the golden globes doesn't need a host.

If Oppenheimer is winning Best Picture, I think Cillian is coming along for the win. He is the face of the movie. He is Oppenheimer.

CILLIAN MURPHY winning made me soooo happy. He’s a masterful actor, has been for years & his layered performance in Oppenheimer is the gift that keeps on giving every time I re-watch it I find new things to find in his role. Definitely one of my favourite performances ever. I’m so glad he won. 🏆 👑 All the Oppenheimer wins were the highlight for me. Favourite film of 2023 by far! It was a brilliant cinematic achievement deserving of recognition in my eyes. All the wins tonight were really wonderful. And I thought everyone spoke well & gave us some memorable speeches despite being rushed off. Congrats to everyone 👏

We should be asking ourselves why the Box Office Achievement category was given clips while the acting categories didn't get a single clip.

Honestly if the duo Martin Short - Steve Martin host all these awards it would be the best

Cillian Murphy needs to win the Oscar.

miss Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and Ricky Gervais. Glad to see Anatomy of a Fall get some love

Yeah Bradley Cooper not winning GG is a blow for sure. I think it’s more a Cillian Murphy vs. Paul Giamatti race now. I think Cillian could win it outright but we’ll see!

So glad Cillian won. I screamed!!! Love that they acknowledge the more subtle performance! He’s most likely winning the SAG, It’s the most watched movie besides Barbie and so many of his brilliant work has gone unrecognised. Like he should have won an Emmy and/or BAFTA for Tommy Shelby

Did anyone else think the room was really packed? Compared to previous years, it felt like they had either moved to a new place or they squeezed in a few more tables. Plus, it was really dark.

God the host was HORRIBLE who even was that guy, why was he given the duty of hosting We went from having Ricky Gervais and Amy Pohler+Tina Fey, to... this guy ? That small little comedy bit Kristen Wiig and Will Farell did was leagues ahead of what the host did in the whole show

Animated was a surprise, and I hope Boy and the Herron wins the Oscar as well.

Cillian Murphy’s performance is as great as Daniel Day Lewis’ in There Will Be Blood, why are we even surprised he is winning stuff?

Cillian Murphy is 47. He looks like 27, so young, so boyish. It makes his performance so much more astonishing.

I’m really happy for Oppenheimer’s wins! RDJ and Score seemed like two awards in the bag from the get go for me, but seeing Cillian Murphy win was great as it seemed like Bradley Cooper may finally win, eventhough he wasn’t better than Cillian, we know how awards love to give people their due, even if it’s not one of their best performances or work. So Cillian winning was great and of course seeing Christopher Nolan finally win not just Best Director but Best Picture was the best for me. I hope this will translate throughout the award season as I’d love to see Oppenheimer constantly win award after award. Thank you for the video Brian, keep up the great work and take care!

The Oscar's have been popping- the Will Smith slap and the win to La La Land were unreal. Buzz.

Anatomy of a Fall's screenplay is so deserved. It's so tight and nothing about it was superfluous and was so nuanced.

The "supporting" win did NOT go to that dress. OMG- Randolph's dress was departing as she spoke.

Glad Kieran Culkin won! Awesome performance ❤

They need to get Tina and Amy back to host. I think we saw our Oscar winners win last night. Cillian, Lily, RDJ, Da'Vine. I think the only upset could be Gosling at SAG. Screenplay felt like out of no where. Justine Triet's speeches were very good though despite her apologizing for her heavy French accent.

I think the Golden Globes should have done what the Oscars did one year: no host. How did they expect to have a great comedic host if they gave him less than a week to prepare.

Great video! Brian serving winter realness with the puffer coat 🥰And I thought the same thing with the commercials and the host. I'm surprised there was no mention of PGA, which I see Oppenheimer winning too. Will be very curious with SAG, BAFTA, and WGA to see if Anatomy Of A Fall really maintains that momentum in screenplay, I don't fully see it for now but we'll see.

Omg I’ve been following this channel for a couple of months now. I’m excited for this award season with your updates and reactions. ☺️😊

Thanks for your interesting commentary, Brian. You are so professional. Even when you are criticizing something, you are gentle and fair. In other words, you are not an attention seeker or diva. You are the best at what you do. Keep up the great work!

Was waiting for this to drop 💛 Perfect start to a new week!

