Golden Globes discussion

[Disneyphile]

This is a thread to discuss anything related to the Golden Globes: The hosts, nominees, winners, speeches, and of course, the clothes!

So the only category that most of us care about went to How to Train Your Dragon 2.

I heard there was some talk about Tina Fey and Amy Pohler's commentary. I didn't see the show, what did they say that was shocking?

The worst they did was make light of the allegations about Bill Cosby.

They weren't necessarily making light of it. It was meant to be funny, but HE was the target of the ridicule. It was drawing attention to the fact that he's a despicable monster when most celebrities don't want to turn on their own and the public ignores the dark sides of celebrities while continuing to celebrate their art and public personas.

Tina Fey actually wrote jokes about Bill Cosby being a rapist on 30 Rock and SNL years before the new wave of allegations, so it's something she thinks people should know. Remember, it only got so much attention recently because a comedian brought it up in his stand up act. Sometimes comedy is meant to inform as much as entertain. The best kind of comedy serves a larger purpose in my opinion.
