2017 Golden Globes Open Post: hosted by Justin Timberlake’s unstoppable feelings

FFN_RIJ_BAFTA_TEA_010717_52275606

Our annual Golden Globes Open Post is hosted by none other than Justin Timberlake, for his months and months of hustling. This is his reward, because I honestly don’t think he’s going to win any actual awards/rewards for his stupid and awful “Can’t Stop the Feeling” song from Trolls. Justin did voice work and music for Trolls, and he got a Globe nomination for Best Song. He’s widely expected to get an Oscar nomination for it too, although I would love it if he was snubbed for even a nomination, much less the big awards. These are photos of Justin flying solo at the BAFTA tea party on Saturday. Where’s Jessica Biel? Hopefully she’s attending the Globes with him tonight. Fingers crossed for some bad bangs trauma!

Justin is up against “City of Stars” from La La Land (a favorite to win, according to the Gold Derby), “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana (Lin-Manuel Miranda, peeps!!), “Faith” from Sing, and “Gold” from Gold. While “Can’t Stop the Feeling” was a true top-40 hit, the song is absolutely the worst and I’m hopeful that we will see Justin’s gracious-loser face tonight. Please let it happen!

Jimmy Fallon is the host of this year’s Golden Globes so it’s either going to be an alcohol-soaked mess or he’s going to make people play stupid games the whole time, or who knows? I bet he does something with Justin Timberlake. Ugh. I just realized that will probably happen. I wish Tina Fey and Amy Poehler would have come back to host, but we can’t have nice things. I would have paid real money to hear Tina and Amy’s Trump jokes. Instead, I bet Fallon will stay apolitical.

As for the rest of it… E!’s Golden Globes red carpet show starts at 6 pm and you can download an app for it here. Celebitchy and I will be tweeting throughout the red carpet and the show, and you can follow CB here @Celebitchy, and you can follow me @KaiseratCB. We’ll have full Globes coverage starting bright and early tomorrow morning!

    Hate that song. More like a corny commercial song ! Best song ?!nooo way !some of these artists have devoted fans that no matter how much their songs suck they will be played on and on.. and on

  2. Stephanie says:

    I really didn’t appreciate Jimmy Fallon’s Globes joke about the winners Russia voted for. Haha? Putin gave us Trump! Remember how funny that was?

    • Robin says:

      No, he didn’t, he really didn’t. ZERO evidence of hacking of or interference in the actual election. Maybe the DNC (which is NOT the government) should have had better cyber-security.

      • Bread and Circuses says:

        Funny, that’s not what all of the US intelligence agencies said.

        One thing they DID say is that both the DNC and the RNC were hacked by the Russians, but they only “leaked” DNC data.

        Which means they can now blackmail Republicans in power.

      • Tate says:

        @Bread That is exactly right. Putin has Trump and the RNC by the balls. No American should be happy about that. We are in for a world of hurt.

      • lightpurple says:

        @Robin, please get your information from somewhere other than Donald Trump’s Twitter account. And yes, you are practically quoting him word for word.

        @BreadandCircuses, I think that blackmail started a few months ago. I think McConnell and Trump have folded

      • Cassiopeia says:

        zero evidence? you mean alot of evidence

      • Marley says:

        @Tate: I think hacked RNC emails would be a bigger problem for the RNC establishment than they would be for Trump, as the RNC insiders were probably conspiring against him. Trump’s real problem is that he wants to align himself with Putin but is under a heap of pressure to impose sanctions on Russia.

    • Arpeggi says:

      No, the Electoral College gave you (and the rest of the world, sadly) Trump. Putin definitely tried to interfere in the campaign, the Russians hacked the DNC (and, likely, the RNC), but they didn’t actually do any tempering of the votes. In the end, the majority of voters in some key States voted for Trump and so we’re stuck with him, even if the majority didn’t want him.

      • Marley says:

        95 million people didn’t want either of them. I hope the next Democrat candidate is a harder target than Clinton. Preferably someone who doesn’t accept corporate donations and is anti-war and pro-union.

