The Big Picture: Instant Reactions to a Truly Ludicrous Golden Globes | The Oscars Show (Ep. 115) (host)

Loves A Star Is Born, Mark Ronson, and a fun-to-hang actor; ardent about preferential balloting. Can't stand overstated awards punditry and Kevin Hart's handling. Sucker for Queen and Glenn Close moments.

Stances

  • The Globes' winners reflect HFPA flaws
  • Presenting is different from hosting
  • The Academy has no vision

Humor: Dry, deadpan jokes about her husband, her unseen Wife, and singing Shallow.

In their words

  • “I find him so handsome.” (0:25:28)
  • “Glenn Close, I commit to you, I will see the wife.” (0:45:24)

The Rewatchables

Their claims

Showing 501–520 of 520 claims.

  1. craft (craft): Ludwig Goransson → Hans Zimmer. His Black Panther score carries a Hans Zimmer-style propulsive action feel.
    “plus that sort of like sweeping Alan Sylvestri, Hans Zimmer, kind of propulsive feeling that you need in an action movie”
    The Big Picture · Oscars 2019: Instant Reactions to ‘Green Book’ and the Two Warring Academies | The Oscars Show (Ep. 131) · 0:54:52 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)
  2. contrast (contrast): Green Book → BlacKkKlansman. The back-to-back Green Book original screenplay and Spike adapted screenplay wins showed the old/new academy dichotomy.
    “It showed it did show really that dichotomy we were talking about earlier in the show.”
    The Big Picture · Oscars 2019: Instant Reactions to ‘Green Book’ and the Two Warring Academies | The Oscars Show (Ep. 131) · 1:01:56 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)
  3. what-if (what-if): Sam Elliott → Can You Ever Forgive Me?. Too bad for Sam Elliott and Richard E. Grant, who may have lost a final chance to win.
    “it's too bad for Sam Elliott and Richard E. Grant in particular”
    The Big Picture · Oscars 2019: Instant Reactions to ‘Green Book’ and the Two Warring Academies | The Oscars Show (Ep. 131) · 1:03:30 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)
  4. contrast (contrast): Vice → Nixon. Vice might be forgotten like Oliver Stone's twin portraits Nixon and W.
    “I don't think anybody really talks about Oliver Stone's kind of twin portraits.”
    The Big Picture · Oscars 2019: Instant Reactions to ‘Green Book’ and the Two Warring Academies | The Oscars Show (Ep. 131) · 1:10:47 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)
  5. contrast (contrast): The Favourite → The Killing of a Sacred Deer. The Favourite is in keeping with The Lobster but different from The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
    “It is in keeping with the lobster, but it's like way different than a killing of a sacred deer.”
    The Big Picture · Oscars 2019: Instant Reactions to ‘Green Book’ and the Two Warring Academies | The Oscars Show (Ep. 131) · 1:13:26 · Amanda Dobbins (0.40 sure it was them)
  6. contrast (contrast): Green Book → Three Billboards. The Green Book win is this year's Three Billboards: a flawed, problematic movie critics must tangle with for months.
    “I just didn't want another movie that, from a purely professional editorial perspective, you and I were just going to have to tangle with for 2 months”

  7. people (people): Bohemian Rhapsody → Bryan Singer. The film's winner status ignores that Singer, now a pariah, shot about 60% of it.
    “There's no mention of Brian Singer, during this telecast, he filmed approximately 60% of this film.”
    The Big Picture · Instant Reactions to a Truly Ludicrous Golden Globes | The Oscars Show (Ep. 115) · 0:13:48 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  8. industry (industry): Bohemian Rhapsody → Graham King. Producer Graham King fought for years, got a real budget, a big director and the right star, a good story for the studio system.
    “he got it done at a studio with a real budget and they did it big.”
    The Big Picture · Instant Reactions to a Truly Ludicrous Golden Globes | The Oscars Show (Ep. 115) · 0:15:33 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  9. industry (industry): Bohemian Rhapsody → First Man. Bohemian Rhapsody on the PGA list comes at the expense of films like First Man, which is gone.
    “Like 1st man is gone.”
    The Big Picture · Instant Reactions to a Truly Ludicrous Golden Globes | The Oscars Show (Ep. 115) · 0:16:00 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  10. industry (industry): Beasts of the Southern Wild → If Beale Street Could Talk. The Academy sometimes goes where the PGA does not, as with Beasts of the Southern Wild, so Beale Street could still make it.
    “sometimes you have Bisa of the Southern Wild, which is like not on the PJs radar.”
    The Big Picture · Instant Reactions to a Truly Ludicrous Golden Globes | The Oscars Show (Ep. 115) · 0:16:45 · Amanda Dobbins (0.45 sure it was them)

  13. people (people): A Star Is Born → Lady Gaga. The Star Is Born campaign looks shaky after neither Gaga nor Cooper won and Mark Ronson accepted the song award.
    “for neither Gaga nor Cooper to win actor, and of course not to win best drama”
    The Big Picture · Instant Reactions to a Truly Ludicrous Golden Globes | The Oscars Show (Ep. 115) · 0:28:21 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)
  14. theme (theme): A Star Is Born → Green Book. All three films share a polished, studio, historically Hollywood approach; Star has more grit and anxiety.

  15. verdict (verdict): Olivia Colman → Glenn Close. Colman's loose speech made her seem the winner, then Close's speech made Close the winner.
    “I watched that speech and I was like, oh, great, okay, Olivia Coleman's going to win.”

  16. verdict (verdict): Vice → Christian Bale. Vice went one for six, and the performance is the one thing everyone likes.
    “Out of 6 nominations, I believe, the most of any film tonight.”

  17. what-if (what-if): Vice → Amy Adams. If Bale and Adams had won, Vice would have gained renewed momentum.

  18. programming (programming): The Kominsky Method → The Americans. The TV winners were Kominsky, The Americans and Versace; the Globes were early on streaming shows like Atlanta.
