2012 Golden Globe Awards: Winners List

Anthony Ocasio — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:31:09 +0000

A relatively subdued Ricky Gervais took the stage as host of the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards. In his second year as host, it appears that all of last year’s controversy surrounding Gervais’ hosting must have impacted the funnyman, as all of his jabs appeared a little too nice compared to what was said last year.

For much of the evening, Michael Hazanavicius’ black-and-white silent film homage, The Artist, swept the Golden Globes in the comedy category, coming out on top overall with three wins for Best Original Score, Best Actor and Best Picture. Over on the drama side, Alexander Payne’s The Descendants took home the most awards in the drama category with a Best Actor win for George Clooney and Best Picture.

Other notable wins in the film category were Meryl ...

2012 Golden Globe Nominations Announced

Sandy Schaefer — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:58:07 +0000

Much-ballyhooed (in a good and bad way) comedian Ricky Gervais will be back to host the Annual Golden Globes Ceremony for a third time in 2012, when the 69th annual iteration of the event takes place.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has officially announced its nominations for the 2012 Golden Globes show – and, just like any year, there are many obvious selections, a few surprises, and more than a handful of choices that are bound to rub moviegoers of all shades the wrong (or, in some cases, the right) way.

Filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius’ black-and-white silent film homage, The Artist, led the way with six Globe nods total; co-writer/helmer Alexander Payne’s The Descendants and director Tate Taylor’s The Help were close behind. That heavily-praised dramedy and popular literary adaptation (respectively) managed to snag five nominations each, putting them one ahead ...

2011 Golden Globe Award Winners

Anthony Ocasio — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 00:11:15 +0000

For 68 years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been celebrating their favorites in film and television with the Golden Globe Awards.

Once again, the multifaceted and generally hilarious Ricky Gervais will be serving as host of tonight’s gala. While those in attendance will be filled with anticipation about whether or not they will take home the award in their chosen category, viewers at home will be anxiously waiting to see how far Gervais will push the comedic envelope with his monologue and numerous ad-libs throughout the night.

With 25 separate categories having to fit within tonight’s given time slot, something tells me that Gervais will be moving things along at a swift pace – all while sipping from his iconic glass a beer that always remains not-so-hidden beneath his podium.

Gervais was scathingly blunt as usual ...

2011 Golden Globe Nominations Announced

Sandy Schaefer — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 17:27:11 +0000

Celebrities Josh Duhamel, Katie Holmes, and Blair Underwood dragged themselves from the comfort of their beds early this morning to announce the nominations for this year’s other big cinematic awards, the Golden Globes.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has unveiled its nominations for the 68th annual Golden Globes and, like any year’s crop of nominees, there are a few surprise choices, some unexpected snubs, and a number of highly anticipated selections.

Leading the movie pack with seven nominations is the period drama The King’s Speech, which began to garner serious awards buzz back when it toured the festival circuit this past fall. David Fincher’s The Social Network has already snagged a handful of critic’s choice awards and secured six Gold Globe nods, matching that of this month’s true-life boxing drama, The Fighter. Indie breakout hits ...

Anthony Ocasio — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 21:03:11 +0000

Today, loveable comedian Ricky Gervais took park in a conference call to promote The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards. While many of questions dealt with The Golden Globes, Gervais’ amazing career and Karl Pilkington, the eccentric comedic genius did reveal some upcoming projects he has in the pipeline.

Most recently, Gervais noted that he had just finished filming and is currently editing a special with Louis C.K., Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld for an eventual television special in the same tone as his previous Ricky Meets… series.

While no anticipated airdate or network location was revealed, Gervais did say that the special consisted of him sitting down with the other famous comedians to discuss what their first jokes were, what their approach is to comedy and just general thoughts about the hilarious occupation.

In total, the ...

NBC Reenlists Ricky Gervais to Host Next Golden Globes

Scott Miller — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:51:42 +0000

NBC has announced that Ricky Gervais will host the Golden Globe Awards for the second straight year in early 2011.

