Hasta La Gadget!

Brazil, the land of samba and the carnival, not to mention buffets that can satisfy the carnivore in us, looks set to be hit by a major blow where the world of video games is concerned. Nintendo looks set to pull out from the South American country’s video game market entirely. Apparently, Nintendo will stop selling its wares in Brazil, citing the country’s high tariffs and import fees on electronics and video games. While Brazil has its fair share of Nintendo fans, they are not enough to help keep the Japanese company profitable. However, it is not all doom and gloom, since Nintendo will not be pulling out from South America completely, just Brazil, so I guess folks living there who might want to get in on some Mario action will need to hop to a nearby neighbor and pick up a Nintendo console and/or title.

Consoles are super expensive in Brazil – the PS4 itself is not exempt from this phenomenon as it costs approximately $4,000 Brazilian Real (which is close to $1,500 USD), while the Xbox One is going for R$2,200 ($800 USD thereabouts), and all of these can be attributed to Brazil’s notoriously high import fees and taxes. Microsoft has managed to keep the costs down somewhat, thanks to a local manufacturing plant in Brazil itself, but Nintendo has so far refused to erect one in Brazil.

“Transparent,” Amazon’s story about a transgender woman coming out to her family, took home the Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. The series beat out three-time nominee “Girls” as well as category newcomers “Silicon Valley,” “Orange Is the New Black” and “Jane the Virgin.” A first-time nominee itself, “Transparent” garnered rave reviews during its debut season.

Creator Jill Soloway accepted the award, and dedicated it to the memory of Leelah Alcorn, a trans teen who committed suicide in December.

“Orange Is the New Black” star Laverne Cox shared her approval of the speech on Twitter:

Thanks @jillsoloway for the shout out to #LeelahAlcorn. #TransLivesMatter

The Golden Globe for Best Original Song was awarded to John Legend and Common for their song “Glory” from the film “Selma.”

In an exclusive video shared on NME, Common and John Legend discussed how the two decided to collaborate together, explaining that the song is meant to capture the spirit of fighting for change that is demonstrated in the film and the inequality that “still exists.”

“The first day I stepped on the set of ‘Selma’ I began to feel like this was bigger than a movie,” Common said during his acceptance speech. “As I got to know the people of the Civil Rights Movement I realized I am the hopeful black woman who was denied her right to vote. I am the caring white supporter killed on the front lines of freedom. I am the unarmed black kid who maybe needed a hand, but instead was given a bullet. I am the two fallen police officers murdered in the line of duty. ‘Selma’ has awakened my humanity.”

This is Common and John Legend’s first nomination and win, beating out Lorde’s “Yellow Flicker Beat” (from “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1”), Lana Del Rey’s “Big Eyes” (from “Big Eyes”), Patti Smith and Lenny Kaye’s “Mercy Is” (from “Noah”) and Sia and Greg Kurstin’s “Opportunity” (from “Annie”).

U2 and Danger Mouse’s “Ordinary Love” was crowned Best Original Song at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, from the soundtrack to the film “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.”

Amy Adams won Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy at the 2015 Golden Globes for “Big Eyes” in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

In the fact-based drama directed by Tim Burton, Amy Adams plays American artist Margaret Keane, whose husband (Christoph Waltz) stole the credit for her artwork. Adams defeated Julianne Moore, (“Maps to the Stars”), Emily Blunt (“Into the Woods”), Helen Mirren (“The Hundred Foot Journey”) and Quvenzhane Wallis (“Annie”) for the honor. This is her second Golden Globe award and sixth Golden Globe nomination.

The Golden Globes red carpet is like a glorified fashion show, with stunning gowns and amazing heels galore. As the event that kicks off award show season, the pressure is most certainly on. Many celebs were up for the challenge and completely wowed us in some dresses for the ages. We were so distracted by all the beautiful looks, we almost forgot that the red carpet isn’t the entire show.

The theme of the night appeared to be yellow dresses, with A-listers like Naomi Watts, Jenna Dewan Tatum and Leslie Mann really standing out from the pack in the bright hue. Another consistent trend was strapless necklines, which were seen on Viola Davis, Reese Witherspoon and more, with stunning results.
