{Awards Season 2016} Golden Globes
The 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards (held yesterday, January 10, at the Beverly Hilton) was one of the most underwhelming shows in recent years. It didn't help that even host Ricky Gervais, who mispronounced Quvenzhane Wallis's name last year, seemed bored with it. But the good news is that there were so many former young/child actresses as winners and nominees!
I have nothing against Zendaya Coleman, 19, but I do find it puzzling that she gets invited to prestigious award shows like this one and last year's Oscars. She's more of a singer than an actress nowadays, and she's not especially famous. Can someone explain this?
Corinne Foxx, 21, who grew up attending award shows with her father Jamie Foxx ( Annie), was this year's Miss Golden Globe. Miss Golden Globe was originally an award given to an emerging young actress, but over time, it became a title given to a celebrity daughter.
Saoirse Ronan, 21, was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture: Drama for Brooklyn, but she lost to Brie. Hers was the only nomination for Brooklyn at the Globes, which I think slowed down her otherwise strong momentum.
Jennifer Lawrence, 25, won Best Actress in a Motion Picture: Musical/Comedy for Joy. Jennifer and Amy Schumer did one of the funniest bits of the show when they presented clips together from Joy and Trainwreck (both nominated for Best Picture: Comedy). They had such great rapport, almost as good as Amy Poehler and Tina Fey last year.
Brie Larson, 26, won Best Actress in a Motion Picture: Drama for Room, which was also nominated for Best Motion Picture: Drama and Best Screenplay. Saoirse, Jennifer, and Brie are all projected to get Best Actress nominations at the Oscars, but no frontrunner has emerged for that category yet.
Emmy Rossum, 29, attended together with her fiance, writer/producer Sam Esmail, whose show Mr. Robot won Best TV Series: Drama.
Kirsten Dunst, 33, was nominated for Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie for Fargo, but she lost to Lady Gaga for American Horror Story: Hotel.
Gaby Hoffmann, 34, attended to support her show Transparent, which was nominated for Best TV Series: Musical or Comedy but lost to Mozart in the Jungle. These photos are of Gaby at Amazon's afterparty; I couldn't find any photos of her at the actual show.
Kate Winslet, 40, won Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for Steve Jobs. (Her Titanic costar Leonardo DiCaprio won Best Actor: Drama for The Revenant.) This is Kate's third Golden Globe win.
It is wonderful to see these ladies all looking so good and doing so well! This year's Oscar nominations will be announced on Thursday, and the Critics Choice Awards are next Sunday!
