My Exciting Live-Tweeting of the Boring 69th Golden Globe Awards

It was the most boring Golden Globes telecast I've ever seen, and I say that as one who remembers those disastrous 65th Golden Globe Awards from 2008, in which the awards were announced at a "press conference" instead of on an actual show. But at least that horrorshow was short and to the point. This one--the 69th Golden Globes--was so boring, so dreadfully BORING, that it was redeemed only by a handful of pleasant and surprising wins. To borrow a completely unrelated quote from Roger Ebert, "Some great winners, a nice distribution of awards, but the show? Dead. In. The. Water."
Gervais simply didn't do anything. Granted, I missed his entire opening gig (it took me a whole fucking hour to find a television on my college campus that was actually airing the show), but people have told me it wasn't as radical as his opening gig from last year. You will remember at last year's show (the 68th Golden Globes), Gervais was so unrelentingly nasty ("Ashton Kutcher's dad, Bruce Willis!") that he actually managed to provoke a response from his fans and critics; Matt Zoller Seitz dubbed it "the Golden Globes of hatred."

Honestly, as uncomfortable as last year's show was, at least it was brilliant television. At least it had an attitude, as bitter as it may have been. This time Gervais just seemed to be on a leash. Either that, or it was entirely his decision to go easier this time. In his recent interview with Matt Lauer, Gervais indicated he accepted the offer to host the Globes a third time so that he could prove a point; to demonstrate to his critics he wasn't afraid of doing it one more time.

So... was that the only reason he was there? To just, you know... be there?

I mean, I guess a few of his jokes were decent. I liked his whole diss of Madonna as still being "like a virgin," and Madonna's comeback was unexpected gold: "Why don't you come over here and doing something about it? It's been awhile since I last kissed a girl." His later diss of Natalie Portman as making the mistake of "putting her children before her career" had some of the same enticing venom to it, although Portman, unlike Madonna, didn't make a comeback.

The jokes were simply too far and few between. Gervais would diappear for long periods of time, and you'd wonder, What happened to him? As Lou Lumenick complained via Twitter, "Free Ricky Gervais!"

So, for me at least, there was only one thing saving the show: the winners. Scorsese winning Best Director for Hugo was one of those big WTF moments that you secretly pray will happen, but which only happens 99.9% of the time in the history of award shows.

Spielberg winning Best Animated Film for The Adventures of Tintin was a joyous moment, too, since everybody thought Rango might be the spoiler in that category (Spielberg spent so much time thanking the filmmakers who worked on the film that he almost forgot to thank his wife, Willie Scott herself, Kate Chapsaw; the kiss he blew to her at the last moment was priceless).

As for The Descendants winning Best Drama, although I obviously would have preferred a War Horse win, I liked The Descendants all the same, and seeing Alexander Payne win his first Globe since Sideways was a nice tough. If the Oscar race is, as they truly say, going to be a horse race between The Artist and The Descendants, I'll be rooting for the latter. Though I do hope War Horse gets a Best Picture nomination of its own...

All in all, good winners, lousy show. We still have Billy Crystal to look forward to at the Oscars, so I have high hopes for that. But as my Twitter feed below indicates, this year's Golden Globes was a depressing exercise indeed.

Sorry, I don't think a #goldenglobe win is going to sell TINTIN to the animation branch for #oscars
Adam Charles Zanzie @adamzanzie Reply Delete Favorite · Close
@LouLumenick That's what I'm afraid of. I hope it does, though. The only spoiler might be "Rango".
