00:00:00.000 A Tim's donut and coffee is the original collab.

00:00:02.540 And now, any classic donut is a dollar

00:00:04.200 when you buy any size original or dark roast coffee.

00:00:06.720 Get a deal on the iconic duo with a Tim's dollar donut.

00:00:09.760 Less tax at participating restaurants for a limited time.

00:00:11.740 Terms apply. See app-free details.

00:00:13.120 It's time for Tim's.

00:00:15.140 They all know it. They all know it's a scam.

00:00:17.880 They're just hoping no one will bring it up.

00:00:20.200 So let's talk about it.

00:00:21.680 Yeah, we Flossom Talk.

00:00:26.540 Hi and welcome to Flossom Talk.

00:00:27.980 I'm Kersti Floor, journalist, Hollywood truth teller

00:00:30.620 and your voice of reason in a town built on delusion.

00:00:35.240 Talking about delusion and illusion,

00:00:38.320 the Golden Globe is happening right now

00:00:42.240 and we have to talk about it.

00:00:44.360 This is the biggest scam of Hollywood.

00:00:47.300 And right now, all the celebrities are over there

00:00:50.500 at the Beverly Hilton pretending that they don't know.

00:00:54.100 They're showing off their gowns, their new faces,

00:00:57.020 their new tuxedos.

00:00:59.040 They're smiling, they're waving to the camera

00:01:01.580 and they're getting ready to maybe receive an award

00:01:05.100 that means nothing.

00:01:07.700 And the thing is, they all know it.

00:01:09.720 They all know it's a scam.

00:01:11.300 They're just hoping no one will bring it up.

00:01:13.620 So let's talk about it.

00:01:15.020 If you've followed me for a while,

00:01:16.400 you know that I love to speak truth to power

00:01:18.800 and that's also one of the reasons I think that

00:01:20.820 I've been so invested in this Blake Lively

00:01:23.760 versus Justin Baldoni legal drama.

00:01:25.780 I see so many similarities in that legal feud

00:01:29.900 and everything that happened before Blake Lively sued

00:01:33.620 Justin Baldoni as everything that I've seen

00:01:36.660 with the Golden Globes.

00:01:37.680 And if you haven't followed me for a while,

00:01:39.180 maybe you don't know that I actually sued

00:01:41.780 the organization in 2020

00:01:43.620 and it ended up with a total boycott from the industry

00:01:46.800 and the show was taken off the air.

00:01:49.300 I thought things were about to change,

00:01:51.460 but man, was I wrong.

00:01:53.140 So all the same people that stepped back

00:01:56.020 from this toxic organization back then

00:01:58.740 are now back on the red carpet

00:02:01.140 pretending like nothing happened

00:02:03.320 and they're accepting their trophies

00:02:05.360 from a system that is more corrupt than ever.

00:02:09.320 This is proof that corruption never dies in Hollywood.

00:02:12.540 It just gets better PR.

00:02:14.400 So after I sued the organization,

00:02:16.620 everyone was in shock

00:02:17.960 and LA Times did this huge expose

00:02:20.460 like, look how terrible they are.

00:02:23.040 It's self-dealing.

00:02:24.560 It's bribery.

00:02:26.240 It's all rotten to the core.

00:02:28.460 We need to do something about them.

00:02:30.460 And the celebrities was like,

00:02:31.920 oh yes, this is horrible.

00:02:33.480 And we always knew it,

00:02:35.080 but we didn't want to say anything out loud.

00:02:36.860 But now we can because everyone else

00:02:38.460 is talking about it.

00:02:39.520 And the publicists agreed too.

00:02:41.280 And they were like,

00:02:41.840 everything needs to change

00:02:43.360 and we need to be more ethical.

00:02:45.420 We need to be more accountable.

00:02:47.500 And so on.

00:02:49.020 It was all a big joke.

