Are the Globes really back?
The question that lingered throughout the night – are the Globes really back? – remained sort of unanswered by the end of a sometimes scrappily fun but mostly overlong and mostly underwhelming ceremony. Host Jerrod Carmichael had his moments but struggled to find the right balance between sincerity and snark. Timing issues meant that too many winners were played off embarrassingly early. Some major no-shows (Cate Blanchett, Zendaya, Amanda Seyfried) suggested that a host of big names weren’t quite waiting with open arms.
What the night did do was sure up the Oscar chances of both The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inishirin, likely to be the two frontrunners duking it out at the Oscars very soon. TV-wise it was a big night for ratings hits and less so for the streamers with Abbott Elementary, Yellowstone and House of the Dragon winning big.
For now then the Globes are technically back in that yes they happened and yes people on Twitter at least seemed to be watching. But we have ratings to wait for and NBC’s decision to extend the one-year trial they gave to the HFPA after shunning them last year. The jury remains out.
And here’s a run-down of what happened tonight:
A refresh of one of the night’s best speeches:

Here’s that Eddie Murphy joke about Will Smith that had everyone laughing:

WINNER: The Fabelmans - best motion picture, drama
A sure-to-be-memed Quentin Tarantino, emphatically shouting out the names behind the night’s big nominees, hands the award to tonight’s best director winner, Steven Spielberg, for his intimate family drama The Fabelmans. Tarantino said to Spielberg that John Cassavetes would be so proud of him, leading to a story from Spielberg about being his PA back in the day. Will the best picture Oscar race now be between this and Banshees?
Updated
WINNER: The Banshees of Inisherin – best motion picture, comedy or musical
It was a close call between the two frontrunners but ultimately The Banshees of Inisherin won out over Everything Everywhere All at Once. It was the third win of the night for the film that received the most nominations. The Globes has a history of liking the work of Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards won here before losing at the Oscars). We’re running over by 15 minutes so the music is swelling …
Updated
The head of the HFPA is here. How is there time for this? There’s talk of major change and repair work etc and it’s at the very least mercifully brief. Just two awards left. We’re almost done.
WINNER: House of the Dragon - best drama series
A funny, trolling intro from Natasha Lyonne who says she was told to be quick before over-explaining the category she is here to announce. The first and only award tonight for the Game of Thrones prequel that will likely go on to win a great many awards in the future like the show that birthed it. Urgent piano playing off!
Updated
WINNER: Abbott Elementary - best comedy series
No surprise here with the third award of the night for the much-loved network hit. The entire cast is on stage led by star and creator Quinta Brunson. Like Yellowstone, a major awards win for a popular hit show for once.
WINNER: Kevin Costner (Yellowstone) - best actor in a TV series, drama
And we are officially running over! A big win here for a show that took a long time to get noticed by awards bodies after being loved by fans for seasons. Presenter Regina Hall says that Costner can’t be there because of “unprecedented weather and flooding” and has to “shelter in place” but awkwardly laughs her way through his reasoning, as does the audience.

Another special award for another Murphy here, this time Eddie. He is introduced by Tracy Morgan, who jokes that they have a lot in common apart from the success part. Murphy seems mostly un-amused whenever the camera goes to him until Morgan makes a joke about how many kids Murphy has, ridiculing his “pullout game”, which gets a laugh.
A montage of his finest moments follows, from Trading Places to Boomerang to Shrek, before Murphy’s Trading Places co-star Jamie Lee Curtis arrives to also pay tribute while clutching Morgan’s hand.
He thanks the HFPA but says the award has been a “long time in the making”. He jokes that he could literally stand up there for a long time thanking people until he gets played off. He says there is a “definitive blueprint” to follow to make success. There are three things to do: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out of your fucking mouth. This gets one of the biggest laughs of the night.

