The Golden Globes is right around the corner, returning to screens this month.
While NBC refused to televise the 2022 ceremony following allegations against the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the group of journalists who vote on the awards), the network has agreed to bring it back on air for its 80th awards ceremony.
This year’s awards show will be hosted by stand-up comedian Jerrod Carmichael, with Jamie Lee Curtis, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Natasha Lyonne, Billy Porter, Colman Domingo and Quentin Tarantino presenting awards.
On Tuesday 10 January, beginning at 8pm EST on NBC and Peacock, audiences will be able to watch as the biggest stars in film and American TV are honoured for their 2022 work.
Among the films vying for the top prizes at the 2023 Golden Globes are Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin.
Leading the nominations for TV shows are Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building and The Crown.
Meanwhile, as usual, female film directors have been snubbed this season, something that has been criticised before by Natalie Portman, during the 2018 ceremony.
As well as four of the biggest Black films of the year – The Woman King, Till, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Emancipation – which were left out of the Best Picture race.