00:02:50.900 If you missed my two previous episodes

00:02:52.880 of the Golden Globes,

00:02:54.040 I will leave links below here

00:02:55.900 so you can watch and learn about

00:02:57.700 my personal experience with them

00:03:00.180 when they sent armed special forces

00:03:03.400 to my apartment

00:03:05.300 and when they sent threatening anonymous letter

00:03:08.460 in the mail.

00:03:09.620 The story is so crazy,

00:03:11.360 you won't even believe it.

00:03:12.660 But anyways,

00:03:13.740 let's get back to how things have changed

00:03:16.520 in the Golden Globes

00:03:17.740 since I called them out

00:03:19.400 and since the LA Times called them out

00:03:21.460 and since all the other outlets called them out

00:03:24.360 and since NBC took them off the air

00:03:26.360 and since Tom Cruise sent back

00:03:28.100 his three Golden Globes in protest

00:03:30.240 and the blackmailing

00:03:31.600 and the bullying

00:03:32.400 and the PR tactics

00:03:34.100 and the pretending we are going to change

00:03:36.860 while they just put more lipstick on the pig. 1.00

00:03:39.260 But first we have to go back

00:03:40.580 a little bit in time

00:03:41.520 because how did this group

00:03:42.820 of just 90 journalists

00:03:44.140 get so much power in Hollywood?

00:03:47.040 The organization was called

00:03:48.540 the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,

00:03:51.040 HFPA,

00:03:51.960 and you might have heard about them

00:03:53.360 every time a celebrity came up on stage

00:03:55.780 and said thank you

00:03:56.560 to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association

00:03:58.080 for this honor.

00:03:59.260 And of course Ricky Gervais

00:04:01.260 who hosted the show so many times

00:04:02.900 he always took the opportunity

00:04:04.620 to make fun of these people

00:04:06.460 saying that they were nobodies

00:04:07.980 and this award means nothing.

00:04:10.000 They just voted by some random journalist

00:04:12.580 working for a golf magazine in Finland

00:04:15.660 or for some random person from the Philippines

00:04:18.200 who no one really understood

00:04:19.980 why they ended up being a member

00:04:21.640 of this organization.

00:04:22.660 As you know,

00:04:24.320 the meal tonight

00:04:25.140 was all vegetables

00:04:26.260 as are the members

00:04:28.340 of the Hollywood Foreign Press.

00:04:32.180 Anyways,

00:04:32.960 there's one person in Hollywood

00:04:34.680 who made this happen

00:04:36.420 and who gave these people

00:04:38.020 so much power.

00:04:40.080 His name is Harvey Weinstein.

00:04:42.620 Before we begin,

00:04:43.180 I just want to congratulate Harvey

00:04:44.600 and his wife Georgina

00:04:45.640 on the birth of their new baby boy.

00:04:49.800 Harvey gave us just what we needed,

00:04:51.640 another him.

00:04:54.040 So Harvey realized early

00:04:56.140 that when you have

00:04:57.460 such a small group of people,

00:04:59.300 it is really easy to influence them

00:05:02.080 because you have to keep in mind

00:05:03.480 the Oscars had 9,000 voters.

00:05:07.160 The HFPA were 90 people.

00:05:09.500 All you have to do

00:05:10.300 is fly them to some

00:05:11.300 five-star hotels,

00:05:12.860 wine them,

00:05:13.940 dine them, 0.98

00:05:14.880 tell them that you love them,

00:05:16.820 get the celebrities

00:05:17.620 to stand next to them

00:05:18.900 and take selfies with them,

00:05:20.840 give them interviews

00:05:21.760 with the celebrities

00:05:22.820 and make them feel important

00:05:25.020 and they will do

00:05:26.200 whatever you ask.

00:05:27.500 And that is what Harvey did.

00:05:29.800 I went to those parties.

00:05:31.600 I saw Harvey in action.

00:05:33.480 I saw all these people

00:05:34.780 smooching up.

