The week in entertainment news: How about those Golden Globes, huh?

Catching up with The A.V. Club's top news stories from the week of January 8 2 / 12 Sometimes an awards show moment can change the course of history—at least, if you’re . The mind immediately goes to the 2009 VMAs, an event that has haunted both for more than a decade. Most recently, there was the about the cameras cutting less frequently to Swift at the Golden Globes than they do at NFL games; Swift’s blank faced reaction as she sipped a glass of wine showed how little tolerance she has for being an awards show punchline.

She’s been here before, literally, at the Golden Globes in 2013, when a joke from Tina Fey altered the course of Swift’s public persona, a joke that in some ways looms just as large over Swiftian lore as the infamous Kanye West interruption. Mary Kate Carr 3 / 12 A whole lot of things went wrong for the Golden Globes Journalists last night.

They messed up the . Comedian Jo Koy made a queasy bid for . They scared the hell out of and even flubbed what should have been an easy ace with a hollow . On top of all that, a bunch of award winners couldn’t even get their name right. Emma Keates 4 / 12 Say what you will about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (and plenty has ), but at least they knew how to put on a good show.

This year’s revamped Golden Globes ceremony felt more disciplined than in years past, and less interesting. The speeches were short, there weren’t any video packages or musical performances, and after bombing during his opening monologue, host Jo Koy never regained his energy and only appeared sparingly.

We didn’t even get any major curve balls when it came to the winners. In a quest to become more respectable, the Globes may have lost some of the chaotic fun that made them so entertaining to watch. Still, there were enough highlights and lowlights t0 give us something to talk about until the next big awards show.

Here are some of them. Cindy White 5 / 12 It’s been a while since we’ve seen some good old fashioned, in the news. For all the lovers of haters out there, have we got a new duo for you. Emma Keates 6 / 12 Jo Koy found out why hosting The Golden Globes is considered one of the in Hollywood last night with a unrivaled even by Oppenheimer’s nuclear bomb (a film he may not have finished because it was too long).

There’s no other way to say it: his monologue sucked. If you’ve been anywhere near the internet (or a Swiftie) in the past 24 hours, you probably know just how bad it was. It was misogynistic. It was outdated. It was a miserably uncomfortable affair that was than it was for viewers at home, although as one of those viewers, that’s pretty hard to imagine.

Emma Keates 7 / 12 Most of the —the earliest version of Mickey Mouse that has recently entered the public domain—can be summed up in one classic copypasta. “Drew like a dark, fucked up version of [Steamboat Willie] haha,” . “Just a glimpse into my dark reality. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane lmao.” See: proto Mickey with .

How ghastly, how grotesque! This is not the non threatening Mickey Mouse we know and love! Many of these dark, fucked up takes on are ironic and in on the joke, serving as commentary on the inevitable “twisted” projects that will employ the mouse’s visage. Now Adult Swim has entered the fray with its own gently NSFW Steamboat Willie, and the lines have become blurred about what’s twisted in an ironic way and what’s a sincere attempt at edginess.

Mary Kate Carr 8 / 12 Although there’s been a fair amount of ink spilled, over the last few years, about the ways Disney’s movie franchise kind of fell off a cliff in the immediate aftermath of , it’s worth remember that has had it a hell of a lot worse. Although ’s television fortunes are doing pretty great at the moment—four series and counting, mostly well received, right now—the series has been in retreat at the box office for fully eight years at this point, after the under performance of 2016's (To the point that franchise star Chris Pine—a Major Movie Star!—has said more than once than he has absolutely no clue whether he still has that job, for all that the official line is that “ " is still in “active development.”) William Hughes 9 / 12 The fraternity of people who’ve hosted national award shows is a pretty tiny one, a connection shared between some few dozens of people who’ve faced the collected stares of TV cameras, the looming eye of social media, and, most especially, the many super famous people seated directly in front of them.

Hence, maybe, why Steve Martin—who’d know, having hosted the Academy Awards on three occasions, in 2001, 2003, and 2010—spoke out today in defense of Jo Koy, who’s William Hughes 10 / 12 The actor also discusses what projects he is hoping to do after 11 / 12 However Stewart does love the film with Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore 12 / 12.
