The Golden Globes Amid a Collapsing Empire
Tonight will be a make or break moment for the Globes, and maybe Hollywood
For those who don’t know about it, I have a separate site called Hollywood Woketopia, if you are interested. This is today’s post:
All eyes are on Barbie to save the Golden Globes tonight when their beleaguered ceremony rolls out at long last on CBS. To get there, they would have to add 200 new members who were intersectional enough to satisfy the activists who had scolded them and shamed them out of business for being “racists” just a few years ago.
They would have to be bought by Jay Penske, who also owns the Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Deadline, Indiewire, and Gold Derby. They would have to put out bylaws and rules to ensure they would be fair and equitable. And now, they will be able to host their show and have some high-profile celebrities in attendance.
Gone are the days when Ricky Gervais laid waste to the ruling class with jokes that mocked them, exposed their hypocrisy, and were fearlessly funny. Remember funny?
The only "Globe" I care about is the one they're trying to destroy
"All eyes are on Barbie to save the Golden Globes."
I get it's Sasha beat, so I'm not criticizing her for this topic at all.
Just reading that line at the beginning made me (not) literally throw up in my mouth. I'm so tired about talk of movies that "saved" cinema during CoV and until this day. And now Barbie (aka unwatchable movies spoonfeeding liberal mush into unformed brains) and Taylor Swift are combining to save the world of entertainment and, with it, the back slapping circle jerk of these unwatchable
awards shows.
Just put on a film with Harlow & Gable, or Lombard, or Stanwyck or Jimmy Stewart, or a Kirk Douglas noir anything but the rot coming from Hollywood today.
