The controversial Golden Globe Awards returned to the network on Tuesday night after a lengthy hiatus owing to ethical charges and a lack of diversity in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s voting body.
The ABC comedy “Abbott Elementary” won three awards, including the highest comedy category, and Season 2 of HBO’s “The White Lotus” won two, including one for favorite rambling star Jennifer Coolidge. Meanwhile, HBO’s “House of the Dragon” won the award for “Best Television Series — Drama.”
On the film front, Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” and Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin” took home the top honours for drama and comedy, respectively, with Speilberg also winning Best Director.

Eddie Murphy suggests non-violence is a good way of life
“Saturday Night Live” alum Tracy Morgan and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” star Jamie Lee Curtis saluted six-time Golden Globe nominee Eddie Murphy, an early “SNL” star who was the recipient of the 2023 Cecil B. DeMille Award, which is presented to “a talented individual for their outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment,” according to the HFPA.
“I’ve been in show business for 46 years and in the movie business for 41 years, so this has been a long time in the making and is greatly appreciated,” Murphy said from the podium. He also offered advice to “up-and-coming dreamers and artists” in the auditorium.
“There is a definitive blueprint you can follow to achieve success, prosperity and peace of mind. There’s a blueprint and I’ve followed it my whole career: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out of your f–king mouth!” he said with a shout, in a nod to Smith’s infamous slap of Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Murphy — who in 2020 nabbed an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for guest-hosting “SNL” — is known for films including Golden Globe-nominated “Dolemite Is My Name,” “Coming to America,” “The Nutty Professor,” “Shrek,” “Dr. Dolittle,” “Norbit” and “Beverly Hills Cop.”
Jennifer Coolidge thanks Mike White for giving her work — and a social life
During her acceptance speech, a teary Jennifer Coolidge acknowledged how she survived on a diet of simmering parts — rather than boiling-over blockbusters — during her career.
“There were, like, five people who kept me going for 20 years with these little jobs. Ryan Murphy, you were one of ‘em,” she said, saluting the uber-producer, who was also honored Tuesday night. “I had such big dreams and expectations as a younger person. But what happened was that they get sort of fizzled by life or whatever.”
She also pinpointed “The White Lotus” creator Mike White, who [SPOILER ALERT] gave her character, Tanya, an inglorious death at the end of Season 2. “You’ve given me hope. Even though this is the end – because you did kill me off — but it doesn’t matter because even if this is the end, you sort of changed my life in a million different ways.”
She then joked that her neighbors were finally speaking to her and she was getting invited to parties more — all because of White.
“He really is one of the greatest people I’ve ever met. He gives me so much excitement.
“You make people want to live longer,” she told him directly, before adding in a final slap about her “White Lotus” character’s demise: “And I didn’t.”

‘There will be no third world war. It is not a trilogy.’
Actor Sean Penn introduced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is still engaged in a long war with Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin. Zelensky alluded to previous World Wars in a surprise taped address to the Golden Globes audience.
“It is now 2023. The war in Ukraine is not over yet — and it is already clear who will win,” he said to cheers from the audience. “There are still battles and tears there, but now I can definitely tell you who was the best in the previous year: It was you, the free people of the free world. Those who united around the support of the free Ukrainian people in our common struggle for freedom and democracy. For the right to live, to love, to give birth, no matter who you are, no matter where you are from, no matter who you are with.
“The first World War claimed millions of lives; the second World War claimed tens of millions of them. There will be no third world war. It is not a trilogy,” Zelensky continued, borrowing a film term. “Ukraine will stop Russian aggression on our land. We will make it together with a whole, free world. And I hope that all of you will be with us on the victorious day — the day of our victory.”

Ryan Murphy is recognized for his work and industry impact
Five-time Golden Globe Award-winner and 16-time nominee Ryan Murphy received the Carol Burnett Award.
The honor — presented by multihyphenate “Pose” star Billy Porter — recognizes a “body of work and the lasting impact that their television career achievements have had on both the industry and audiences.”
In his acceptance remarks, Murphy first acknowledged “Pose” star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez for making history as the first transgender actress to win a Golden Globe last year. He also pinpointed other LGBTQ performers in the audience, including Porter, Niecy Nash, Matt Bomer and Jeremy Pope. “Jeremy Pope is the future,” he noted, suggesting the young actor is destined for an Oscar — and further offered up the collective of performers offered” examples of possibility” for others in Hollywood.
Tony- and Emmy-winner Murphy is known for an extensive number of television and streaming programs, including “Pose,” “The Watcher,” “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” “Hollywood,” “The Normal Heart,” “Popular,” “Nip/Tuck,” “Glee,” “American Horror Story,” “American Crime Story,” “Feud,” “Scream Queens,” “9-1-1” and many more.
Shots fired at Scientology
Between awards, host Jerrod Carmichael marched onstage holding three Golden Globes, saying they belonged to actor and mega-Scientologist Tom Cruise. “I have a pitch — I think maybe we have these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige,” he said, referring to the infamously missing wife of Scientology leader — and Cruise pal — David Miscavige.
It was a brave shot fired against the notoriously aggressive organization. Alas, the joke didn’t land, and Carmichael was met with a harsh “oooh.”
Perhaps there were too many Scientologists in the audience.

Don’t mess with Michelle
Longtime, renowned action star Michelle Yeoh — who won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” — threatened musicians when they attempted to play her off the stage during her acceptance speech.
“Shut up — I can beat you up!” exclaimed Yeoh, who is oft-remembered for previously kicking butt in the 2000 film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”

Quinta Brunson prevents a wardrobe malfunction
“Abbott Elementary” star Quinta Brunson scored the win for the Best Actress in a TV Series – Musical or Comedy. While she walked up to the stage, she kept tugging at the bustier of her dress, which had a sweetheart neckline.
“Let me get myself together,” she said to the audience once she got onstage, tugging it up again. The moment was relatable – who hasn’t been there, worrying about a wardrobe malfunction? It’s a loss for her designer, though. She shouldn’t have had the distraction of worrying about that.

Jennifer Coolidge’s never-ending speech
Coolidge came out to present a best supporting actor trophy, and the “White Lotus” star gave a speech leading up to it about how she almost didn’t accept the task from the Golden Globes producers.
When they called, she had anxiety about “breaking my skull because of these over-waxed floors,” she recalled, to which a producer apparently told her she could wear crocs under her dress. She was also nervous about keeping up with the teleprompters and pronouncing people’s names wrong, she said.
She proceeded to launch into an anecdote about pronouncing both Bill Nighy and Kaley Cuoco’s names wrong at a dinner party. It was all quite amusing — and she continued the gag by presenting an “Oscar” instead of a Globe. But it was unnecessarily long. It had to have been a painfully drawn-out wait for Tyler James Williams to find out that he won for “Abbott Elementary.”

Host Carmichael addresses the elephant in the room
“I’ll tell you why I’m here: I’m here cuz I’m black. I’ll catch everyone in the room up,” said host Jerrod Carmichael, 35, in opening the show, alluding to long-simmering issues regarding race within the HFPA. “This show, the Golden Globe awards, did not air last year because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — I won’t say they were a racist organization — but they didn’t have a single black member until George Floyd died. So do with that information what you will.”
