Armie Hammer & Timothée Chalamet find love in Call Me By Your Name (2017)

Oy, the Golden Globes.
CMBYN didn't win anything.
Armie lost to Sam Rockwell in "Three Billboards...". Haven't seen it. Check this in the Times.
Best song went to the ungrammatical, generic, bloviating mess "This is Me" from "Greatest Showman". Poor Sufjan, not even nominated. The other nominations were all from animated films.
Timothée lost to Gary Oldman as Churchill in "Darkest Hour". Why, oh, why, do these shows continue to award impressions of real people? Especially those from the 20th century where there are hundreds of hours of footage and recordings??? Rather than a complicated character created out of airy nothing? (Of course, I'm also thinking of Heath's Ennis vs. Philip Seymour Hoffman's Capote impression.) It was some consolation to see Timothée up on stage with the cast of "Lady Bird", that won for Best Comedy/Musical.
And Best Drama went to (what critic Wesley Morris called) "the moral and emotional and metaphorical confusion that is ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.'" It seems violence trumps love.

That is a good point. Perhaps they should create separate awards, like they do for best original script/best adapted script. Call Me By Your Name is winning with audiences, anyway!

Thanks, Lee. I don't know, though. Without a few wins, nominations alone could cause the potential audience to dwindle.

You know, Paul, I'm not the most objective person re Call Me, but I have a separate, very subjective iron in this fire.
Ok, for years I have loathed and despised Martin McDonagh. Now I put him lower than Paul Haggis. Well, I said I was anything but objective.

While I am not discounting those winning the "Golden Globes" we need to remember that the voting membership is about 90 people (that's it) who when all is said and done, are not substantial film critics.

I will not place a lot of dismay for CMBYN b/c of the GG. They really have done a PR job on the public.
