Golden Globes Awards 2023

Ryan Murphy accepts the Carol Burnett Award from presenter Billy Porter.

Producer Ryan Murphy has received the Carol Burnett Award.

“The Carol Burnett Award was created in 2018 to honor excellence in television. The award was presented for the first time at the 76th Golden Globe Awards, on January 6, 2019,” according to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Zendaya in “Euphoria”

The award for the best performance by an actress in a drama television series went to Zendaya for her role in “Euphoria.”

Zendaya was not able to make it to the Golden Globes, so she did not accept the award on stage.

Host Jerrod Carmichael speaks onstage at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards on January 10.

Host Jerrod Carmichael returned from a commercial break holding three Golden Globe trophies and made a joke that made the audience gasp.

Miscavige is the wife of Scientology leader David Miscavige.

Carmichael held the trophies because Tom Cruise, a member of the Church of Scientology, returned his three Golden Globes in 2021 amid the Hollywood Foreign Press Association controversy.

Chloe Flower arrives to the Golden Globe Awards.

Globes’ pianist Chloe Flower, who has composed music for Misty Copeland and Kevin Hart among others, was blamed by some stars for the walk-off music that was played to shorten their speeches.

But she wasn’t responsible, posting on Twitter that she would not interrupt speakers.

While accepting awards, Michelle Yeoh of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” told the person responsible for playing her off that she could “beat” them up, while “Banshees of Inisherin” star Colin Farrell said: “You can forget that piano.”

Editor’s note: Story has been updated to reflect Flower’s post that she wasn’t playing the music that interrupted the speakers.

Julia Garner in “Ozark”

Julia Garner took home the Golden Globe for her role in “Ozark.”

She thanked her husband while onstage.

Garner is also nominated tonight for best actress in a limited series, anthology series, or motion picture made for television for her portrayal of faux-heiress Anna Sorokin (Anna Delvey) in Netflix’s “Inventing Anna.”

Austin Butler in “Elvis”

Austin Butler has won the Golden Globe for best actor in a motion picture drama for performance of Elvis Presley in the movie “Elvis.”

It is his first nomination and first win.

Butler thanked the Presley family for “opening your hearts, your memories, your home to me.” And lastly, Butler thanked “Elvis Presley himself — you were an icon and a rebel and I love you so much.”

Five of the opening seven awards to performers went to people of color, including Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan for the sci-fi comedy “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” and Angela Bassett for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” the Marvel sequel. Both films were broadly popular, as opposed to more narrowly skewed art-house fare.

Honored for his comeback role after a long acting hiatus, Quan expressed gratitude to Steven Spielberg, who cast him as a child in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,” a nominee this year for directing his autobiographical movie “The Fabelmans.” Bassett spoke of the late Chadwick Boseman, and how the movies were part of his legacy.

Quinta Brunson and Tyler James Williams were also recognized for the ABC sitcom “Abbott Elementary,” the rare series on a broadcast network to make inroads in the awards arena.

Consisting of international journalists, the HFPA has traditionally favored European talent. Colin Farrell won best actor in a musical or comedy for “The Banshees of Inisherin.”

Colin Farrell accepts his award.

When Golden Globes producers attempted to play Michelle Yeoh off with music, she wasn’t having it.

Yeoh went on to complete her full speech, the first one to beat the music.

So far she’s been the only one who has beat the piano, but not the only one to get sassy with the show’s producers.

“You can forget that piano,” Colin Farrell said during his acceptance speech.

“You can at least play ‘Suspicious Minds’ or something,” Austin Butler said during his speech.

Other victims of the “wrap it up” piano Tuesday included M. M. Keeravani, Jeremy Allen White, Quinta Brunson and the cast of “Abbott Elementary,” Paul Walter Hauser, Jennifer Coolidge and Mike White.

Michelle Yeoh accepts her award on stage.

Actress Michelle Yeoh reflected on an early encounter when she first came to Hollywood, California.

Michelle Yeoh in “Everything Everywhere All At Once”

The award for best actress in a comedy or musical motion picture goes to Michelle Yeoh for her role as Evelyn Quan Wang in the film, “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”

“Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio”

Guillermo del Toro won the Golden Globe for best animated film for “Pinocchio.”

And the director opened his remarks by noting: “Some of us are drunk, what could be better?”

Citing what he said was a great year for animation, del Toro said animation is not just for children.

Quinta Bruson in “Abbott Elementary”

Quinta Brunson took home the Golden Globe for her role in “Abbott Elementary.”

Brunson also created the show, thanking Disney and WarnerBros.

Brunson said she was thankful the show resonated with so many people and the producers who helped make her show a success.

