Golden Globes: Amazon is Hot Studio of Night, Picks Up 2 Statues

Share

Amazon is the hit studio of the night. They won best comedy with Transparent and best actor in that show, Jeffrey Tambor. Many awards tonight have gone to newcomers, with one exception. Kevin Spacey won best actor for TV drama in House of Cards. “I can’t believe I finally won,” he said adding an expletive. The Hollywood Foreign Press really went eclectic when it came to these TV awards. “The Affair” and Ruth Wilson? Really? The girl from “Jane the Virgin” is better than Julia Louis Dreyfus? On the movie side, some of the winners will not carry over to the Oscars. And Michael Keaton’s emotional speech sounded like he was running for office. I’ll put up a story or two about the parties and all the backstage stuff in the morning. By the way disregard stories about music producer Richard Perry passing out. The room was about 150 degrees. He needed some air, and wound up just going home. I spoke to him later and he was fine. Richard is getting the Trustees Award at the Grammys next month.
