THE GOLDEN GLOBES 2025......BIG LAUGHS, BIG CRINGES, AND BOOZED-FUELED CELEBS....WHO COULD ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE?

 The Golden Globes Awards (2025)

       Three years ago, the rickety, corrupt-to-the-bone Hollywood Foreign Press Association, along with their ludicrous, laughable awards show, finally collapsed under the weight their incompetence and numerous scandals. 

        We sadly sighed. C'mon, who didn't love the Globes as a glorious Guilty Pleasure......with liquored-up celebs, untethered from the high tension of the Oscars, embarrassing themselves with awkward acceptance speeches. 

         The show crawled back on TV, a few years ago, but its ghastly choices for hosts (unfunny non-entity comedians) drained the entertainment value out of it. 

         Now we're thrilled to report, the Globes came back with a vengeance last night, energized by take-no-prisoners roast comic Nikki Glaser. 

          Glaser, in the best traditions of Ricky Gervais, unleashed a devastating riotous monologue on the A-Listers......and for a change of pace, they laughed right along with her...(as if they knew they had it comin'....)

         More indelible Globes moments followed. 

         Winner Zoe Saldana sobbed and blathered on as she'd just been handed the Nobel for curing cancer.  For the rest of the night, no other winner could match her in hysterical melodrama. 

         Vin Diesel poked a hello at arch-enemy Dwayne Johnson, who simply smiled back at him. Priceless.

         Kieran Culkin easily won the Best Drunk-As-A-Skunk acceptance speech. 

         Seth Rogan called out the Globes for their dumb idea of positioning the award presenters with their backs to the celebs. Then he and fellow presenter Catherine O'Hara recalled their Canadian days starring in purely imaginary North-of-the-Border disasters. 

         We could go on, but if you watched the show, you know the stuff we refer to.......if you skipped it, this one's worth streaming if you've got the time.

           Overall, this year's Globes got back to being everything we expect of this show.....

          Ridiculous, Sometimes touching, sometimes foolish, sometimes laugh out loud funny.  A fine way to gaze upon and mock Hollywood royalty on parade......

           BQ's happy to welcome back the Globes we all love and mock without mercy. So we'll raise a glass to 'em with 3 & 1/2 stars (***1/2).

          But, here's the thing......

          Nikki Glaser said it best.....that these ego-stuffed, overpaid preening performers could accomplish most anything.....except tell the country who they should vote for.....

            True enough.

           America thumbed their noses at these entitled, tuxedo'd, designer gown'd elites.... and all their wokeness, diversity and progressive agendas.....

            Then again, America also thumbed its collective nose at decency, morality, the rule of law and democracy....

            And now, we're all on the verge of paying dearly for it.

            But not the pretty people we saw on the Globes last night. 

            The celebs, with their salaries totaled in 1000's (and millions) of dollars will make it through the next four years just fine......(except the ones who get tossed into jail for rape....)

              But the unsettling question remains....will we???