She thanked her team and her cast, saying, “I appreciate it.”

Colin Farrell in “The Banshees of Inisherin”

Colin Farrell has won the Golden Globe for best actor in a musical or comedy film for his role in “The Banshees of Inisherin.”

He also thanked Brendan Gleeson who plays the musician Colm in the film, saying, “All I did when I came to work every day is to aspire to be your equal.”

Even though Inisherin is not a real place, the movie was filmed on real Irish islands and Farrell was sure to thank the locals who live there.

Jeremy Allen White accepts his award.

“The Bear” actor Jeremy Allen White thanked the late talent manager Chris Huvane while accepting his award for best performance by an actor in a musical or comedy TV series.

Huvane died in 2022.

Jeremy Allen White in “The Bear”

The award for best performance by an actor in a musical or comedy television series goes to Jeremy Allen White for his role as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in the FX show, “The Bear.”

White, previously best known for his role in Showtime’s “Shameless,” bested some major MVPs on his road to Globes gold. Steve Martin (“Only Murders in the Building”), Martin Short (“Only Murders in the Building”), Bill Hader (“Barry”) and Donald Glover (”Atlanta”) joined him in the category, and all four have been nominated in the category in recent years.

This was White’s first Golden Globe nomination.

M. M. Keeravani accepts the Best Original Song award for "Naatu Naatu.”

In an ironic turn at the Golden Globes, “Naatu Naatu” composer M. M. Keeravani was played offstage during his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. After thanking his family, he continued on with one last thank you while music played him off.

“Babylon”

Justin Hurwitz said he was very grateful to discover at a young age that music was the “thing for me,” as he accepted the Golden Globe for best original score motion picture for the movie “Babylon.”

“RRR”

The best original song in a motion picture has been awarded to Kala Bhairava, M. M. Keeravani, Rahul Sipligunj for writing the song “Naatu Naatu” in the film “RRR.”

Tyler James Williams on "Abbott Elementary"

Tyler James Williams has won for best performance by an actor in a supporting role for his part in the show “Abbott Elementary.” The category was for specifically a limited series or motion picture made for television.

It is his first nomination and first Golden Globe win.

James Williams, who plays Gregory Eddie in “Abbott Elementary,” said he hopes his Globe win is a tribute to his character’s story.

Ke Huy Quan accepts his best supporting actor in a motion picture award for "Everything Everywhere All at Once" on Tuesday, January 10.

Huy Quan became emotional when accepting his award for best-supporting actor in a motion picture.

Angela Bassett in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”

Angela Bassett has won best supporting actress for her role in “Black Panther, Wakanda Forever.”

Jennifer Hudson read her name aloud as the winner, saying “Angela Bassett baby!”

Bassett had a speech ready on her phone, saying that courage, faith, and patience are required in a life with many unexpected detours.

“I stand here grateful,” she told the crowd, thanking producers, her team, and quoted her mother as saying, “good things come to those who pray.”

She thanked Marvel and Disney, the cast and the crew for embarking on the movie journey together.

Finally, she remembered the late Chadwick Boseman, and thanked the Marvel fans for the love.

Ke Huy Quan in “Everything Everywhere All At Once”

Actor Ke Huy Quan has won the award for best supporting actor in a motion picture for his role as Waymond Wang in the movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Before his winsome turn in “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Quan was best known for two very popular films — from roughly 40 years ago.

The actor was first discovered in Steven Spielberg’s epic sequel “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1984 as Indy’s sidekick Short Round, before portraying Data in another ’80s classic, “Goonies,” one year later. His comeback in 2022’s artful and inventive sleeper hit “Everything Everywhere” has been just one of many of the film’s crowning achievements.

Host Jerrod Carmichael speaks onstage.

“I’m here because I’m Black,” Jerrod Carmichael told the crowd of his hosting duties.

Calling out the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which runs the Golden Globes, for not having a single Black member since George Floyd died, he said that he was at home drinking tea when he got a call from producers asking him to host.

Instead, the producer told him he is charming, talented and one of the greatest comedians of a generation.

Carmichael said he called a friend, Avery, who asked what he was being paid. When he answered “$500,000,” she advised him he’d better take the job.

The Golden Globe awards are now underway — and back on television after being taken off the airwaves last year.

The Globes, which celebrate some of the best movies and TV shows of the year, come as its organizers in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association work to redeem themselves from controversy.

Jerrod Carmichael is hosting for the first time. There is also a star-studded list of presenters — including Jennifer Coolidge, Hilary Swank, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ana de Armas.

Jenna Ortega arrives at the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday.

