Last night the Golden Globes kicked off Award Season and
recognized the best of TV and film. Hosted by the hilarious female duo, Tina
Fey and Amy Poehler, the best of the best were awarded last night.
Like all major award shows there’s always some snubs
expected, Such as Leonardo DiCaprio in almost any award show. But luckily one
of the esteemed organizations finally gave Leonardo the praise and recognition
many felt he’s deserved for past years. He won the best actor award for his
amazing performance in the highly acclaimed film, The Wolf of Wall Street…. Now if only he can get the same
recognition from the Academy Awards! Another exciting win was from the host of
the show, Amy Poehler for her role in Parks and Recreation. Perhaps one of the
least impressive wins was from another SNL alum, Andy Samberg. Up against some major names on the TV screen,
Samberg took home the award for Best Actor in the less than amazing comedic
show Brooklyn 99. It seems even he felt a bit undeserving,
which showed through in his acceptance speech.
Typically, the top nominated films at award shows such as
these are ones that fell under the radar or have not even been released yet.
One film in particular, Blue Jasmine,
which was directed by Woody Allen--the night’s lifetime achievement award
recipient-- has yet to be released but it’s leading lady, Cate Blanchett took
home the prize for best actress. Usually I’m one of the millions who are in
wonder about this award winning performance that has yet to be seen, but thanks
to a Jetblue flight home to Orlando I was able to watch the movie. At the time I thought I was watching an older
film but now feel I have bragging rights to finally being apart of a small
percentage who can actually vouch for her award winning performance.
