Golden Globe Reactions

Just a brief paragraph about tonight's show, which was overall quite enjoyable. Whereas I managed to see every film that won a Globe in the film categories, I did pitifully with my TV. I like "Goliath" and I'm very happy for Billy Bob Thornton, and I was also excited for "Atlanta" and star Donald Glover. Beyond that, I've seen a few episodes of Tracie Ellis Ross' work (I think she was my dead last pick), and I've barely seen anything from the other three big winners: "The Crown," "The Night Manager," and "The People vs. OJ Simpson." Oh well! It's just too bad that Thandie Newton didn't win for "Westworld," but I do love Olivia Colman so I'm sure her award was well-deserved. I got 6/11, which is pretty standard for me but also not too great if you think about it.

Next up awards-wise: the SAG Awards three weeks from tonight. Maybe I'll try to sample "The Crown" and "Stranger Things" before then. Oscar predictions aplenty coming this week over at MoviesWithAbe.com.

Next up here: I'm finally caught up on my TV and just watching this past week's shows. Stay tuned for regular reviews every day as shows return.
