The Golden Globes go to ...
The crows have ayes
By Karl Quinn
Judging by the cheers, Catherine O’Hara is a very popular winner. There’s a weird background noise as she thanks the Levy family for creating a role in which she got to “wear a hundred wigs and speak like an alien”, but the noise just keeps getting louder, and eventually it becomes obvious that it’s the phone in the hand of Bo Welch, her production designer husband. Well, it’s obvious to everyone but him. “Seriously,” she says, scowling at him. He’s oblivious. She talks louder, and eventually starts singing her speech. Still he has no idea what’s going on. The crows have eyes, but the husband has no ears. Hilarious.
How can you even pick a winner in this field?
By Karl Quinn
As is often the way, the best actress category makes for one of the strongest fields of this event. And that means those of a parochial bent are in for disappointment today because the only Australians nominated are perennial awards contenders Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman – and they’re both up for the same category, best actress in a limited series.
Blanchett is up for Mrs America, the period feminist drama in which she plays conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly. It’s her 11th nomination (she’s won three times previously), and if the strength of the performance is any indication she’s a strong contender.
Kidman is up for The Undoing, in which she plays a po-faced psychotherapist whose husband (Hugh Grant) may or may not be a murderer. It’s her 14th nomination – the first coming way back in 1992 for Billy Bathgate – and if she wins (frankly, I think it’s a long shot) it would be the fifth time.
This is a seriously strong field though, with all three other nominees having a good claim to the Globe. Anya Taylor-Joy for The Queen’s Gambit would make for a very popular choice, but I’m going to suggest Shira Haas might sneak this for her superb performance in Unorthodox, in which she plays a woman who flees her strict Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn to pursue her musical dream in Berlin (as you do). That said, Daisy Edgar-Jones is terrific in Normal People too.
OMG, it’s just so hard to pick. Who do you think should win this one? And who do you think actually will?

Daniel Kaluuya wins best supporting actor for his lead role in Judas and the Black Messiah, in which so much of the performance revolves around the passionate public speaking of Black Panther Fred Hampton. And his microphone isn’t working! Presenter Laura Dern makes her apologies, congratulates him, leaves the stage ... and then Daniel’s microphone IS working! It’s crazy, but we’ve all been there, right?

Oh, Emily. We love you, really
By Karl Quinn
Early contender for zinger of the night. “Emily in Paris is nominated for best TV series musical or comedy, and I for one can’t wait to find out which it is,” says Fey. And Music is up for “best international flopperoonie”, she adds.
“Look, a lot of flashy garbage got nominated,” says Poehler. Awards shows are “all a scam invented by Big Red Carpet”, she confides. “To sell more carpet,” adds Fey.
Seriously, I love these two.
“You’re on mute”
On top of several jokes about the lack of black members in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and how they overlooked a batch of deserving black-led productions at Golden Globes this year, the first two awards have gone to two black British actors: Daniel Kaluuya for Judas and the Black Messiah (who was still on mute for his first attempt at a speech) and John Boyega for Small Axe. Will it be enough to restore the somewhat tarnished reputation of the association? The early announcement of a $US2 million donation for COVID-19 relief was a gesture towards that end, no doubt. L

John Boyega picks up a Golden Globe
The category for best performance by an actor in a television supporting role was a tough one, but the award ultimately went to a very shocked John Boyega.
John Boyega, Small Axe
Brendan Gleeson, The Comey Rule
Daniel Levy, Schitt’s Creek
Jim Parsons, Hollywood
Donald Sutherland, The Undoing
Winner: John Boyega, Small Axe
And here’s Tina Fey ... and there’s Amy Poehler. Together, only not
By Karl Quinn
A lovely sight gag to kick things off, as hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler try to convince us that we’d never know they were co-presenting from opposite coasts (Fey in New York, Poehler in LA). Fey puts her left arm out across the split screen, and an arm – clearly not her – strokes Poehler’s hair.
Here comes the first dig at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association - which comprises “around 90 international no-black journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search of a better life”. And we’re off.

They’re offering a handy guide to the distinction between movies and TV, a distinction that for many of us has become a little blurry recently. “TV is the one I watch five hours straight, but a movie is the one I don’t watch because they go for two hours,” says Poehler. “I want to watch TV for one hour, five times straight.”
Fey: “If their fake teeth look real it’s a movie, if their real teeth look fake that’s TV.”
“If it stars Matthew McConaughey as a poetic drifter,” adds Poehler. “That’s a car commercial.”
