The Golden Globes prides itself on being a rollicking bash and unpredictable live TV.
It didnt even seem in the mood to shine.
(The hottest fashion look for men?
Revenant grief beards.)
I was rooting for Fallon to succeed and thought he could.
The Golden Globes and Fallon are made for each other, on a spiritual level, at least.
Both aspire to unpretentious, good-time entertainment.
But Fallon wasnt just unfunny, he was bad at being Jimmy Fallon.
He vamped poorly during his monologue when the teleprompter broke a shocking fail given his profession.
He dug his hole deeper with a risky impression of Chris Rock doing a riff onThe People vs. O.J.
(Although I wasnt a huge admirer of his Oscar hosting last year.)
mood of the room.
Like most Globes hosts, Fallon faded away as the evening progressed.
She is an observer and a thief, said Davis.
She waits to share what she has stolen on that sacred place, the screen.
She makes the most heroic characters vulnerable; the most known, familiar; the most despised, relatable.
Your impact encouraged me to stay in the line.
Dame Streep, I see you.
Streep always extraordinary at accepting awards gave a speech that saw all of us and inspired everyone.
She, too, grieved Trumps election.
Streeps remarks erred with grandiosity and erred with a whiff of smugness.
(YOURE WRONG ON FOOTBALL, MERYL, JUST WRONG.)
(But Im with you on MMA.)
But her points were clear and correct.
Streeps words also helped to frame the narrative of the entire show.
They also acknowledged and celebrated diversity.Moonlightwon best picture, drama.
The film is now officially this years Really Good Movie That Suddenly Becomes Worst!
Just Because It Wins Too Many Awards at the Expense of Other Worthy Things.
(Last year, it wasThe Revenant.)
But dont worry,La La Land.
I wont hold the Globes against you.
