2021 Golden Globes: 'Nomadland,' Chadwick Boseman, Jane Fonda Among Honorees - NPR

Enlarge this image Technical difficulties and an overall uninspired program were the themes of this year's Golden Globes, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Hollywood Foreign Press Association Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Hollywood Foreign Press Association In any given year, awards-season viewers are doing some combination of reveling in the booze-filled loosie-goosey nature of the Golden Globes while bemoaning the ostensible arbitrariness of many of its nominees and winners. Do you recall the movie Salmon Fishing in the Yemen ? (Three nods in 2012, including best picture.) And really, The Kominsky Method beat out shows like Barry and The Good Place for best TV drama in 2019? How?! The mood going into this year's Globes ceremony was different, however, and not just because the producers had Covid-related logistics to work out for a mostly virtual event.

Golden Globes winners 2021: The full list - Vox.com

Image
The winners of the 2021 Golden Globes were crowned on Sunday night, in a bicoastal and bizarrely produced ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. There were awkward Zoom moments aplenty. There were several uncomfortable but necessary mentions of the lack of diversity among this year’s nominees and within the notoriously corrupt organization that hands out the Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. And in between, a variety of television shows and movies won new trophies! On the TV side, Netflix drama The Crown was the winningest show of the evening, taking home four statuettes, including Best TV Series – Drama. It was joined on the winners list by its Netflix sibling The Queen’s Gambit , which won Best Limited TV Series, as well as Best Actress in a TV Drama for star Anya Taylor-Joy. And in the TV comedy categories, the beloved Canadian sitcom Schitt’s Creek capped off its sweep at last year’s Emmys with one more victory lap for its final season, winning Bes...

Tina Fey And Amy Poehler Really Roasted The Hell Out Of The Golden Globes - BuzzFeed News

NBC Tina Fey in New York City and Amy Poehler in Beverly Hills. How do you host an awards show held during a pandemic for films that most people couldn't see in theaters and which completely overlooked nominating a widely acclaimed TV series led by a Black woman? By absolutely burning the whole damn thing down. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler — hosting jointly but from New York City and Beverly Hills, respectively — decided to roast the hell out of the Golden Globes on Sunday night, using their opening monologue to lean into the controversies that have dogged the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group of international journalists who hand out the awards and who have a reputation for being, well, star-fuckers. "The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of around 90 international, no-Black journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search for a better life," said Fey. The HFPA has in recent days drawn the ire of celebrities for the fact that...

Meghan Markle dazzles in $4,700 Armani dress for Oprah interview - Page Six

The first look at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s upcoming tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey has arrived — and for the occasion, the Duchess of Sussex certainly dressed to impress. For her sit-down with the talk-show icon, a teaser for which aired Sunday night, 39-year-old Markle donned a $4,700 black gown by Armani with a belted waist and foliage embroidery. Unsurprisingly, her exact style is already sold out, but a similar (albeit embellished) version is still available for the same price . Along with her signature messy bun , the Duchess accessorized with her favorite suede Aquazzura pumps ($695) and Cartier Love bracelet ($6,550), along with an aquamarine necklace by Pippa Small and blue topaz Birks earrings, both of which are now sold out. But the real crown jewel of Markle’s ensemble? Her dainty diamond bracelet, believed to be a Cartier heirloom once owned by Princess Diana. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are seen during their interview with Oprah ...

Lawyer Seeks Sexual Abuse Investigation Against T.I. and Tiny - Rolling Stone

A lawyer representing nearly a dozen people is calling for a sexual abuse investigation against rapper T.I. and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris. In a letter sent to state and federal authorities in Georgia and California, lawyer Tyrone A. Blackburn, who is representing the 11 “victimized” people, alleged “sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnapping, terroristic threats and false imprisonment” against the rapper (birth name Clifford Harris) and his wife spanning from 2005 to 2018, the New York Times reports . Five of the victims cited in the letters claimed they were raped or sexually assaulted by the couple. One of the women, a military veteran, says she was drugged by the couple after meeting them at a club; she was later taken to their hotel room — experiencing the effects of the alleged drugging — where she claimed Tiny bathed her and T.I., and the three then engaged in sex, during which the woman vomited.

Meghan Markle is poised to say that life in the royal family was “almost unsurvivable” in an astonishing tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. The first glimpse of Winfrey’s CBS interview with Markle and husband Prince Harry aired Sunday night during an ad break for “60 Minutes.” And what the couple tell Winfrey is so sensational that the legendary host says, “You’ve said some pretty shocking things here … wait, hold up, wait a minute.” Cradling her middle, pregnant Markle — who doesn’t speak in the trailer — looks at the billionaire media mogul as Winfrey asks her, “Were you silent or were you silenced?” Winfrey adds, “I just want to make it clear to everybody there is no subject that’s off limits.” In another moment, she says to Markle, “Almost unsurvivable sounds like there was a breaking point.” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are seen during their interview with Oprah Winfrey airing next month.
