Well, color me shocked. The HFPA actually picked some very cool winners tonight, although if there was an overarching theme it was that they love all shows in their first seasons (aside from the random Joanne Froggatt win for Downton Abbey- who saw that coming?) I went 6 for 11 here, which is better than last year (I think I only got 2 or something last time). I think the Globes proved tonight that they actually do watch these shows, because they went full in for Fargo and Transparent, not bothering to even throw a bone to other hot new series like Orange is the New Black or True Detective, meaning they stuck with what they genuinely liked. Some of my reasoning was actually pretty good here with things like Gina Rodriguez and The Affair, and I'm thrilled that they love Transparent so much! Overall, these wins make me a lot happier than the stuff that won over on the movie side- and the heartfelt speeches from truly excited winners like Bomer, Tambor, Rodriguez, Froggatt, and Kevin Spacey were a lot funner to watch, since they were all so touched by the moment.
