Okay, when U2 won the Golden Globe over “Let It Go,” I figured it was just those kooky foreign press folks throwing a bone to the Irish lads and the Mandela picture.

> [@expectopatronum](#): > > gaffa- what’s wrong with ellen? Actually that’s just what I’m thinking. What _is_ wrong with Ellen? I know that she can be a hell of lot funnier than this. Maybe they have her on a tight leash but whatever the problem she is completely flat tonight. ---
