They should just cancel the Golden Globes
December 21st, 2023 under Awards. [ Comments: none ]

Ever since the scandals, no one cares about the Golden Globes. However, CBS decided to acquire the rights and air them on January 7th.

And it looked like they were going to go hostless because no one had been named. But then today, they announced who the MC would be, and that person is Jo Koy.

“We are thrilled to have Jo host the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards and bring his infectious energy and relatable humor to kick off Hollywood’s award season. We can’t wait to see what he has in store for the stars in the room and a global audience,” said Helen Hoehne, Golden Globes president. “We know Jo is bringing his A-game.”

Koy is funny. But he is no host. And with all the comedians CBS has, you think one of them would’ve said yes.

Personally, I think they should’ve gone with Matt Rife. And just let him make fun of the celebrities during the awards show. The comedian already roasted S.W.A.T.’s Shemar Moore.

What do you think of Koy hosting? Tell me in the comments.

CBS ‘won’ the Golden Globes
November 17th, 2023 under Awards. [ Comments: none ]

The Golden Globes was cancelled a few years ago because of their lack of diversity. But, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association made some changes and sold their awards to Dick Clark Productions.

It aired on NBC last year, and the ratings were disastrous. As was the show. Therefore, NBC dropped them, and it looked like no one was going to broadcast the Golden Globes.

Well, today, CBS announced they won the rights to the awards show on January 7th. But did they really win? I don’t think so.

There are too many award shows, and this one has way too much baggage.

Nominations will be announced on December 11th.

The American Music Awards won’t happen in 2023

Do you ever feel like there are way too many award shows? Well, we are not alone because television networks think the same way. So the Academy of Country Music Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards have moved to streaming, but not all award shows are being saved by online sites.

ABC is not expected to renew its contract with the American Music Awards, and no streaming site decided to air them. So the Billboard Music Awards took their slot on November 19th, according to Variety.

Therefore, the AMAs cannot go on, on that date. So the earliest they can do a show is BBMA’s original date in May 2024.

Would you miss the AMAs if they went away? I say the fewer award shows, the better!

Tonight, Viola Davis won a Grammy for Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording, Finding Me. And she found her way to the elite EGOT status.

That means she has won at least an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. She previously won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, How to Get Away with Murder, An Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, Fences, and two Tonys for Best Featured Actress in a Play, King Hedley II and Fences.

Congrats to the talented actress for becoming the 18th member to join the club with such other respected artists as Rita Moreno, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Alan Menken.

The SAG Awards might not air this year

Doesn’t it seem like there are too many award shows on television? Well, now, one of the more popular ones might not be airing this year. That is because the SAG Awards doesn’t have a television channel to call its own.

Back in May, the award show announced that they parted ways with TNT and they would be looking for a new home. It is November, and according to Deadline, they still don’t have one.

So come February 26th, we might find out who won via the internet because there will be nowhere to watch it.

Hopefully, one of the streaming services will pick it up. If they don’t, this will be another black eye for Fran Drescher, who is the president of the Screen Actors Guild. Her reign is full of failures, and this would be her hugest one to date.
