Back in 2017, the staff at an independent coffee shop in Toronto started an online campaign to get Idris Elba to visit while he was in town for the Toronto International Film Festival. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the British actor was a no-show. This time around, the folks at Grinder Coffee decided to turn their attention to some home-grown talent, and the results were far more satisfactory.

Joelle Murray, the shop’s owner, decided that her mark for 2018 was Ryan Gosling, who was in town to promote his film First Man. She spent the week of the festival posting photos with a cardboard cutout of the Ontario-born actor, launching the #ryanneedsgrinder campaign across social media. It wasn’t long before the pleas were picked up by local news organizations and blogs, and eventually, they found their way to the man himself. What else was this nice Canadian boy to do except drop by for a drink, as requested?

The sweet story has been recorded on social media by the coffee shop, but also by Joelle’s nephew, who shared the events, with a very touching commentary about his aunt, on Twitter. Keep reading to see how it all played out.

She always treats her employees fairly, is an active voice in the neighbourhood, and is one of the funniest and most genuine people you’ll meet.

But lo and behold, her story gets picked up by blogTO, CityTV and the fucking CBC. All of a sudden, her super-low-budget grassroots campaign has legs. People love it – and, I suspect it’s also due in large part to Joelle’s charisma.

So sure enough, Ryan Gosling actually ends up visiting her shop today. In her words, “he just showed up and told me he saw the whole campaign, I told him next time he comes for dinner and a playdate.”

Oh, and I also asked her how he smelled, and she said, “really good!”

A throwback to classic musicals like Singin’ in the Rain and An American in Paris, the film scored a record, tying 14 nominations including slots in the five major categories: Best Picture, Best Director (Damien Chazelle), Best Original Screenplay (Chazelle), Best Actor (Ryan Gosling), and Best Actress (Emma Stone).

Two songs from the picture (“City of Stars” and “Audition (The Fools Who Dream)”) were also recognized in the Best Original Song category.

The Oscars were accused in recent years for it’s lack of diversity (remember #OscarSoWhite?) but this year a wide array of talented filmmakers, actors, and actresses received nominations.

Notable nods include: Fences, Lion, Hidden Figures, and Moonlight for Best Picture, Denzel Washington (Fences), Ruth Negga (Loving) , Mahershala Ali (Moonlight), Dev Patel (Lion), Viola Davis (Fences), Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures), and Naomie Harris (Moonlight) in acting categories and Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins for director.

Golden Globe Best Picture winners La La Land and Moonlight are expected to be the top contenders for Best Picture along with Manchester by the Sea. The three movies are among nine pictures competing for the best film of the year.

As always, there are plenty of snubs and surprises. Among those missing out this year are Amy Adams (Arrival) for Best Actress, Martin Scorsese (Silence) and Clint Eastwood (Sully) for Best Director and Tom Hanks (Sully) for Best Actor.

Jimmy Fallon kicked off the award show with a star-studded opening performance based on the award-winning film La La Land.

The Tonight Show host enlisted everyone from Nicole Kidman and Amy Adams to the talented cast (yes, even Barb) of Stranger Things in the highly entertaining musical performance. Fallon also made a little fun of himself during a bromantic dance sequence with his pal Justin Timberlake.

When Fallon hit the Globes stage, he started off his speech cold – literally – because the teleprompter broke right before going live. He handled it like a pro and the show went off without a hitch.

Other memorable moments included Kristen Wiig and Steve Carrell’s hilarious skit before announcing the winner (Zootopia) of Best Animated Movie.

In addition, Ryan Gosling made a heartfelt speech while accepting his Globe for Best Actor in a Movie – Comedy or Musical. The star thanked his partner, Eva Mendes, for being so supportive of him during the filming of La La Land before dedicating his award to her late brother who passed away from cancer.

Finally, Meryl Streep made waves after her speech to accept the Cecil B. Demille Award. The renowned actress talked about respect and empathy and how important it is in today’s volatile world.

As for the winners, La La Land was the darling of the night, taking home seven wins including Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Movie. Other notable wins included Tracee Ellis Ross for Best Actress in a Television Comedy for her role in Black-ish and Donald Glover’s win for his performance in Atlanta.

Moonlight took home the Best Movie – Drama win, while Casey Affleck made his mark on Hollywood with a win for Best Actor in a Drama for his role in Manchester By the Sea.

What You’ll Do

Replicants and human flesh-beings rejoice! The Blade Runner series is back and Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford are inviting you and a guest to join them in experiencing a dystopian future in the present day. For the price of a movie ticket, you could fly to Budapest, take a tour of the set and watch a scene come to life. Afraid of spoilers? We can cover your ears for the latter. You’ll also get to sit down for a private lunch with Ryan himself, so make sure you come Hungary. (Sorry, we’ll see ourselves out.) Some moments are lost in time like tears in the rain; our cameras will make sure this isn’t one of them. Pictures, flights and hotel are all included.

Who You’ll Help

The post Ryan Gosling And Harrison Ford Team Up With OMAZE To Support Three Amazing Causes appeared first on Positive Celebrity News, Good Celebrity Gossip, Positive Entertainment News | Good Celebrity.

Excerpts from Pitt’s letter reads: “As you know, these birds producing eggs for your shelves are crammed five or more into cages that are not large enough for even one hen to spread her wings. In these cruel cages, the animals’ muscles and bones atrophy from years of immobilization. That’s why the cages are illegal in most of Europe, and why California banned the cages by an overwhelming vote years ago. In short, cramming hens into cages for their entire lives constitutes cruelty to animals, and animals deserve better. As you know, many major corporations, from Burger King to Unilever, are getting rid of cages—and Whole Foods hasn’t sold eggs from caged hens in years. I admire Costco’s many positive social commitments. You’ve shown great courage and integrity on a range of issues. Won’t you please extend that sensibility—and basic decency—to chickens? Please, will you set a reasonable timeframe to stop selling eggs from caged hens?”

Costco first announced plans to move towards cage-free eggs back in 2007, but the company has yet to set a timeline for that goal. The long wait has sent not only customers, but as made evident, some celebrities in uproar. According to Yahoo, Costco has yet to respond to either Brad Pitt or Ryan Gosling, but the general hope is that things will change soon, for the better.

The post Brad Pitt Defends Ryan Gosling’s Chicks, Too appeared first on Positive Celebrity News, Good Celebrity Gossip, Positive Entertainment News | Good Celebrity.

CEO of Costco, Craig Jelinek, received a letter from Gosling explaining that a video filmed by the Humane Society during an undercover investigation shows the less than favorable situation. Footage shows a multitude of rows containing chickens packed into cages they clearly don’t all fit in. The tiny space holds many dead chickens which haven’t been removed, and this is the area in which the birds eat, sleep and lay the eggs sold at Costco. The senior policy director for the Humane Society, Matt Prescott, explained that Costco made a promise to switch over to only selling free-range eggs about eight years ago, but has yet to make this promise come true. The hope is that, maybe, with a bit of celebrity push, this eight-year-old promise will become a reality and free-range eggs will be the only available eggs at Costco.
