Golden Globes

I find this years GG one of the worst in recent cinema history. The film categories are rife with favoritism - Sly Stallone "Best" supporting actor? They couldn't come up someone better? What the hell is that all about? I don't mean to sound superior, but this is not well-thought. Here's the list.

Post Script - I actually want to see "The Big Short" and "Joy" as both casts are extremely talented with good writers and directors. But Ricky Gervais, again? Didn't we get enough of his bad twisted humor the last time he appeared? I guess the Foreign Press Association love this guy or they wouldn't have him on three times. I'll just turn off the sound when he's speaking.

Sly Stallone really is great in Creed, don't knock him till you see it. I agree with you on wanting t to see Joy and The Big Short. Why are these lists "pathetic"?