00:05:36.160 I've seen Christmas cards

00:05:37.480 from Nicole Kidman

00:05:38.560 and Leonardo DiCaprio

00:05:39.500 wishing a journalist

00:05:41.820 from Litauen

00:05:43.520 a Merry Christmas.

00:05:45.020 I've seen the gifts.

00:05:46.380 I've been around these people

00:05:47.740 so I know exactly

00:05:48.800 what was going on.

00:05:50.260 And everyone hated the system

00:05:51.680 but at the same time

00:05:52.720 they really liked it

00:05:53.760 because they were depending on it

00:05:55.060 because getting a Golden Globe

00:05:56.660 meant that you were closer

00:05:58.340 to achieving

00:05:59.120 and getting an Oscar.

00:06:00.540 So everyone benefited from it.

00:06:02.400 The studios did,

00:06:03.800 the celebrities

00:06:04.480 or the actors did,

00:06:06.140 the publicists did.

00:06:07.320 Of course they received

00:06:08.380 extra bonuses

00:06:09.140 when one of their talents

00:06:10.400 received an award

00:06:11.540 and the agents

00:06:13.400 the same thing.

00:06:14.460 And of course the networks

00:06:15.340 and everyone else involved

00:06:16.660 in this huge gala.

00:06:18.040 Imagine all the hotels

00:06:19.240 in this area

00:06:20.160 filling up with people

00:06:21.640 this time of year,

00:06:22.920 the catering,

00:06:24.100 everyone that's involved

00:06:25.380 in this

00:06:25.900 benefited from this.

00:06:27.540 So no one complained

00:06:28.540 when the trophies

00:06:29.380 were rolling in

00:06:30.300 but

00:06:31.020 they all

00:06:32.140 hated

00:06:32.960 that they were slaves

00:06:34.480 to this system.

00:06:35.900 Especially the publicists

00:06:37.440 because they didn't have

00:06:38.480 control over

00:06:39.520 what was happening

00:06:40.420 in the interviews

00:06:41.840 because they had to

00:06:43.140 allow these journalists

00:06:44.400 to ask their talents

00:06:46.160 whatever they wanted

00:06:47.280 because they didn't want

00:06:48.640 to get on the wrong foot

00:06:49.820 with these people.

00:06:51.040 So there was always

00:06:51.900 an issue there

00:06:52.860 where they were sitting there

00:06:53.960 biting their tongue

00:06:55.280 not interrupting

00:06:56.600 when these inappropriate

00:06:58.260 and sometimes really rude

00:07:00.220 questions were asked

00:07:01.580 of their talents.

00:07:02.680 The publicists never even cared

00:07:04.640 where these articles

00:07:05.780 were published

00:07:06.740 and the journalists

00:07:08.240 only cared about

00:07:09.220 having selfies

00:07:09.980 with the celebrities.

00:07:11.380 They even got a lot

00:07:12.400 of them to pose

00:07:13.300 with their local newspapers

00:07:15.060 and with their local magazines

00:07:17.380 and all of us journalists

00:07:19.000 on the outside

00:07:19.860 that actually worked

00:07:21.120 for real publications

00:07:22.400 and did real journalism

00:07:25.100 were looking at these people

00:07:26.860 running this town

00:07:28.100 being like

00:07:28.840 why is this okay?

00:07:31.000 Interestingly enough

00:07:32.140 as soon as I sued

00:07:33.440 the HFPA

00:07:34.160 the Hollywood Foreign Press Association

00:07:36.100 the headlines were everywhere

00:07:37.840 but no media outlet

00:07:39.100 really picked it up

00:07:40.220 until one of my colleagues

00:07:42.300 put pressure

00:07:43.020 on the LA Times

00:07:44.040 saying

00:07:44.420 hey why aren't you

00:07:45.560 doing a deep dive here?

00:07:47.360 If you're not doing it

00:07:48.380 we're going to the New York Times

00:07:49.540 and we have some information

00:07:50.820 that you should be aware of.

