The 2015 Golden Globes are slinking towards us, ready to fire the starting pistol on a race that will end sometime in late February and leave us wondering how we could possibly be at Fug Madness time already. So let’s rewind ten years and examine the assorted horrors and majesties of the 2005 Golden Globe Awards, and let’s face it… there are more horrors than majesties. Helen Mirren is in a satin cape, or something, y’all. It was a Very Different Time.
Also, if you’re curious, after the jump I put a list of what won that year.
