'Blackish's Tracee Ellis-Ross becomes the first black woman to win Best Actress in a Comedy Series since 1983
I actually did better on my predictions this year than last, going 8 for 11 in the TV categories. I should have trusted my instincts on The Night Manager a little more, which the Globes loved so much they gave it all three acting wins, despite feeling obligated to go for OJ in Best Limited Series. But the new prevailed overall with the rest. I should mention here how host Jimmy Fallon fared on the actual ceremonial duties, and that was pretty pitifully. He tried to go slightly edgier (for him) in the opening monologue with some Trump jokes, but coming from the guy who helped normalize the racist, sexually assaulting monster on national television, it's a little too late for that shit, buddy. I will not forget or forgive. Aside from that he bombed most of his bits and then all but completely disappeared in the second half, so even though the ratings were higher this year, who knows if he'll be back to host these again. Good riddance. The funniest bit of the night came from Kristen Wiig and Steve Carell presenting Animated Feature with ironically tragic recollections of their first time seeing animated movies as kids. Get them to host next time.