00:07:52.700 Then the LA Times

00:07:53.680 were like

00:07:54.100 okay we're going to work

00:07:55.340 on an expose

00:07:56.300 and they did

00:07:57.420 and they published it

00:07:58.460 based basically

00:07:59.340 only on my lawsuit

00:08:01.360 and everything

00:08:01.940 that I revealed

00:08:02.940 about the organization

00:08:03.920 in my lawsuit.

00:08:05.380 But anyways

00:08:06.000 the show went on

00:08:07.500 as normal

00:08:08.240 two weeks after

00:08:09.400 that article hit

00:08:10.700 and all the celebrities

00:08:12.060 were there

00:08:12.780 and they were so grateful

00:08:14.220 for winning an award.

00:08:16.640 One week later

00:08:18.100 they all took a step back

00:08:20.060 and said that

00:08:20.820 things need to change

00:08:22.700 and they were like

00:08:23.740 this group of people

00:08:24.780 have been horrible

00:08:25.640 for so long

00:08:26.620 and this is so toxic

00:08:27.800 it's so corrupt

00:08:28.840 things need to change

00:08:30.360 and the publicists

00:08:31.420 organized themselves

00:08:32.680 and said

00:08:33.160 hey we want more

00:08:34.080 accountability here

00:08:35.200 we want more transparency

00:08:36.620 everyone agreed

00:08:38.240 and as I said

00:08:38.880 some celebrities

00:08:39.580 came out

00:08:40.180 Tom Cruise

00:08:40.740 returned his three

00:08:41.760 golden globes

00:08:42.560 Mark Ruffalo

00:08:43.780 came out

00:08:44.280 and said something

00:08:44.980 Scarlett Johansson

00:08:45.960 came out

00:08:46.380 and said something

00:08:47.120 no one came to me though

00:08:48.980 even though

00:08:49.600 it was me

00:08:50.240 who ignited this thing

00:08:51.640 then all the studios

00:08:52.840 came out

00:08:53.380 Netflix

00:08:53.820 came out first

00:08:54.800 and said

00:08:55.140 we don't want to work

00:08:55.840 with this group anymore

00:08:56.780 things have to change

00:08:57.940 and then HBO

00:08:58.940 and all the other

00:08:59.820 networks and studios

00:09:01.640 followed

00:09:02.240 and then NBC

00:09:03.480 was like

00:09:04.160 oops

00:09:04.520 this is so toxic

00:09:05.780 we're not going to get

00:09:06.560 advertisers

00:09:07.180 for this show anymore

00:09:09.240 and we have to pay them

00:09:10.800 60 million dollars a year

00:09:12.320 to air this show

00:09:13.400 we better cancel it

00:09:14.940 so they did

00:09:15.980 so in 2022

00:09:17.240 there was no

00:09:18.980 golden globe

00:09:19.820 on any network

00:09:21.000 they still had the show

00:09:22.340 although a lot of

00:09:23.260 celebrity boycotted it

00:09:24.620 and they announced

00:09:26.480 the winners

00:09:27.120 and losers

00:09:27.940 on Twitter

00:09:29.060 so what happened next

00:09:30.420 three days after I sued them

00:09:31.820 the president

00:09:32.440 of the HFPA

00:09:33.440 died

00:09:34.080 he died of cancer

00:09:35.060 and of course

00:09:35.520 they blamed me for it

00:09:36.620 because it was stressful

00:09:37.540 for him to have this lawsuit

00:09:39.060 then they voted

00:09:40.120 in a German member

00:09:41.640 who used to be

00:09:43.280 an assistant

00:09:44.080 to a German journalist

00:09:45.960 and the way she got

00:09:47.160 into the organization

00:09:48.260 is really shady

00:09:49.720 she swapped places