Here’s our interview with Golden Globe winner Mike White:
WINNER: The White Lotus - best limited series, anthology series or TV movie
A great result here for the water-cooler second season of Mike White’s social satire. He said he was going to do the speech in Italian but he’s too drunk as “there’s no food!” He gives some love back to Jennifer Coolidge after he tearfully received her speech before. He also jokes that everyone turned the show down first. The piano is back! Too many awards left, too little time.
Updated
WINNER: Evan Peters (Dahmer) - best actor, limited series, anthology series or TV movie
It might have caused offence but it was a major hit for Netflix and now an award-winner bringing Evan Peters one of the biggest wins of the night. He says he hopes that something good came out of something so difficult.

WINNER: Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout) - best actress, limited series, anthology series or TV movie

WINNER: Jennifer Coolidge (The White Lotus) - best supporting actress, limited series, anthology series or TV movie
After delivering one of the strangest moments of the night, the actor is back, guided to the stage by a helpful Colin Farrell. She tearfully says that there were five people who kept her going with little jobs for years, such as Ryan Murphy. “I didn’t know anybody and it was just this sort of thing that wasn’t going anywhere,” she says, talking about the struggle to get where she is now. She jokes that a hook came onstage at the Emmys so she didn’t get to properly thank White Lotus creator Mike White, tearful in the audience. “Mike White, you’ve given me hope,” she adds before joking that now she gets invited to the parties she was never invited to. It’s a fun, rowdy and very Globes speech.
Updated
WINNER: Paul Walter Hauser (Black Bird) - best supporting actor, limited series, anthology series or TV movie
Bit of a surprise here given that his competition included Seth Rogen, Richard Jenkins and F Murray Abraham. The Richard Jewell star’s turn in the far less talked about Apple series wins him his first Globe after a rather awkward Dahmer joke from presenter Ana Gasteyer.
Updated
Carmichael makes another plea for the rowdy audience to be quiet (has he seen the Globes before?) before reminding people on Twitter that it isn’t pianist Chloe Flower playing people off but a pre-recorded track so they should back off.

WINNER: Steven Spielberg (The Fabelmans) – best director, motion picture
“I’m really, really happy about this,” an ebullient Spielberg says to the audience. He says he’s been hiding from telling the story of his childhood since he was 17. “I never had the courage to hit this story head on,” he adds, until he started to share stories with co-writer Tony Kushner on the set of Munich. During Covid, he said, he wasn’t sure if anyone would tell stories again so he decided to start working on it then. It’s as eloquent and thoughtful a speech as one would expect. Notably they didn’t dare play Spielberg off.
Updated
WINNER: The Banshees of Inisherin - best motion picture screenplay
The most nominated movie of the night wins its second award thus far (and one it can’t win at the WGA awards after being disqualified). Martin McDonagh pays tribute to his cast after an inevitable Jenny the Donkey joke. Can it scoop best comedy away from Everything Everywhere All at Once?

“The war is not over yet but the tide is turning,” Zelenskiy says before thanking those around the world in the “common struggle for freedom”. He says “there will be no third world war” and that he wants everyone to be there with him and his people on the day of their upcoming victory.

WINNER: Argentina, 1985 – best non-English language motion picture
A bit of a surprise here, Amazon’s drama winning out against the far buzzier saga RRR. Less of a surprise that that pesky piano is back and in faster, and louder, than ever.

WINNER: Cate Blanchett (Tár) - best actress in a motion picture, drama
A much-deserved win for Cate Blanchett’s fascinating turn in Tár but sadly the actor isn’t here to accept her award. She’s filming in the UK, according to presenter Henry Golding.

