Can you throw a party on a Tuesday that millions will want to watch on live television? It was the big bet the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association was willing to take to get the Golden Globe Awards back on television for its 80th anniversary. For the most part, it played like a pretty typical awards show with some good winners, truly moving speeches and a runtime that dragged on and on, writes Associated Press Film Writer Lindsey Bahr. The biggest asset was its live-wire host, Jerrod Carmichael, whose unsparing and truth-poking jabs had the audience on edge.
