Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?<\/p>\n

A year after a\u00a0certain air of solemnity understandably held court<\/a> at what is generally considered the most raucous night of awards season, lightheartedness was once again on tap\u2014and as presided over by co-hosts\u00a0Sandra Oh<\/a><\/strong> and Andy Samberg<\/a><\/strong> on Sunday, the 2019 Golden Globes<\/a>\u00a0were\u00a0extra congenial.<\/p>\n

It turns out, all those good vibes provided what turned out to be a much-needed soft landing for all of the awards-season rattling bombshells, as it would appear that the Globes are no longer trying to be\u00a0harbingers of subsequent Oscar night glory.\u00a0Instead, they muddied the waters quite a bit, honoring a film that didn’t even get great reviews\u2014but which has a best ensemble nomination at the SAG Awards, so anything is possible\u2014with the biggest prize.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

1.\u00a0A Different Star Is Born:\u00a0<\/strong>It’s ironic that the quintessential Hollywood tale didn’t register with the Hollywood Foreign Press. We’re actually not far from the “Shallow” now. In fact, the “Shallow” is where we are, with Best Original Song being\u00a0the only win of the night for\u00a0A Star Is Born<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

No one was expecting a clean sweep, per se, not with Alfonso Cuar\u00f3n\u00a0<\/strong>once again being considered a lock for directing for\u00a0Roma<\/em>. And any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, but it was a right shock to\u00a0hear\u00a0Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> named Best Motion Picture, Drama, last night instead of…any of the other movies. But especially\u00a0A Star Is Born<\/em>,\u00a0which\u00a0went 1-for-5.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to envision the Academy doubling down on this choice for Best Picture, but Rami Malek<\/a><\/strong>, whose performance as the late, great and enigmatic Freddie Mercury<\/strong> was deservedly singled out for high praise in every middling review<\/a> of\u00a0the film,\u00a0just got this much closer to winning an Oscar.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

2. The Dark Arts:\u00a0<\/strong>God has gotten his fair share of thanks at award shows over the years\u2014though, at the Oscars at least,\u00a0Steven Spielberg<\/a><\/strong>is way ahead<\/a> in mentions. Presumably brand new to the list, however\u2014and we really should start counting\u2014is Satan, whom Christian Bale<\/a><\/strong> heartily thanked for the inspiration\u00a0behind his performance as former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney<\/strong> in\u00a0Vice<\/em>. The Welsh actor once again rendered himself unrecognizable<\/a> and, not surprisingly, walked away with the Globe for best lead actor in a motion picture, comedy or musical.<\/p>\n

Director Adam McKay<\/strong>\u00a0said,\u00a0“‘I’ve got to find somebody who can be absolutely charisma-free and reviled by everybody’…Thank you for all the competition, I will be cornering the market on charisma-free a–holes,” promised Bale, looking like himself again. “What do you think, Mitch McConnell<\/strong> next? That could be good, couldn’t it?”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

He also started his speech by jocularly announcing, “What a bunch of lucky buggers we are, to make a life out of doing something that we love,” and referred to his kids as “banana and burrito,” so… we’re not sure how he’s going to top this should he win the Oscar.<\/p>\n

Same goes for the\u00a0winner for\u00a0lead actress in a comedy\/musical, revered British thespian\u00a0Olivia Colman<\/strong> (whom we’ll be seeing more of at the Emmys and Globes, because she’s the new Queen Elizabeth II in\u00a0The Crown<\/em>), who referred to co-stars Emma Stone<\/a><\/strong> and Rachel Weisz<\/a><\/strong> as “my bitches” in a nod to their conniving-to-the-core characters in\u00a0The Favourite<\/em> opposite Colman’s Queen Anne.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

