It is a cherished American tradition: Once a year, we simultaneously question the integrity and taste of the Golden Globe Awards. And in 2021, the ceremony honoring film and TV has given us a lot of strange choices.
Last week, it was revealed that the Netflix show “Emily in Paris” Reportedly flew to Paris for 90-person globe voting block And put them in a $ 1,400 a night peninsula hotel for a trash. The chic journey to City of Lights may have helped the show to appear in two nominations, including the best comedy series.
Meanwhile, Siya’s eponymous film “Sangeet” is in controversy for a happy-go-lucky portrayal of autism. And to put an end to this altogether, it was reported a few days ago that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which attends the ceremony, has zero black members. A Banner Year!
But the Globe has long expressed skepticism and resentment for his shady behavior and cuckoo’s choice. There are some weird Golden Globes to like here.
Piya Zadora in “Butterfly”
A mystery still not fully explained is Piya Zadora’s new Star of the Year star in 1982 for her performance in the critically reviewed drama “Butterfly”. Tvedi film is about an Arizona man (Stacey Khich), who begins an immoral relationship with his long-lost daughter, Kadi (Zadora), who just happens to get super into this sort of thing. . Total. Times critic Vincent Canby said the newcomer’s sexual performance was “like that of Brigitte Bardot that has been recycled through a kitchen compactor.”
When Zadora received the award, some alleged that her then-husband, Israeli billionaire Mezulum Riclias, founded the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which he owned, by hosting a grand press trash at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas.
Nevertheless, she sees that she won her trophy fair and class. A few months later, her performance would also earn the Golden Raspberry Award for Actress badly.
“scent of a Woman”
No one would call “Khushboo Ki Aurat” a bad film. It also received an Oscar, and Al Pacino won the Academy Award for his role as a blind lieutenant colonel. But it was never the season front-runner. (It competed against “A Few Good Men”, “Howard’s End,” “The Crying Game” and “Unforgiven”, which eventually won the Oscar for Best Picture.) So, when the film won the 1993 Best Drama Film for The HFPA found itself in the midst of another feud, snatching the Golden Globes. When it was revealed that Hollywood insiders were deranged Many voters were sent to New York To meet Pacino during the voting process. And no one would say who paid for the stars’ joint.
Halle Berry (“Frankie and Alice”)
Another criticism often faced by Globs is that it names stars only to receive it on the red carpet – an A-list talent in a D-list duet. It definitely tracks for Halle Berry Best Actress in a Drama Film in 2011 “Frankie and Alice.” The short Canadian film about a stripper with a life-threatening split personality was slammed by critics, though some praised Berry’s work. Strangers still, most Americans were not able to see it. While “Frankie & Alice” had a limited release in 2010 to qualify for the awards, by 2014 its wide release was halted.
“Martian”
What was the funniest part of “The Martian”? Was this when Matt Damon’s astronaut was stranded on Mars, seemingly alone sure to die? Or when he managed to grow potatoes to eliminate starvation? Perhaps this was his harsh final maneuver to reach the crew sent to rescue him. What was your favorite song in the film? Oh, well, there were none. All of the above is because people were scratching their heads when they were nominated for “The Martian” – and won! – 2016 “Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy” Award. It spins out real, umm, comedy like “The Big Short,” “Joy,” Spy “and” Trainwreck “.
Johnny Depp (“Alice in Wonderland,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”)
For a solid 20 years, the slogan HFPA would have designated Johnny Depp to walk around the block. From 1991 to 2011, the actor received A huge 10 Golden Globe nominations. Compare them to three Oscars of your lifetime. However, compared to the sheer amount, it was projects, including 2005’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, in which he played the role of a Wisconsin drugstore clerk, like Willie Wonka; 2010’s “Alice in Wonderland”, with her flame-haired Mad Hatter; And, the worst of them all, “The Tourist”, also in 2010.
“Tourist”
Critics chanted “The Tourist,” a remake of a 2005 French film, but it nonetheless won a superb musical or comedy film for Depp and Angelina Jolie in Globe Nominations and Undesirable Acting Nodes, in which Chemistry There was an icy deficit of. The inclusion was criticized so much, with host Ricky Gerwais making fun of it in his monologue.
“It was a big year for 3-D films,” he said. “Toy Story,” “Despicable Me,” “Tron” – it seems that this year everything was three-dimensional, except for the characters in ‘The Tourist’. “
On piling, Grevas said: “I don’t mind that joke, because I’m jumping on the band. I have not even seen ‘The Tourist’. with whom? But it should be good, because it was nominated. “
“Berkless”
Remember when Christina Aguilera gave Abhinaya a shot? If you answered, “No,” you are lucky. In 2010, she played the role of an aspiring artist who moves to L.A. to make it big, only to be cast by Cher to work in a basement-not-strip-joint run. “Her acting career is not going to keep Anne Hathaway awake at night,” the Post’s critic Lou Lumenik said of Aguilera’s turn. Nevertheless, it managed three Golden Globe nods, including Best Comedy or Musical Film.
John C. Reilly (“Walk Hard: The Davy Cox Story”)
You can bet your bottom dollar that John C. Reilly had never dreamed of being respected or anticipated for his musical genres. Leave it on the globes to get there first. Reilly Wrote lyrics for his character In 2007 “Walk Hard: The Davy Cox Story,” a comical parody of Johnny Cash. The tune is perfectly fine, but the lyrics are like, “You know when I was a boy, people used to say to me, ‘Do it slowly, Davey, don’t try so hard.’ “Reilly eventually lost to Eddie Vedder.
Robin Williams (“Patch Adams”)
Robin williams Was one of our greatest comedians, But “Patch Adams” was easily one of his worst films. In the comedy, he played the role of a suicidal man, who becomes a medical student and questions traditional doctor-patient interactions. He would rather see it instead. But, as Gene Siskel put it, “Who would want a mork on their bed?” The film was a strange mixture of Losbro jokes and extreme sentimentality, and Williams’ performance was 11. Cranked naturally, with the Golden Globes nominating him for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical Film, as well as a substandard film. .
