81st Golden Globe Awards (2024 TV Special)
4/10
Unplanned, unorganized & unfunny
12 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Pathetic, Jo Koy bombs & how does he return the favor? Well, by making it worse, repeatedly reminding the crowd that "I didn't write these jokes" I thought he was joking the first time, but he kept bringing it up. REAL COMEDIANS who are bombing that hard will never throw their own team under the table, you're a damn comedian for Christs sake, improvise, do something, instead he stands up there using those same jokes, that he's blaming his writers for, (a couple are his too, yet he won't say it if it's his and the jokes don't land of course) he stands there and I won't even get into the Barbie & Taylor Swift situation, that was bad but just as a whole this entire golden globes was just cringey, unplanned & unorganized.

The winners & nominees are fine I suppose, no upsets or anything, I think everyone was awarded fairly & the speeches were nice.

I appreciate that there wasn't any forced agendas or politics in the room. It did feel like everyone was having a good time there & the atmosphere felt good, golden globes are always a hit & miss type of thing. The host was a miss, & it wasn't engaging as it could have been with the gags.

It's an award show, what more can you ask for? I mean, had the host been solid & decent with okay jokes this would have been a solid 6/10 maybe even a 7/10 but the host alone is what ruined it. Hopefully in the future Jo Koy can redeem himself & maybe plan a little bit better, because even if his writers were to blame or even if the golden globes gave him a short amount of time to prepare, 1 you don't take a risk like this for that short amount of time to prepare, 2 you don't bring your own team down, when Tom Bradys receiver messes up, he doesn't tell the people after the game during meetings that the wide receiver dropped the ball, he puts the blame on him 100%, as a leader & comedian you need to take some accountability. And 3 make better jokes man, these jokes were not funny & some were funny but just delivered badly by you to begin with. The Taylor swift & Barbie jokes were perfect examples of this, Taylor swift was an actual funny joke his delivery was awful, and then the Barbie joke definitely should have been restructured differently, if you knew your writing team wrote that joke why not rewrite it? But no he blames them.

4/10.
