Jamie Lee Curtis And Arnold Schwarzenegger Were The Only Celebrities Involved With The 2022 Golden Globes Last Night

January 10, 2022 / Posted by:

The 79th Annual Golden Globe Awards were shaping up to be such a sad, unglamorous mess, they might as well have been officially nicknamed the Tinfoil-wrapped Globes. About a week prior to the show, it was rumored that not a single celebrity had agreed to participate in what was very recently one of the most star-studded events on the Hollywood awards show calendar. And as expected, there really weren’t any famous faces involved in the ceremony, except for two. Jamie Lee Curtis showed up in a pre-taped segment for the HFPA’s advocacy work and Arnold Schwarzenegger did a video where he praised the organization for trying to be more diverse. I’d ask what Jamie Lee Curtis is doing involved with such a shit show, but then I remembered her work with Activia yogurt, so navigating a shit-show is kind of in her wheelhouse.

The Golden Globes took place last night at the Beverly Hilton, where they always take place. Except for this year, mounting boycotts from the industry and recent spiked in COVID numbers forced the show to be scaled way down. It wasn’t broadcast anywhere, the red carpet was scrapped, and there were no famous presenters or winners present to accept their awards. Essentially, all the winners were announced on Twitter. Kind of like when you enter a contest and win chicken fries for a year from Burger King. Which is all kinds of crappy for the winners who made history last night, like Pose star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez being the first trans actor to win a Golden Globe for acting (she took home the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Drama). There weren’t really any films or shows that swept the awards. Both West Side Story and The Power of the Dog took home the most awards, with three wins each. Since there were no acceptance speeches, people had to swing on over to social media to see how the winners were feeling:

And as promised, the HFPA planned to use a good chunk of the time of last night’s ceremony to talk about all the ways they’ve changed. But don’t take their word for it. Here’s Jamie Lee Curtis doing the charity act of all charity acts by explaining the good work the Hollywood Foreign Press Association does. She didn’t mention the accusations of racism, or sexism, or the alleged shady practices where HFPA members accept baguettes in exchange for nominations.

And here’s more HPFA damage control, courtesy of Arnold Schwarzenegger:

This year’s Golden Globes still managed to bring that patented messiness they’ve become known for. Except it was all relegated to their Twitter account. Throughout the evening, the Golden Globes Twitter tried to keep things interesting by tweeting the winners in a creative way. It was a bit of a disaster. A whole lot of the tweets sound like they were written by a bot with a stock list of cliches and fun facts. Like this one, congratulating Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell for winning Best Original Song Motion Picture, with lyrics that can’t be found anywhere in the song they won for.

Usually, the Golden Globes are the alcohol-soaked awards, and it’s really a good idea the HFPA didn’t lean into that by encouraging any at-home drinking games. Because I would have been wasted by the third award if I was taking a drink every time the Golden Globes did something to make me ask myself, “Did we really need to do this year?“. And here are all the winners from last night, including Jeremy Strong proving that being an intense weirdo paid off for him with a win for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama:
