(ESP-ENG) Let's talk about the Golden Globes!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
The award ceremonies personally are one thing I don't like, they usually become very long and tedious and are the platform for entertainers/comedians to do their routines and make more than one person uncomfortable, it happened at the Oscars and obviously it happened on Sunday. I also think that as time goes by there are less and less people who don't really care about these awards, the interest has diminished a lot based on the average viewership. I haven't reached that point yet, I always keep an eye on the nominees and of course the winners as they are announced. This year was no exception, I didn't watch the ceremony but since 2023 is a pretty good year for movies, my interest was a little higher.
That is why today we are going to talk about the most relevant for me in that list of winners, some of them very obvious and expected but others not so much, which was a pleasant surprise for me. The first of those surprises was the winner for best animated film: Kimitachi wa Dō Ikiru ka or The Boy and the Heron. We are talking about a film directed by Hayao Miyazaki, creator of Spirited Away, an Oscar-winning director and one of the top directors in the industry. Personally I didn't have it on my radar, I always thought it would be Spider-Verse without a doubt or even being more risky the same of Super Mario Bros. This was one of those pleasant surprises that I'm sure few expected.
To talk about the success of Oppenheimer I think it would be redundant, it was something that everyone knew was going to happen. The role or rather the interpretation of Cillian Murphy was something extraordinary, he immersed himself in a dense character with a dense and heavy story and that has a lot of merit, there was no way that Bradley Cooper or Di Caprio himself could compete with him for this award. It also won best dramatic film, best director and supporting actor. In these three categories there was no doubt about it, it was very difficult for anything different to win over Nolan's work. Even the soundtrack won. With these awards we already know more or less who will be the big winners for the Oscars on March 10.
The Bear, for me was the big winner of the night taking the three most relevant awards. I knew it was going to triumph because the series that started out as just another one of the bunch ended up becoming something extremely good to watch. Already with the second season ready and the third announced this has been one of the best dramatic comedies I've seen lately, the way they carry the plot, the construction of the characters, the chemistry that has to be there for the scenes to end up being so stressful and funny at the same time has to be great. Because yes, the real hook of this series is how absurd the coexistence in that restaurant can be and that at the same time everyone works or acts to achieve the same goal.
The souls of this story are unquestionably Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri who logically took home their respective Golden Globes. They also had no competition in the categories, maybe Ayo's could have fought it out with Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson but that's as far as it went. As for Jeremy taking the hegemony away from Jason Sudeikis is one of the things I applaud the most, enough about Ted Lasso, a few more awards to that series no one else would put up with, at least not me. The Bear I think it's here to stay, I honestly don't know the long term plans beyond the third season but I think it has the potential to be a series that will mark an era, it has very iconic characters but above all it's the vibe of the series that makes it so spectacular.
Y otra historia que también quiero mencionar porque no quisiera que pasara por debajo de la mesa es BEEF, ganadora de mejor miniserie juntos a sus dos protagonistas Steven Yeun y Ali Wong. Yo hice la reseña respectiva y en aquella oportunidad dije que era de las mejores cosas que había visto en el año. Pero, que tiene esta miniserie que ha sido tan alabada? - para mi es la cotidianidad de la historia. Basicamente todo empieza con un altercado en un estacionamiento, muy común y que le puede pasar a cualquiera y raíz de allí se crea una especie de resentimiento con ira y rabia entre los dos personajes al punto de que se crea un "beef" entre ellos que se sale un poco de las manos.
I say everyday because I'm sure we've all felt those feelings at some time, of interacting with someone in a public place and suddenly this person has a certain personality and ends up doing something that bothers us and damages our whole day. Well, this is what this miniseries is about and I tell you that if you haven't seen it yet, run and do it because you really can't miss it. I really liked that the work of both actors was recognized because the plot would not be the same without them, especially Ali Wong, she surprised me a lot, she has some pretty top scenes that give a lot to talk about.
And finally we have to talk about Barbie. Many said, maybe I at some point, that Greta Gerwig's movie was going to sweep the board and look, it didn't and thank God. It took two awards, the box office achievement award which was crazy and the best original song by Billie Eilish. It was not possible for Margot Robbie to win over Emma Stone, which was the most talked about category as she was nominated. There was a lot of talk about why Ryan Gosling wasn't nominated, I wonder too but I guess we won't have an answer to that or maybe we do but we don't want to say it on the air. For the moment we are waiting for the Emmys and soon the Oscars.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, see you next time!
For me it was Robert Downey Jr. who steals the show on Oppenheimer, he won best supporting actor, although the movie disappointing me, it was not bad but expect something different I did like his performance something way different after so many marvel movies ✌️
Robert's role in the movie was really good, his performance was ten out of ten. Marvel movies are something different, even being Iron Man he acted better than many of the avengers.
Yo he tenido muchas ganas de ver la película the boy and the heron, pero no la he encontrado en ningún lado la verdad. No estuve viendo al 100% los premios pero si trate de estar bastante pendiente de cada cosita, quede loca con lo que le paso a selena gomez Jajajaj. Por su parte, me hizo feliz que billie ganará a mejor canción original, siento que estaba super merecido por es obra de arte. Muy buen posttt
Creo que la atención al final se centró en las cosas más allá de los premios, tengo entendido que el animador hizo unos cuantos chistes que no cayeron bien a muchos. En lo personal me gusta ese humor pero a muchos no.
Yo también ando buscando esa película, supongo que en nada saldrá en digital. Para ganarle a la de Spiderman tiene que ser realmente buena.
Muchas gracias por pasarte, saludossss!!
Quería que ganara Scorsese pero igual me alegra por Nolan, ambos son directores en mi lista de favoritos. Ya los Oscar lo tienen asegurado.
