'Bohemian Rhapsody,' 'Versace' & 'Green Book' Score At 2019 Golden Globe Awards

It was a night of surprises at the always-unpredictable Golden Globe Awards last night in Los Angeles.

There were several wins for LGBTQ-themed projects:

Bohemian Rhapsody, the Queen biopic, picked up the statue for "Best Motion Picture Drama."

Additionally, Rami Malek’s star turn as queer frontman Freddie Mercury scored a win in the "Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture" category. Malek did not, however, mention the film's fired director, the controversial Bryan Singer, in his acceptance speech.

Singer posted his thanks for the Bohemian Rhapsody win on his Instagram.

What an honor. Thank you #HollywoodForeignPress

Despite mixed reviews, the movie is a box office juggernaut as the biggest-selling music biopic in history.

Green Book, which chronicles the friendship of gay, black jazz pianist Don Shirley and his chauffeur Tony Vallelonga in the early 1960s Deep South, won “Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical,” “Best Screenplay,” and “Best Supporting Actor.”

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, which told the story of disturbed gay serial murderer Andrew Cunanan, scored as “Best Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for TV.”

Having already won the Emmy Award this year, Darren Criss picked up another trophy for “Best Actor in a Limited Series” as Cunanan.

In his acceptance speech, Assassination executive producer Brad Simpson, warned that although his project was set in the 1990s, the times today are not so different.

“This was the era of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ It was the Defense of Marriage Act era. Those forces of hate are still here with us. They tell us we should be scared of people who are different than us. They tell us we should put walls around ourselves. As artists we must fight back by representing those who are not represented by providing a space for people with new voices to tell stories that haven’t been told. As human beings, we can resist in the streets, resist at the ballot box. and practice love and empathy in our everyday lives. Our show is a period piece, but those forces are not historical. They are here, they are with us, and we must resist.”

Another unfiltered political moment came when Christian Bale, accepting his Golden Globe for his portrayal of former Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice, jokingly thanked Satan for inspiration in playing Cheney. He also referred to Cheney and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell as "charisma-free assholes."

Out actor Ben Whishaw won “Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture” for his work as ‘Norman Scott’ in A Very English Scandal.

And Olivia Coleman’s portrayal as ‘Queen Anne,’ who indulges in romance with not one but two women, in The Favourite, took home the award for “Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.”

Perhaps the biggest upset of the evening was Glenn Close’s surprise win for her role in The Wife over the much-lauded Lady Gaga turn in A Star is Born.

This was Close’s 15th Golden Globe nomination and 3rd win. The veteran actress has never won at the Oscars, though, and this may make the Academy voters take another look at Close.

In addition to her stunned reaction, Close delivered one of the most moving acceptance speeches of the night underscoring the balance of family life with personal fulfillment:

“I’m thinking of my mom, who really sublimated herself to my father her whole life. And in her 80s, she said to me, ‘I feel I haven’t accomplished anything.’ And it was so not right,” the actress said. “What I’ve learned through this whole experience is that women, we’re nurturers. That’s what’s expected of us. We have our children; we have our husbands, if we are lucky enough; and our partners, whoever. But we have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams. We have to say ‘I can do that, and I should be allowed to do that.’ ”

Gaga fans, however, were not moved by the inspiring words.

In fact, they got downright hostile on social media.

GLEN CLOSE??? Not #LadyGaga?? I’m done with you #GoldenGlobes
You as drunk as Christian Bale and Bill Murray.#GoldenGlobeAwards #GaGaWasRobbed #WhoPaidForThisShit

who even is glen close i’m sorry lady gaga totally deserved that

And those were the tame tweets.

Gaga didn’t go home empty-handed though. She still attained the title “Golden Globe winner” for her contribution to writing “Shallow, which won for “Best Original Song, Motion Picture.”

Another notable disappointment for LGBTQs was Billy Porter’s stunning work as “Pray Tell” in the acclaimed FX series Pose being overlooked as well as the series itself.

That said, Porter was a standout on the red carpet, giving us life with a spectacular cape designed by NYC designer Randy Rahm.

Billy Porter: Tips For Living Your Best Life

Billy Porter

On his way to LaLa Land and the 2019 Golden Globe Awards where he is nominated for “Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series” for his star turn in the FX series, Pose, Billy Porter dropped by Buzzfeeds’ Cocoa Butter to share his ‘Seven Tips To Live By.’

Having survived highs and lows in the business of show for over 30 years, Mr. Porter knows of what he speaks.


1. “Choose yourself, save yourself, bet on yourself!”

How is someone going to believe in you if you don't? Enough said.


2. “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have!”

Billy adds with a smile, “So if you’re wondering why I’m always turning it with the clothing and the looks, darling, that is why - I have goals.”

3. “Don’t wait for anyone to give you permission to practice your art!”

