Tweets About The Golden Globe Nominations Prove People Are Ready For Awards Season
The 2018 Golden Globes are upon us. On Monday, Dec. 11, all of the nominees were finally announced and it looks like it's going to be one hell of a show. Every January, movie and television fans gather around their TVs (or streaming devices) and cheer on their favorite films, shows, actors, directors, yada-yada-yada. This year, while we've of course been keeping up with hit shows like Veep and Game Of Thrones, and movies like Dunkirk and Get Out, it sort of feels like it's anyone's game. Tweets about the Golden Globe nominations prove people are coming in hot with their opinions.
You guys might remember that last year's award season was dominated by fan-favorite films La La Land and Moonlight, culminating with the infamous Best Picture winner mixup at The Oscars. Secretly, I loved the drama, but not-so-secretly, it was a hard moment to watch. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty were handed the incorrect envelope and announced La La Land as the Best Picture winner when really it was Moonlight. Chaos ensued and it made for some pretty dramatic television. With any luck, there won't be that type of dramatics at the 75th Golden Globes, but we know we can always count on something big happening.
This year, the evening will be hosted by comedic late-night talk show host, Seth Meyers, who is used to performing live thanks to his days on Saturday Night Live. Plus, he's done this once before. In 2014 ,Meyers hosted The Emmys and did a fine job. Rolling Stone also reports this will be the fifth time in six years that an SNL alum has hosted The Globes. Preceding Meyers is pal Jimmy Fallon from 2017, hosting veteran Ricky Gervais from 2016, and besties Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who hosted the show three years in a row between 2013 and 2015.
NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt is pumped for Meyers to host. In a statement released by NBC, he said,
We are thrilled that Seth Meyers is going to be hosting the Golden Globes this year. As he does every night for us in late night, he will be taking a closer look at this year’s best movies and television with his unique brand of wit, intelligence, and mischievous humor.
While NBC is jazzed, tweets prove that the public is a little more sporadic with their feelings.
