In their opening coast-to-coast "monologues", Tina Fey and Amy Poehler both addressed this controversy: "The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of around ninety international non-black journalists" … [Read more...]
Palm Springs 2020 Should Win the 78th Golden Globe Awards
Palm Springs is a directorial debut for Max Barbakow, otherwise a very fine screenwriter. It is flawless. Unfortunately regarding the Golden Globe nominations, it is listed just for the Best motion picture, musical or comedy, and for Best Actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy for the SNL alumni, Andy Samberg.

The Golden Globes 2018 Awards – Winners and Nominees
I used to think that the Golden Globes are less rated than the Oscars. I was wrong.

The journalists who gave their vote for the Golden Globes 2018 Awards know where China, India or Bangladesh are situated on the map.