Porter told me once that Tony Award-winning stage director George C. Wolfe shared this little bon mot with him in the early 2000s when he was an Artist in Residence at the Public Theatre in NYC. “You need to be practicing it always, every day, every moment you get. People usually ain’t listening, but sometimes they do. You’ve got to be ready…when it’s time.”


4. “Be on time!”

Porter explains exactly what that means to him: “Fifteen minutes early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable. The doors will be locked!”


5. “When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.”

With a glint in his eye, the 49-year-old leans into the camera and continues, “Y’all know what I’m talking about; we got a lot of people we could be talking about.”


6. “Be of service.”

A wider purpose adds dimension to your work. “When your intention is service, everything else will work itself out," says Porter.


7. “Mean what you say and say what you mean - and deliver. Be impeccable with your word.”

Donald Trump Slaps Back At Meryl "Over-Rated" Streep For Golden Globes Speech

Well, this didn't take long.

Via the New York Times:

President-elect Donald J. Trump dismissed Meryl Streep as “a Hillary lover” early Monday morning after the actress, in a speech at the Golden Globes award ceremony, denounced him as a bully who disrespected and humiliated others.

Mr. Trump, in a brief telephone interview, said he had not seen Ms. Streep’s remarks or other parts of the Globes ceremony, which were broadcast on NBC, but he added that he was “not surprised” that he had come under attack from “liberal movie people.”

While anti-Trump comments at the Globes were relatively restrained, Ms. Streep, one of the most outspoken progressives in the film world, mounted a powerful critique of Mr. Trump’s abilities as a performer, complimenting in a backhanded way a style of showmanship that she all but called insidious.

“There was one performance this year that stunned me — it sank its hooks in my heart,” Ms. Streep said. “Not because it was good; there was nothing good about it. But it was effective and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh, and show their teeth.

“It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter,” she said, referring to a speech by Mr. Trump in 2015 when he shuddered and flailed his arms, seeming to mock a disabled reporter for The New York Times. “It kind of broke my heart when I saw it, and I still can’t get it out of my head, because it wasn’t in a movie. It was real life.”

Of course, Trump still denies that he was mocking the reporter, when it's clear that's exactly what he was doing. Not only did he use physical movements to mimic the reporter, these were movements we had never seen Trump use before.

p.s. calling Meryl Streep "one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood" is so off the mark it borders on parody. You'll note she was accepting  the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award for her incredible body of work.

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a.....

"groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!

Meryl Streep Delivers Epic Takedown Of Donald Trump Without Ever Mentioning His Name

Honored with the prestigious Cecil B. Demille Award tonight at the Golden Globe Awards, Meryl Streep took to the stage admitting she had lost her voice, then went on to say everything that needed to be said.

Along the way, she delivered an epic takedown of our incoming Cheeto-in-chief.

Via Mediaite:

Then, she asked, “Who are we? And What is Hollywood anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places. I was born and raised and educated in the public schools of New Jersey. Viola (Davis) was born in a share-croppers cabin in South Carolina,” and mentioned several other actors’ and actresses backgrounds, before asking, “Where are their birth certificates?” She added, “If you kick them all out, you’ll have nothing to watch except for football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.”

She said there were “many powerful performances this year,” but there was one that “stunned” her and “sank its hooks in [her] heart. Not because it was good. There was nothing good about it. But it was effective, and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter- someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back. It kind of broke my heart,” she said, becoming emotional.

“When the powerful use their position to bully others,” she said, “we all lose.”

She then addressed the press, saying “we need the principled press to hold power to account,” and called on the “famously well-heeled Hollywood Foreign Press” to support the Committee to Protect Journalists. “We’re going to need them,” she said, “and they’ll need us to safeguard the truth.”

She concluded by sharing something Carrie Fisher once told her: “Take your broken heart, make it into art.”

Ricky Gervais' Opening Monologue At 2016 Golden Globes

Who enjoyed last night's Golden Globe Awards? Did your favorites win?

I was surprised a bit by the surge for "Mr. Robot." I hadn't heard of it, so hubby Michael and I immediately found it On Demand and tried it out.

(Not really my kinda thing I found out.)

I did think Ricky Gervais' opening monologue was funny at times, although the transgender jokes were unnecessary. Check it out below.

Funny or Die: What Jodie Foster was thinking during Golden Globes speech

What Jodie Foster Was Thinking - watch more funny videos

I have my own feelings about Jodie Foster's "did she or didn't she come out" speech during the recent Golden Globe Awards.

Coming out, I feel is a very private and personal matter. No one can dictate the time or terms on which someone addresses this very personal issue.

However, I will say, public figures who DO come out offer visibility and role models to younger LGBT folks. They prove that "it does get better."

I still don't know if Jodie Foster did or didn't come out last Sunday. So, if I'm confused - how do you think young gays and lesbians feel?

Loud and proud or not - if you're going to do something, do it.

Just my two cents.
