Critic’s Notebook: An Assured Nikki Glaser Boosts an Improved Golden Globes Telecast
The Hollywood ReporterStory by Daniel Fienberg
scrn logline
Nikki Glaser's assured hosting performance boosts an improved Golden Globes telecast, as the show struggles to find its identity post-HFPA scandal.
beat sheet
- Glaser, a stand-up star known for edgy comedy, delivered a surprisingly tame monologue, avoiding big national figures and industry controversies, but still keeping the show moving with enthusiasm and costume changes.
- The telecast lacked the usual Globes flair, with awkward presenter banter, useless trivia, and a missed opportunity to feature powerful lifetime achievement speeches from honorees Viola Davis and Ted Danson.
