The 73rd Golden Globes: Awards and Red Carpet<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 73rd Golden Globe Awards were held\u00a0last Sunday evening, broadcast live from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, with Ricky Gervais\u00a0hosting for\u00a0a fourth occasion. The Revenant<\/em> and The Martian<\/em>\u00a0proved the big winners, taking the Best Motion Picture awards in the categories of Drama and Musical or Comedy, while their leading men, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, went home with the two prizes for Best Actor. Brie Larson won Best Actress – Drama for Room<\/em>, and Jennifer Lawrence Best Actress – Musical or Comedy for Joy<\/em>, while in television the two awards for Best Series went respectively to Mr. Robot<\/em> and Mozart in the Jungle<\/em>. Jon Hamm was well endowed for the final series of Mad Men<\/em>, Gael Garcia Bernal and Oscar Isaac were among the major\u00a0film stars credited for their small screen performances,\u00a0and Lady Gaga\u00a0was awarded for her role in the miniseries American Horror Story: Hotel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As the first headline\u00a0event of the awards season, eyes were equally focused on the red carpet<\/a>, where there was a predominance of white and diaphanous\u00a0gowns among the women. Meanwhile Leonardo DiCaprio’s sloppy trousers and Eddie Redmayne’s spotted jacket – never mind Jason Sudeikis’ incongruous Air Jordans – left Harrison Ford and Paul Dano as the evening’s best dressed men, well attired alongside Calista Flockhart and Zoe Kazan.<\/p>\n

Architect Gareth Hoskins Dies Aged Forty-Eight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday morning brought news of the death of Gareth Hoskins<\/a>, the Scottish architect renowned for his redesign of the Royal Museum building as part of Edinburgh’s National Museum of Scotland. Hoskins, who was forty-eight years old,\u00a0suffered a heart attack while watching a fencing competition on 3 January, and died on Saturday at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.<\/p>\n

He had attended George Watson’s College and the Mackintosh School of Architecture at the Glasgow School of Art, and trained also in Florence, before founding Hoskins Architects in Glasgow in 1998. The firm established a second\u00a0base in\u00a0Berlin in 2010. Alongside the redevelopment of the Royal Museum, which was completed in 2011, Hoskins Architects<\/a>\u00a0redesigned Aberdeen Art Gallery and the World Museum in Vienna, and developed the Mareel Cinema and Music Venue in Shetland. Hoskins also served as the Scottish government’s\u00a0National Healthcare Design Champion between 2006 and 2010, working on health centres, care homes, and hospices across the United Kingdom. In 2010 he was awarded an OBE for services to architecture.<\/p>\n

NFL Confirms\u00a0Rams’ Return to Los Angeles<\/strong><\/p>\n

‘The Los Angeles Rams are back’ the NFL proclaimed on Tuesday<\/a>, after team owners voted 30-2 to ratify the Rams’ immediate relocation from St. Louis to Los Angeles. The Rams will eventually play at owner Stan Kroenke’s Los Angeles Entertainment Center, which is currently under construction in Inglewood at an estimated cost of $2.66 billion, and should be ready for the 2019 season. In the meantime they will play their games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in the University Park neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

The franchise began as the Cleveland Rams back in 1936, before moving to Los Angeles ten years later, one year after winning the 1945 NFL Championship Game. In the process the Rams became the first NFL team on the West Coast of the United States, and they remain to this day the only NFL champions to play the following\u00a0season in another city.\u00a0After the 1994 season, the Rams moved to St. Louis, the highlight of their time in Missouri coming when they won Super Bowl XXXIV in 1999, courtesy of a 23-16 victory over the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n

The Rams had been joined in Los Angeles by the Raiders in 1982, but like the Rams the Raiders departed ahead of the 1995 season, returning to Oakland. So LA began its twenty-one year term without a team in the NFL. To make their journey back to LA now, the Rams had to see off rival bids from the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers, who had joined forces to propose a new stadium in Carson. Instead the Raiders will work with the NFL towards a stadium solution in Oakland, while the Chargers face a one-year option to decide if they went to join the Rams in Inglewood: an outcome which appears likely, despite San Diego preparing for a June vote which would grant the team $350 million in public funding, and the NFL promising $100 million to both the Chargers and the Raiders if they remain in their current markets.<\/p>\n

This will be the first relocation in the NFL since the Houston Oilers moved to Nashville in 1997. Now St. Louis finds itself in a hapless position, without a team to call its own given that the Cardinals left for Phoenix before the 1988 season. St. Louis had submitted plans for a $1.1 billion stadium on the city’s riverfront in the hopes of retaining the Rams, but Kroenke was determined to return to LA, the country’s second biggest media market.<\/p>\n

Porn Film Pages of Death<\/em> Discovered by Oregon Historical Society<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tuesday the Oregon Historical Society uploaded a hitherto thought lost anti-pornography film from 1962. The faded 16mm print of Pages of Death<\/em>, which runs to 27 minutes, was discovered late last year in the society’s Moving Image collection. The film\u00a0was produced by the Hour of St. Francis radio programme, which was syndicated out of St. Joseph’s Church in Los Angeles, and distributed by the Citizens for Decent Literature, a group founded in Cincinnati by the Roman Catholic anti-pornography\u00a0campaigner Charles Keating, who later played a prominent role in the savings and loans scandal of the 1980s.<\/p>\n

John Larch, Vivi Janiss, and Paul Picerni star in the film, with the former American football player and at the time CBS sportscaster Tom Harmon\u00a0providing narration. Pages of Death<\/em> depicts an investigation into the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl, with the blame falling squarely on printed pornographic matter rather than the young male perpetrator. Indeed, the clerk at Baker’s Variety Store responsible for\u00a0stocking the ‘smut’ read by Paul Halliday – the son of a local councillor – receives the sternest condemnation from the police, his reading matter apparently teaching children that ‘it\u2019s okay to try perversion just for kicks!’.<\/p>\n