Jenna Ortega, the star of the hit Netflix show “Wednesday,” which has been nominated for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, told E! News she feels like Hollywood is starting to open its doors to more Latinx people.

“I feel very fulfilled,” she added.

Ortega is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for her role as Wednesday Addams in the show.

The list of nominees also features several other Latinx people, including Selena Gomez for her role in “Only Murders in the Building,” Aubrey Plaza in “White Lotus,” Diego Calva in the film “Babylon” and Diego Luna for his part in “Andor.”

As for the future of “Wednesday,” Ortega said she wants to see season 2 take a darker turn and embrace “the horror aspect a little bit more.” While fans wait for more episodes, she said a writers room just got together to develop the next chapter.

After a history punctuated by dysfunction and scandal, the Golden Globes struck a TV deal with NBC in the 1990s that solidified their place as a major TV and awards event. Now, after another controversy drove the ceremony off the air in 2022, the Globes return to NBC Tuesday for an 80th anniversary dogged by questions as to how diluted and damaged the brand might be.

The latest troubles began almost two years ago, in February 2021, when the Los Angeles Times published a detailed story documenting the lack of Black members within the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., which presents the awards, and potential ethical transgressions related to its then-roster of 87 international journalists.

The HFPA was thrown into crisis mode, with Hollywood figures distancing themselves from the ceremony. In response, a group of publicists called upon the HFPA to implement “profound and lasting change” for its “pervasive practice of discriminatory behavior, unprofessionalism, ethical impropriety and alleged financial corruption.”

In their letter, the publicists added that they could not advise their clients to take part in the Globes without the organization addressing those concerns.

NBC dropped the broadcast that May. Tom Cruise announced that he would return his three Globe trophies. By August, the HFPA laid out plans for a series of reforms that included expanding its roster of voting members and pledging to bring more people of color into the body.

Since then, skepticism has lingered about the HFPA’s progress, and whether studios, publicists and high-profile stars would return after a non-televised ceremony was rather quietly held last year.

In September, NBC announced that it would again broadcast the Globes, and various performers have already agreed to appear at the event, which will be hosted by comic Jerrod Carmichael and honor Eddie Murphy with a career-achievement award.

The Golden Globes are back – after controversy kept the awards off the air last year.

Last year’s event was untelevised after NBC temporarily ended its decades-long relationship amid mounting questions over the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s lack of diversity and ethical questions related to financial benefits given to some members, stemming from a Los Angeles Times investigation.

In September, when it was announced that the show would be returning to NBC, a press release at the time stated that it would be a one-year agreement.

During the 2022 event, the HFPA did address the criticism stemming from its lack of Black members in the organization.

Since then, the HFPA has added 103 new voters in recent months and has touted that its voting body is “now 52% female” and “51.5% racially and ethnically diverse.”

Porter has three previous Golden Globe nominations for the television show “Pose.”

Emma Corrin arrives at the Governors Awards in 2022.

If anyone is looking for a fresh start in the new year, it’s the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The organization responsible for putting on the Golden Globes is back in full force this year, after an unwelcome hiatus that saw the 2022 edition of the awards miss a telecast. It came after the HFPA was accused in 2021 of being a largely and homogeneously White organization sorely lacking in diversity.

Efforts have been made to make progress in the time since, as the Globes try to rebrand as an award show that’s finally of this century.

The conversation about getting rid of gendered categories in performance awards is far from new: Actors such as Emma Corrin, who won a Golden Globe in 2021 for their role as Princess Diana in “The Crown,” have contributed to the sentiment.

The Grammys got rid of gender-based categories in 2011, as part of a large-scale overhaul of the legacy music awards event, and the MTV Movie and TV Awards did away with them in 2017.

Aside from being forward-thinking, following suit would be a smart move for the Golden Globes as it is one of the few events to cover both the film and TV mediums, thereby creating an overwhelming multitude of acting categories in limited series, regular series, as well as films, along with the same in supporting acting categories. Practically speaking, removing gendered categories would be a time saver – something audiences always appreciate when it comes to bloated-feeling award shows.

But, more importantly, it would be a step away from an increasingly archaic way of looking at art and artists and an invitation to performers from all mediums to freely be themselves and still have an opportunity to get recognized.

It’s Tuesday night and stars are arriving to the Golden Globes.

But — that is unusual. The Globes are not typically held on a Tuesday. Historically, the show has been set for a Sunday in early January.