      • Kori says:

        Part of the tactic was the depression of votes (ie getting people to stay home or cast a protest vote) through the released info. It wasn’t just hacking but also carefully placed propaganda. Putin’s fingerprints are all over this in Europe too and with the BREXIT vote. The head of British intelligence even spoke out so we are not alone in saying this. Vanity Fair had a good article on the Trump’s campaign of depressing votes through fake news, etc spearheaded by Jared Kushner. This was still when it was thought the end game was a Trump news organization and the groundwork was being laid. Google it on vanity fair.com if you’re interested. I think it’s something like Is Jared Kushner Trump’s Evil Genius? Or something like that.

  3. Locke Lamora says:

    Jimmy Fallon is the worst talk show host in the history of talk show hosts. This will probably be awful. It might be even worse than Ellen’s host gig at the Oscars a couple of years ago, and that’s hard to beat.

  4. Locke Lamora says:

    Kristen Bell looks amazing. Tracee Ellis Ross too, but I wish her dress wasn’t see trough. Lily Collins’ dress is way too princessy.

    • Lightpurple says:

      I like Lily’s dress but she is wearing too much red makeup.

      Can’t figure out what Drew Barrymore’s dress is doing.

    • Carmen says:

      Best looks of the night: Any Adams, Sarah Paulson, Naomi’s Harris. Thandie Newton, Felicity Huffman and Viola Davis.

      Kerry Washington looked a fright as per usual. I don’t know why she can’t get it together.

  5. Margo S. says:

    Justin is so embarrassing and ugh, he’s totally going to do a duet with Jimmy….

  6. Lady D says:

    Love the lack of comments on JT.

  7. Locke Lamora says:

    Currently best dressed – Ruth Negga. She looks stunning.

  8. Sam says:

    Some of these dresses are hideous. I just don’t understand.

    Natalie Portman’s dress color is ugly. Amy Adams dress looks so cheap.

    So far I’m disappointed.

  9. Bex says:

    I love Can’t Stop the Feeling. I know, I know. Objectively it’s terrible but it makes me dance every time. I’m so sorry.

    Ruth Negga looks like a futuristic princess. She looks amazing.

  10. Locke Lamora says:

    Michelle Williams looks amazing. I love the choker.

    I am surprised by how many good looks there are tonight. Very different from last year.

    But what in God’s name is Felicity Jones wearing? Why?

  11. Lightpurple says:

    I can’t figure out Janelle Monaie’s crazy dress.but she is a gorgeous woman

  12. Sam says:

    Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are so annoying. I’m so happy her dress is hideous.

  13. Marley says:

    The complaints about Fallon and Timberlake will pale into insignificance on this site If Casey Affleck and Mel Gibson collect awards.

  14. Abbess Tansy says:

    I actually like some of the looks I’m seeing so far. My favorites so far are Tracie Ellis Ross, Natalie Portman, Winona Ryder, Evan Rachel Wood, Janelle Monae.

    Not feeling Kerry Washington or Nicole Kidman.

  15. Lightpurple says:

    Evan Rachel Wood’s homage to Bowie, Dietrich, and Victor/Victoria is fabulous

    • hnmmom says:

      Sitting next to my 11 year old daughter and we gave a big high 5 at the “dresses are not required” part. Evan looks beautiful.

    • Marley says:

      You just reminded me that this year’s in memorandum tribute at the Oscars is going to be a long one. 😐

  16. Bex says:

    Viola Davis looks unbelievably good.

  17. lucy2 says:

    I cannot deal with the idea of Timberlake getting an Oscar nomination. Please no. Though i imagine everyone would vote for LMM anyway.

    I usually watch the red carpet shows, but this year I think I’ll just look online for the fashion photos. And I have no real interest in watching Jimmy Fallon.

    ETA Gwendolyn Chrisite, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Regina King look divine. I would LOVE Tracee’s if it weren’t see through. I kind of like Mandy Moore’s dress too.

  18. hnmmom says:

    Glad to see Winona Ryder but she is wearing my prom dress from 1986.

  19. Adrien says:

    Loving Ruth Negga and Gina Rodrigues.
    I had a mini heart attack seeing Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal being each other’s dates. You better win Gael, if only for us to see Diego’s reaction.

  20. Sam says:

    So when Ryan Reynolds did his interview, Blake Lively chilled in the background talking to Chrissy and John Legend.

