So I fell asleep during the Golden Globes, and I just finished watching the rest of it. It was pretty entertaining, but the best part was definitely Meryl Streep's acceptance speech. I thought it was incredibly powerful, and the last thing she said made me cry. "As my friend, the dear departed Princess Leia, said to me once, 'Take your broken heart, make it into art.'"

Weakest year for best drama in sooo longggg so The Crown winning wasn't much of a surprise. La La Land winning every award on earth probably wouldn't make me interested in seeing it wat Season 6 of Thrones is all-time great TV. Stranger Things became one of the biggest pop culture phenomenons of the decade. Westworld was a MASSIVE hit. This Is Us is a tremendous success for a basic cable channel show. I think this is one of the best drama years in quite some time. I thought Stranger Things was tremendously overrated. Westworld and Thrones were both awesome idk about all time great level though.

Haven't seen the whole show yet but Streep....she gave standing ovation to Polanski when he won an Oscar. So I just kept rolling my eyes at her little lecture, because maybe say thank you and don't pretend to be on higher moral ground. Gosling's speech was the best one and I loved the gigantic fuck you to Angelina in that thunderous applause for Pitt

I am a rotten person because I am glad Reynolds was not nominated for Deadpool and very happy that Viggo, who has no shot to win, was nominated.

From everything I heard it's just not the kind of performance - or a person - that inspires 'my God I hope he wins!' sentiment

From everything I heard it's just not the kind of performance - or a person - that inspires 'my God I hope he wins!' sentiment Supposedly there were a few boos in the audience when he won at the GG's and Brie Larson would not hug him giving him his award at the show. It's funny to me how the allegations basically derailed Nate Parker but the allegations against Casey aren't stopping him. Really goes to show you race relations in the US and that your name matters (I am sure Ben has a lot of pull with the studios). I am basically rooting for Casey to lose. Shock us Oscars!

i don't think he should win. i'm not saying he should never work again, but i think right now, he does not deserve any rewards.
if he wins, i hope the room is silent.

Well the Nate Parker and Casey Affleck 'incidents' are different - Parker raped that woman, gaslit her and she committed suicide. He also kept talking about it and presented himself as the victim of media bullying. He also not connected. Casey allegedly molested 2 women but they settled so we have no idea what actually happened. Also he has not spoken a word about this. And he has a powerful bruh and Matt Damon who is extremely connected. i'm sure the journalists are being told not to ask any questions about controversy in exchange for exclusive interviews in the future etc. Parker and Affleck different public perception is not strange to me, it's the fact that Affleck is seemingly not getting much heat but Gibson is. What exactly did Gibson do? He is a drunk, that's hardly new in Hollywood. He was abusive towards his wives, again nothing new, sadly. And that shit happened a long time ago. Yet when the nominations were announced it was Gibson who caught the heat, not Affleck

Meh, Affleck is nominated for his performance, not his character as a human being. Anyway, here's some discussion about it:

By giving him the award they say, oh OK he gave the good performance and let's just not think about him allegedly molesting women. It's a seal of approval. It's as if a co-worker of yours, rumored to molest someone, still got a promotion. Of course we don't know the truth but what you wrote is very ignorant. He is gonna get more opportunities because of his win. There is a responsibility here on the members of the Academy for saying 'good job! we don't care about the other stuff!'

One thing that my aversion to radical Christianity left me with is a distaste for judging other people. I've lived 31 years on this planet, and I've done things I'm not proud of, I've hurt people. Every day I try my best to be righteous, but I falter, and struggle with alcohol. I'd hate to be perceived and defined by my moments of weakness, and I can't bring myself to look down at others, even if they do things I find repulsive. Every human being has redeeming qualities, and I find I personally have a more positive life when I look to the positive attributes, and give people the benefit of the doubt, because that's what I would want my peers to do to me. I don't agree with how we make actors role models. I don't understand why we are so obsessed with their personal lives, it's none of my business. All I need from an actor is for that actor to give a good performance, if Casey Affleck gave the best performance of the year, give him an Oscar. And I've made it clear that I don't put much weight in the Oscars, it's all a big self-congratulatory ceremony that I don't have much patience for. Yes, my comment was ignorant, because I don't know what Casey Affleck has done to those women, none of us do, except Casey Affleck and those women. I'm certainly not going to make assumptions and condemn a person in my ignorance.

You just wanna look to the other side, that's your business but people are rightfully side-eyeing this person. Still, at least Nate Parker has been out of this Oscar season. Giving him anything would be despicable considering there is zero doubt about what happened there

When somebody commits a crime, we send them to prison and they serve their time. Do we have room in our hearts for forgiveness or do we shame that person into submission for the rest of their life? Unless you know for sure what Casey Affleck did, I think you're playing a dangerous game by judging him. I don't see much difference in people judging celebrities for unsubstantiated rumors, and the hardcore religious folks shaming women for getting abortions. Who the fuck is any one individual to judge another human being?

I don't see much difference in people judging celebrities for unsubstantiated rumors, and the hardcore religious folks shaming women for getting abortions. Who the fuck is any one individual to judge another human being? With his performance? Nothing. With him maybe winning an Oscar? A lot. As I said before, it's a seal of approval. It usually comes with more fame which turns into more offers and money. And money buy silence. Isn't it odd how no journalists ask him about this? Well no it isn't, they fear they lose access to Affleck and Damon if they do and not even Casey but Ben have a very long history of telling journalists not to ask about something he may not like. And he has been supporting his brother through this season. So there is really no way to verify anything, but this wasn't why it was brought on, what was interesting me here was not what Casey did or didn't do but why in light of him being so close to win and people talking about the allegations is Gibson getting trashed more for something he has done a long time ago and since then he at least cleaned his act a little? And when someone is a rapist or molested women they deserve being judged, I cannot believe I even have to fucking say this.This appears to me like it should be a given. Not saying Affleck is, I don't know, but Parker and Polanski are and they should never win anything because with that come all the things I just mentioned.
