Meryl Streep has proven beyond any reasonable doubt tonight, as Mary Louise Parker stated in her AFI tribute, that she is an alien. No human being can be this perfect. I will be watching her speech on loop for the next four years.

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJeff

I fail to see how this makes Huppert a "lock" for an Oscar nomination. This is the HFPA, of course they would give it to her. AMPAS is another beast.

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJonathan

Meryl Streep delivered the best speech again. She competes with herself. And she somehow always gets away with it. Even when her voice is not working well, she's the best singer in the house. WHAT A WOMAN!!!

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterYavor

I think Emma Stone won the Oscar tonight. La La Land is headed for a sweep. As for Huppert, no one has ever won Best Actress without a SAG nod - and Elle will be a bridge too far for Oscar voters.

But we will see!

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterSuzanne

My small glimmer of hope that Denzel takes the Oscar: the fact that he was randomly shouted out twice tonight, including by Affleck. There's still a lot of respect for him from his colleagues.

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterTroy H.

I think after tonight Adams, Negga and Bening may be fighting for that last spot.

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJamie

Huppert's speech was a little awkward but it was cute how excited she was. Congrats to her fans!

I don't think La La Land should sweep. It probably will but I hope not. I feel like it's the nominee everyone's going to look back on in five years and say was popular but undeserving. Moonlight, Jackie, etc, were all better movies and were more deserving of, say, a screenwriting award than LLL.

I'm also not wild about how any criticism of a popular movie is couched as backlash to the popularity. There's a lot working against LLL, imo. Unimpressive singing in a movie about two pretty white people forever STRUGGLING to be famous in Hollywood and how much of a struggle it all is blah blah let me explain jazz to you ineffectively and obnoxiously.

Casey Affleck is gross and looked unwashed.

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterSam

It's a freaking homage to Golden Age Hollywood. Of course it's about white people singing and struggling and culturally appropriating music.

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJonathan

ISABELLE!!!

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterRoger

Huppert's win helps Stone by hurting Portman. It doesn't mean Huppert suddenly has a shot at winning the Oscar. It means she's gotten a helpful last-minute boost for a nomination.

Portman needed the optics of being neck-and-neck with Stone, and she lost that tonight. Now she's in a comfortable Carol Aird position, coasting as an easy (but nonthreatening) prestige lock. Portman can't reenter the "win" conversation unless she wins the SAG or the BAFTA, and even then...

I still think it's Stone and Portman out front with Huppert next (being generous) then some combination of Adams, Negga, Bening and Streep. And guessing the final two is a fool's errand...anyone who gets it right will just be lucky.

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterHayden W.

Meryl Streep began her acceptance of the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award by saying that she'd lost her voice. And then, eloquently, brilliantly and indispensably proceeded to prove that she - and we - had not.

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJosh R

Meryl just opened up a major can of whoop-ass on our next President. She's our Stone Cold Steve Austin. She just told our next POTUS to kiss her ass as she then gave him a Streep-Cold Stunner!

January 8, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterSteven

Not only did Meryl not lose her voice, she said she was going to have to read her speech...and then proceeded to deliver a stemwinder without hardly ever glancing at her notes.

YAAS QUEEN.

(On the shallow: I'm a straight female, but daaaamn Brie Larson looked luscious in that red dress.)

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered Commenterlylee

Did I actually twice hear people nominated for "Hidden Fences"? Once during the Red Carpet thing (by Jenna somebody) and once during the actual awards?

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterRJL

As much as I am rooting for Portman (I am), I don't think she is going to win the oscar. In addition to having already won, she has way too much working against her.

> Unlike Stone, she is not all that well liked. Portman is the opposite of a bubbly open person who will charm an interviewer or room. She is considered more thoughtful and introverted.
> Related to the above, shes a great actress but she is not a great celebrity
> Unlike Huppert, Bening or even Adams, she doesn't get the respect. She doesn't have that super talented actress reputation and there are still large groups of people who consider her untalented and credit her terrific performances entirely to her directors.

With Huppert sweeping the critics AND taking the globe, I think she is now a serious threat for the win. Voters will HAVE to watch that film now and I hope she wins. I'd say Stone is still #1, Huppert #2 and Portman #3.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterAnonny

Lylee -
Yeah, Brie sure looked hot tonight - normally she's not prettiest girl in the world, but tonight she was a knock out!
If only she would relax a little bit - she takes herself a little too seriously sometimes, I think.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterUlrich

@Anonny

Er, no. Foreign language performances are always a hard sell for the AMPAS. It took 50 years for a second foreign language performer to win Best Actress, and she won it in her late 20s for a broad, actorly, over-the-top biopic of a musical legend.

