The 80th Golden Globes returned to live broadcast this year with witty comic Jerrod Carmichael hosting the show. His jokes touched on the historic controversies of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), poked fun at scientology, and had the celebrity audience gasping and laughing. Leading winners of the evening were hit television comedy series, \u201cAbbott Elementary,\u201d and Martin McDonagh\u2019s latest film, \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin,\u201d which took home three awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, the HFPA had no African American representation, and after this was revealed, the globes were not televised last year. Several stars have boycotted the event, including nominee Brendan Fraser for his heart-wrenching performance in \u201cThe Whale,\u201d a Darren Aronofsky film dealing with obesity and family. Returning to broadcast television, the Golden Globes brought a new, diverse outlook on the world of Hollywood. Carmichael, the first African American host of the program in its now 80 years of occurrence, discussed the issues surrounding the HFPA and opened his monologue with this line: \u201cI\u2019ll tell you why I\u2019m here. I\u2019m here because I\u2019m Black.\u201d His latest HBO stand-up \u201cJerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel\u201d won an Emmy in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star of the evening was none other than Jennifer Coolidge. Walking on stage to present an award at the beginning of the night, Coolidge launched into a five minute story, extending well past her limited time of only a few seconds to present. Later in the night, she won for her hilarious role as Tanya on \u201cThe White Lotus.\u201d Again, she returned to the stage praising Mike White, the creator, writer and director of the series, and bringing him to tears. She thanked everyone in Hollywood for all the small roles that have kept her going throughout the years.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d follows dedicated teachers at a public school, interacting with each other and their students. Quinta Brunson, creator, writer and star of the show, won the globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy. Her co-star, Tyler James Williams who plays Gregory Eddie in the series, also won an award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a TV Musical, Comedy, or Drama Series. Ultimately, \u201cAbbott Elementary\u201d took home Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy, a prestigious honor that proves the show is a must-watch for comedy-lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything Everywhere All At Once,\u201d A24\u2019s highest grossing film, is an impassioned science-fiction film that follows a family across a multiverse. Bringing audiences to tears, co-directors and writers Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert crafted a unique picture starring Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan. Both Yeoh and Quan walked away with globes for their performances. Quan, who was the first winner of the evening, famously starred in \u201cIndiana Jones and the Temple of Doom\u201d and \u201cThe Goonies.\u201d His emotional speech paid tribute to Steven Speilberg saying, \u201cI was raised to never forget where I came from and to always remember who gave me my first opportunity\u2026 I am so happy to see Steven Spielberg here tonight, Steven, thank you!\u201d Quan went on to thank Kwan and Scheinert for incorporating him into their masterpiece 30 years after he first stepped foot onto a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin McDonagh, who has written \u201cThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,\u201d \u201cSeven Psychopaths\u201d and \u201cIn Bruges,\u201d brought to life a comedic story of friendship with \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin.\u201d Having already worked with Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell, McDonagh reunited with the stars, and his film won three awards, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steven Spielberg\u2019s semi-autobiographical film \u201cThe Fabelmans,\u201d was revered by audiences and critics alike. Spielberg, who has pioneered groundbreaking cinematic experiences as diverse as \u201cSchindler\u2019s List\u201d to \u201cJaws,\u201d provided an in-depth look into his life growing up and becoming immersed into the world of film. Helmed by a stellar cast of Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen and Paul Dano, \u201cThe Fabelmans\u201d won Best Motion Picture, Drama and Best Director, Motion Picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