    When Justin Timberlake did his interview, Jessica’s thirsty self was front and center.

    Here I thought Blake would be more thirsty of the two but I’ve been proven wrong. Then again is anyone more thirsty than the Timberlakes? No.

    • Locke Lamora says:

      Well, when John did his interview Chrissy was next to him. On the stairs no less because she/they always have to be extra.

      I’d say Justin is thirstier than John, but Chrissy is way thirstier than Jessica.

    • Kate says:

      I’d say same level of thirst, but Lively is capable of getting a lot of attention on her own. Biel only gets attention when Justin is by her side.

  21. Almondjoy says:

    The person interviewing Pharrell said he was nominated for “Hidden Fences” 😩 How embarrassing. Two separate movies, lady!

    Naomie Harris 😍

    • kri says:

      Hi Almondjoy..long time no see..I just came to love on Naomie too…,so FAB. Enjoy the show, CB friends..:)

      • Almondjoy says:

        Hi Kri! Yes it’s been far too long.. needed a break but I can’t resist award’s show coverage. Hope all is well with you 😘

    • Lightpurple says:

      Naomi’s looks amazing. Best look of the night.

    • Shark Bait says:

      It was George W. Bush’s daughter Jenna! Michael Keaton said Hidden Fences too while presenting!

      • Almondjoy says:

        I heard him! So Ridiculous!

        Check #GoldenGlobesErrors on Twitter. Black Twitter is at it again lol

      • lightpurple says:

        Is that who that moron was? I swear she made a mistake with everyone she interviewed but when she totally botched the name of that movie while clutching his shoulder so he couldn’t move! How does she have a job?

    • Agnes's Mom says:

      @Almond Joy…That was ex-first daughter Jenna Bush Hager talking to Pharrell.

  22. Lightpurple says:

    Brie Lawson’s style is much improved. Probably helps that she isn’t commuting from Vietnam.

    Naomi’s Harris is stunning. Jessica Chastein’s dress is lovely

  23. Stephanie says:

    Vince Vaughn is still a goddamn smoke show and he’s how old? I’d climb that like a tree.

  24. Mia4S says:

    Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal have already won the night. Pack it up everyone, time to go home! 😉

    So gorgeous…

    • detta says:

      I just come here to check out the dresses first impressions and you give the links to this?!?! Now whatever happens it can only be downhill from here – how can anything get possibly better? Especially not with that host and some of the nominees… Wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch the whole thing, but now feel tempted to just to see if the camera will capture these two at one point. Oh and Riz Ahmed on tv just now, he looks swell.

    • Lightpurple says:

      Yum!

    • teacakes says:

      I really wish I’d been watching, if only to see them together. They have this unholy tendency to turn me back into the squealing teenager I was when I first encountered them ♡♡♡♡♡♡

      (and also I have so much envy of their lifelong friendship, it almost hurts)

  25. Chaine says:

    Justin looks like he is wearing a toupee…

  26. M.A.F. says:

    That opening was too long. I muted it twice, full mute when Timberlake showed up. Fallon was must be gunning for that Oscar gig. Heaven help us.

  27. Lightpurple says:

    Wow! Shocked by Aaron Taylor Johnson’s win. I think he’s stunned too.

    • Mia4S says:

      Kind of unfortunate since the director of his movie got called out for inappropriate gifts to the Hollywood Foreign Press. Not the actor’s fault but makes the win even more side-eye worthy than the Golden Globe wins usually are. He’s not getting an Oscar nomination. The Globes are so weird!!

      • Bridget says:

        It was an extra bottle of perfume, which likely at cost was way under the gifts $ limit. If you thinks that’s all it takes to sway the Globes voters, I’d suggest readin up more because they’re used to some serious bribery.

      • Mia4S says:

        Oh I know @Bridget, I just mean that the story about the gift giving is out there (saw it on Twitter when he won) so that narrative can unfortunately overshadow the PR boost….which is all the Globes really are. It won’t hurt him in any way except perhaps putting focus on the “gifts” rather than the fact that he was pretty good.

    • Lucy2 says:

      I didn’t like that movie so much, but he was really good in it. I would’ve preferred the nomination and win go to Michael Shannon though.