00:09:51.340 with this guy

00:09:52.300 who was known

00:09:53.080 as the interview factory

00:09:54.700 because he plagiarized

00:09:56.220 a lot of interviews

00:09:57.220 anyways

00:09:58.200 so this woman

00:09:59.400 Helen Hoene

00:10:00.160 told everyone

00:10:01.340 that she was going

00:10:02.860 to change the organization

00:10:04.460 reform was coming

00:10:06.440 and they hired

00:10:07.300 this super expensive

00:10:08.620 exclusive consultant agency

00:10:10.920 and a lot of lawyers

00:10:12.140 to help them change

00:10:13.500 and of course

00:10:14.300 they didn't want to change

00:10:15.620 because they wanted

00:10:16.480 to have all this access

00:10:17.800 they wanted this self-dealing

00:10:19.520 obviously

00:10:20.160 from this non-profit organization

00:10:22.200 to benefit them

00:10:23.960 they wanted to get the money

00:10:25.460 they wanted to have the access

00:10:26.960 they wanted to be treated

00:10:28.280 special in Hollywood

00:10:29.480 so they didn't want

00:10:30.660 to give that up

00:10:31.320 so of course

00:10:31.960 all these reforms

00:10:33.080 were just window dressing

00:10:34.520 then a billionaire

00:10:35.820 came along

00:10:36.700 his name is

00:10:37.500 Todd Bowley

00:10:38.680 and he told

00:10:40.000 Helen Hoene

00:10:40.780 if you convince

00:10:41.840 all the members

00:10:42.520 to sell the organization

00:10:43.820 to me

00:10:44.880 I can make it

00:10:46.060 for profit

00:10:46.980 and everyone

00:10:47.940 can become

00:10:48.620 so much richer

00:10:49.920 and I will get it

00:10:50.960 back on television

00:10:51.860 and Helen said

00:10:52.880 yes

00:10:53.540 and then the whispers

00:10:55.280 in town

00:10:56.040 were that

00:10:56.580 it was not only

00:10:57.640 a business deal

00:10:58.680 between Helen

00:10:59.560 and Todd Bowley

00:11:01.020 that something else

00:11:01.960 was going on

00:11:02.820 I don't know

00:11:04.020 he's divorced now

00:11:05.300 but I don't know

00:11:06.360 it's just speculation

00:11:07.520 but anyway

00:11:08.740 she managed

00:11:09.920 to convince

00:11:10.600 all the 90 members

00:11:11.900 that this was

00:11:12.600 the deal

00:11:13.180 of their life

00:11:14.240 and they should

00:11:15.240 sell the organization

00:11:16.420 to Todd Bowley

00:11:17.980 and they will get

00:11:19.080 like $250,000

00:11:20.500 each

00:11:21.280 if they accepted

00:11:22.520 this deal

00:11:23.180 and they will become

00:11:24.040 his employees

00:11:25.200 so they did

00:11:26.580 accept the deal

00:11:27.480 and I think

00:11:28.260 this is the worst deal

00:11:29.820 that was ever signed

00:11:30.960 in Hollywood history

00:11:31.880 they were so dumb

00:11:34.000 they basically

00:11:35.120 gave him

00:11:36.260 this brand

00:11:37.320 who was so valuable

00:11:38.660 at this time

00:11:39.740 and they thought

00:11:40.940 that they couldn't

00:11:41.660 fix it on their own

00:11:42.920 so now

00:11:43.980 Helen Hoene

00:11:44.920 took over everything

00:11:46.040 with Todd Bowley

00:11:47.120 and then Helen

00:11:48.300 fired all the other

00:11:50.000 journalists

00:11:50.660 that she convinced

00:11:52.060 to sell

00:11:53.040 this organization

00:11:54.060 she did it over Zoom 0.95

00:11:55.780 and she turned

00:11:56.520 the camera off

