2016 Golden Globe Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 16:00:00 +0000

It used to be, in years past, that the big winners at the Golden Globes were often in sync with the Oscars that followed and could be considered a strong predictor.

As per tradition, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Razzies both continued to demonstrate their ever-growing irrelevance.

‘Birdman’ Review: Keaton Soars

Philip Brown — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 19:00:20 +0000
