Your Golden Globes Video Highlights
Tales of revenge and survival were your two big best picture winners, while an old favorite, 40-years his past his prime (in boxing terms, that is) won for best supporting actor. It was a night filled with some genuinely earnest (and wonderful) acceptance speeches, sprinkled amid the usual louche behavior of an irreverent host and some tippled guests. Let's take a look at the highlights.
The night began with host Ricky Gervais opening the show by thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press for the opportunity to host again,...

The Perfect Drink For Each Golden Globe Best Motion Picture Drama Nominee
The Hollywood elite will be sipping this year’s official signature cocktail, the “Moet Ruby Red,” which combines Moet & Chandon Champagne, raspberry, tarragon and lemon (we mere mortals can join them by substituting a less costly Prosecco or Cava). As another option for your Golden Globes gathering may we suggest a nominee inspired cocktails.
The bartenders at Where to Watch have put together a suggestion for each of this year’s Best Motion Picture Drama contenders...
The Golden Globes Menu: Eat Like a Star
The award season is officially kicking off this Sunday, January 10th, with the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards. The question is not only who will win, but what to serve? As we are all still recovering from New Year’s (and our short-lived health resolutions), it is tough to come up with just the right offering for our very sated guests.
The chefs at the Beverly Hilton Hotel share your dilemma. They have announced the menu that will be placed in front of Hollywood’s elite...
The Mechanics Behind the Magic of Anomalisa
Watching Anomalisa, Charlie Kaufman’s first theatrical effort since Synecdoche, New York seven years ago, it’s hard to shake the impression that you’re watching something wholly unique. Built around a simple enough concept: the exploration of a man’s midlife crisis and extra-marital affair, Anomalisa’s stop-motion puppet animation and meticulously built approach makes the film far more astonishing than it might look on paper. The world of the film is surprisingly banal: a plush but generally pedestrian hotel serves as the center for the majority of the film’s action,...
Disney’s The Jungle Book Triptych Poster
Walt Disney Pictures all-new live-action/CGI remake of their classic, The Jungle Book will be swinging into theaters in RealD 3D and IMAX® 3D on April 15, 2016.
A gorgeous new triptych poster for The Jungle Book has been released by IGN. The first two panels were revealed individually on Tuesday and Wednesday, but now we get to see the complete poster in all its' detailed glory. The first panel to the left teases King Louie (voiced by Christopher Walken) and the serpent Kaa (voiced by Scarlett Johansson)...
Get to Know Your Golden Globe Nominees for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy
Earlier we published a primer for the Golden Globe nominees for Best Motion Picture, Drama. The idea here is while you probably haven't had the time to see all these films, we have, and we've also interviewed a ton of people from them, thus offering you a chance to give these interviews a glance and bolster your film IQ going into the big night. You can do with this info what you want—we suggest you use it to casually mention minute details of the filmmaking process to whoever you might be watching with...
Get to Know Your Golden Globe Nominees for Best Motion Picture, Drama
With the Golden Globes airing this Sunday night, we figured we'd put together a little hyperlinked primer for you. Unless your job it is to know how these films are actually made, chances are you've seen some, missed others, and know who the bold faced names are. With that in mind, and to shed a little light on the folks behind the stars you'll be watching during the broadcast, we've rounded up the interviews we've done over the past year with the below-the-liners who helped make these movies...
Spotlight’s Editor Tom McArdle Helps Make Journalism Look Thrilling
People pour over files, excel spreadsheets, and names in a directory. There's phone calls, and more phone calls, and some face-to-face meetings. There's a late hour knock on a nervous journalist's door, and it reveals…a colleague bearing a pizza. These are some of the things editor Tom McArdle was cutting when he worked on Spotlight, and in each instance, the scenes are thrilling. The film, centered on a team of Boston Globe investigative reporters who uncover a massive coverup of sexual abuse at the Catholic archdiocese of Boston in the early aughts,...
The Hateful Eight‘s Makeup Dept. Head on Making Pretty People Ugly
Makeup department head Heba Thorisdottir has been working with Quentin Tarantino since Kill Bill: Vol 1, and hasn't missed one of his movies since. With The Hateful Eight, she might have just put in her most impressive work yet, tending to the grizzled faces of characters living hard lives in the late 19th century, none more so than Jennifer Jason Leigh's sociopathic, bloody-faced Daisy Domergue. We spoke with the Icelandic makeup maestro about what it was like working on Tarantino's claustrophobic,...