The change of date this year is because of NBC’s busy schedule. The network agreed to put the Globes back on its airwaves in 2023 after dropping the broadcast in 2022 following controversy around the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The Globes couldn’t be on Sunday, Jan. 8, because of Sunday Night Football. The NFL extended its regular season in 2021. However, because NBC was not airing the Golden Globes last year, there wasn’t a conflict. And in 2021, the show was postponed and presented virtually in February because of the pandemic.

Additionally, the NCAA College Football Playoff National Championship game took place Monday, Jan. 9, causing NBC to decide to push the Globes until Tuesday, according to Variety.

Having the Golden Globes next Sunday, Jan. 15, also wasn’t going to work because it would conflict with the Critics’ Choice Awards.

Stars are arriving on the red carpet for the 80th Golden Globe Awards. Check out some of the best looks.

Brendan Fraser attends a screening for “The Whale" in New York on November 29.

Brendan Fraser, who has garnered considerable awards buzz (and a Golden Globe nomination) for his starring turn in “The Whale,” says he does not plan on attending this year’s Globes ceremony, citing his “history” with the organization.

Fraser is seemingly referring to the 2018 allegations the actor made against the former president of the HFPA, Philip Berk, whom he alleges groped him at an event in 2003.

After Fraser’s allegations, the HFPA released a statement that said it was “investigating further details surrounding the incident” and that it “stands firmly against sexual harassment.”

Behind the scenes, Fraser claimed to GQ, the organization ultimately came back to him and proposed issuing a joint statement that said, according to him, “Although it was concluded that Mr. Berk inappropriately touched Mr. Fraser, the evidence supports that it was intended to be taken as a joke and not as a sexual advance.”

Berk confirmed to CNN that a joint statement had been presented to Fraser and that it was a summary of an independent investigation commissioned by the HFPA. Ultimately, it was released as a statement by the group without Fraser’s co-signature.

Berk also reasserted his opposition to Fraser’s accusation, calling it “absurd.”

After Fraser’s allegations, Berk remained an active member of the HFPA until 2021, when he was expelled for disseminating an article to fellow HFPA members that referred to Black Lives Matter as a “racist hate movement.”

Further HFPA controversy: The Golden Globes, long considered the lead-up to the Oscars, also came under fire in 2021 after it was revealed by the Los Angeles Times that the association contained no Black voting members.

Despite the organization’s attempts to address the controversy and other ethics concerns, NBC severed broadcast ties with the organization, pending the group’s efforts to enact “meaningful reform.” The 2022 Golden Globes were not aired on television. NBC announced in September that the show would return to the air in 2023, citing the HFPA’s “commitment to ongoing change,” adding that it would be a one-year agreement.

Jerrod Carmichael, here in September, will host the Golden Globe Awards.

Jerrod Carmichael will host the 2023 Golden Globes.

Carmichael rose to fame in the 2014 comedy film, “Neighbors.” Later that same year, he released his first HBO stand-up comedy special, “Love at the Store,” directed by Spike Lee.

Most recently he made his directorial debut with “On the Count of Three,” in which he starred, along with Tiffany Haddish, J. B. Smoove, Lavell Crawford and Henry Winkler.

This year’s Globes ceremony comes back on air after last year’s event was untelevised. NBC temporarily ended its decades-long relationship amid mounting questions over the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s lack of diversity and ethical questions.

In September, when it was announced that the show would be returning to NBC, a press release at the time stated that it would be a one-year agreement.

The 80th Golden Globe Awards will be presented – and televised – on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT.

The Globes, which celebrate some of the best movies and TV shows of the year, come as its organizers in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association work to redeem themselves from controversy, which resulted in the 2022 ceremony going untelevised.

Tonight’s award show will broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles on NBC and will stream simultaneously on Peacock.

A crew member is reflected in pools of water Monday while setting up the red carpet for Tuesday's Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles.

The Golden Globes have been working to keep its red carpet dry as rain soaked the Beverly Hills, California, area ahead of the show. The show is held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles — an area that has been threatened by extreme flooding caused by a series of storms hitting the West Coast in recent days.

But there is a glimmer of hope: After getting hammered with heavy rain from late Monday into Tuesday, Southern California is beginning to see a break. Isolated showers are still possible in the next few hours, but hopefully the Globes will be able to dodge them in Beverly Hills.

The show will go on, rain or shine. The Globes tweeted a preview of the red carpet, showing a tent over the entire thing to make sure everyone stays dry.

Across California: More rain is dropping across the state Tuesday, threatening more flooding and disruption as part of a parade of storms that have forced thousands to evacuate and prompted dozens of rescues in recent days and left more than 16 dead in recent weeks.

More than 20 million Californians – which is about 10% of the US population – are under flood alerts as the risk of mudslides also spreads to the Los Angeles and San Diego areas.
