Recap Of The 2016 Golden Globes

As much as I would like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Golden Globes this year, I unfortunately cannot. This award show was tedious, weird, and dull. Ricky Gervais hosted the show again and that is probably the first reason that we all wanted to turn it off so bad.

I'm a fanatic for awards season. I watch the pre-red carpet showing, the actual red carpet event, the Award Show, and the after parties. As a dedicated fan of award shows and movies in general, I was disappointed. Gervais' jokes were disappointing, the red carpet looks were disappointing, and even some of the winners were disappointing. It was, overall, the most boring award show that I've ever seen, and I've seen my fair share. But, to make sure that you keep reading this article, I will highlight the few funny moments that occurred on Sunday night.

1. Jaimie Alexander awkwardly presented the award for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television by reacting to a glitching teleprompter and saying, "Whose typing this sh*t?"

2. Leonardo DiCaprio winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor was definitely my highlight of the night. Does this mean that he's on his way to finally winning that Oscar that he so desperately wants? We're crossing our fingers for him. We also loved seeing him reunite with his long-time friend, Kate Winslet. The two have been Hollywood's favorite off-screen friendship since they became best friends on the set of "Titanic."

3. DiCaprio's face as Lady Gaga bumped his arm while walking to the stage (and completely disregarding that she bumped his arm off of his chair) was hilarious. It's probably just as funny as the famous strutting DiCaprio meme. The moral of the story here is that we had DiCaprio to remind us why we were still watching the Golden Globes.

4. We had a typical Jennifer Lawrence (J. Law) and Amy Schumer (A. Schu) presentation that made us all laugh, as usual. Although, I'm sure that Schumer is secretly annoyed that Lawrence snagged the award from her in their category later that night.

5. Our favorite dynamic duo, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, presented the first award of the night in a ridiculous, but hilarious way. Hill dressed as the bear that attacks DiCaprio in "The Revenant" and thanked the director of the film, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, for taking a chance on him--an unknown bear.

6. Rachel Bloom's crazy excitement when she actually won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Comedy or Musical for her role in the CW's (which we didn't even know still existed) "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" had us just as excited.

7. Kate Winslet's surprising win not only made her overwhelmed with joy, but also made us overwhelmed with joy. Being the incredible actor that she is, the fact that she still remains humble makes her even more admirable than she was before, which was already hard to top. She even started her 20 second speech with: "Is this really happening?" C'mon Kate, you know that we're not in the least bit shocked.

8. Jamie Foxx took a dig at Steve Harvey, given his now-famous flub at last month's Miss Universe pageant. He announced that the honor of Best Original Score went to "Straight Outta Compton," despite the fact that it obviously wasn't nominated. Foxx then joked, "Sorry folks, I made a mistake. It's right here on the card." He then proceeded to announce the real winner, Ennio Morricone for "The Hateful Eight."

9. America Ferrara and Eva Longoria poked fun at the confusion between them and the other Latino women in the entertainment industry--Eva Mendes, Gina Rodriguez, Rosario Dawson, and Salma Hayek.

10. More than 40 years into his career, Sylvester Stallone finally won his first Golden Globe at Sunday night's ceremony. He was honored for "Creed," rewarded by the HFPA for his reprising role as Rocky Balboa, earned a standing ovation, and even thanked the imaginary Rocky Balboa for being the "best friend he's ever had."

Finally, whether you thought actors or actresses were snubbed at the ceremony, here is a full list of the winners from the 2016 Golden Globes:

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