The End of Girls, Mad Max: Fury Road‘s Big Win & More
Here's what's happening in the world film that we're reading about today.
First, have you checked out our interview with The Hateful Eight's makeup department head Heba Thorisdottir? Not yet? Well here you go.
Speaking of The Hateful Eight, Vulture sat down with Walton Goggins, who talks in similar familial terms to Thorisdottir when discussing working on a Tarantino film.
Variety's film critics have selected their nominees for the Academy Awards...
The Ratter Trailer Depicts Your Worst Tech Nightmare
Sony Pictures dropped the first trailer for Ratter, a nasty little piece of business that takes our dependency on technology and makes it terminal. Ratter stars Pretty Little Liars' Ashley Benson as a graduate student living in her first New York apartment (don't dwell on the fact the apartment looks incredible and would cost an ungodly sum), loving the city and her new life, until a stalker uses all the technology that keeps her connected to the world to terrorize her...
I Like the Way You Die, Boy: Tarantino’s 8 Best Villains
It’s no secret that professional provocateur Quentin Tarantino has one of the most twisted minds in the business, spawning some of the most vile (and violent) characters to ever exist on screen, with quirks and sadism aplenty.
Perhaps more unsettling is the knowledge that Tarantino’s cinematic worlds intersect, which means that Reservoir Dogs’ psychotic Mr. Blonde has ties to the menacing pawn shop owners Maynard and Zed of Pulp Fiction,...
The Martian’s Screenwriter Drew Goddard on Adapting What he Loves
The Martian began its life with a cult following on the internet, then became a bestseller and ended up as one of the biggest movies of the 2015, directed by Ridley Scott and starring Matt Damon. Screenwriter Drew Goddard (World War Z) talks to The Credits about adapting Andy Weir’s page turner about surviving being stranded on Mars, handing over the directing reins to Scott and telling Weir it was time to quit his day job...
John Boyega & Brie Larson get BAFTA Noms, Ricky Gervais on Hosting the Globes & More
Your 2016 Golden Globes host, Ricky Gervais, has notoriously used his previous Globes gigs to lampoon (or eviscerate, depending upon your perspective) everyone from Hollywood royalty to the universally loved Steve Carrell (this bit was hilarious—he roasted Carrell for being so "amazing" on The Office, a show he created). Gervais has routinely blasted the Globes itself, like in this quip; "For any of you who don't know, the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars, but without all that esteem."...
ACE Eddie Award Noms Announced, a Stormtrooper Legend is Born & More
Here's some of the news in film that we're reading today from around the Interwebs.
At the 13-second mark in the below The Force Awakens teaser (which yes, we know you've likely already seen), you'll see that super aggressive Stormtrooper with the wild lightsaber-defying weapon called a Z6 riot control baton. You remember him, he's the one who calls Finn a TRAITOR and challenges him to a pretty great, if brief, duel. That Stormtrooper apparently has a name now (TR-8R),...
Check out The Force Awakens Cinematographer Dan Mindel’s Amazing Photos
Cinematographer Dan Mindel worked with J.J. Abrams on the reboot for Star Trek, and again on Star Trek: Into Darkness, and even as eagerly anticipated as those films were to Trekkies the world over, his work on The Force Awakens was going to be scrutinized to a degree an order of magnitude higher. Now that the film has been a critical and commercial smash, Mindel's released a few photos from behind-the-scenes of the shoot...
Chatting With Joy‘s Production Designer Judy Becker
Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and writer/director David O. Russell join forces again to tell the rags to riches story of Joy, a woman who built an empire on a clever design for a mop. We talk to production designer Judy Becker, who, like Lawrence and Cooper, also worked on Russell’s films Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, about being part of the Russell filmmaking family, how she was inspired by the Wizard of Oz and why she relished the chance to go full Dynasty when she was creating the set of the soap opera. ...
Learn from Leo: Bear Safety Tips, per The Revenant
The award for the biggest and baddest Christmas Day opening this year will likely go to Alejandro Iñárritu’s doomy, Leonardo DiCaprio-led, frontier Western, The Revenant. Based loosely on events that befell Hugh Glass, an early 20th century explorer and trapper, the film depicts in realistically gritty detail Glass’s South Dakota excursion in which he was mauled by a grizzly bear, left for dead by his men, and dragged himself around 80 miles (which, in various retellings of this real-life legend,...