And here’s Austin Butler talking about “the voice”
Austin Butler touches on his #Elvis voice transformation in #GoldenGlobes press room pic.twitter.com/dK2zuTilgp
— The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) January 11, 2023
A special award next for Ryan Murphy and his successful small screen career in the year of arguably his biggest hit of all: divisive Netflix smash Dahmer. Introduced by Billy Porter, who admittedly owes a great debt to him for his award-winning role in Pose, a montage of Murphy’s work shows how he has highlighted the stories of queer people and women (and miscellaneous monsters).
Murphy arrives on stage to a standing ovation, including the faces of actors he’s given work to, and starts by paying tribute to MJ Rodriguez who made history at last year’s untelevised Globes as a ground-breaking trans winner. He gives her a deserved moment in the spotlight before starting his speech. It’s a generous speech, also showing love for Porterand Niecy Nash-Betts, nominated tonight for her role in Dahmer, and Matt Bomer and then Jeremy Pope, all of whom have fought against industry limits.
“Its hard being an LGBTQ kid in America and all over the world” he says before reaching out to the kids in Florida showing them the queer actors he paid tribute to as examples of queer success.

WINNER: Julia Garner (Ozark) - best actress in a supporting role in a musical-comedy or drama series
A third nomination but first win here for Julia Garner, beating out the hotly tipped stars of Abbott Elementary. It was the last season so last chance to reward her. She also gifted producers with a speedy speech so we had minimal piano.
WINNER: Zendaya (Euphoria) - best actress in a TV series drama
An exhausting season for Zendaya in Sam Levinson’s Euphoria, which might explain why she isn’t there in person to collect her award.

WINNER: Austin Butler (Elvis) - best actor in a motion picture drama
A shadow lurking over this category, reminding us of the long troubled history of the HFPA, given that nominee Brendan Fraser had accused a former president of groping him (he refused to attend tonight). But the winner was the hip-shaking star of Baz Luhrmann’s flashy Elvis biopic, on his way to perhaps threaten Colin Farrell’s chances of winning an Oscar. He gave thanks to Denzel Washington, who helped him get cast in the film. Another awkward piano rising in volume as Butler gives love to his dead mother. Oof.
Updated
WINNER: Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio - best animated motion picture
While it had seemed like Marcel the Shell might have swept in here, perhaps it’s a little too offbeat, and a little too not-animated for HFPA voters. Guillermo del Toro is always an enthused presence and he’s happy to be on stage and happy to see people drunk around him (more of that please). His film has slowly become one of Netflix’s surest awards bets this season and might give the streamer its first animated Oscar.
The awkward playing off of major winners is starting to become a real issue:

“You get to that stage in your life and your career where you feel: ‘I’m being sort of overlooked here,’ because you are now relegated to these kinds of [minor] roles. The guys seem to be doing it. They’re still like superheroes in their 60s and 70s. Why does a woman not get the opportunity to be that?”
Here’s our interview with Golden Globe winner Michelle Yeoh:
WINNER: Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once) - best actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy
Another easy-to-predict win here for another deserving performer who also gives A+ speeches. “It’s been an amazing journey and incredible fight to be here today but I think it’s been worth it,” an emotional Yeoh says. She talks about the difficulty finding roles with age before telling ANOTHER early piano play-off to shut up (this is starting to get embarrassing). She talks about how she related to her character’s need to fight and pays tribute to her cruelly un-nominated co-star Stephanie Hsu. It’s going to be a toss up between Everything Everywhere and Banshees for best musical or comedy film.
Updated
WINNER: Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin) - best actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy
One of the easiest wins of the night to predict sees a very deserving Colin Farrell triumph with his second award in this category (after winning for In Bruges). It’s the most awarded film of the night. Farrell opens by saying he cried himself to sleep after watching presenter Ana de Armas in Blonde. He offers “begrudging” thanks to Martin McDonagh before professing his love for Brendan Gleeson. A ridiculously early piano starts playing him off which Farrell quickly quips can stop (it doesn’t) and he continues to offer the most charming speech of the night so far. Next stop: Oscar?