La Vie En Rose was not a Vehoeven rape dramedy starring a 60-year-old and Cotillard's main competition was not a beloved starlet at the peak of her popularity, in a Best Picture frontrunner. Plus, Cotillard managed a SAG nomination and won the BAFTA, which Huppert may, but who knows.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterHayden W.

Sam LLL To me is about 2 people struggling for a chance to do the thing they they love above all else, not about thrum wanting to be famous .

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterRami

Omg Huppert really happens!!!! Yes Yes Yes!!! Luv u hfpa!!! But err wtf happened to best supp actor???!!!

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterClaran

Hayden - Huppert won't win the BAFTA unfortunately. From my understanding, she isn't eligible.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPhilip H.

So...judging by this thread...and taking nothing away from her work in Florence Foster Jenkins...aren't you tempted to wonder if Meryl could get another nomination just on the basis of what she did tonight? I am not implying (and nor do I believe) that this was part of any calculated attempt to bolster her chances, because (a) she doesn't need the nomination any more than The Gobi Desert needs another grain of sand and (b) as brilliant an actress as she is, she couldn't have faked that. It was genuine, and it was from the heart. But...as long as we are making predictions here...let's no pretend this couldn't have had any impact whatsoever on a highly competitive, highly unsettled Best Actress race.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJosh R

Yes, Michael Keaton hilariously said "Hidden Fences." Apparently he was mocking a reporter from earlier? I'm not really sure.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJonathan

Michael Keaton might have lost the Oscar for Birdman but it's a major Hollywood promotion that he can present Supporting Actress without being a nominee OR a return winner. Amazing what his career has done in the last few years.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterHayden W.

@Sam: Agree! The small minority of dissent for LLL being labeled a "backlash" is so petty, it's wildly acclaimed by most critics and audiences, and yet any valid critiques are being pushed aside as "crabby" or "disaffected". It's not a flawless film by any means, and there are more deserving films and performances to revere this year than a self-congratulating Hollywood pastiche about two people following their dreams and having only a 80% perfect life because they cant have each other too.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJohn

It is worth noting that Huppert is the first person to win Golden Globe Best Actress in Drama for a foreign language performance.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterLuke

"It is worth noting that Huppert is the first person to win Golden Globe Best Actress in Drama for a foreign language performance."

Anouk Aimee got the same award for A Man and a Woman. Which was dubbed into English in a lot of locations where it screened in the States, but still.

Absolute kudos for Huppert!

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterScott

Luke, where are Liv Ullmann (The Emigrants) and Annouk Aimée (A Man and a Woman) on your list. Isabelle is the sixth actor and fourth female actor. The others are Alberto Soldi (The Devil), Marcello Mastroianni (Divorce Italian-Style) and Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose).

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered Commenterleon

I truly marvel at Meryl not making a speech all about herself (as compared to many who had received this award) but unleashing her own social and political convictions. What a distinguished artiste:) RESPECT.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJans

Josh R- I honestly do not think the 20th Oscar nomination possibility was in her mind or heart after this weekend. But if you think it was for "good PR" then that is your opinion.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJamie

I don't know why everyone is so adamant that Huppert can't win just because she wasn't nominated by the vanilla SAG committee. Did you see the amount of respect she commanded in that room? She is firmly in the hunt. I still say Emma Stone is the front runner, but this is a weird year (my god wth is going to happen to supporting actor?), and I still think Huppert and Portman are strong spoilers.

The backlash toward La La Land is disheartening, as I think it's a delightful film with two sparkly lead performances. No, it didn't deserve a sweep (certainly not screenplay, which I think it will ultimately lose at the Oscars to Manchester), but it's a very worthy best picture contender. 10000x more original and deserving than Argo, The King's Speech and Birdman IMO.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterAaron

I still think that Portman will win the oscar,Stone can win every award unless Portman is in the same category,Stone won because she wasn't in the drama category and we all know that huppert will not get the oscar rigth? She probably didn't get the nomination either,this award was a tribute that the hfpa made for her

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterMatt

This golden globe SHOOK me..
Whatthehell a win for that hunky ass guy who is not even the best supporting actor in the film
ISABELLE HUPPERT BITCHES!!
La la land sweep is WOW
TV winners are mostly great, though I don't see goliath or atlanta. But YES to The Crown and Claire Foy! Shame no win for the divine JLD yet again.

MERYL STREEP IS THE QUEEN OF US ALL!!!

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterCraver

Aaron - great. Huppert - the same. I haven't seen MOONLIGHT and MANCHESTER BY THE SEA (yet) but the rest of the awards (ELLE beating TONI ERDMANN, ZOOTOPIA beating KUBO and MY LIFE AS A ZUCCHINI, LA LA LAND winning 7 Globes while only two of them [directing and score] were understandable) was awful. Award for Gosling - probably the worst ever.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterSomeone

First time Meryl Streep made me emotional with a speech of hers.

