Comedy Winners and Seth Meyers’ Monologue for 75th Golden Globe Awards

January 8, 2018
Uncategorized
2018, golden globes, monologue, seth meyers, winners

The first awards monologue of the year from Seth Meyers probably has set the tone for many monologues to come this year as he immediately and often joked about powerful men being brought down for their past sexual abuse, assault, misbehavior, etc.

Watch it here.

Secondly, here are the winners:
BEST MOTION PICTURE (DRAMA)-“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”
BEST MOTION PICTURE (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)-“Lady Bird”
BEST ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE (DRAMA)-Frances McDormand, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”
BEST ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)-James Franco, “The Disaster Artist”
BEST ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)-Saoirse Ronan, “Lady Bird”
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR IN ANY MOTION PICTURE-Sam Rockwell, “Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri”
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN ANY MOTION PICTURE-Allison Janney, “I, Tonya”
BEST SCREENPLAY-Martin McDonagh, “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”
BEST TELEVISION SERIES (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)-“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”
BEST ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)-Rachel Brosnahan, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”
BEST ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES (MUSICAL OR COMEDY)-Aziz Ansari, “Master of None”

It’s intriguing how Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is getting thrown into the dramatic category, but maybe that is where it has a better chance against the crowded field of prestige pictures that are indeed comedic in some way shape or form (Lady Bird, I, Tonya, The Disaster Artist)

Also, congrats on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel scoring wins in an also crowded TV field.

By the way, here’s the full list of winners.

We’ve been hinting at it in the past several weeks, but, as you can see with Three Billboards and Allison Janney beating out dramatic nominees in the Best Supporting Actress in Any Motion Picture category, comedy is very likely going to have an awards season unlike it has in a very, very long time.

T.J. Miller Indeed Made It a Night to Remember at Last Night’s Critics Choice Awards

For all of those that thought T.J. Miller’s brand of chaos could really go either way as the host of the 2016 Critics Choice Awards, we hope you were watching the broadcast last night. Miller really went for it on his terms with his monologue that involved a gigantic multiple puppet contraption and all his bits in between the awards being handed out.

T.J. had a ball gown cannon (it’s exactly what it sounds like)…

…he read his worst review on stage…

…and, of course, did a Yogi Bear 3D (a film not favored well by critics) bit.

We sincerely hope this amount to many more hosting gigs for T.J.

Fred Armisen and Kristen Bell put together a nice 6:30 of jokes and song to open up The 30th Film Independent Spirit Awards yesterday. 

It was to the point, covered the best feature nominees, and had both Wayne Federman and Sean Conroy as audience plants, which made us happy.

Watch it here.

The Last “Late Late Show” Monologue of Craig Ferguson

Craig Ferguson has always been noted for how radical of a departure he takes for a monologue, often going on tangents that range from incredibly sincere to the downright absurd and everything in between. 

His final monologue for The Late Late Show is a perfect example of that and why he’ll be missed for however long he’s off the air as talk show host.

Watch it here and watch the whole episode here.

Eric Andre Does His Own Monologue and Shows Off Tinder Profile on Conan

Eric Andre has established himself as the type of talk show guest that doesn’t merely do a simple panel interview. Something always goes down when Eric sits on the couch. A lot of the time that “something” is him getting naked.

This time on Conan, Eric decided to go do his own monologue, which he “thinks” is better than Conan as well as try to dissect what’s “wrong” with his Tinder profile. 

Also, though it might not make sense until after watching, props go, as they usually do every night on Conan to Andrés du Bouchet.

The Pete Holmes Show premiered this week and if you haven’t gotten a chance to catch it yet, please watch these two clips of his monologue, which is just Pete’s stand up and this amazing James Bond parody, which neither of is hardly topical, but damn hilarious.

Is a new era in late night on the horizon, perhaps? Watch and decide for yourself between catching your breath and laughing.
