As Hollywood studios continue to see movie after movie fIop with audiences who want to be entertained by a compelling storyline rather than preached to by woke directors or shown CGI slop with no reaI plot, the Golden Globes this year were yet another humiliating disaster for the entertainment industry.
In fact, even sympathetic media outIets torched the Golden Globes, saying that they were mostly a disaster this year.
This year’s flop of a Golden Globes event was particularly bad for the industry given that, having been taken over from NBC by CBS, it was meant to be something of a reboot for the awards party and bring back a show generally known over the past few years for its declining ratings, if anything.
But rather than a revivaI, it was another flop for Hollywood, with even generally sympathetic media outlet Vanity Fair running a review of the event titled, The 2024 Golden Globes Were a Near-Total Disaster. Continuing, that review went on to describe host Jo Koy’s lengthy opening monologue as a horrid, sophomoric mishmash of lazy jokes” that didn’t elicit much laughter, a problem exacerbated by Koy being mostly unknown.
Similarly, the Iess sympathetic New York Post tore into the event as being a new low for an already troubled show, with a review article titled, Golden Globes 2024 were a new low for dying awards shows. Pulling no punches, the NYP article argued that it would have been better to cancel the event than run one so awful, saying:
Preparing for the 2024 Golden Globes, the awards show made a bunch of reforms to its ethically wobbIy voting body, got a new owner and moved to a different network. But none of those PR efforts matter much when the broadcast turns out as godawful as Sunday night’s did.
If only we’d 100% canceled the Globes when we had the chance.
Conservatives on X were simiIarly harsh. Washington Examiner personality Tim Young, for example, tore into the Golden Globes with a vengeance and said, “The Golden Globes had trash ratings… Perhaps people don’t want to tune in to woke, unfunny jokes about how white people are evil. Maybe their host should lecture at Harvard… I’m sure he’d be a hit there.”
Other posters noted that Jo Koy was a terrible host, saying things Iike “#GoldenGlobes Jo Koy is a terrible comedian, watching him tell jokes is so excruciating” and “i turned on the golden globes and had to turn it off bc the host is terrible.”
What Catches Your Attention Right Away?
Optical illusions have long fascinated us because they draw our attention and pose intriguing questions that are occasionally left unanswered.
These arresting images not only grab our attention, but they also lead us on a deeply reflective journey that highlights the subtle differences in our perception.
Our exclusive collection of optical illusions will make you doubt who you think you are. They might share some enlightening details about your background and personality.
What catches your eye first?
This image is potent because it conveys your perspective of both the outside world and who you are. If you are the first person to notice a duck, you are probably a gregarious person who enjoys socializing. You are able to think fast, act fast, and perform effectively under duress.
If you are someone who believes that if you detect a rabbit at first, you should go for it slowly. This suggests that you would like carefully weigh your options before settling on a thought and are reluctant to commit to one.
When you want anything done right, you follow the right procedure. In addition, you are generally a more introverted person than other people. I guess I might characterize myself as an introvert. You place greater value on having a select few close friends than you do on having a vast social network.
Which is it? The Profiled Faces or the Vase?
This optical illusion was created by Danish psychologist and philosopher Edgar John Rubin to aid individuals in understanding their benefits and drawbacks. Having two faces increases your ability to notice even the smallest details and provides you with a natural understanding of a wide range of vocations.
If your attention was initially drawn to the vase, you are the type of person who tends to overlook the little things and is naturally drawn to the bigger picture.
An older man or a young woman?
One of two images may immediately register in your mind. You are a thorough examiner if you see the old man with the big nose peering down. You may find it difficult to apply your critical thinking skill because you have a tendency to overanalyze. This is primarily due to your exceptional emotional awareness and understanding.
The moment you spot the woman turning away, you get impetuous and want to get things done swiftly. You have a unique zest for life since your optimism complements your fearless demeanor.
Which woman—older or younger—do you believe she is?
Your perception of this image may change depending on your age. If you see the girl turning away, you are most likely still young. However, it appears from the older woman’s appearance that you have a great deal of life experience. A study that looked into this phenomenon was published in the academic journal Scholarly Reports.
