American Hustle Lands a Trio of
Trophies
Abscam Comedy Emerges as Early Oscar
Favorite
The
Hollywood Foreign Press Association staged its 71st Annual Golden
Globes in Beverly Hills
on Sunday evening, with SNL alumna Tina Fey and Amy Poehler again sharing the
hosting duties. The night’s big winner was American Hustle for Best Picture
(Musical or Comedy) as well as Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence for Best Lead
and Supporting Actress, respectively.
Going
into the event, Hustle and 12 Years a Slave shared all the Oscar buzz by
virtue of their having landed the most Golden Globe nominations (7 each). But
12 Years has definitely now lost momentum, despite prevailing in the coveted
Best Picture (Drama) category only.
As
for the show, emcees Fey and Poehler again proved to be more celebrity-friendly
than their relatively-irreverent predecessor, Ricky Gervais. The pair’s tongue-in-cheek
brand of humor ranged from Fey’s praise of August: Osage
County as proof that “there are still
great parts in Hollywood
for Meryl Streeps over 60” to Poehler’s crediting “12 Years a Slave” for changing
the way she feels about slavery.
They
teased conspicuously-absent Woody Allen for winning the award “for the tiniest
man with the biggest glasses,” since the similarly-diminutive and power-framed
Martin Scorcese had previously accepted the lifetime achievement accolade.
Meanwhile, during the telecast, Woody’s son Ronan was busy tweeting a reminder
that his sister Dylan had recently gone public for the first time about her
having been molested by their father at the age of 7.
As
far as profanity, a few foul-mouthed winners had to be bleeped, although in the
case of Jacqueline Bisset the very busy NBC censors were too slow on the button
and let the S-word slip out over the airwaves. They also belatedly edited Fey’s
raunchy suggestion “Like a supermodel’s vagina, let’s all give a warm welcome
to Leonardo DiCaprio,” although they apparently had no problem with her running
joke about prosthetic penises.
But
enough about this self-indulgent, alcohol-fueled preamble to the Academy
Awards, it’s on to The Oscars!