  28. Marty says:

    I’m seeing A LOT of sequins tonight.

  29. Miss V says:

    Okay, but where is Jake Gyllenhaal?

    • M.A.F. says:

      He is there. Tumblr is wonderful for pointing that out. Seems he bypassed the red carpet.

  30. mee says:

    Very happy about Lala land wins for music and City of Stars. Rooting for Gosling and Stone to win their categories.

  31. Abbess Tansy says:

    Yeesss…. Atlanta!

  32. Bonzo says:

    With Hugh & Olivia’s wins, Tom’s chances of a globe are looking better.

    The foreign markets did really love TNM…

  33. Antigone says:

    Goldie Hawn’s facelift is very obvious.

  34. VegasSchmagus says:

    somewhere in the world, Mel Gibson’s next wife is just being born…………

  35. Miss M says:

    Diego was speaking in Spanish…Swoon!

    • Mia4S says:

      List of people who should NOT have the mic at awards shows:

      1. Hiddleston
      2. Amy Schumer
      3. Jimmy Fallon!!

      Those who absolutely should have the mic:
      1.Hugh Laurie and Viola Davis
      2. Kristen Wiig and Steve Carrell
      3. Diego Luna in any language he wants!!!

    • Adrien says:

      He is BOSS! He told them to Shut up in Spanish like nobody’s business, no political statement etc. then proceeded to award the best screenplay to Lala land also in Spanish. You can hear Gina Rodriguez shouting, “Yeah!” in the background. Just like Gal Gadot, he used his accent in a nonchalant fashion. Now compare that to Sophia Vergara’s stereotypical jokes about English mispronunciations. Diego is still a Hollywod outsider even with Rogue One’s success. Sophia is a household name. How could she participate in that?

  36. Miss M says:

    Go Hiddles!

    • Mia4S says:

      Over Courtney B Vance, Bryan Cranston and Riz Ahmed?!?!?

      Hahahahahahahhaha! Oh please!

      Never change Golden Globes, never change! 🙄

      • Miss Grace Jones says:

        I’m actually…really pissed he won over Riz.

      • Miss M says:

        I know… And to top it off…the cringy speech… Loved it! Lol

      • Bonzo says:

        Yeah, he didn’t deserve it. But aren’t the GGs more about popularity and ratings?

        He sure blew his 2 minutes with that self-congratulatory speech.

      • Sixer says:

        I have to ask… is the speech just plain bad (in which case I won’t watch)? Or is it hilarious bad (in which case I’ll watch. More than once).

    • HappyMom says:

      He was kind of meh-in Night Manager. Courtney B. Vance all day/every day for his performance.

  37. detta says:

    Haha, Hiddles has won indeed! Can’t find fault with it, I liked TNM and Olivia won so I am fine with it. Diego presenting was the best though. 😉

  38. Elizabeth says:

    I’d love to know what Naomie was thinking during Tom Hiddleston’s speech. Because it looked like, “For the love of god, shut up and get off the stage!”

    • Mia4S says:

      Oh my god! I was just kidding around in my earlier comment but my god Hiddleston, that was both obnoxious and embarrassing! Who advises him!? Twitter is already mocking him.

    • Yogapants says:

      Alas, I was thinking the same thing. Much as I love his work, he gives me too much second-hand embarrassment.

    • Miss M says:

      She was not having… Christian Slate was lost trying to understand what point Tom Wanted to make…lol

      • Emily C. says:

        I still have a massive crush on Christian Slater, a holdover from my teen years and Pump Up the Volume. And I love that look he gave. Sort of like one you’d give a 14-year old trying really really hard, but making a fool of themselves. Like, you want to be nice, but you can’t pretend.

    • Bonzo says:

      He’s being mocked on Twitter for it… Lainey had a zinger of a post:

      https://twitter.com/LaineyGossip/status/818288851827486720

      There’s plenty more on the #goldenglobes hash tag.

    • OhDear says:

      Oh dear.

      He was spotted eating with UNICEF people lately, so my guess is that they asked him to give them a shoutout if he won. But… oh dear.

