TJ Walker’s List--Ten Most Notable (Best and Worst) Golden Globe Awards Presenters

NEW YORK CITY—With hundreds of millions of worldwide viewers, The Golden Globe Awards was a showcase for the best and worst public speaking skills on earth. Noted public speaking coach and media trainer TJ Walker rated the best and the worst of the presenters. Each presenter was rated in 10 separate categories on a 1 worst--10 best scale.

Worst Presenters

#1 Al Pacino (2.1 score) Walker said, “Pacino looked and sounded like he was auditioning for the starring role in “Rain Man, the Homeless Years.”

#2 Ricky Gervais (2.2) Walker said, “Gervais hails from the eloquent land of Churchill and Blair, yet Gervais sounded more like Beavis and Butthead. Ricky couldn’t have been less prepared if he had wondered on stage in his bathrobe while scratching himself.”

#3 Diane Keaton (2.9) Walker said, “Why does an award-wining actress have to whip out a little piece of paper and read like she is a nervous 7^th grader running for student council hall monitor? NBC almost bleeped out when Keaton uttered the word ‘shit’ for no apparent reason. The Dick Clark production would have been better if Keaton’s entire presentation had been bleeped out.”

# 4 Sarah Jessica Parker (3.1) Walker said, “Parker my be loveable, but she’s a bit long-in-the-tooth for her Valley Girl act of um's, uh's, and gurgles that replace actual words and language.”

#5 Renee Zellweger (4.4) Walker said, “If Zellweger’s goal was to establish a new world record for the number of times she could say “uh” and “um” in a two-minute speech, she succeeded (I lost count after 23 um’s).”

Best Presenters

#1 Bill Murray (9.7 score) Walker said, “Murray was a pro. He was funny, unique, self-deprecating, engaging, short, and articulate. He was prepared without seeming canned. Murray made the most of his time in front of hundreds of millions of people, and he made it look effortless.”
