The members of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association sure like La La Land, with the movie taking a record seven Golden Globes, more than any other single movie has ever taken. It did so well that the only categories it was eligible for that it didn’t pick up, were the the Supporting Actress and Actor categories – and seeing as the movie is so strongly built around Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, that’s not too much of a surprise.
However, it wasn’t just La La Land at the Globes, as gay-themed drama Moonlight also had some extremely good news, as it took the Best Picture – Drama gong. It means that while La La Land is now the frontrunner for the Best Picture Oscar, Moonlight could cause an upset, having not just taken the Best Drama Globe, but also having won numerous critics association awards. It’s certainly an impressive achievement for a low budget movie that many had thought would go the route of Tangerine – scoring enthusiastic reviews and a lot of love, but getting overlooked by major awards bodies.
The Golden Globe awards were also marked by a lot of concern about the rise of Donald Trump, with Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Limited Series or TV Movie winner Hugh Laurie quipping, “Thank you, first of all, to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this amazing honour. I suppose it’s made more amazing by the fact that I’ll be able to say that I won this at the last ever Golden Globes. I don’t mean to be gloomy. It’s just that it has the words ‘Hollywood,’ ‘foreign,’ and ‘press’ in the title.”
Meryl Streep also gave a pretty epic speech decrying Trump and calling on the arts and the press to hold power to account. You can take a look at it below.
One other thing many couldn’t help noticing was a same sex smooch at the ceremony! After Ryan Gosling beat Ryan Reynolds to the Best Actor – Musical or Comedy gong, Andrew Garfield was spotted planting a big smooch on Reynolds’ lips as Gosling went up for his award. You can take a look at that below too, along with the full list of winners. [Read more…]
Back in August it was revealed that Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting for Holmes and Watson. Now they have some company, as Ralph Fiennes and Hugh Laurie have joined the movie, according to 
Disney is betting big this summer of Tomorrowland (or as they now seem to be trying to call it, Tomorrow Land – A World Beyond) as they’re hoping that it won’t just make a load of money at the box office, but could become a franchise and even help spearhead the rejuvenation of the Tomorrowland section of the Disney theme parks.
While the summer movie season is always jam-packed with sequels and properties that are already well-known, there are always a couple of big movies that don’t have a built in audience trying to hit it big. Tomorrowland is one of those for 2015, as despite being named after a section of Disneyland, it’s a completely original story.
Brad Bird’s upcoming movie for Disney, Tomorrowland, starts shooting next week, but they’re still finalising the cast, with 
After the failure of John Carter and The Lone Ranger, you might think Disney would be shying away from projects that aren’t either animated, sequels or made by Marvel. However they’ve been putting together Tomorrowland, and recently it was rumoured they were eyeing Britt Robertson or Naomi Scott for the female lead role.
Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland is coming together, with George Clooney and Hugh Laurie already set to star, and now
