Best actor in a tv mini series: Kevin Costner (Hatfields & McCoys)






TIS

Whoa!!! Bill Clinton? What a surprise.


Ahhh, he's talking about "Lincoln". How appropriate for a President.





TIS

I would think people still remember Live and Let Die.

Yep, I gotta agree with you there. That IS a good one.

TIS

Best actress in comedy/musical - Jennifer Lawrence
Btw, I know you won't care Bam, but I like her dress.






TIS

Only saw Meryl or maybe Judi Dench winning (only because she is retiring from acting)

Screenplay - Quentin Tarentino




TIS

TIS, what awards? I thought Oscars were next month.

Golden globes

Oli,

Golden Globes on NBC. Covers both movies/tv .It's about halfway thru.




TIS

Best Actress Drama - Claire Danes Homeland





TIS

Ok, I thought Jodi Foster came out a while back. Is she trying to announce she's gay? Btw, I lost sound for a couple minutes.







TIS

As far as I know she never came out? I really have no idea what she meant by that, either trying to make a joke or something else?

Well it certainly sounded like she was having a hard time just coming out and saying it. Like I said tho, the station lost sound for a minute or so, so maybe I missed it. Glad I'm not the only one who was confused.

Anyway, she is a very good actress and has done a good variety of roles, like she said from a very very young age.

Btw, if I'm not mistaken wasn't she the Coopertone toddler in the ads from way back?




TIS

I believe so

Best actor musical/comedy Hugh Jackman





TIS

Best actress drama Jessica Chastain - "Zero Dark Thirty"





TIS

Best actor drama - Daniel Day Lewis Lincoln






TIS

He looks like Lincoln with his hair cut like that.

Best movie Drama - "Argo" I'm really surprised




TIS

Not really, it looks like a really good and interesting movie.

I'm not saying Argo's not a good movie, it's just that I would have bet money on Lincoln. I actually had my post all written up before submitting it, with Lincoln as winning. I was that sure. Clearly, what do I know?



TIS

TIS, it seemed like Jodie Foster was kind of making a statement about how it wasn't really the business of the public to know about her sexuality - sort of a non-coming-out speech, I guess. As I watched it, I too was wondering if she'd already come out before, or if this was a set-up for a joke, but it seemed to be a commentary on privacy, with her saying she'd already had the discussion with her loved ones and that it didn't need to be addressed so publicly. The parts addressed to her kids and her mom were really touching.

I really liked the bit that I heard of Lena Dunham's actress speech. I've never seen her show or even known of her, but I love when winners pay tribute to the other nominees and thought it was sweet that she said all the other ladies had gotten her through tough times with their work.. and she seemed very real in everything she said.

P.S. I love Tina and Amy!

Hey Gina, yea, Foster's speech was a bit confusing. I swear about a year or so ago she came out so I was confused as to what she was actually saying.

Yes, Amy & Tina were great. I too, never heard of Girls. I do have HBO tho and may check it out.

George Clooney looked pretty hot! (I had to just throw that in.)

TIS

Yup, I added "Girls" to my to-watch list - but unfortunately, that list is already way too long for any possible completion anytime soon!

And there's nothing wrong with checking out Clooney.. I'm sure he's used to it!

He deserved it imo.

She didn't come out, but she's mentioned her partner more than once in acceptance speeches in blink and miss moments that didn't register in the MSM.

I think this just highlights the difference of attitudes between different generations of gay/lesbian actors. People like Foster and Kevin Spacey will never "come out" publicly in the media as no big deal like younger actors like Zachary Quinto or Neil Patrick Harris did. Even if everybody and their Mom knows they're gay, they'll shy away from it like the plague because of their backgrounds of breaking into Hollywood and learning/taught that their orientations known publicly would hurt their careers.

Meanwhile, John Hinckley feels like a complete dumbass now.

Wow, Kevin Spacey is gay?! This is the first I'm hearing this. I add that I still care when I see a left handed person as well. Though that's none of my business, it's still interesting.

A lot of actors are gay, but if they actually come out with it they would not get the leading man parts they used to get before.

My thoughts on spacey very good actor, pretty funny guy and great impressions.

You know there are a lot of guys who get awards in other categories who look real gay. Then they thank their wives and children.

Why do these guys think we give a shit if they are gay or not as long as they can act.

Like in sports tge same thing. If they can play who cares what they are

I too am surprised about Spacey but don't know why people conclude he's gay. Has he "almost" come out or something? Anyway I like him.
