Historically, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was a night of revelry. Wearing flashy frocks and tuxedos, our favorite actors jumped for drinks and were set on fire by Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and even the fire-breathing Ricky Gervais.

And Carmichael as host failed not only to keep the momentum going, but also to deal with the HFPA’s controversial laundry list in a clever way. If so, what purpose does it serve?
