The 71st annual Golden Globes marked the beginning of awards season last night. I’ve always loved awards season. It gives us a few extra bitchin’ episodes of Fashion Police, a boost of confidence as we watch America’s most rich, famous, and beautiful tweak out, and as always, a little bit of juicy gossip. Last night’s best moment, for me, came by way of Tina Fey, as she hurled a passive aggressive dig at Taylor Swift while congratulating Amy Poehler on her Golden Globe for “Best Actress in a TV Series – Comedy.” Fey said, and I quote, “I just want to say congratulations to my friend Amy Poehler. I love you. There’s a special place in hell for you,” in reference to Taylor Swift’s bitchfit about the pair last year.
Beautiful.
The Globes also gave us something else, though: competition. As Greeks, we are all too familiar with it. Fran Becque, self-proclaimed fraternity history fanatic knows this better than anyone. In honor of last night’s awards show, she compiled a list of every Greek Golden Globe winner to grace Hollywood since the award show’s commencement in 1944. She uploaded the list to her blog fraternityhistory.com which, as the name would suggest, is dedicated to fraternity history. Definitely worth breezing through if you have a chance.
To add another factor to the all-Greek dick-measuring contest, all Golden Globe winners of all time are below.
