TV Recaps Reviews

The Golden Globes had a few surprise winners and a number of expected wins. The Globes host Ricky Gervais was shockingly funny, making some pointed remarks about Hollywood. As expected there were wins for The Social Network. Black Swan, and The Kids Are All Right. The surprise wins in motion picture categories were Paul Giamatti winning as Best Actor, Musical or Comedy for the film Barney’s Version, Melissa Leo winning as Best Supporting Actress for The Fighter, and for television, Steve Buscemi as Best Actor, Drama, for Boardwalk Empire and Katy Segal as Best Actress, Drama, for her role in Sons of Anarchy. It is always great to see the exceptional Paul Giamatti win an award for his fine work. Steve Buscemi, seriously, this actor should have won a number of Emmys and Oscars by now, glad to see him win. It was especially encouraging to see Katy Segal win, since Segal’s stellar work in Sons of Anarchy has been until now underappreciated by the award shows. Time to acknowledge the talented Sons of Anarchy cast and see some award nominations upcoming for Ron Perlman and Charlie Hunnam, among others.
