Pro-life vid of day: Golden Globe award “better than saving a life”?
by LauraLoo
Were the twisted priorities of Hollywood liberals once again on full display during Sunday’s Golden Globe awards, or was this just a “joke” in extremely poor taste?
During his acceptance speech for the best TV comedy series, Dan Goor, co-creator of the show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, said he was happy he opted not to become a doctor as he had once planned, because winning the award was “way better than saving a human life”:

Hollywood will eat you up and spit you out. We see it all the time. :(
That award will mean nothing in light of eternity and the chance to save the lives of precious human beings.
How sad.
I think he was dead serious about it. There was no leading up to a punchline anywhere. And that comment about his 2.5 year old was lame too.
And Carla is right about the award. The golden globe is probably made in some third world country sweat shop with a total value of about five bucks. No one remembers these shows anyway. Will the writers be creative enough to keep his show going strong?
Of all those shows I’ve only heard of The Big Bang Theory, and that’s only because my oldest daughter has me order episodes of it from Amazon as Christmas gifts.
I wouldn’t know any of those other folks on the stage, or the presenters, if I fell over them.
I think it was a somewhat self-deprecating joke, delivered in a sort of tone-deaf and weird way. I work in an entertainment industry and there is always a general acknowledgment that it is, basically, a lot of blood, sweat, and backbreaking work for something that ultimately isn’t REALLY that important. After a really difficult, expensive job where the whole crew worked almost constantly on overtime, with few days off for months on end, once it was all over and everyone finally felt okay and tentatively proud, the head carpenter turned to me and said, “Just think, we could have cured cancer instead. Naaaaaaah, this was way better.” He was absolutely not actually saying that slaving away for months on end fine-tuning the accel and decel on automated scenery was better than curing cancer. It was a joke, making fun of a variety of relatively bittersweet things – what we do, how much it seems to matter at the time, how much money and effort goes into these things, etc.
Acting should never be considered as important to human survival as medicine is, but for some people a career in the arts is appropriate for them*, because that’s what they are best at and love to do.
*it often doesn’t pay very well of course, so getting an education in another field is usually a good idea of course.
Probably for the best someone like him didnt become a doctor. Im like Mary…wouldnt know most of these actors and actresses today.
As a doctor on another site commented….On behalf of the meedical community were all glad you didnt become aa doctor. He had over 900 thumbs up!
