What follows is a funny as hell flurry of improvisational filmmaking, as they wrap themselves in tin foil, use vacuum cleaners and hoses for the Ghostbuster backpacks and tinsel for the beams emanating from their ghost-catching devi
There were also many very funny moments in the film including one scene where Farrell decks a guy he thinks is an American and right afterwards says: "That's for John Lennon."

Humor is still sprinkled throughout after this turn, but when you laugh at this point it's almost more like nervous laughter, just to release the tension of what you're watch
Filmmaker Michel Hazanavicius' black-and-white silent film homage, The Artist , led the way with six Globe nods total; co-writer/helmer Alexander Payne's The Descendants and director Tate Taylor's The Help were close behind.

Steven Spielberg's latest dramatic offering, War Horse , was right behind that pair with three nominations in technical categories; Albert Nobbs also managed to secure three nods, in the areas of acting and original music, while Moneyball landed three for Best Drama, Actor, and Screenp

Hamm won a Golden Globe for his career-making performance as Don Draper back in 2008 and has been nominated four times since (including this year). He finally took home a much-deserved and overdue Emmy earlier this year, and with 2015 bringing about the end of Mad Men (and the show's surprising absence from the Globes in any other category), this feels like a good time to recognize the series one last t
Uzo Aduba is going to win awards for her role on Orange is the New Black for as long as that series is running – or as long as she stays on it. But the thing is, Aduba absolutely deserves the accolades that have been heaped upon her. She has given Suzanne Warren, a character with a nickname like 'Crazy Eyes,' the sort of abundance of character and compassion that transcends such a shallow moni

What matters Click To See More the Academy is that people were tuning in to their s
The owner of the store has always told Mike that Fats Waller was born in the building and grew up around the neighborhood. Being that "Fats" is a hero of Mike's, they decide to create an original movie about the man's l
Rami Malek was fantastic in Mr. Robot and there's reason to guess he might take home the award (look below), but Hamm made Don Draper such a rich and interesting character for seven seasons, it's hard to think that he hasn't earned another nod for his contribution to one of the best television series in hist
This year, some expected that trend to continue, with the ultra-likable Neil Patrick Harris drawing the host gig for the 2015 Oscars show. However, moviegoers weren't all that interested in seeing Barney Stinson celebrate the year in film, as the awards broadcast scored the lowest ratings in quite some t
