We like our Globes how we like our Rules—Golden (see also: Girls/Bachelors/Compasses/Ratios, etc.) Fortunately, last night saw The 81st Golden Globe Awards, honoring the crème de la crème in film and American television, and they did not disappoint. There were awards to be handed out, a wealth of tea to be spilled, and history to be made. There were also acceptance speeches to be read, and people to thank—unless, of course, in exceptional circumstances.
We still have a ways to go before awards season is over, but we put one major one to bed: The Golden Globes.
Here's Cillian Murphy accepting his award by opening with a joke referencing the much talked about story of Christopher Nolan not having chairs on his set.
*I got the joke, Cillian. Don't let those little titters from the audience let you think that it wasn't funny.
Cillian's ruddy nose is due from a kiss from his wife Yvonne, who accompanied him with their son Aran. Or at least it looked like Aran, unless Malachy and he favours.
Aran in a film.
Good on ya, Cillian.
Depending how the SAG-AWARDS, BAFTAs and Oscars go, maybe Cillian will continue the Irish love triangle with Barry Keoghan and Andrew Scott.
The true winners in my eyes.
While Barry is still on the awards season push, he is starting promotion for AppleTV+'s MASTERS OF THE AIR. Next weekend he'll join costars Austin Butler, Rafferty Law (son of Jude and Sadie Frost), Nate Mann, Anthony Boyle and Callum Turner and their executive producer for a Q&A.
CILLIAN WON FOR BEST ACTOR also his wife kissed him before going on stage and he got lipstick all over his face and even asked the audience if he got stains and they were like YES but he just let it be and gave his speech like that 😭