00:11:57.480 and she said

00:11:58.100 you're all fired

00:11:59.120 and you won't get

00:12:00.380 the money

00:12:00.800 that you were promised

00:12:01.840 and now you can

00:12:02.640 just be voters

00:12:03.540 and work for free

00:12:05.140 for this new company

00:12:07.360 and we're also

00:12:08.760 going to get voters

00:12:09.560 from all around

00:12:10.380 the world

00:12:10.980 and we're not

00:12:11.600 going to tell people

00:12:12.360 how we get

00:12:13.040 these voters

00:12:13.680 but it's going to

00:12:14.500 really help

00:12:15.200 the Golden Globes

00:12:16.120 to grow back

00:12:16.900 to what it once was

00:12:18.220 so all these people

00:12:19.840 are now obviously

00:12:20.760 really upset

00:12:22.040 with Helen Hoene

00:12:23.080 who is still

00:12:23.880 the only person

00:12:24.800 who is an employee

00:12:26.780 of Todd Bowley

00:12:28.040 and I heard

00:12:28.780 that she makes

00:12:29.480 around $600,000

00:12:30.760 a year

00:12:31.620 being the president

00:12:32.840 of the Golden Globes

00:12:34.140 anyways

00:12:34.820 Todd Bowley

00:12:35.660 of course

00:12:36.040 has many friends

00:12:36.920 he also owns

00:12:37.900 the Chelsea soccer team

00:12:39.500 and he is

00:12:40.280 as I said

00:12:40.860 a billionaire

00:12:41.620 another billionaire

00:12:42.840 Jay Penske

00:12:44.060 who is a friend

00:12:45.020 of Todd Bowley

00:12:46.360 also wanted in on this

00:12:48.300 and he was like

00:12:49.180 hey Todd

00:12:49.760 you know

00:12:50.200 I own all the magazines

00:12:51.580 in this town

00:12:52.560 all the trade magazines

00:12:53.580 that are writing

00:12:54.840 about the Golden Globes

00:12:56.060 all the trade magazines

00:12:57.020 that all the studios

00:12:58.640 and streamers

00:13:00.480 have to buy

00:13:01.200 advertisement in

00:13:02.560 to promote

00:13:03.800 their shows

00:13:05.180 and their movies

00:13:06.220 wouldn't it be great

00:13:07.420 if we collaborated

00:13:08.620 then we could own

00:13:10.000 the entire ecosystem here

00:13:11.880 and Todd Bowley

00:13:12.960 was like

00:13:13.380 yes

00:13:13.800 and you know what

00:13:14.600 I already own

00:13:16.060 A24

00:13:16.860 the production company

00:13:18.300 yeah

00:13:18.760 little side note here

00:13:19.900 Marty Supreme

00:13:20.640 is produced

00:13:22.220 by A24

00:13:23.080 so that means

00:13:24.200 that the people

00:13:24.840 that are voting

00:13:25.540 for the award show

00:13:26.600 is voting

00:13:27.080 for his movie

00:13:28.360 the one who owns

00:13:29.180 the award show

00:13:30.080 just like think about

00:13:31.060 that for a second

00:13:31.880 and of course

00:13:32.780 they can do

00:13:33.360 special interviews

00:13:34.360 with

00:13:35.160 for example

00:13:36.220 Timothee Chalamet

00:13:37.260 who is in

00:13:37.820 Marty Supreme

00:13:38.400 this year

00:13:39.200 and do extra

00:13:40.440 little segments

00:13:41.240 on how amazing

00:13:42.340 that movie is

00:13:43.440 so yes

00:13:44.420 it might win

00:13:45.160 a Golden Globe

00:13:46.140 Todd Bowley

00:13:47.140 also owns

00:13:47.940 the production company

00:13:48.900 that produces

00:13:49.700 the show

00:13:50.280 and he's also

00:13:51.260 part owner

00:13:52.000 in the Beverly Hilton

