It’s just about 12 noon in New York on Thursday.
The Golden Globes are on Sunday night at 8pm. Yet the countdown clock on their website reads 2 days, 8 hours away. That would be Saturday. I’m not kidding.
Whether they are on Saturday or Sunday, the Globes have just 1 host and 17 presenters announced. They still haven’t revealed their lifetime achievement honorees, the winners of the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett Awards.
What the heck is going on with these people?
They’re already ready at a disadvantage with their host, Jo Koy. The presenters so far are
America Ferrera, Daniel Kaluuya, Florence Pugh, Hailee Steinfeld, Issa Rae, Oprah Winfrey, Shameik Moore, Simu Liu, Amanda Seyfried, Angela Bassett, George Lopez, Julia Garner, Justin Hartley, Michelle Yeoh, Will Ferrell, Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams.
How they got Oprah involved: she’s promoting “The Color Purple” even though it wasn’t even nominated for Best Musical or Comedy. (Two of its actresses — Fantasia and Danielle Brooks — were nominated, however.) The Globes were literally shut down and revamped because they had no Black members. But they couldn’t nominate “The Color Purple.” Surreal. Oprah must not be getting the right information, or CBS is begging her to do it.
I don’t want the Globes to fail, honestly. But I’m surprised by all this disorganization.
This is a mess. Keep refreshing.
