The Golden Globes Were On last Night…Did you Watch it?

It was a good night, however there were a few upsets and no-shows by big name actors!

At last night’s Golden Globes, Eddie Murphy told a Will Smith joke, and host Jerrod Carmichael admitted he was only hosting because he’s black. Other highlights included Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan from “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, and Jennifer Coolidge winning for “White Lotus”.

The 80s Golden Globes returned to TV last night with celebrities and host, comedian Jerrod Carmichael.

Carmichael appeared hesitant and uneasy when he took to the stage to kick off the show from the Beverly Hilton.  He got right to the issues that drove the Globes off the TV and led much of the entertainment industry to boycott the Hollywood Foreign Press Association after it was found to have no black members since the early 2000s.

Highlights included movie maker Ryan Murphy who received the Carol Burenett award. Receiving the career-achievement award in television, “Glee” and “American Horror Story” producer Ryan Murphy spoke of his mission to bring LGBTQ characters to the screen, seeking to “take the invisible, the unloved, and make them the heroes I always longed to see but never did in pop culture.”

The event also featured a recorded message from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, who made a similar appearance at the Grammy Awards in April.

Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical “The Fabelmans” and the understated Irish period piece “The Banshees of Inisherin” claimed the top prizes at the Golden Globe Awards

Jennifer Coolidge won a best supporting actress trophy for White Lotus, but if you ask anyone, her acceptance speech won the night!

Angela Bassett, a likely Oscar frontrunner, won best supporting actress for her performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

The best actor was an upset. Austin Butler won for his performance in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis. The favourite in the category has arguably been Brendan Fraser for The Whale. 

Fraser said he would not attend because “my mother didn’t raise a hypocrite.” In 2018, Fraser said he was groped in 2003 by longtime HFPA member Philip Berk. Berk, who is no longer an HFPA member, denied it.

The public school sitcom Abbott Elementary came in as the lead TV nominee and took two awards early. Quinta Brunson, the show’s creator and star, won best actress in a comedy series, and Tyler James Williams won for his supporting role.

Next up, the Oscars will air on March 12th!
