    Shocker: Golden Globes Highlight Hollywood’s Disconnect From Reality

    I didn’t really enjoy the Golden Globes next night despite the fact that I gave up watching out-of-touch liberals pat themselves on the rear years ago. I’m guessing most of you didn’t neither, but I have seen enough news coverage to make sure I didn’t miss out on many. While there has been a lot of discussion about this show, this comedian, and some other ones, I didn’t really notice until I read a piece People magazine about the “exclusive$ 1 million product bags” these poor people received just for attending the event. &nbsp,

    According to Citizens, the gift bags were filled with” 28 luxurious goods and experience.” These included special trips to places like Indonesia and Turks and Caicos, expensive yacht visits, and private flights to Finland to observe the Northern Lights. ( So much for all that whole climate change thing, I guess. ) &nbsp, Other items offered included$ 40, 000 facelifts,$ 1, 400 facials, personalized workout sessions, a$ 15, 000 treadmill, and an exotic selection of cigars, alcohol, and wine-tasting trips. &nbsp,

    Look, I’m not one to begrudge someone else their success, financial or otherwise, but this ostentatious display of wealth seems a bit tone-deaf at the moment. Even the most liberal of news outlets have acknowledged for the past year that Americans are struggling to feed their families, and that includes those who live far above the poverty line. Hollywood kind of lives in its own little bubble, but maybe this isn’t the time to go shopping with your fancy free gifts. I’d have tremendous respect for any actor or actress who spoke up and said,” Yeah, thanks, but I don’t need a free$ 40, 000 facelift. Could we sell it for money and give to a food bank as a result? &nbsp,

    And in addition to being tone-deaf, many of these people have spent the last several months to years telling us not to vote for the people we believe will improve our economic situation because they cause others to feel bad. Can these people be more irrelevant? &nbsp,

    I’d never even heard of the majority of the nominations, but it might be because I’ve been too busy working lately to buy groceries to watch a lot of TV and movies. I did watch host Nikki Glaser’s monologue on YouTube, and while I’m a fan of hers, I felt it was fairly weak. She peaked with one of her first lines: “You’re all so famous, so talented, so powerful — I mean, you could really do anything except tell the country who to vote for”. Bring back Ricky Gervais’s brutal jabs. &nbsp,

    I’m going to take the lazy route and let other people summarize the rest of the Golden Globes for you since I don’t have much to say about it. &nbsp,

    So, this happened. &nbsp,

    This seems to be the general consensus. &nbsp,

    ” Conclave” earned several nominations and won the award for” Best Screenplay”. What Megyn Kelly had to say about it, below.

    And finally, there’s” Emilia Pérez”, the winner of” Best Picture”. &nbsp, I’ll let the X posts do the talking on this one ( language warning in one of them ): &nbsp,
