Netflix's The Power of the Dog and 20th Century Studios' West Side Story were the big winners at the untelevised 2022 Golden Globe Awards ceremony. While the ceremony took place at the Beverly Hilton like it always does, it was not televised nor live streamed, with no audience members, celebrity presenters or press members in attendance on Sunday night. While The Power of the Dog cleaned up on the Drama awards and West Side Story dominated Comedy or Musical, Will Smith won his first Golden Globe for his critically-acclaimed performance in King Richard.  MJ Rodriguez also made Golden Globes history as the first ever trans woman to win a Globe, winning for Best Actress in a TV Series - Drama for FX's Pose. Big winner: Netflix 's The Power of the Dog and 20th Century Stu...

It took three minutes to access the Beverly Hilton driving westbound on Santa Monica Blvd. from Beverly Hills this Sunday. Any other year on Golden Globes night, it would’ve been a nightmare of street closures, clunky shuttle buses, snipers on rooftops, and the reliable gaggle of Westboro Baptist Church protesters promising Hollywood that it will burn in the fires of hell. But this year the valet line at the landmark Los Angeles venue was empty. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association mounted a (comparatively) minuscule show to celebrate the best in film and television with very little fanfare. The pared-down event came as the embattled HFPA saw a talent boycott over a lack of diversity in its membership and some questionable business practices within the notably small voting ...

Bob Saget, the actor-comedian known for his role as beloved single dad Danny Tanner on the sitcom “Full House” and as the wisecracking host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” has died, according to authorities in Florida. He was 65. Deputies in Orange County, Florida, were called Sunday about an “unresponsive man” in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando and found Saget dead, according to a sheriff’s statement on Twitter. Detectives found “no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.” Saget was in Florida as part of his “I Don't Do Negative Comedy Tour.” After warm audience receptions to his gigs Friday in Orlando and Saturday in the Ponte Vedra Beach resort area, he celebrated online. “I’m back in comedy like I was when I was 26. I guess I’m findin...

Live from Twitter and press release blasts, it’s the 2022 Golden Globes! With no livestream or cable broadcast, victory-lapping celebs, cringeworthy host jokes, completely pointless performances, red carpet peacocking or even press, the show — somehow — still went on for the controversy-ridden Globes. Despite a scandal regarding its lack of diversity, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association went forth with announcing winners for the best in TV and film on Sunday, eschewing the normal chaos for a toned-down live announcement — mainly since no network would air the spectacle. That means the very small number of people who typically watch — last year’s ratings were abysmal — were forced to simply imagine Ricky Gervais’ smack talk and A-list cleavage while spending ...
