The Golden Globe winners (some hidden in the back)

Jo Koy was a sucky host, and him telling Meryl Streep that his favorite line from her is “Wakanda Forever” is too tedious to be funny, but this year’s Golden Globes had some smart choices. Some of the people we didn’t really expect to win were placed in the back of the audience. And as I like to say: “Never underestimate the little guy.” There’s also two new categories-one of them I wouldn’t agree if they paid me a million dollars to agree on and the other reminds me of my youth. And here’s when we get to the winners.

Best Motion Picture (Drama): “Oppenheimer”

Why not? It’s the highest grossing movie of 2023. But I still think it’s a stupid new category.

Just be glad her breasts didn’t fall out of her dress. That could have been a disaster.
