What’s Up!? The Golden Globes: Je suis Charlie!!

Well, the award season launches with the Golden Globes! What do we love most: The speeches, the clothes, who walks with who or the movies? Here at itsashort.com we love the Golden Globes because as George Clooney says, its about ‘the little guy’ movies, not the block busters. The independents, they need the push, and the industry, delightfully, pushes for independence and point of view and talent, creativity, all the things that make making and watching movies the amazing experience we know it to be. So, thank you, Golden Globes! Below is the montage of best moments from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the George Clooney speech and Common and John Legend! Honorable mention goes to the very touching tribute Michael Keaton pays to his son. What were your favorite moments?

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler

We so appreciate their very unique brand of ‘keepin it real’ humor!!

George Clooney: Je suis Charlie!

George Clooney offers a very moving tribute to his colleagues, Amal and all of the people world wide protesting the hideous events in Paris: Je suis Charlie!

Common and John Legend for their wonderful and timely music titled: Glory

Common and John Legend were introduced by Prince!!!! Common offered a very moving tribute, the movie Selma, to the US fight against terrorism, racism and any other ism that divides our citizens.

OMG the Globes ‘killed it’ this year!!

The Holderness Family, remember them, or do you know them? Check out the 2013 Holiday video….because on Monday, December 22, 2014 itsashort.com will premiere their 2014 video!!! And, then following the premiere there will be a live streamed hangout with the family! Totally can’t miss this because they are amazing and funny and happy!

Kim or Mom was in the movie Ironman3 and Penn, the Dad, was a real news anchor who decided to leave his ‘gig’ and join his wife to run their production company and spend time developing more amazing videos. The result, they just signed on for a TV series!!! We think they will be the ‘family friendly’ version of the ‘Kardashians’!!

We also just love their work, their energy and the deeply rooted commitment to ‘hip hop’ as a prime tool for communication!  Check out their GMA and Today shows appearances, as we say, you feel me?!
