Did You Miss the Golden Globes Last Night?

PopSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 11:59:26 -0800

We haven't been shy about expressing our sadness over the loss of the Golden Globes last night. The short press conference and NBC's news-magazine broadcast couldn't take the place of the red-carpet fashion and acceptance speeches, and the ratings reflected that. Now we want to know what you think - did you miss the Globes last night?

Golden Globes Broadcast Tanks For NBC

BuzzSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:38:59 -0800

NBC fought to keep the Golden Globe Awards on TV, but it looks like the network shouldn't have bothered: This morning's preliminary ratings show that just about 5.8 million people tuned into the network's news magazine broadcast hosted by Billy Bush and Nancy O'Dell. That's about on par with the ratings-challenged Friday Night Lights, or slightly better than your average installment of America's Next Top Model.

I can't say I'm surprised. Here on the West Coast, there was no point in watching NBC's broadcast, which aired three hours after the TV Guide Network and CNN's Larry King Live had already showed the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's press conference announcing the winners. Even on the East Coast, NBC stretched out the broadcast to a full hour while other channels were carrying the 30-minute announcement live. Was NBC banking on people not checking the other channels- or, for that matter, the Internet? Or did they really think Bush and O'Dell would be a big draw for people even if the news was already available everywhere else?

Not that the press conference itself was great TV. For more on that, just read more.

The TV hosts from Extra, Showbiz Tonight, and other Hollywood shows who read the winners' names seemed uncomfortable; some attempted to talk about the writers' strike, while others joked weakly about how much Entertainment Tonight hates Extra and so forth. On CNN, Larry King kept trying to break in with his thoughts, while one commentator on the TV Guide Network summed the whole affair up perfectly: "They did their best, and it came up awkward."

Where did you watch the announcement (if you watched it at all)? What did you think of the stripped-down Globes?

Meanwhile, here are some of my other thoughts on the awards themselves:

I was surprised - pleased and surprised - to see Atonement take the top honors in the dramatic movie category, though I still think No Country for Old Men will take the cake come Oscar time.
I'm glad to see Mad Men win both of the categories it was nominated for. Now, let's get the first season out on DVD so everyone who missed it can check it out!
None of the songs from Once was nominated for a Golden Globe, which I found surprising to begin with. If this happens at the Oscars, I will be shocked. Having said all this, I'm glad Eddie Vedder's "Guaranteed" from Into the Wild won the Globe.
Out of all the TV categories, only a single award went to a network show: Tina Fey's acting award for 30 Rock. Cable networks and premium channels - HBO, Showtime, FX, and AMC - ruled all the rest.
The Oscar race is going to be extremely close when it comes to the top acting categories, as they're not divided into Dramatic Picture and Comedy or Musical. On the other hand, the screenplay awards are divided into original works versus those based on material for another medium. This will be a very interesting year for adaptations.
Don't forget to weigh in on the movie winners, TV winners, and big surprises!

Sugar Bits - The Bucket List Tops Weekend Box Office List

PopSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 09:34:14 -0800

The Bucket List took the top spot at the box office over the weekend, narrowly beating Tracy Morgan's First Sunday, while Juno came in at third. Even in a cheesy buddy flick, you just can't top two of the biggest actors in the world side by side on screen. - BuzzSugar
Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean, and Tyler Perry have been identified as users of steroids and human-growth hormones in an investigation on the use of the drugs. No one has been formally accused of any criminal activity, but a recent look at Timbaland might make one wonder what exactly has been going on. - Times Union (Albany, N.Y.)
Roger Avary, who won an Oscar for writing Pulp Fiction, has been arrested for vehicular manslaughter after being involved in an alleged drunk-driving accident in Ojai, Calif. early Sunday morning, which killed a passenger and injured Avary's wife. Our thoughts are with the passenger's families after this horrible tragedy. - Ventura County Star
The anticlimactic Golden Globe Awards were announced last night. Head over to Buzz to check out the winners. - BuzzSugar
Bjork attacked a paparazzo, who was photographing her arrival at Auckland's airport on Sunday, grabbing the man's shirt and ripping it down the middle. She also assaulted a photographer at a Thai airport in 1996. Note to photographers: Do not mess with Bjork! - The New Zealand Herald

The Golden Globe Awards Were...

PopSugar — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 19:12:45 -0800

...A let down to say the least. Feel free to finish the sentence however you want but it's clear this was the most uneventful year in Golden Globe history. The press conference held at the Beverly Hills Hilton included a bunch of entertainment news anchors from ET, E! News, and The Insider who admitted they would never normally be invited to hand out Globes but this year they were pleased to fill in. Bottom line - this strike needs to end. This was an embarrassment to Hollywood's finest and we hope this helps the writers' strike end faster since we've got Oscars and more coming up in the next few weeks and we want more. Click here to see all the winners - the only one I am overjoyed with is David Duchovny winning for best actor in TV Comedy.
