After Ben Whishaw’s victory, I seriously thought Hugh Grant would win! It could had been slightly more fair, I guess. But there is indeed a lot of politics behind awards and remember, Golden Globes are one of the worst offenders when we talk about doing “politics” behind scenes!

I honestly don’t know what BC has to do to win an award. He seems destined to always be a nominee but never a winner. Olivia Coleman on the other hand seems to just have to turn up to win an award. I just don’t get it. I think she is exactly the same in everything she does and a fairly average actress. Mind you I don’t really rate Meryl Streep either so my. “Award Radar” is obviously seriously deficient. 😀 Well, Richard Madden sent presents to all HFPA members and he not only got nominated but won. That is what you have to do to win: kiss their asses sending presents and going to their brunches. Sometimes the producers do the gifting.

I liked Bodyguard and thought that Richard Madden was cute, but there really wasn’t anything award-winning about his performance.

I do believe I'll see a day when he will win again. He's too much of a talent and IMO is just hitting his prime in that reguard, do I will remain hopeful. 😁 And I will never get blaise or discouraged about BC getting nominated for any award. The nominations always thrill me. I think it is always a honour unto itself getting chosen out of all the performances out there.

Oh I love the fact that he gets nominated so often. I honestly think it’s pretty much as good as winning since the nominees get nearly as much publicity. And after the awards lots of people don’t even remember who won! I have no idea who won the Oscars last year. I never watch award shows ( I hate the excruciating scripted “banter” and speeches) but I do read about who’s been nominated.
But it WOULD be nice if BC won every once in a while. 😀

It was good to see that no one particular show or movie swept all the awards. I like it when the awards are spread out. That way, even if they don’t win, they still feel like they had a real shot at it - as opposed to when a show starts winning every category and there’s no reason to even hope for an exception.
I’m already tired of reading that Lady Gaga was “robbed” and should have won the acting award last night. We all know that only one robbed was Benedict. Ha!

If there are articles that BC was 'robbed', that is probably better publicity for the show than actually winning. Still hoping for that Region 1 DVD release.

I’m beginning to have panic attacks thinking about if my cable box ever goes out and I have to replace it. There goes Patrick and ACIT. Noooooo! They really need to release PM on dvd (and those other formats I don’t understand, lol).