3. You’re Killing It, Eve:<\/strong> Sandra Oh didn’t need to fake\u00a0any pep as the second\u00a0half of the show got under way. The former\u00a0Grey’s Anatomy<\/em> star\u00a0and\u00a02019\u00a0co-host won for\u00a0best lead actress in a TV drama for her\u00a0layered portrayal of an MI-5 security operative who ends up wanting to both\u00a0capture\u00a0and<\/em> get to know the\u00a0female assassin she’s tracking in BBC America’s gripping but at times kinda hilarious\u00a0Killing Eve<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At the top of the evening Oh had landed one of the best monologue jokes, a wordless imitation of an unimpressed Asian mom\u00a0reacting to the success of\u00a0Crazy Rich Asians<\/em>. Oh’s mother and her darling dad were all smiles, though, when they saw\u00a0their daughter make history as the first Asian actress to win a Globe for lead acting in a drama series.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

4. Stark Difference<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/strong>Almost six years after the Red Wedding decimated House Stark, Richard Madden<\/strong>\u00a0had a much better night at the Golden Globes, winning best lead actor in a drama series for his dreamy but tense, taut and thrilling performance in the BBC’s mega-hit\u00a0Bodyguard<\/em>, which came to the U.S. via Netflix.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Thank you very much. I didn’t see this coming at all,” the Scottish actor said humbly, truly looking surprised. He capped off his thank you list with “most importantly, my friends and my family, and mum and dad who flew all the way from Scotland, wouldn’t be here without you.”<\/p>\n

And so House Madden raises its flag in triumph.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

5. Method Acting:\u00a0<\/strong>Perhaps the edginess of the work of every other show in the category canceled\u00a0itself out,\u00a0so the old-school humor of\u00a0The Kominsky Method<\/em> won for Best Comedy Series. Then again, the HFPA also really loves them some Michael Douglas<\/a><\/strong>. His win for lead actor in a comedy series was his fourth Globe,\u00a0including a Cecil B. DeMille\u00a0Award for life achievement\u00a0in 2004.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

However much The Good Place<\/em> or\u00a0Barry<\/em> may have deserved to win, it\u00a0was rather sweet to see series creator\u00a0Chuck<\/a><\/strong> Lorre<\/strong>\u2014no stranger to hit shows but a little less acquainted with critical acclaim\u2014get emotional. “This doesn’t happen to me,” he said.\u00a0“No one’s cryin’ for me [and his millions], but this is spectacular.”<\/p>\n

And\u00a0if you don’t go with a veteran star like Douglas, you don’t get lines like, “I guess this has to go to my 102-year-old father, Kirk\u2014alter kockers rule!”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0usually\u00a0preferring to award brand-new shows (see all of the above), the Globes made up for lost time and named\u00a0The Americans<\/em>\u00a0best TV drama after its final season. A big da\u00a0<\/em>to that choice.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

6. Queen King: Regina King<\/strong>‘s\u00a0long-deserved Moment appears to have entered its cinematic period, with the three-time Emmy winner’s win for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for\u00a0If Beale Street Could Talk\u00a0<\/em>further making the SAG Awards snub a head-scratcher and simultaneously helping her Oscar chances.<\/p>\n

“This is so fantastic,” she marveled onstage, and proceeded to vow to use her platform to employ\u00a0at least a 50-percent female staff on\u00a0every project she produces for the next two years. “Time’s Up times two,”\u00a0King said. “…We understand that our microphones are big and we are speaking for everyone.”<\/p>\n

“Regina, we’re available,” Megan Mullally<\/strong>, coming on after to present with Kristen Bell<\/a><\/strong>, said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

7. Close for Comfort:\u00a0<\/strong>There’s been a lot of talk this year about whether Glenn Close<\/a><\/strong>is going to get the finally-it’s-her-turn Oscar for\u00a0The Wife<\/em>, but no one looked more surprised than the 14-time Golden Globe nominee to hear her name called last night. It was her third Globe win, but first for a film.<\/p>\n

“It was called\u00a0The Wife\u2014<\/em>I think that’s why it took 14 years to get made,” she quipped. But taking the baton from King’s speech earlier in the night, Close also made a point of stressing the importance of empowering women\u00a0to go after what they want.<\/p>\n

She paid tribute to her mother, who in her 80s “said to me, ‘I feel I haven’t accomplished anything,'” Close recalled. “And it was so not right. And I feel what I’ve learned through this whole experience,\u00a0you know, women, we’re nurturers, that’s what’s expected of us…But we have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams. We have to say ‘I can do that and I should be allowed to do that.'”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
