The Golden Globes were announced on social media — and that's it. No host, no broadcast, no stars, no ceremony. Just ... tweets.

Yet, it was the most entertaining awards show in years, clearly run by an intern whose grasp on the English language was enough to be impressive, and not enough to be, well, fluent.

The Golden Globes avoided giving statues to Lady Gaga in 2019 and now Jennifer Lopez in 2020, seemingly moving away from the org's penchant for rewarding glitzy stars making breakthrough performances.
But then they went with Brad Pitt and Taron Egerton.
Will be interesting to see how the wins affect Oscar nominations — which are still happening, but which close this week.

After the jump, a fascinating 90-minute roundtable featuring all five directors of the films nominated for Foreign-Language Film in tonight's Golden Globes.
It's great to see all five nominees, especially in a year where foreign-language films are indisputably among the best films of the year overall.