    • Moi44 says:

      Geez Tom. I have to wonder if he he’s not getting better roles, because when he speaks everyone thinks he’s a but of a humblebragging fool.?This is not to say he’s not a nice guy(as everyone who works with him says) but doesn’t mean deep down you’re not a jerk. That being said he’s still one of my faves. #notthefirsttimehescomeacrosspretentious

  39. Hummus says:

    What the hell was that speech by Tom Hiddleston??? It was so self absorbed omg he thinks by providing relief for aid workers in Sudan that he is by extension doing aid work, that’s legit his train of thought

    I love that when the camera pans to the audience hardly anyone was clapping, and Vince vaughans side eye was epic!

    • mee says:

      he’s kind of clueless.

    • Lightpurple says:

      Vaughn made the same face through Streep’s speech. Vaughn is somewhere to the right of Paul Ryan so being side-eyed by him might become a liberal badge of honor

    • OhDear says:

      That actually made me sad/disappointed on multiple levels* – both the speech itself (which I personally think was his being awkward) and the fact that image-wise, he couldn’t afford to mess up after last summer’s shenanigans.

      [insert Tyra Banks “we were all rooting for you” gif]

      * I know, I know.

    • TotallyBiased says:

      That isn’t what he said, Hummus, but if you’d rather drag him than recognize admiration and support for the real workers…
      This is *also* going around Twitter:
      (Tweeted by Global Goals)
      “Thanks to @UNICEF UK Amb. @twhiddleston for dedicating #GoldenGlobes win to those in the field fighting for justice! “

      • Hummus says:

        He could have dedicated it to UNICEF without making it about him, and how he had lunch with them, and how much joy HE brings them. that’s when it got weird.

    • TotallyBiased says:

      From Geoffrey P Johnston:
      ” Without a doubt, @twhiddleston’s Golden Globes speech has made tens of millions of viewers aware of the looming genocide in South Sudan.”

  40. HeyThere! says:

    Everyone was side eyeing Toms speech. Hilarious. I like that he brought awareness to a good cause but he went there in a weird, timely mess. Just spit it out!

  41. NastyGirl85 says:

    MERYL, I. LOVE. YOU.

  42. Lahdidahbaby says:

    Meryl Streep — courage, integrity, and passion. Speaking truth to Trump. Best moment of the night, hands down.

  43. detta says:

    Meryl Streep’s speech. Hiddles being, well, hilariously Hiddles-esque. Diego Luna and Chris Pine on stage. Now please please HFPA don’t ruin the night by giving an award to Casey Affleck.
    And La La Land hasn’t lost that much ground in the awards race it would appear.

  44. Miss M says:

    Hollywood showing a lot of support to Brad Pitt…

  45. VegasSchmagus says:

    Brad Pitt looks really thin…………….like, not healthy. He looks like he’s hurting.

  46. Lucy2 says:

    Meryl and Viola gave great speeches.
    Casey Affleck, yuck.

  47. Brittney Buckley says:

    DID YOU SEE THAT BS

  48. Patty says:

    Yes! Moonlight. I need Mahershala Ali to step up his campaigning though.

  49. Kate says:

    Brad, Casey, Mel … So much love for such trash. Nate Parker would have fitted right in, I really don’t understand why they didn’t want him. Anyway, never change Hollywood !

  50. Icantremember says:

    You can just absolutely tell Casey Affect is a butthole.

  51. Eric says:

    Meryl RULES!

    Just FYI, Brie Larson looked the best tonight.

  52. Eric says:

    And Fallon stole my King Joffrey! Dang it!

  53. Carmen says:

    Attagirl, Meryl! Burn his a** down!

  54. Kate says:

    Brie looked less than thrilled about Casey’s win, no ?

  55. HappyMom says:

    Is it wrong that I clapped with glee when Timberlake’s song lost?

  56. NastyGirl85 says:

    So proud of my guy, Donald Glover’s wins for Atlanta!! He put out a great album (ala Childish Gambino) and a great show last year! I feel like I grew up watching his career grow since his 30 Rock writing days. 😁

  57. molly says:

    Think it’s disgusting that people like casey affleck are awarded & celebrated. But not suprised when your industry consists of rapists, pedophiles, sexual predators & abusers. All white men who continue to be powerful in this sickening enviroment. If a woman behaved this way her career would be finished but these guys instead get rewards.
