As Tina and Amy reminded us on the red carpet, they were hosting the Golden Globe Awardsfor the third and final time last night. They closed out the ultimatechapter of their charming trilogy in sassy style, teasing George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey, and making a series of Bill Cosby jokesthat had half the audience members belly laughing and the other half totally shocked. One shotsummed up the nation’s reaction perfectly:
After trading impressions of Cosby saying, “I put the pills in the people!”the hosts mostly disappeared, leaving us to wonder who would host next year.Between constantly changing his blazers and photo-bombing, Benedict Cumberbatchmade a pretty good case:
Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader came out and offered imaginary quotes from real movies. Some of the jokes fell flat, only encouraging them to try more. “What about in The Terminatorwhen Arnold’s driving down the street and he pulls up next to that guy guy and says, ‘Excuse me, which way is the Beverly Center?'” Hader asked, before Wiig willfully butchered a Robert DeNiro impression, winning us over forever again.
Frances McDormand looked generally displeasedthe entire night, to the pleasure of a few:
And, to everyone’s delight, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda pretty much stole the showin the third act while presenting the award for Best Actor in a TelevisionSeries – Comedy or Musical.
After slyly promoting their upcoming Netflix series and cracking some jokes about being really high thirty years ago, the duo took some time to make fun of men.”You know, it’s nice that men, at last, are getting the recognition they deserve for being good at comedy,” Fonda ovserved.”I know, I know. Finally, we can put at rest that negative stereotype that men just aren’t funny,” Tomlin responded.
If none of those work out, everyone seemed really thrilled to see Prince, who didn’t do much more than show up dressed as Prince:
We’ll have to wait until next year to find out who will replace one of the best hosting duos in memory. Until then, here are the winners:
