie really is a beautiful love story about THEM. It is still appropriate that it is called Rocketman. I think Bernie has been perfectly fine being able to walk down the street, with lots of cash in his pocket and a creative outlet.
I’m participating in Dry January and I’m really regretting my life choices during some of these speeches
THE ELLEN SHOW HAS BEEN ON FOR 17 YEARS????!!!!!!
That was my thought too – where has my life gone if she has had that show for that long!
I am trying to decide if I want to recap RHOA now, during the boring middle hour. Or at the end. I guess I can tape now, and then zip through and try to catch up with y’all by the end?
Tough call. I thought I had the schedule, but I think they have already flipped shit around.
Ok, am I the only one who cried when Kate MacKinnon’s chin started quivering? I hope not.
Also disappointed they didn’t do a shot of Laura Dern.
I was touched by her words. Big occasion for her, personally. I believe this was her coming out moment. Very heartfelt.
I didn’t think of that. I’ve somehow known for a while and didn’t think it was a big secret.
It bugs me *on the tv side* that none of “my” shows are nominated. Sterling K. Brown absolutely deserves a Globe and another Emmy! Milo Ventimiglia as well, both for This Is Us. None of the network tv shows I watch/dvr each week are even nominated! What’s up with that??
I feel ya. But check out the Crown!
People are spending time and $$$ on streaming and cable shows. Only network show I watch now is Survivor.
What bugs me a bit is that these streaming shows do what, 9 episodes? Whereas one of the sitcoms I adore that doesn’t get attention it deserves is Young Sheldon makes about 22 episodes a season.
Don’t get me wrong, I ADORE some of the streaming shows. I Stan for the Crown.
Patricia Arquette is one of my favorite actresses and she’s fearless. However, her style is horrendous. I was seriously worrying she was going to have boob slippage, over the top of her dress.
My oldest waitressed a full family Arquette family table in Tuscon some years ago, they tipped well and were fun yet still “just trying to fit in”.
OLIVIA COLEMAN!!!!!!!
I just love her.
Me too. I’m a big Crown fan.
Me too. Obsessed, frankly.
The jewels are fabulous tonight.
We don’t deserve Tom Hanks.
I’m still sobbing over Tom. I HAVE A COLD!
When he looked at his wife and kids? And at first I doubted Charlize being the intro… But when he said she was one of those one named people? That drop to the floor was sincere. Oh.. And his shout out to learning from Peter Scolari and his Captain Phillips Co star?
As my other mom would have said… Tom Hanks is a true mensch.
I loved his nod to Peter Scolari. I saw him on Broadway once. We need to see WAY MORE of him. He is a brilliant actor and also a very nice person. I met him outside the door.
That is awesome! I am jelly!
Almost caught back up, but how does Jodie Comer not win best actress?????? HOW?
I don’t even know who she is….
OKAY. I am going to try to breath through what you just said. I need to to stop EVERYTHING you are doing a binge all the seasons of Killing Eve immediately and without ceasing. If you look up to the black box you will find a link to all the recaps. You will need them. GO NOW!
Ok. Putting it on my list… Got movies to worry about before the SAG and BAFTAS. All this when I am trying to watch less!
Nothing you are doing in the next 24 hours is more important than bingeing Killing EVE. NO THING. How did you not watch this? DO YOU NOT READ ME AT ALL? 🙁 It’s quality TV that you have to watch and not play solitaire at the same time (my bad habit with crap TV). It’s SOOOOO good. Do not rest until you have done this!
Well Actually binging might make your brain explode. watch like two episodes and then take a break. It’s A LOT.
I second everything Tamara said about Killing Eve. It was the only series I’ve ever watched where I actually gasped out loud, more than once, at the plot twists. Superlative acting, fabulous screenwriting, and the opportunity to see spectacular European locations. I can’t wait for the next season to start. Does anyone have any idea when that will be?
How many seasons?
Two seasons, eight episodes each. BBCAmerica. Season 3 should be starting around April, I will need to rewatch everything again in March.
2 seasons that short, doable!
