It was cool, but did you cry even once?

Well, awards season 2019 has officially kicked off and we are going to need Hollywood to turn it up.

Don't @ us, Golden Globes, but you weren't the most exciting this year.

Even with all that champagne at the tables.

Awards shows live and die on the strength of their "moments."

And there were not many.

  • Sandra Oh's parents when she won were the cutest, but still.
  • Yes, you pulled a bit of shock out of the hat at the last moment with Glenn Close beating Lady Gaga for best actress in a motion picture-drama.
  • Sure, it was a shocker that "A Star Is Born" was basically shut out in the important categories, but ...

The evening was lackluster. There wasn't even an opportunity for a drinking game based on how many times someone used a key word or something.

Maybe things will get better as the season goes on?

Producer Graham King worked a decade to bring the story to the big screen and honored Mercury on Sunday night.

"Thank you for showing us the power in embracing your true self," King said in homage to Mercury.

"Green Book" wins for best motion picture - musical or comedy

A film about the unlikely friendship between an African-American pianist and an Italian-American bouncer driving through the Deep South in the 1960s won a Golden Globe for best motion picture - musical or comedy.

Director Peter Farrelly, known for films such as "There's Something About Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber," used the acceptance speech to make a statement about how the film is more relevant than ever.

"Because we are still living in divided times, maybe more so now than ever," he said. "This movie is for everybody."

"All we have to do is just talk and not judge people by their differences, and look for what we have in common," he added.

"A Star Is Born" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" were filled with music, but nominated in the drama category?

Yet "Green Book" was nominated in the musical/comedy category?

Are we the only ones scratching our heads over that?

Discuss!

"The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story" wins

The best limited series or TV movie went to FX's "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story."

Producer Brad Simpson paid tribute to Versace, who was out as a gay man at a time many were not.

Simpson urged everyone to look to the late designer as an example during a time when the LGBTQ community appears to be under assault.

"As human beings we should resist in the street, resist at the ballot box and show love and empathy in our lives," Simpson said.
