Good speeches by Michelle Williams; Joaquin Phoenix; etc. at Golden Globes 2020

The golden globes happened two days ago, at the beverly hilton hotel in beverly hills, CA. The big winners were Joaquin Phoenix for best actor in 'joker'; brad pitt for best supporting actor in 'once upon a time in hollywood'; laura dern for best supporting actress in 'marriage story'; and renee zellweger for best actress in 'judy'. Sam Mendes won the best director in film award for '1917' movie. Best picture in drama went to '1917' movie as well. '1917' won two awards. This movie winning those 2 awards is a big surprise, as '1917' movie could win an award or 2 at academy awards in five weeks. Furthermore, 'the irishman' movie did not win any awards. The movie received multiple nominations for film categories like best supporting actor; best picture; and best director. 'Parasite' movie won best foreign film. The south korean movie won one award, which puts the picture in good shape to win best foreign movie at academy awards 2020. 'parasite' is on my must see list for future movies to watch. Next up, there were great speeches at the golden globes. Michelle Williams won a golden globe award, in the tv category for 'fosse/verdon.' She gave a very moving speech, when she accepted the award. Joaquin Phoenix's acceptance speech for best actor, was more about the world making a difference for actors. He wanted everyone in the acting world, to make the difference for themself which would come down to actors doing the right thing. Joaquin Phoenix is my pick for winning best actor at the Academy Awards, on 2-9-2020. Let's move on to the Brad Pitt speech. He won an award for best supporting actor. If he wins the academy award for best supporting actor at the 2020 oscars, it would be his first academy award for acting. He won his 2nd golden globe award on sunday, and his speech was hilarious. He talked about his funny dating life, and how he brought no one as his date. Pitt gave a nod to leonardo diCaprio and Tarantino for helping him; with the acting in 'once upon a time in hollywood.' His ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston; did not win an award at golden globes 2020. In this penultimate paragraph, let's discuss Tom Hanks winning the Cecil B. Demille award. Hanks speech was very moving. Tom thanked a lot of people including his wife, Rita; and their kids; charlize theron and his movie directors from past films;and other fellow actors/actresses he worked with. Hanks was nominated for best supporting actor for 'a beautiful day in the neighborhood.' Finally, Ricky Gervais did a good job in his monologue. He has been the host on more than 4 occasions, of the this great awards show. See the picture above of Brad pitt and leonardo dicaprio. This show is not something I watched on sunday night, as I had more romantic stuff with the ladies taking place. Check out g. ripley in February 2020 for academy awards coverage. It is the most exciting time of the year, in the film industry and Hollywood. Good day!!