I thought I made it clear this is NOT OPTIONAL! 🙂
https://tamaratattles.com/category/killing-eve-recaps/
You will find my recaps here you will need to go from the bottom up and I am not very good about recappping this show. IT TAKES YOUR FULL BRAIN and all off your attention. It’s ……. AMAZING and I am way too dumb to do a decent recap.
It. Will. BLOW. YOUR. MIND.
Every week there is more than my mind can hold or understand. I CANNOT WAIT for the new season. But my Trump Derangement Syndrome will probably keep me from recappiing . It’s A FUCKLOAD in every fucking episode . I am so jealous that you are new to the show. Please comment on the old posts. We are still not over it all.
Tiffany Haddish slays me. Hanging her arms around some of the winners just standing there.
Brad Pitt is charming and funny. And still gorgeous. That’s all.
How is he suddenly 90s Brad again? Did he learn Paul Riudd’s secret?
I’ve been a fan of Brad’s from the beginning. As far as I’m concerned, he still has it (never lost it in my opinion.) Hes gorgeous, appears humble and smart.
He’s really handsome in person btw. I have thought about seeing that movie but my Grandparents were best friends with the La Bianca’s and I heard that the murders are in this movie. I would like to know more about how the murders are portrayed before I decide to see it.
I have a nephew who is very close to my age (Mother had me late, sister started early). He looks like Brad Pitt. He has gray hair now. Why doesn’t Brad?
He must color it to keep it up. When he had a beard it looked mostly gray..
I’m 55 and not one gray hair yet.
Bitch.
It’s a very good movie. Leo was outstanding. Brad was outstanding. I loved the So Cal vibe (I lived in Hollywood from 79′ to 2012 and it was nostalgic for me.) I dont want to spoil the movie, but the murders are hints only. The subject does not take up screen time.
Dainty.. I appreciate you giving me that input. I was hoping to hear if this would be too upsetting for me.
Cheryle, if it is nominated for an Oscar, I will let you know. I will see it then. I haven’t done well with the violence of QT’s movies (horrid Valentine’s Day date who chose Pulp Fiction as our movie at his place.
)
But someone told me that this movie was different and something I would like so I will give it a try if it is nominated for a BAFTA or Oscar.
I would appreciate your thoughts about it Erika.
* Erica. Sorry. I have a friend whose name is Erika.
I dint want to spoil the movie for you but, no worries with the murders. See it! 😉
TARON!
That is HIS VOICE in the movie you all. I am so happy he won.
Naomi Watts just presented and her dress is GORGEOUS!!
I’m so late, I just realized this was on with open comments. I feel sad for Joaquin.
WTF is the deal with Joaquin Pheonix?
He is a brilliant actor, but I suspect he had been drinkiNg. But even if he hadn’t, the dude is a fucked up acting genius. That is always the deal with him.
Keep in mind that he was born into a family in the Children of God cult. They may have gotten out when he was 3, but he still had parents that were part of it. To top that off, he and his brother were the family supporters as child actors. He watched his brother die on that sidewalk in Hollywood. I think he both reviles this kind of spectacle and appreciates the compliments.
Oh, and he is a long time vegan.
AH! I get it now. He just needs a cheese burger. It is hard to be an overweight vegan. He must drink a lot.
He’s in my opinion, in another zone. I’m ok with other zones. I don’t watch any new Batman movies…since 90’s,?they’re too dark. I loved the innocence of early TV Batman, Robin, the commissioner (umm, the phone?) and batgirl.
I feel like he just needs to be the Marshawn Lynch of Acting and just say ‘I am here so I don’t get fined’ grin, throw some vegan skittles, and leave.
WTF is the deal with Rene Zellweger? I saw her on a talk show recently and she’s batshit crazy.
Did she have surgery again to get back to her original face because I am confused…
In three hours and ten minutes, I managed to watch the entire Golden Globes and recap RHOA. I AM AMAZING! 🙂
I really wanted the girl who played Harriet Tubman to win her category. Even though I have only seen the trailer. She looked GORGEOUS. She was one of if not the best dressed person in the whole joint. I may have a girl crush on her.
You are amazing!
