Golden Globe's Recap And Complete List Of Winners

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Last night Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted one of the most watched Golden Globes awards shows in history. The Golden Globes are known for being more of a party for Hollywood’s elite rather than a prestigious awards show, largely because of the open bar and the questionable nature of the Hollywood Foreign Press (Who are they anyway?). The show was rife with antics from the hosts and presenters, such as Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig’s laugh our loud funny introduction for Best Actress and Glenn Close’s full body drunk dance. Jodie Foster also delivered a stirring speech when she accepted the Cecile B. DeMille lifetime achievement award. The guests all seemed to be having a fabulous time and thoroughly enjoyed themselves the entire night, probably because Ricky Gervais and his crass personal attacks were nowhere to be found.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were without a doubt amazing hostesses, my only complaint being they weren’t on stage nearly enough.They delivered some zingers, such as equating Katheryn Bigelow’s marriage to James Cameron to torture methods used in her film Zero Dark Thirty, but overall the humor tasteful and classy. I think it proves the comidennes’ true comedic genius when they didn’t have to resort to abrasively deriding their fellow actors and actresses to get a laugh. Something to keep it mind come Oscar night, Seth MacFarlane.

Last night’s big winners were unpredictable and definitely shake things up for the impending Oscars. Thanks to The Huffington Post, here is the complete list of winners from last nights show:

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
