Will Hollywood be in the mood to party at Golden Globes?

Is Hollywood in the mood to party?

On Sunday, the movie industry will gather for the Golden Globes, which are regularly one of the most freewheeling and frothiest award shows of the year. Champagne will flow. Punchlines will fly.

But the tone of this year’s ceremony may be different, and not just because it will be the first time in nearly a decade that someone other than Ricky Gervais or the Tina Fey-Amy Poehler duo is hosting.

Jimmy Fallon will emcee this year’s show, to be broadcast live from Beverly Hills, Calif., by NBC at 8 p.m. EST Sunday. But the transition on the minds of Hollywood is the one taking place in Washington on January 20. The election of Donald Trump has loomed over this year’s awards season, where the movie industry’s usual self-congratulatory toasting has been mixed with a foreboding sense of dread.

“We are living in very troubled times,” Kenneth Lonergan, writer and director of one of the season’s favorites, “Manchester by the Sea,” said Wednesday at the National Board of Review Awards. “How troubled, we don’t know yet. It’s going to be a lot of trouble, or it might be bad trouble like we’ve never seen.”

Such speeches have been commonplace throughout the litany of awards that lead up, ultimately, to the Feb. 26 Academy Awards.

At Tuesday’s New York Film Critics Circle Awards, “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah compared the lauded “O.J.: Made in America” to the election: “another bad decision based on fame and race.” At the Gotham Film Independent Film Awards in November, Damian Lewis archly intoned, “The film that receives the most votes … is the winner. It’s a brilliant idea,” referring to Trump’s loss of the popular vote.

Barry Jenkins, the writer-director of the tender coming-of-age tale “Moonlight,” said at the National Board of Review Awards: “As we make America great again, let’s remember some inconsiderable things in our legacy, because there was a time when someone like me was just not considered.”

Fallon, who was criticized for what was considered a soft-ball interview of Trump on the “Tonight Show” during the campaign, isn’t likely to set a very political tone for the evening. But speaking to The Hollywood Reporter , Fallon promised Trump jokes at what he called “the first and maybe the last party that we’ll have in 2017.”

The late-night host will also be trying to turn ratings back in a positive direction. Last year’s ceremony, hosted by Gervais, drew 18.5 million viewers, down about 4 percent from the year before. Among the presenters on tap for the show, put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press, are Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone, Ben and Casey Affleck, Viola Davis, Amy Schumer, Sting and Matt Damon.

Award show TV audiences have generally been slumping, but the Golden Globes have certain advantages. Aside from their generally boisterous vibe, the Globes are distinct in honoring both film and television. Its TV awards have long been second to the movie honors, which have more significance coming shortly before Oscar nominations. But the TV awards are increasingly on equal footing at the ceremony.

This year’s categories are full of recent shows that weren’t eligible for September’s Emmy Awards, including “The Night Of,” ”Westworld,” ”Atlanta,” ”This Is Us” and “Insecure.”

On the film side, Damien Chazelle’s Los Angeles musical “La La Land” leads all nominees with seven nods, including best picture, comedy or musical. Its primary Oscar competition, “Moonlight” and “Manchester by the Sea,” will be separated by the Globes’ split between drama and comedy.

And surely many attendees will be thinking of those absent. After a year full of notable deaths, the back-to-back passing over the holidays of Debbie Reynolds and her daughter Carrie Fisher, was felt particularly in a Hollywood that revered them both. Reynolds and Fisher were to be laid to rest Friday in Los Angeles.

Sunday night’s biggest question may between whether to let loose or sober up. TVJ

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne reunite and work through marital troubles

X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne and her rocker husband Ozzy are apparently working out their marital differences, with Sharon allowing Ozzy to move back into their family mansion in Beverly Hills.

It was recently revealed that the Osbournes weren’t speaking, and that Ozzy was living in a bachelor pad in LA.

The couple’s 30-year relationship hit a crisis when Sharon discovered Ozzy was addicted to prescription medicine again and had begun drinking.

An insider told The Sun: “A month ago they weren’t seeing each other at all. He was in a rented house, she was in a hotel and they lived separate lives.

“Now Sharon is giving Ozzy another chance and has let him move back in. They are working things out.”
Ozzy took to Facebook to admit his substance problems and apologise to his family.

“I was in a very dark place and was an a**hole to the people I love most, my family. I am happy to say that I’m now 44 days sober. Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing.”

He also apologised to Sharon for his ‘insane behaviour’.

Ozzy is back working with Black Sabbath at the moment

Sharon had admitted on her US TV show that the crisis had left her ‘devasted’, but insisted: “We’re not getting divorced.”

Sharon returns as a judge on The X Factor this year in a £1.8million deal.

Meanwhile Ozzy is preparing to release a new record with his now legendary band Black Sabbath, who release 13 this year.

Armani Code For Women And Others At The Lowest Prices

Giorgio Armani founded his Armani fashion trade in 1975 in Milan. He joined the fashion business as a mere window dresser but eventually created a name for himself as a fashion designer. Through the years, the Armani label grew to be a global name and forged his way to further creations such as his perfume line and Armani Code For Women.

Armani's first venture into perfumes was in the year 1981 but the branded perfume was circulated in 1982. The first release was made by the Giorgio Beverly Hills and was simply labeled as Giorgio (unbranded). The branded perfume was austerely called Armani, a Chypre perfume made for women. This would be the first of the successful fragrances marketed under the Giorgio Armani signature. Throughout the years, Armani has released countless fragrances that became popular in the perfume market. His perfume list has over fifty-five perfumes for women and men. These fragrances are offered under the L'oreal license.

Giorgio Armani, a high-end trade name, specializes in women's and men's clothes, eyewear, cosmetics, perfumes and accessories. The label is one of the priciest brands of clothing in the world and is offered only in exclusive stores. The emblem of this label is a curved letter "G" finishing a curved letter "A" letter, all shaped into a round logo.

The first rate fragrances and other fashion related items earned Armani its popularity. Moreover, Armanis absolutely do not disappear out of fashion.
