The 70th Golden Globes were Sunday night—celebrating achievement in television and film—but the awards weren’t the only talking points in the Twitterverse. Jodie Foster won the Cecil B. DeMille award for “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment,” however her acceptance speech left some in tears and others simply confused.

So did Jodie Foster just came out, lectured on privacy, discussed her mom’s dementia and retired? Am I clear on that? Did I miss anything?Rebecca Traister
Only saw GGs part where Jodie Foster used her coming out to make fun of Honey Boo Boo. Uncouth for a Yaley, chastising a 7-yr-old.Kelli Korducki

In all seriousness, did Jodie Foster just tell us all that she’s dying or something?Zach Heltzel
That was longer than a Tarantino movie. #goldenglobesScaachi Koul
Guys, Jodie Foster is just video blogging right now.Gavin Purcell
Another celebrity actor was a big hit Sunday night: Tommy Lee Jones. He didn’t take home any awards for his role in the movie “Lincoln”, but did garner a lot of attention for being the least enthusiastic person on camera.

  • Captain America is not on fire

    Centre to right: Chris Evans plays Captain America and Sebastian Stan plays James "Bucky" Barnes in CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER (Jay Maidment / Marvel Studios)

    IN TEN WORDS OR LESS: Captain America saves the day, but not the movie.

    Hollywood seems to be grasping ever further into the past to dredge up superheroes to reinvent, and it’s becoming clear that the fad has run its course. Captain America: The First Avenger feels like a clichéd blast from the past, lacking the spunk and grit that has made other comic book movies successful. Captain America—the comic book character—was first sketched in 1941 to capture the patriotic imagination of Americans on the homefront. The revenge fantasy let readers watch our boy in red, white and blue smash Hitler’s various super-villain incarnations to pieces. Director Joe Johnston’s (The Rocketeer, Jumanji) big screen adaptation of the classic story is, in a way, too classic. The sepia-toned cityscapes and throwback accents take us back in time, but they also serve to separate us from the action.

    Set during WWII, Captain America is the tale of Steve Rogers, a scrawny, sickly kid from Brooklyn with a heart of gold who desperately wants to serve his country. He’s so persistent that he tries—and fails—to enlist in the army at five different recruitment offices in five different cities. Finally, a military scientist by the name of Dr. Abraham Erskine takes note of the boy’s tenacity and offers him the enlistment opportunity of a lifetime. One explosive lab experiment later, we have ourselves an invincible, square-jawed superhero with a jaw-droppingly chiseled torso. His mission: take down Hitler’s supernaturally powerful former second-in-command, Johann Schmidt. Continue…