00:13:53.300 Hotel

00:13:53.740 where the gala

00:13:54.820 takes place

00:13:55.820 so if you wonder

00:13:56.880 why there are no

00:13:57.500 critical stories

00:13:58.880 in any of these

00:13:59.880 magazines

00:14:00.420 about the Golden Globes

00:14:02.000 you can have

00:14:02.760 a wild guess

00:14:03.880 and this is where

00:14:04.820 it gets uglier

00:14:05.640 because all those

00:14:06.620 celebrities

00:14:07.060 that were boycotting

00:14:08.280 the Golden Globes

00:14:09.160 back then

00:14:09.800 they're all back

00:14:11.420 on the red carpet

00:14:12.280 and they all know

00:14:13.600 that it's worse

00:14:14.920 than ever

00:14:15.920 this award show

00:14:18.060 is so corrupt

00:14:19.600 to the core

00:14:20.740 and now

00:14:21.780 there is zero

00:14:22.960 transparency

00:14:23.740 at least before

00:14:25.160 it was a non-profit

00:14:26.260 so we as a public

00:14:27.400 got some kind of

00:14:28.680 insight into

00:14:29.500 what was going on

00:14:30.540 right now

00:14:31.300 we know nothing

00:14:32.560 and funny enough

00:14:33.720 when the Golden Globes

00:14:34.800 got a new TV deal

00:14:36.360 the publicist

00:14:37.600 didn't ask

00:14:38.440 oh who's voting

00:14:39.580 now

00:14:40.120 how is this

00:14:40.920 gonna work

00:14:41.480 who profits

00:14:42.200 from this

00:14:43.000 they're like

00:14:43.700 oh we don't care

00:14:44.560 we just want

00:14:45.220 our bonuses back

00:14:46.180 and what does

00:14:46.800 the package

00:14:47.320 look like

00:14:48.000 and Todd Bowley

00:14:49.100 and Jay Penske

00:14:50.020 they know how

00:14:50.740 to monetize things

00:14:51.860 they don't care

00:14:53.060 about the arts

00:14:54.100 for a second

00:14:55.100 so what they did

00:14:55.980 next

00:14:56.420 was that they

00:14:57.220 started selling

00:14:58.580 dinner parties

00:14:59.900 where the talents

00:15:01.100 who were hoping

00:15:02.120 to get nominated

00:15:02.960 for something

00:15:03.840 could meet

00:15:05.380 with their voters

00:15:07.080 they called it

00:15:08.320 the Variety

00:15:09.180 Dinner Series

00:15:10.140 so they even

00:15:10.840 brought Variety

00:15:11.720 the magazine

00:15:12.380 into that

00:15:13.240 because of course

00:15:13.900 as you know

00:15:14.380 Jay Penske

00:15:14.920 owns that magazine

00:15:15.920 and I think

00:15:16.960 they had to pay

00:15:17.660 about $70,000

00:15:19.040 per ticket

00:15:20.660 so that they

00:15:21.700 can come

00:15:22.260 and influence

00:15:23.120 voters

00:15:23.660 over a dinner

00:15:24.680 they also

00:15:25.340 started selling

00:15:26.220 packages

00:15:27.000 to wealthy

00:15:27.940 people

00:15:28.520 who wanted

00:15:29.060 to have

00:15:29.480 the Golden

00:15:29.900 Globe

00:15:30.220 experience

00:15:30.900 so that

00:15:31.860 they could

00:15:32.340 buy access

00:15:33.480 to the show

00:15:34.520 and to the

00:15:35.200 after parties

00:15:36.080 I think

00:15:36.700 that price

00:15:37.300 was around

00:15:37.760 $70,000

00:15:38.520 as well

00:15:39.560 and also

00:15:40.660 now they

00:15:41.560 added another

00:15:42.440 category here

00:15:43.700 the podcast

00:15:44.820 category

00:15:45.660 as soon as

00:15:46.400 I heard about

00:15:46.880 this new

