Best Moments of the 72nd Golden Globes + Full List of Winners
Last night’s 72nd Annual Golden Globes were filled with surprising wins. Boyhood, Birdman and Transparent had an exceptionally good night– taking home the most awards.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the show for the last time, scoring some help from a North Korean Margaret Cho dressed in military attire. The North Korean was introduced as the newest member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and next years host.

Their 10-minute opening monologue consisted of some great and not-so-good jokes. Poehler and Fey joked that this years Golden Globes were a celebration of all the movies North Korea was okay with, going on to say that the scandal surrounding The Interview forced all of us to pretend we actually cared about the movie. Preach on.
One of the jokes that got the loudest reaction surrounded the Bill Cosby sexual allegations scandal. Poehler joked that “Sleeping Beauty” thought she was going only going to get coffee with Bill Cosby, which prompted some claps and some boos.
Chicago also won big at this years award (which as a Chicagoan I’m super proud of).
Transparent writer and producer Jill Soloway dedicated the shows “Best Television Series” award to Leelah Alcorn, the teenage girl who committed suicide earlier this month.

Gina Rodriguez of Jane the Virgin took home The CW’s first-ever Golden Globe for “Actress in a Best TV Comedy.” The shock was felt throughout the room as Rodriguez ran to the stage completely baffled. In an emotional speech–which brought us to tears right along with her–she thanked her cast members and her family.
This reward is so much more than myself. it represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes. My father used to tell me to say every morning to myself it’s a great day. I can and I will. Well Dad, today’s a great day. I can and I did.”
This is your year Gina! Who knew Jane the Virgin–a telenovela about a pregnant virgin–would make such big moves beating out actresses Julia Louis Dreyfus and Taylor Schilling for Orange is the New Black. As a huge CW fan, I couldn’t be more proud!

Chicago-native Common and John Legend took home the award for “Best Original Score” for their song Glory in the MLK biopic Selma. Even though the movies events take place years ago, Common’s speech really spoke to what was happening in our world today, making it one of the most emotional and moving speeches of the night.
“As I got to know the people of the Civil Rights Movement, I realized I am the hopeful black woman who was denied her right to vote. I am the caring white supporter who was killed on the front lines of freedom. I am the unarmed black kid who maybe needed a hand but instead was given a bullet. I am the two fallen police officers, murdered in the line of duty. ‘Selma’ has awakened my humanity.”
The 50 Shades of Grey stars made their first appearance together and honestly, the chemistry just wasn’t there. You know how when you ship a couple and they just have that spark? Well, that’s what makes the movie or the show that much better. For this reason, my excitement for the Valentine’s day movie totally fell, even with the new trailer released during the show.

Everwood’s John Beasley has passed away.
The actor was best known for his role as Irv Harper on the WB drama that aired from 2002 through 2006. He also served as the show’s narrator.
He was 79.
His son confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter noting that his father died in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.
He was reportedly undergoing tests on his liver, though it’s unclear if that’s related to his death. A cause of death was not immediately announced.
His acting credits include Early Edition, Millennium, Judging Amy, The Soul Man, and appearances on hits like The Resident, NCIS, and Your Honor.
As for films, those include The Mighty Ducks, Rudy, The Sum of All Fears, Walking Tall and The Purge: Anarchy, with his final role in 2022’s Firestarter.
Everwood starred Emily van Camp, Gregory Smith, Chris Pratt, Tom Amandes, Debra Mooney, and Treat Williams. You can stream episodes of the hit by renting or purchasing the series on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Instant Video, and Vudu
RIP John.
Are you ready for Flight 828 to make its final descent?
On April 7, Netflix revealed the release date for the second half of the plane drama, along with a new teaser trailer to hold fans over.
Manifest Season 4 Part 2—all 10 episodes—will land on the streamer on Friday, June 2, 2023. For those that are keeping score, it’s a year ahead of the June 2, 2024 Death Date (so does this mean they find a way to beat it?!).
Netflix typically releases new episodes at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time, which means it will drop at 3:00 am Eastern and 2:00 am CT.
And according to the teaser trailer, things are just as ominous as we expected when we saw the final shot of Season 4 Part 1 of Angelina bringing forth destruction via volcanic fissures.
“The world is ending and we know when,” Josh Dallas’ Ben Stone remarks in the trailer as everyone emphasizes June 2 numerous times.
Here’s the full synopsis for the forthcoming final set of episodes.
“A mysterious accident delivers ominous warnings on a biblical scale that will further jeopardize the livelihood of all the passengers,” the synopsis reads. “As Michaela [Melissa Roxburgh] grieves the loss of her beloved husband Zeke [Matt Long], she must team up with her old flame Jared [J.R. Ramirez] to find new methods to investigate Callings.”
The end may be near, but there’s still plenty of story left to tell—and we hope that they do right by the ending, giving a satisfactory conclusion to longtime fans who have rallied behind the series from day 1 when it was still on NBC.
Catch up on all of our Manifest reviews leading up to the final season right here.

Per TVLine, the season will consist of another 10 episodes!
For those who need a bit of a refresher, there’s plenty of drama that we’re going to dive right into. At the end of season 2, it was revealed that Bill is Isaac’s father (a bombshell revelation if I’m being honest), Noreen gave birth to her daughter and decided to stay in Serenity, Dana Sue decided to give Ronnie another shot, Helen suffered a miscarriage before cozying up to Erik and getting proposed to by true love Ryan, and finally, a bump in the road for Maddie and Cal’s relationship following his angry outburst.