For those keeping track at home, this will be the 68th Annual Golden Globes. It’s generally the third most-watched awards show of the year, behind the Oscars and Grammys. No doubt NBC is trying to claw its way closer to the top by once again employing the services of internationally-known jokester, Gervais.

Here’s what Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming, NBC and Universal Media Studios (how ’bout that for a job title?) had to say about Gervais returning to host the next Golden Globes:

“As viewers discovered with our last awards telecast, Ricky’s surprising and unpredictable humor is a great fit for the Globes which will continue as a live event across the nation… He’s a true force of ...

2010 Golden Globe Award Winners

Ross Miller — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:05:00 +0000

I’m sure if you’re at all interested in which movies win what at each of the big award ceremonies, you caught the 67 Annual Golden Globe Awards last night on NBC. It was a fun show (as the Globes usually are compared to the Oscars), with some predictable/expected winners and some pretty major shocks.

Rickey Gervais was an absolute hoot as the host, jabbing in and out with often controversial but almost always funny gags which ranged from a Mel Gibson drinking joke (“I like a drink as much as the next man. Unless the next man is Mel Gibson.”) to one about Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler (“It’s Rachel from Friends and that bloke out of 300.”). Great stuff from a great host choice.

I won’t waste any time just now giving my thoughts on who I think should have won ...

SR Live Coverage: The Golden Globe Awards

Anthony Ocasio — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:03:03 +0000

With the award season in full swing, we at Screen Rant figured that maybe we should be covering these prestigious events because who knows, Mariah Carey could get up and say something crazy at one of these things OR Mariah Carey could get up and say something crazy at two of these things.

In case of such events, the general consensus is that we need someone around to provide hilarious, informative and cute/endearing commentary as well as someone that you, the reader, can yell at when you don’t agree with something we say.

So, join us back here at 8PM (EST) and we’ll kick things off as the always wonderful Ricky Gervais hosts the 2010 Golden Globe Awards.

2010 Golden Globe Nominations Announced

Ross Miller — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:19:30 +0000

The folks over at Cinematical were good enough to be up early this December morning to update folks in real-time with the 67th Annual Golden Globe nominations. Things are officially gearing up to the Awards season early next year, all leading up to the “big ones” – the Oscars. The Golden Globes are arguably the second-biggest awards out there, and we have this year’s nominations right here.

I’d say for the most part that the nominations are quite predictable. Not that that’s a bad thing – if it’s clear to all what the best movies, performances, scores etc are, then it should result in them getting nominated (that’s the way it SHOULD work, anyway – hey-oh! ). Before I get to some of my thoughts on who’s been nominated, check out ...

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: November 1st, 2009

Niall Browne — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:27:38 +0000

This week:

The box office says This Is It; The Tourist finally gets its bags packed; Billy Bob Thornton and Dwayne Johnson go Faster; Ricky Gervais hosts The Golden Globes and DeNiro and Stiller are hanging out with the Little Fockers.

Box Office

Michael Jackson’s This Is It topped the box office over the Halloween weekend with an estimated $21 million. The concert film has made $32 million in the US in the five days since it opened. It’s an okay start for the movie, but not the huge debut that Sony was hoping for. It’s doing twice as well overseas and has brought in about $100MM worldwide so far.

Paranormal Activity scared-up another $16.5 million over the spooky weekend giving the $11, 000 budgeted film a mind-boggling $84.7 million total. Ka-ching!

Law Abiding Citizen banked another $7 million ...

Weekly TV Wrap Up – Jan 15 2009

Bruce Simmons — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 13:00:58 +0000

All kinds of goodies took place this last week. Let’s get on with the tidbits of TV!

1. Bruce’s Public Service Announcement: Be aware that the season premiere of season 4.5 (Is that just not the most ridiculous thing ever?) of Battlestar Galactica that is airing this Friday on January 16th will run over by 3 1/2 minutes. That means you need to make the appropriate changes to whatever recording device you may employ, if that is indeed what you are doing. Me, I’m gonna be there live! Despite in-laws crawling all over my place, they’ve been warned. Back off when my show comes on. Go to sleep, go for a walk, go for a drive, or watch it with me, but git out of my way and don’t talk during my show! I take my BSG serious! Source: SciFi ...
