Does everybody else seem peeved that Les Mis is winning stuff, or is it just me?
I haven't noticed that, but doesn't the musical always win in the comedy/musical category at the Globes?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Comedies and musicals shouldn't have to compete. It's dumb.

I agree, mostly because I would have really loved to see Moonrise Kingdom win something this year.
Getting mad at/ praising the winners is not worth time. HFPA is a 90-person strong collective of weird starfuckers. It's like getting an award from the Freemasons. So stars should not care who wins either!
yeah, but getting a Globe can do HUGE things for box office and money is what really matters.
Hey, getting an award from the Freemasons would be a Very Big Deal!
What's the estimate on numbers of Freemasons in the US?
I thought Jodie Foster's speech was just...weird. It seemed like she hadn't quite made up her mind what she was going to say until she got up there. Also, hasn't she publicly acknowledged her (now ex, I guess) partner before? So she was coming out as...divorced? Kind of? And then at the end, announcing she was retiring from public..something. But she won't say what, because privacy!
I dunno, I found the whole thing very offputting. If you're going to spend that long telling us you're not going to tell us anything, I'd rather you just cut the speech short.

Yeah, and her retrospective made me sad because of how awesome her early films were. I haven't seen, or wanted to see, anything she's done in years.

A quick google suggests either 2.5m or 1.3m, depending on who you ask.