Glad Huppert and Davis are finally Golden Globe winners.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered Commenter/3rtful

Jamie - I'm re-posting a portion of my original comment so you can read it again.

I am not implying (and nor do I believe) that this was part of any calculated attempt to bolster her chances, because (a) she doesn't need the nomination any more than The Gobi Desert needs another grain of sand and (b) as brilliant an actress as she is, she couldn't have faked that. It was genuine, and it was from the heart.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJosh R

There is no backlash.
(Echoing Sam and John above.)

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPaul Outlaw

^of course there is. It is brewing - and there will a lot more of it come february when the movie sweeps the Oscars.
And in a few years, it will be looked back upon as a slight, charming movie,
but lightweight compared to other Oscar-heavies.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterUlrich

Kristin Wiig & Steve Carrell's bit was genuinely, laugh-out-loud funny. That's how you do Award Show comedy, folks.

Meryl's speech was denounced by Sean Hannity and his ilk so you *know* it was very effective. What a bunch of sensitive snowflakes on the right, huh? (snicker) She was great, what a class act.

I echo what someone said above: Brie Larsen looked gorgeous in her red gown. Just beautiful. Judging from the look on her face, she def did not want to be in Casey Affleck's presence.

I don't want La La Land to get *quite* so many awards. We'll just have to see, won't we. Moonlight winning at the end was a nice, happy ending.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterRob

Josh R. - Apologies. Super sensitive last night.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJamie

Brilliant speeches in the last 7 days by Michelle Obama, Tracee Ellis Ross, Viola Davis, and Meryl fucking Streep. All made me cry. Wish I could add some tweets by Carrie Fisher as the cherry on top.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPam

I am personally torn on the Oscar race, now...

"Manchester by the Sea" might be too low key, specially after "Spotlight" last year.
"Moonlight", too african-american and too gay for the AMPAS average voter.
"La La Land"... I don't know, something tells me it does NOT have what is needed.

... so I am inclined to think "Silence", "Jackie" or some other more "Oscary" film might upset at the big night.

Oh, and Emma Stone can already write her acceptance speech, I find the acting winners, are all locked up, at this point... Ali, Stone, Davis and Affleck.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterJesus Alonso

I think La La Land is the lock and I don't think the backlash will be as big as people expect mostly because the movie and the stars are so enjoyable.

Moonlight still has a chance but what goes against it is the relative lack of fame of its major players. Barry Jenkins is a new name for a lot of Hollywood (Chazelle had already entered the door with Whiplash). Also the actors are not relatively famous. However people need to stop saying it's too gay for the academy. It has in no way played up the gay angle because it has mostly been marketed as a film about the African American experience. And a lot of this has to do with the fact that none of the actors or the director are gay themselves. Take a movie like Carol for example. This was a movie about two lesbians made by arguably the director with the gayest touch in the business. That was a gay movie that was too gay for the academy. Moonlight may just be too small for the academy.

And Manchester by the Sea - my favorite of the three - may have to settle with best actor and maybe best screenplay.

My favorite moment of yesterday's show was Wiig and Carrell. Wiig can be credited to some of the funniest moments in any award show. She needs to start getting her dues because she is a major major entertainer and she looked gorgeous!

My least favorite moment(s) was all the man love as comedy. Ryan Gosling is a bagillion time sexier and more appealing than Ryan Reynolds (and also funnier) without having to resort to these tacky methods.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterTony T

Queen Meryl slayed w tt best acceptance speech o the night!! N I believe after tonight all her fellow peers n actors will def nom her.

Huppert's win means tt those voters who haven seen Elle is gonna watch it now n be blown away by it. So her chance o a nom shld b quite secure

So After tonight, i believe Stone, Huppert, Portman n Meryl r in, w Adams n Bening jostling for tt 5th spot.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterClaran

I feel like we haven't talked enough about Tom Hiddleston's weird acceptance speech. What was that?

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterSuzanne

Suzanne - I'm sure he meant well, but it was way too self-congratulatory for my taste. The silence in the room was deafening; you could almost see the thought bubbles over the audience's head in a collective "WTF?"

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterMDA

Ulrich: On Affleck, I'm in the position of "until he's caught doing something similar or worse while NOT in production on something like I'm Still Here, we should JUST slap a big fine on him ($500,000 to $1 million) for now". I'd say the same thing about a woman or a black guy with similar accusations tied to a similar movie. Because, sorry, as subtle and "toothless" as that seems, it's hard to justify jail time due to that extenuating circumstance, even if it should still cause SOME punishment.

January 9, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterVolvagia

Jamie - no worries. We're ALL super sensitive about the sad state of things right now!