That win for Best Screenplay shocked me. I do feel bad for “Past Lives.” Agreed with everything you said about the Globes - from the cringey opening monologue to the winners. I thought sag award nominations announce Wednesday?

Please explain the Lily hype to me. I just do not see it. I am all in on Emma Stone winning. Best performance of the category IMO.

I’m here for the Da’Vine sweep!

The picks were all very safe. Every film I had pegged to win in its category did win. I have a feeling the Oscars this year might be a bit of a borefest to be honest because we will be able to easily predict the winners based off this.

The only Oscar Bradley Cooper will ever get is an honorary Oscar or lifetime achievement Oscar. He tries too hard to win.

I think this is the year of quiet yet powerful performances. Look at the winners, many were subtle but great in their roles (Cillian, Gladstone, Da'Vine, etc). Also this award season is looking more like a PoorThenheimer than a Barbenheimer.

I’m kind of grateful my cable box stopped working and I could just watch this recap this morning.

rooting for Sandra Huller

Anatomy of a Fall winning screenplay was such a fun surprise. I have a feeling there will be quite a few sweeps this year, which is boring, so I hope there are more upsets in store. That being said, the winners were all great, so I can’t complain!

You know Bradley was cursing everyone after tonight His role is Oscar bait to the max!

Do you think that the awards voters just see through Bradley Cooper's obvious attempts to win an Oscar for himself?

I was half watching this while watching the Bills game, so I had the show muted during everything that wasn’t the awards themselves. I feel like I lucked out

Maestro is an Oscar-bait movie if I've ever seen one. I'm sorry but let's get that Zac Efron nomination over Bradley Cooper.

'I got 8/10 right'. Cat that got the cream... 🤪

I liked the set up of the tables this year but the host was terrible. I was very pleased with alot of the winners particularly Nolan, Stone and Giamatti. Anatomy Of A Fall shocked me in Screenplay. I didn't like the box office category. I'm looking forward to the BAFTAS and Oscar's soon.

I didn't realize I'd miss the Cecil B DeMille and Carol Burnett awards

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

predictable is fair, solid, and fulfilling. hope jurors don’t get tempted to give any award to someone with the intent to avoid being boring or predictable.

I haven't really been keeping up with movies within the last few years, but I enjoy watching the award shows and people discussing the awards season race. Plus, I like hearing "Stone vs. Gladstone" 😅

I have mixed feelings about Maestro. I’m happy that Cillian won. It might lack in the makeup transformation or require a flamboyant performance, but is consistent, singular, complex with emotional payoffs that I just didn’t get with Bradley really. He’s an exceptional actor, but I feel that he went, almost, the Bohemian Rhapsody route of telling a queer man’s story through the lens of a hetero relationship. It’s not to say that the marriage didn’t have its significance, but to brush off his side relationships as mere frivolous affairs is rather insulting. Matt Bomer could have had a much more meaningful part but it was cut short, a relationship between musicians.

This is the first Globes award show where I turned off my TV within 5 minutes of the show. It was just so cringe-worthy. Last year's show is still my favourite. Who can forget that heartfelt speech from Ke Huy Quan that left not a single dry eye in the room.

I completely agree with you about the presenters “jokes”, they were just so cringey and unnecessary. They kept going on and on and left almost no time for the winners speeches. If they cut down those awful jokes the show would be only 2 hours long and there would be hardly any commercials, win/win right? But I doubt CBS or any other broadcaster would like that.

gladstone has a similar narrative that yeoh had last year, she is to become the first indigenous to win a competitive oscars of any kind. unlike yeoh, gladstone swept most of the critic awards that yeoh didn't last year. stone had already won an oscars, and she's young. so she might end up suffering the same fate that blanchette did last year. this year the 4 acting categories are so much more predictable than it was last year, which was a nail bitter down to the oscars.

the presenter's banter was so unneeded, just get to the winners!

I watched Maestro the other day-got about 30 minutes in, almost shut it off in annoyance, but finished watching it to see if it got better- and I was viciously disappointed. I have a laundry list of narrative and aesthetic qualms with the film, but what struck me was that I wasn’t a lone wolf. The tide has really shifted against Maestro on Letterboxd, too- at best, it’s mid.

I was super hype for all the acting wins (crossing my fingers for Cillian at SAG lol; like you said BAFTAs is his, but I also need a SAG win to feel secure about the Oscars. I wouldn't be mad at Paul swooping in, but I do hope it's Cillian's). I was hoping for Past Lives to win. I adored that movie so much (it and Oppenheimer were my favorite movie-going experiences last year). I know this channel focuses on films, but I love The Bear...that category fraud of being in comedy tho because Succession (which I also love) was not going to lose at all in Drama is bleh lmao.