I only saw the preview in the theater for the Harriet Tudman movie. I believe I even stated shortly there after she was basically, super human. I can’t wait to see the movie, I have a serious girl crush too…
It seems she is British or has a foreign accent too and she went to great lengths to get the speaking AND SINGING voice just right.
PS. I had to come see why people are telling me I am amazing. In just that amount of time I forgot what I had posted. I SWEAR I have early onset Old Timers brain.
You are incredible.
Also I keep thinking about starting a post about the Australia fires. I just keep stopping myself for some reason. I’m not really sure why? I am really having a lot of anxiety. I’ve had an eye twitch for the first time ever and it’s lasted two or three days (they all run together). I think I am just trying to avoid discussing the scary things. Like a president who is threatening to attack civilians in Iran. They have enough problems. Oops. Sorry.
Plus he’s threatening to attack cultural sites. Hope the Monument Men are on their way to Iran.
“Cultural sites” are places where many people gather. And also tourist attractions. And yes there are tourists in Iran.
No oops. I think we are all feeling it, and by we I am including the Golden Globe attendees.
As long as I am sharing bad news, THEY ARE GETTING RID OF THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM IN LIBRARIES!
What?
How is that possible? I don’t get it! How will libraries organize?
It seems they are going to do it “like bookstores do” according to the local ATL news.
? Already confused. Are you serious?
It is seriously happening in Atlanta and we are not exactly on the library forefront so….
Jeezus fix it. The dumbing down of America. Oh, and bookstores are different and dying.
Thankfully the dying has been slowed in St Louis. We still have a couple Barnes and Nobles. Plus a robust second hand market. Everyone I know buys books, incl the “kids”. God bless manga.
A childhood friend took over an antiquarian shop in Indiana, and is holding on. She says books seem to be making a comeback.
No. Refuse to accept.
That’s been going on for a long time. When I studied for a Masters in Library Science, it was being phased out in favor of the Library of Congress system. We studied that one much more and this was a while ago..
It often depends on the size of the library as to which they’re going to use. It’ll be interesting to see what “like bookstores do” means.
Oh and thanks, Erica for doing this post. I look to you for all things Music and Movies. xo ~tt
XOXOXOXO.
Thank you for giving me an outlet, and doing incredible , nuanced edits to these blogs I never give myself enough time for, and always finding the perfect Pic I wouldn’t have thought of (I love that Poltergeist one…inspired)
Oh, and for giving me an outlet for my award season obsessions. I don’t think deserve the music crown anymore. I don’t recognize anymore. Happily stuck in the 80s these days with a few exceptions.
And another thing, (sorry just got off “work” lol) Am I the only one who thinks the golden globe looks like a “Golden Dool”? Especially in the top photo. Why are we not mentioning this?
Once seen, it cannot be unseen…
Absolutely doolish! This made me smile. And the shahs of sunset only WISH.
Can we all discuss how horrid Gwyneth Paltrow looked and overall is? I’ve never disliked someone I’ve never met before. Her and Brandi from Dallas, just cannot stand them. Rocky Gervais was hilarious and clearly had zero fucks to give. Jodie Comer is perfection. The Ellen and Tom part brought tears.
Did y’all see Jason Momoa in a tank top? Jason Momoa in a tank top! Jason Momoa took his green velvet jacket off so his wife could wear it at the table. Jason Momoa in a tank top at the Golden Globes and I am here for every glorious Momoament. Brad Pitt, oh Brad Pitt, he is worth setting through any boring movie just to see him.
I just loved Kate McKinnon’s speech. I think she is one of the funniest people on the planet.
Just read that Brad was facing THREE exes… Jennifer, Gwyneth , and Christina Applegate.
You went to moderation for misentering your email twice. lol TWO DIFFERENT EMAILS.
it isn’t autofilling all of a sudden and it is pissing me off! Oh… And I cracked open a boxed wine.
Good girl! I so need to go to the grocery store. I REALLY need to go to whole paycheck foods but it is like 7 miles a way and I would have to not dress like a homeless person. There are perks to living in the ghetto, there is always someone who smells worse than you. 🙂
What really might make me go is I need pepper and salt and olive oil. And some other shit. But there are some things I can only get there.