00:15:47.380 podcast award

00:15:48.820 I was wondering

00:15:49.520 you know

00:15:49.900 what are the

00:15:50.340 categories here

00:15:51.160 is it like

00:15:51.600 best true crime

00:15:52.620 best entertainment

00:15:53.760 best news

00:15:54.960 best pop culture

00:15:56.400 podcast

00:15:57.100 no no no

00:15:58.200 it's nothing

00:15:58.860 like that

00:15:59.480 it's just

00:15:59.820 best podcast

00:16:00.680 and mainly

00:16:01.660 the podcasts

00:16:02.500 that are

00:16:03.680 nominated

00:16:04.360 are actors

00:16:06.160 from Hollywood

00:16:07.080 who started

00:16:07.800 their own

00:16:08.380 podcast

00:16:09.120 Amy Poehler

00:16:10.120 Jason Bateman

00:16:11.120 Will Arnett

00:16:12.100 amongst others

00:16:13.220 no surprises

00:16:14.420 there of course

00:16:15.260 they just want

00:16:15.920 celebrities to

00:16:16.720 show up

00:16:17.260 they also

00:16:17.880 nominated

00:16:18.580 some conservative

00:16:19.540 podcasts like

00:16:20.420 Candace Owens

00:16:21.380 and Ben Shapiro

00:16:22.460 and Megyn Kelly

00:16:23.720 and they offered

00:16:25.060 them if they

00:16:25.680 wanted to get

00:16:26.440 more attention

00:16:27.160 and to get

00:16:27.840 some votes

00:16:28.540 they should buy

00:16:29.580 these marketing

00:16:30.320 packages

00:16:30.900 for thousands

00:16:31.780 of thousands

00:16:32.420 of dollars

00:16:33.100 and of course

00:16:34.040 none of these

00:16:34.600 conservative podcasts

00:16:35.540 from the shortlist

00:16:36.600 made it to get

00:16:38.240 nominated

00:16:39.040 surprise

00:16:39.880 surprise

00:16:40.680 so yes

00:16:41.760 when you see

00:16:42.320 all those

00:16:42.680 smiling faces

00:16:43.640 with the celebrities

00:16:44.520 walking that red carpet

00:16:46.060 please keep this

00:16:47.140 in mind

00:16:47.740 all they're trying

00:16:48.760 to do

00:16:49.320 is take away

00:16:50.460 your attention

00:16:51.160 from what's

00:16:51.820 really going on

00:16:53.000 here

00:16:53.260 they want you

00:16:54.240 to just look

00:16:54.920 at how beautiful

00:16:55.680 and perfect

00:16:56.420 they are

00:16:57.060 and how much

00:16:57.980 it means

00:16:58.480 to them

00:16:58.920 that you

00:16:59.400 are watching

00:17:00.080 them

00:17:00.420 and you're

00:17:00.820 watching

00:17:01.300 their movies

00:17:02.360 and their TV

00:17:03.140 shows

00:17:03.540 and who knows

00:17:04.240 if they win

00:17:04.860 tonight

00:17:05.260 that they're

00:17:05.680 going to go

00:17:06.060 up on that

00:17:06.640 stage

00:17:07.140 and maybe

00:17:07.740 preach to you

00:17:08.480 a little bit

00:17:08.960 about how

00:17:09.360 you should

00:17:09.800 live your

00:17:10.260 life

00:17:10.600 and what's

00:17:11.260 important

00:17:11.740 in life

00:17:12.280 and maybe

00:17:12.800 also a

00:17:13.320 political speech

00:17:14.280 about all

00:17:14.820 the corruption

00:17:15.360 in this world

00:17:16.200 but here's

00:17:16.860 the catch

00:17:17.320 the illusion

00:17:18.060 only survives

00:17:18.980 if the audience

00:17:19.920 believes it

00:17:20.860 and the moment

00:17:21.620 you don't

00:17:22.320 the red carpet

00:17:23.140 becomes just

00:17:24.000 a carpet

00:17:24.520 and the trophies

00:17:25.780 become just

00:17:26.720 objects
