The 2024 Golden Globes got off to a shaky start, with host Jo Koy blaming the writing staff for his opening monologue, and it's been a rough road in other ways since. The award show has leaned into the comedy this year, and really went for it with setting up comedic openings to awards with the presenting actors. I'll be candid; it's uncomfortable to watch, and no amount of jokes could offset the awkwardness I'm feeling before the Golden Globes winners are announced.
America Ferrera and Kevin Costner weren't the sole offenders of the evening, but their bit effectively broke the proverbial camel's back on just how hard these celebrity presenter segments were to get through. For the following reasons, I would love it if the Golden Globes and all award shows in the entertainment industry for that matter, start to try less to make us laugh.
