Julianne Moore accepts the best actress award for Mini-Series or TV Movie, 'Game Change.' at the Golden Globes.
Conservatives were liberal with their outrage over the success of âGame Changeâ at Sunday nightâs Golden Globes.
The HBO telepic about the selection of then Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as the GOPâs vice presidential candidate during the 2008 election took home three major awards - including one for best mini-series or motion picture made for television.
Actress Julianne Moore also was feted with a statuette for her portrayal of Palin, a performance that received pans from right-wingers.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh gave a big thumbs down to the Globes for providing liberals with a platform to continue to attack Palin.
âThis show [Game Change] won three Golden Globes last night, and you know why?â Limbaugh said on Monday's show. âSo that everyone involved could walk up to the stage and once again bash Sarah Palin, knowing full well there wouldnât be anyone there to defend her. Knowing full well there isnât going to be anyone today to defend her.â
âOnce the left targets anybody for destruction, thereâs no standing in their way. So this is the procedure, this is how it happens.â
âIt comes as no surprise that the Hollywood Foreign Press recognized another Hollywood group, HBO, for their work of fiction and awarded a prize for best fictional filmmaking," Jason Recher, Palin's former advisor, told CNN Monday morning.

"The reality was an original American story, not a screenplay by people who only imagined events to fit their fiction."
To add insult to injury, Moore didnât exactly hide her political leanings during her acceptance speech.
âI would like to give a shout out to two people who made a significant difference in the 2008 election â" Tina Fey and Katie Couric,â she said, obvious reference to Feyâs lampooning of the self-proclaimed hockey mom on âSaturday Night Liveâ and Palinâs embarrassing interview with Couric.

After âGame Changeâ received its third Golden Globe Sunday night, director Jay Roach told Moore, âNow with you and Tina Fey, we have three of the most incredible impersonations of Sarah Palin...counting Sarah Palin.â
Roach had long claimed that the filmmakers had strived to create a balanced portrayal of the former Alaska governor.
âAny objective viewer would tell you the HBO telefilm "Game Change" was a mess, a poorly orchestrated hit piece on Sarah Palin that bordered on parody while pretending to tell a political cautionary tale,â wrote Christian Toto for Brietbartâs Big Hollywood.
That isn't stopping the entertainment industry from heaping award atop award on the film.
âHollywood product continues to thumb its nose at half the country, and the people who vote for the industry's biggest awards are only too eager to do the same,â Toto wrote.
It also didnât escape conservativesâ notice that former president Bill Clinton was invited to present on stage at the Globes.
âKudos to the Golden Globe audience for not rushing the stage all Belieber-like at Clinton,â tweeted right-wing radio host Dana Loesch. â Oh, thatâs after.â
