For those who woke up at a civilised hour and missed the Golden Globes Awards today, don’t fret. Joaquin ‘Joker’ Phoenix calls the annual shindig ‘bullshit’, Bradley ‘Hangover’ Cooper thinks them to be ‘meaningless’, and Aamir ‘Dangal’ Khan never attends any.
The credibility of #sowhite, #somale and #sorigged award shows has been dwindling. And as if the Oscars weren’t enough, there’s also the Critics’, Viewer’s, People’s, Kids’ and Teen Choice awards. So, what next? Tuffy’s opinion on which film is greater? Reservoir Dogs or Lassie Come Home?
So, who is likely to do a better job of rewarding good films and snubbing bad ones than the Hollywood Foreign Press Association of the Golden Globes, who have left critics and the industry even nominees flabbergasted with many of their selections over the years.