I really don’t think Jo Koy was that bad of a host. Was his monologue the best? No. Did all his jokes land? Nope. Is it the worst we’ve seen? NO! He clearly knew he was bombing because he kept to the wings for much of the show. At least he had some self awareness and stayed out of the way. The unfunny banter between presenters was FAR more egregious. Some of those just went on and on and on. (Kevin Costner and America Ferrera, wtf?)

Bring back the Cecil B Demille award too! It’s one of my favorite parts

Devine Joy will be the oscar.

Remember Fun Bobby from Friends when he got sober? That’s what happened last night to the Golden Gloves.

Oppenheimer is coming for absolutely everything, the only movie I think it could take away a few awards for Oppie: The Holdovers. Not even Poor Things, I really believe it’s about to go down between The Holdovers and Oppenheimer.

Well, the reality is the Hollywood part and press no longer runs the show it’s Dick Clark productions that owns it I think the reason why the nominations were spot on, and the winners were spot on is because they’ve been creased the golden Globe voting membership from 60 white people to 300 people and it’s ethnically proportionate. I do believe Audrey day This seem like it was produced by Dick Clark productions. It’s more about trying to be entertaining instead of just getting the awards out there Audra Day and Jon Batiste were hysterical. They should host next year.

Am curious if you were predicting The Boy and the Heron to win Animated Film. I honestly believe that Jo Hisaishi will get an Oscar nomination for it because it will cap off his and Miyazaki’s collaborative careers if this is indeed Miyazaki’s swan song (or would that be Heron song) movie.

“Poor Things” absolutely shook me. So it likely won’t win any Oscars. And I feel bad for Jo Koy…he’s actually funny IRL. Don’t know what happened.

I thought it was a total embarrassment. The host was abysmal, and he was keenly aware that he repeatedly bombed, as noted by the silence in the room and the dismal looks on the faces in the audience. From reading acceptance speeches written on scraps of paper, to time-wasting, unfunny banter between presenters, to a ridiculous "People's Choice" category, this was not a good start to awards season. I'm not quibbling with the winners - just the production itself.

They need to bring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler back. They made every year funny without resorting to insulting or humiliating the guests.

I’m not a Joe Koy fan, but I think people are being a little too rough on him. I really don’t think the bar is that high. It takes a really special presenter to make a big impression. That usually happens once or twice a decade.

Oppenheimer!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Why did the host only get 10 days notice? Did someone else pull out of hosting the show? If you had been keeping an eye on the (many) film critics awards you'd have seen that Murphy and Giamatti have been winning most of them. Cooper has only won one so far, Las Vegas film critics. They are usually a good indicator of Oscar success.

My mom and I were actually holding hands when Best Actress Drama and Best Picture Drama was about to be announced, we had watched Anatomy of a Fall the night before and couldn't stop talking about it. After it had won Screenplay and International film, I was SO hoping Huller would win Actress, and by some luck it would have won over Oppenheimer (I knew Nolan would win for Director). But we were pretty bummed. And I still think Gladstone should be supporting.

Cries in Past Lives

Congrats to Da’vine Joy Randolph🎉🎉🎉🎉

Cillian and Paul have been going to a lot of SAG events and really shaking hands with those people. Also both are in more popular films.

I really want Paul Giamatti to win the whole thing but he probably won’t

Giamatti should win everything. It’s a masterpiece performance.

I still want a surprise with the other award shows.

Cilian Murphy at the Globes looked like Mike Myers if he was doing an SNL bit

I think Murphy is pretty much a lock for the Oscar. You're probably right about RDJ, but i hold out hope for Charles Melton. If Sandra Huller doesn't win for Anatomy, she was robbed. Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest are my two favorites of 2023, but i don't expect either to take Best Picture. It'll be Oppenheimer. It's more commercial (and way better) than KOTFM and more serious (and marginally better) than The Holdovers. Maestro is toast.

