A Summary of the 2016 Golden Globes

Sunday was filled with glamorous dresses and flashy jewelry with 2016’s Golden Globes. To be quite honest, if you didn’t watch it, you didn’t really miss anything. There were however a few moments throughout the night you do need to know about to slay the next trivia night’s pop culture category.


Leonardo DiCaprio Actually Won Something!


DiCaprio walked away winning best actor in a drama for his performance in The Revenantand was absolutely ecstatic about his win.


DiCaprio Talked Politics in his Speech

Normally I would roll my eyes at any actress/actor who does this just because I would like to carry on with the already four hour award show but DiCaprio did so very eloquently stating, "I want to share this award with all the First Nations peoples represented in this film and all the indigenous communities around the world. It is time that we recognize your history and that we protect your indigenous lands and corporate interests."


Brie Larson Wins Best Actress
























Larson won Best Actress for her role as Ma in the film Room where she probably had one of the best speeches of the night, ending her's by saying, "I'm sorry to anyone I forgot; I'll write you a thank-you card."


Taraji P. Henson Won Best Actress in Dramatic TV Series

Henson plays Cookies in the wildly popular FOX show Empire and hands out cookies as she made her way to the stage like an absolute queen.


There Was An Amazing Montage for Denzel Washington

He brought his whole family on stage but forgot his speech and glasses but without missing a beat was as charming as ever.


Gaga Won Best Actress in a Miniseries


Lady Gaga made her acting debut in American Horror Story as The Countess and was completely awestruck for her win.


Sylvester Stallone won his First Golden Globe

In Creed Stallone plays Rocky Balboa where he serves as a mentor and trainer for his formal rival's son. While giving his speech, Stallone received a standing ovation for his win in best supporting actor in a motion picture.


Ricky Gervais Opening Monologue was Completely Mediocre


He made fun of Trump, Roman Polanski, Caitlyn Jenner and the gender wage gap. Yawn...


The 2016 Golden Globe Award Ceremony was just like any other star studded event: glitzy outfits, beautiful people and faces full of botox.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