I am sure that you haven’t noticed this, but I am a weird person. I am very particular about my salt and pepper and olive oil and onions are my favorite vegetables. I spare no expense on those items. You may mock me now.
I may have to fucking pay for Amazon/Whole Foods delivery again. It’s just so outrageous.
I think my other point was I need wine.
I am not necessarily picky on some of my cooking stuff, but that may be more about my not cooking for myself in a while. (I do cook, but usually at my folks) But I am that way with my shoes. I almost exclusively wear Naots and my really good quality hiking boots from REI. My feet are picky bitches who need the shoes to cost 100 bucks or more. Well, and my back is also a picky bitch.
Do you have Instacart? I am contemplating that. My aunt uses it. They will even shop at Costco for you. I go there weekly.
Did I mention that they now have their own boxed wine now???? What I just busted into. Not bad!
You need to get Black Box wine. Their ad should be ” Once you go black you never go back” but um…. that might be too racy.
I tried Instacart to send someone food once and it was a PITA.
My 2020 resolution is to STOP FUCKING TRYING TO HELP ANYONE. It always bite me in the ass and I really can’t afford it.
Black box has always been slightly more expensive than the Bota Box I usually get. My auntie always had Insta going to her house and that seemed easy… But that may be her. She is the Queen of getting shit delivered to her house. It was a godsend when my uncle was recovering from surgery .
You gotta take care of you first. No shame in that. I gave to a local non profit that helps low income people with vet bills. In my heart, it was for my Simon. It was probably not quite equivalent to what I’d be spending on him if he was still alive. But you know? I also needed to continue to sign up for my ceramics classes, and I signed up for Regal Unlimited. Both have helped a lot in my mental health.
Love Instacart. I pick my orders up at the store, where they put it all in the truck.
Considering I currently have 3 different types of onions (incl Bland Farm sweets) in my crispers, I would never point fingers. Don’t get me started on citrus or apples. We planted 60 trees just so I could have my faves.
I might love you KathyD. I am officially out onions. Banjo and I are sharing at single 14 oz veal chop for dinner.
I don’t have much selection for onions. I only eat organic veggies that are under the ground. I try to eat only organic fruits and veggies. Because I am a very healthy person…. OKAY FINE, it’s a balance to my smoking and drinking myself to death. At least I can sometimes get actual Vidalias.
Supposedly there is some sort of new farmers market near my house. I keep wanting to try and go there but I may need to be hospitalized for my severe Trump Derangement Syndrome soon. TDS is no joke.
Oh look! Now we are being attacked by Kenya. Me and Banjo should probably start walking to Punte Del Este.
Wait… do you mean the USA is being attacked by the country of Kenya or are we, you and us your minions, being attacked by Kenya Moore?
It means I need to stop watching the news so I can at least try to function.

I need to renew my passport IMMEDIATELY. I keep putting it off.
you made me get out of bed, check where my passport is, look at that gawd awful picture and the date. I apparently renewed my passport Early 2017, so I can flee to Canada and beg for mercy.
“Little Women” is considered a novel, not an American touchstone? Hmmm. I am old.
I’m confused. It is a touchstone because of its impact as a novel.
Succession and The Crown!
We’re not gonna chat about Our Lord and Saviour Rick Gervais???
“Pick up your little award, thank your agent and your God and fuck off!!!”
He reminded me of myself and my drunken rants, when I’m just sober enough to call everyone a cunt before I black out. Relateable.
Mark, I think for me it was because I was 50/50 on his jokes. They either felt forced like I am never doing this again! which he had already beat to death on the red carpet. If you are miserable there and you are the host, why should I expect a good time. Oh, and fuck him for saying you can’t say anything political. Go ahead and dictate that you smug rich straight white guy whose elected leader isn’t an orange shitgibbon with his finger on the nuclear football and on the attempts to take away your rights to your uterus.
I wanted Patricia Arquette to kick him with that one.
“He reminded me of myself and my drunken rants, when I’m just sober enough to call everyone a cunt before I black out. Relateable.”
Same.