I worked with Leonard Bernstein at Tanglewood, and Maestro annoyed me so hard. I normally like the Globes, but something about the round stage, was weird. Hoping Christopher Nolan wins his Oscar this year. And RDJ is amazing. I’ve always liked him since Less Than Zero

That poor host. What a tough gig…

The Best Supporting Actors I would love to give one giant award to all of them. They were all fantastic. Picking one in this case seems random to me, but this is when popularity kicks in and RDJ has the narrative. Cooper's going to have a long season of watching others win I'm afraid. I feel bad for him cause he's not the first actor to jump at a biopic role in hopes of winning an Oscar. Many have done that in the past with success. But he's no more entitled to an Oscar than any other actor who's never won (coughcoughGlennClose).

I can see Paul winning the Critics Choice for Lead Actor and Cillian winning at SAG and BAFTA and Paul being the surprise win for the Oscar RDJ is sweeping the Supporting Actor race, but I could see Ryan winning at SAG or even Critics Choice (possibly even tying with RDJ) Da’Vine is sweeping Supporting Actress. Danielle may win at SAG or even BAFTA. I honestly don’t know how Best Actress could play out. Sadly Fantasia is out. She’ll still show up everywhere as the 5th nominee tho. Other than Critics Choice, I don’t think Margot will get in anywhere else besides maybe SAG. I think Natalie and Sandra will round the out the Top 5 at the Oscars and it’ll be: Fantasia, Natalie, Sandra, Emma and Lily and I think Lily will win. Edit: thanks to the person who pointed out the Sarah mishap lol. Auto correct kept changing Sandra to Sarah for whatever reason.

We all went wrong with the Screenplay. But it was a wonderful shock

Oppenheimer is locked in for the sweep. Let’s be honest

I just saw Poor Things this past weekend. IMO it is very accessible for an "art" film because of its extremely straightforward and linear storytelling. TBH I was expecting a more complex movie. Even what I think is the turning point in the movie [SPOILER - the boudoir madam telling Bella that living a solely id-led life would lead to darkness] is handled clumsily in 2 lines, almost throw away. Hence the screenplay (while good) is the weakest link in an otherwise creatively-rich movie. By comparison, in Anatomy of a Fall, the screenplay IS the film and the film IS the screenplay. Well deserved win.

Very happy for AOAF. Brilliant movie

Didn't the host say he only had a few days to prepare?

And how about no Cecile b DeMille award, what was that?

Re: Taylor Swift’s reaction to the stupid joke - she may NOT have heard it as she was clearly talking to her neighbor. AND IF SHE DID, that woman hears stupid shit everyday. No doubt, she has learned to tune it out. Either way, no matter what she does, Anti-Swifties will always criticize her no matter what she does.

**sighs** now i have to rewatch Oppenheimer

I think the Academy will give Maestro Best Screenplay which will be Cooper's win.

Where's Ricky G when you need him? 😅😂

No word about Animated Feature? The Boy and the Heron and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse each deserved to win for different reasons. I would not have been unhappy to see either of them take the prize.

You gotta admit christopher nolan stole the show in my opinion when he won and mentioned heath ledger my heart was just💔💔💔💔💔 .

this was cillians once in a lifetime performance and it wasn’t even close to bradley cooper’s best role nor will it be.

Showier performances are not necessarily the best, sometimes they can get to much into overreacting and that's not bad at all, but it totally depends on the performance and the context of said performance, paced and quiet performances are always the best, at least for me

You said you don’t think Cooper has a chance at the Oscars unless he perhaps get the SAG award… Could you perhaps make a video talking about how these awards influence each other? I would love to hear more about that :)

Loved seeing J Lo Ben.

Poor Things will be the one to watch for best actress.

did you talk about score?

Cooper wasn’t the best actor this year. I like him and appreciate his talent but I wish he had NOT made that pointed “6 months” comment. Really ticked me off. Time spent ≠ best.

I can see Paul Giamatti winning the oscar. He had the veteran narrative on his side. He is also a former oscar nominee. Cilian is in the HIT movie of the year openheimer that made millions. This may help him.

Emily Blunt is always great but her role in Oppenheimer was so small & was not showy at all - she basically played a whip-smart nagging wife American shrew. But she may win other awards.

they really went from Jerrod Carmichael knocking it out of the park to Jo Koy giving one of the worst monologues I have ever seen

I agree with your opinions.. they may have showed Clips for the Stand-Up and Box Office Awards because they were Brand New Awards this year.. It almost felt cringe when you have Barry Keoghan's looking too modest to want to be shown, then you see 4 minutes from Guardians of the Galaxy, then back to the ceremony.. It was odd.
