You might have heard of Minari due to the controversy of the Golden Globes’ decision to include Minari in the Foreign Language Film category.

The Golden Globes 2021 had perhaps the most cringeworthy awards ceremony this year with numerous technical difficulties and several awkward Zoom encounters. The fun of the Globes is watching famous people get steadily more intoxicated as the night wears on. The rowdiness of the group helps fuel the jokes and makes it fun to watch.…

I like the Golden Globes mainly because they offer so many different categories. They include film and television and that’s the best of both worlds. But they also have a drama and a comedy/musical category for film which I appreciate. I hate that comedic actors get the short end of the stick at most mainstream…
