Yay awards season is finally here! First up we had the Golden Globes Sunday night hosted by Jimmy Fallon. The show as a whole was OK. There were not a lot of funny moments so to say, but more so memorable ones with some great winners and some amazing speeches (Meryl!!). Jimmy Fallon I thought was an alright host. I loved the opening La La Land inspired sequence but other than that and Questlove, he really did not bring anything new to the table.
Make sure to check out TSL’s live twitter feed from yesterday’s show for more of my reactions and opinions about the show!
Some highlights:
- Best Motion Picture Drama: Moonlight, I’m excited to see this film but I feel like it is being majorly swept under the rug.
- Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical: La La Land, the film swept the Globes with a record-breaking 7 wins.
- Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama: Isabelle Hupert for Elle, I was not expecting this!
- Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama: Casey Affleck for Manchester by the Sea
- Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical: Ryan Gosling for La La Land, yup I had a feeling it would go to either of the Ryans (the other being Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool).
- Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical: Emma Stone for La La Land, yup predicted that.
- Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture: Aaron Taylor-Johnson for Nocturnal Animals, I love him so I was really happy with his win! Though I think Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) might have been robbed.
- Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture: Viola Davis for Fences, one of the best wins of the night and her speech was great.
- Best TV Series Drama: The Crown, happy to say I predicted it!
- Best TV Series Comedy: Atlanta, did not see this one coming but I am so happy it won. It’s a great show!
- Best Actor in a TV Series Drama: Billy Bob Thornton for Goliath, yup predicted it.
- Best Actress in a TV Series Drama: Claire Foy for The Crown, yup predicted this one too!
- Best Actor in a TV Series Comedy: Donald Glover for Atlanta, another one of my favorite wins of the night! Love him!
- Best Actress in a TV Series Comedy: Tracee Ellis Ross for Black-ish, she made history as the first black woman to win in this category since Debbie Allen in 1983!
- Best Actor, Limited Series or Motion Picture for TV: Tom Hiddleston for The Night Manager, his speech was probably one of the low moments of night for me. It’s nice to talk about humanitarian work but not when it’s all about your show in the end.
- Best Actress, Limited Series or Motion Picture for TV: Sarah Paulson for The People v. OJ, yup predicted her!
Typing all this out is a lot of work so check out the full list of winners here.
Now onto my other favorite part of awards season: THE RED CARPET!
Joining us again this year with her red carpet picks is Amanda A!
Amy’s Choices
BEST
Lily Collins in Zuhair Murad
My favorite look of the night. I dream about this dress, I am obsessed with this dress. It is absolutely gorgeous!
Reese Witherspoon in Atelier Versace
Love the light yellow color and elegant fit
Viola Davis in Michael Kors
YELLOWWWW, it’s bright and it’s a risk but Viola pulls it off exceptionally
Brie Larson in Rodarte
Classic and gorgeous Brie
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Emma Stone in Valentino Haute Couture
I thought the color was kind of drab on this one actually. The stars make up for it though.
Mandy Moore in Naeem Khan
Liked the cape and cut
THE WORST
Jessica Chastain in Prada
Was not a fan of the color, cut, or design at all
Zoe Saldana in Gucci Premiere
Get those ruffles out of here! Zoe Saldana’s looks are often hit or miss with me.
Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen
Those sleeves though..I’m not sure if the dress would be much better without them though.
Felicity Jones in Gucci
Sorry Amanda A, I know you like this dress but it just didn’t cut it for me. I like the black details the more I look at it, but the dress as a whole disappointed me.
Amanda’s Choices
Surprising number of great dresses on the carpet last night! It was extremely hard to narrow them down this time. Loved to see some of these ladies taking risks with their fashion choices that paid off.
BEST
Viola Davis in Michael Kors
Tell me who else pulls off highlighter yellow like that?
Felicity Jones in Gucci
Jessica Biel in Elie Saab Haute Couture
A bit too low cut and she doesn’t have much to show for it.
Sarah Jessica Parker in Vera Wang
Was she trying to pay homage to Princess Leia? Idk
Jessica Chastain in Prada
Looked kinda like a bedspread. Not feeling the color, cut, or details
Sofia Vergara in Zuhair Murad
Eh a bit much
That’s the end of our Golden Globes coverage! Special thanks to Amanda A for her red carpet picks and to Asha A for watching the show with me again! We’ll be back for the SAG awards Saturday, January 29th.
