Lauren Chen on why the Golden Globes was miserable to watch

Every year, it seems the Golden Globe Awards show gets worse. This year was no exception.

“I think it’s pretty safe to say at this point that the era of the celebrity awards show is basically dead,” Lauren Chen says, adding that they’re “an excuse for celebrities to virtue-signal about how progressive they are” and “essentially serve as left-wing propaganda.”

Comedian Jo Koy hosted the event and ended up circulating on X.

Not because his performance was reminiscent of when Ricky Gervais hosted but because “he was failing so spectacularly to elicit any type of laugh from the audience.”

He used his time on stage to poke fun at white people, telling the celebrity-packed audience that white people “stole everything.”

“You took the land, you took the oil, you took the premise of the movie. What that was your premise? That’s hilarious, I don’t care. It’s just that the room is really white. The room’s like yeah, we did take it,” Koy joked.

The audience's laughter was muffled.

“When you make a woke, anti-white, ‘Oh, aren’t white people terrible’ joke in a room full of progressive celebrities and they still don’t laugh, that’s how you know it isn’t funny,” Chen says, unamused.

But that wasn’t the worst of it. Koy also set his sights on Taylor Swift, which proved to be another flop.

“We came on after a football double header,” Koy began, “the big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL, on the Golden Globes we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift, I swear.”

When the camera panned to Taylor Swift, her gaze was locked on the comedian — and she was not happy.

“Suffice it to say that home girl looks absolutely pissed,” Chen says.
