Golden Globes - All awards and acceptance speeches (which is the point of awards shows. Movie stars unscripted). No MOR songs and pointless elaborate dance numbers. And why are a bunch of drunk celebrants at the Golden Globes able to finish in exactly 3 hours at 10:00 PM CST every single year & the Oscars can't seem to finish withing 30 minutes of the scheduled finish time? And still it's the Oscars that cuts off acceptance speeches year in and year out. Hint: Acceptance speeches are what we are watching to see. Let them talk.
The Academy Awards. I share Nikki Finke's assessment of the Globes. Yeah, the show is fun, but it's just about which celebs and producers kiss the most Foreign Press Association ass.
Actors grow up dreaming of winning an Oscar. They don't grow up dreaming of winning a Golden Globe.
My friends and i make a weekend here at the beach for the Oscars - have been even before I moved down - me, my cousin and my bestie gays all drunk and disorderly, trashing the outfits. BUT Golden globes are so entertaining because they drink... So i will say - golden globes. As long as I can still have my Oscars weekend (w/out the Oscars)
I like the inclusion of tv and loose atmosphere of the GGs *cough alcohol *cough, but I love the fashion and drama of the Oscars. The Oscars are the Super Bowl of fashion.
The Oscars are more exciting, but the production numbers are cringe-inducing. Globes are more intimate and user-friendly. I like to see who's sitting with who at the tables.
Neither. SAGs for the winnah! I've no interest in the make-up, costume, music, writing awards. I want to see the actors. And the SAGs cover TV as well as movies. The show is way more entertaining than the Oscars, although that's not too difficult.
Plus, I think the SAG voters are more competent to judge their peers than the ancient Academy.
Golden Globes. Their nominations seem to be more in tune with what the movie-going, ticket-buying public like. The Oscar members continue to ignore the highest grossing movies (such as The Avengers) for best picture when obviously many millions of people thought they were the "best" movies.
All these award shows are boring. Name me one other profession that self-congratulates itself like that. Medicine? The legal profession? Teachers? One, maybe two award events a year. I refuse to watch these narcissistic idiots congratulate each other.
Globes for the alcohol, tv people in addition to the movie people and this year, Amy and Tina. But I don't miss the oscars either, and I make a party out of both! Love an awards show night....
I typically watch the Oscars but the GG's are going to be my "go to" this year with the girls hosting. Also as previoulsy mentioned, the musical numbewrs are cringe inducing.
Usually I like the Globes better for the inclusion of both movies AND tv, and the looser atmosphere. This year I'm so so excited for the Globes because of Tina and Amy!
Golden Globes b/c u see the celebs interact and there's also a wider variety of celebs. It's enough to see photos & results of the Oscars.
ReplyDeleteThe freshly painted wall drying.
ReplyDeleteI am with Mr. Ray :)
ReplyDeleteGlobes - drunk celebs and more free atmosphere make it more watch-worthy IMO
ReplyDeleteGolly I don't think I can make such a hard decision.
ReplyDeletegolden globes would be slightly more entertaining.
ReplyDeletebut the academy awards are so pretentious, just watching all the egos in the room is fun.
Globes if Ricky Gervais is hosting. But since Seth Macfarlane is doing the Oscars this year, I would have to go Oscars!
ReplyDeleteI guess the Golden Globes, but I don't enjoy watching award shows for the most part.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love the Oscars, I am going to have to say....The Golden Globes. The actors seem more relaxed and having a good time..
ReplyDeleteGG but only for the hosts. I'm sad Ricky isn't hosting but I enjoy Tina and Amy.

ReplyDeleteThat depends.
ReplyDeleteWhich one will you have the mole at this year, Enty?
GG because some of the TV actresses like to really go all out with their fashion and it's hilarious. I'm looking at you Lea Michele.

GG....
ReplyDeleteNO RICKY this year????-------> >:^(
GG - can't wait for Tina and Amy!
ReplyDeleteGlobes. More fun.
ReplyDeleteOscar. I'm with @T.E. about the pretension and egos being fun to watch. I also love the gowns!
ReplyDeleteI rarely watch award shows...
ReplyDeleteIf I was choosing for this year it would definitely be Golden Globes because of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds exactly like my kind of fun @Staceycharter, have a blast!
DeleteBOTH!! I love Award shows! I make a floor picnic and drink champagne and hopefully live blog with my CDAN friends!

Golden Globes
ReplyDeleteI'm too ADD to sit through a whole awards show.
ReplyDeleteI check the internet for the winners and then watch Fashion Police on Friday to revel in the snark about the fashions.
Globes are better, especially this year with Tina and Amy.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part about any awards show is that cow Joan Rivers. Gotta love someone who looks like that being so nasty.
Really looking forward to the GG this year due to Amy and Tina.
ReplyDelete@Laura, are we live this year? Has anyone talked to Enty about it?
Globes. Not so pretentious like the Oscars. And its for TV too.
ReplyDeleteOscars
ReplyDeleteNo mention of the Independent Spirit Awards? That event is far more entertaining then either of them. Seth Rogan killed it as host last year.
ReplyDeleteNeither; I don't watch awards shows, I think they're boring.
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the list of people who doesn't watch award shows. Yawn.
ReplyDeleteGolden Globes. Their nominations seem to be more in tune with what the movie-going, ticket-buying public like.

ReplyDeleteNeither, both are a total snore.

ReplyDeletealcohol + time limit - Bruce Vilanch = Globes, FTW
ReplyDelete@nom....^5.....I couldn't think of a more appropriate equation. Lol....
DeleteIs death not an option? Man, I hate awards shows.
ReplyDeleteGlobes for the alcohol, tv people in addition to the movie people and this year, Amy and Tina. But I don't miss the oscars either, and I make a party out of both! Love an awards show night....
ReplyDeleteI don't care to watch. I might watch a few minutes of both to see what everyone is wearing.
ReplyDeleteWonder if Angie is going to kick out her leg again...
Golden Globes seems livelier. The Academy Awards seems like everyone is on Ritalin or something.
ReplyDeleteGlobes for two reasons. 1) Drinking. 2) I prefer television to film.
ReplyDeleteThe Academy Awards, I think.
ReplyDeleteGG hands down
ReplyDeleteI typically watch the Oscars but the GG's are going to be my "go to" this year with the girls hosting. Also as previoulsy mentioned, the musical numbewrs are cringe inducing.
ReplyDeleteThis year, I'd have to choose the GG's for Tina and Amy. Plus the fact that it's TV as well so more variety.
ReplyDeleteIn reality, I will probably watch both.
The Globes - everyone's table-hopping, drinking, flirting and loose.
ReplyDeleteNormally the GG but I'm really excited to see Seth macfarlanre host the Oscars this year.
ReplyDeleteUsually I like the Globes better for the inclusion of both movies AND tv, and the looser atmosphere. This year I'm so so excited for the Globes because of Tina and Amy!
ReplyDeleteI like them both, but I will also agree that the Globes is usually a bit more entertaining.