“When we aired in the States, our producer Nate sent us a list of the most watched series of the last couple of weeks. It was Star Wars, Star Trek and Ms Marvel, and then it was The Bear. I thought it was just so cool that we could be on the same list as these massive television shows. It’s space. It’s superpowers. It’s lightsabers. And then it’s us, you know, a show about people trying to make sandwiches together.”
Here’s a group interview with the stars of The Bear, including fresh Golden Globe winner Jeremy Allen White:
WINNER: Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary) - best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy
Another win here for the network show that could, awarded to its star and creator Quinta Brunson, beating out Selena Gomez and Jenna Ortega. She pulls out her phone for a speech filled with thank yous that slowly gets played off as well. The show’s win for best comedy series is surely in the bag.
Updated
WINNER: Jeremy Allen White (The Bear) - best actor in a TV series, musical or comedy
First nod here and first win for the lead of the breakout kitchen drama The Bear, who beats out Steve Martin, Donald Glover and Martin Short. Stiff competition and he refers to them all as “legends” who he is in awe of. The Globes does have a history of rewarding younger, newer TV stars (while not doing the same on the film side) although he’s the second winner in a row who is played off by music, suggesting that Coolidge bit might have set things behind some …

Beating out Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift here is the viral smash from RRR. Naatu Naatu, and the accompanying dance, has spread as fast as the film, which has announced itself as a major contender in this year’s awards season. Can it continue on to beat out bigger stars at the Oscars too?
WINNER: Babylon - best original score
A film that’s proven divisive to most still has the ingredients many HFPA voters love – mainly big stars – and so it’s perhaps no great surprise that Babylon is winning at least one award tonight. It might be the only one though.

WINNER: Tyler James Williams (Abbott Elementary) - best supporting actor in a musical-comedy or drama series
The first nomination and first win here for one of the stars of the much-loved network sitcom Abbott Elementary, a show that will probably win a few more Globes tonight. He beat out the likes of John Lithgow and John Turturro and the win is a much-needed boost for network shows at the Globes which have largely been left behind in recent years as cable and streamers dominate.
With the awards under way I’ll hand you back over to the culture team.
I’ll leave you with Andrew Garfield in a burnt orange suit. One of few men who chose not to wear a traditional black tux. Even Brad Pitt, who recently has been having a lot of fun on the red carpet (think wafty linen suits and even a skirt), turned up tonight in a black tux.

WINNER: Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) - best supporting actress in a motion picture
Wow, they are going through them fast, but here’s a welcome win for Angela Bassett and her scene-stealing turn in the Black Panther sequel. It’s her second Golden Globe after also winning for What’s Love Got to Do with It. Bassett commands the stage as one would expect and there is a great deal of love for her in the audience. It’s become part of a late surge for the actor, who has quickly become a lock for this category, as Oscar nominations are almost upon us. Huge for Bassett but also huge for Marvel, a company that’s been thirsty for awards outside of the tech categories.

Lisa Marie Presley told reporters it was mind-blowing watching Austin Butler in Elvis. “It was so authentic,” she said. Her black column gown taps into the gothic trend that is gearing up to be huge this year. Similar to Gomez she has also styled her hair in a high ponytail. It’s RIP to the trad red carpet bun.
Updated
WINNER: Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once) - best supporting actor in a motion picture
The first win of the night is both predictable and deserved. “I was raised to never forget where I came from and never forget who gave me my first opportunity,” the actor says, able to thank Steven Spielberg in the audience for the role in Temple of Doom. He says he was worried he would never be able to recapture that same success or have an opportunity like that but tearfully explains that he was able to find his way back to the big screen thanks to directors the Daniels. This will likely be the first of many wins for one of the most loved films of the season.

Selena Gomez is giving big sleeve energy in Quality Street purple from Maison Valentino. Her sweetheart neckline is a classic silhouette from the house. Love the high ponytail for a fresh take on an up-do.
It begins!
The tented red carpet is over and a surprising amount of big stars have actually turned up! Early shots of the venue show a lot of booze being handed out which is promising given how drunk the ceremony tends to be.
Host Jerrod Carmichael arrives on stage. “I’ll tell you why I’m here, I’m here cause I’m Black” he jokes. He starts with a potted history of the HFPA’s many issues, accusing them of the many things we all know them to be guilty of. He calls them an “embattled white organisation” as he recounts the story of how he became host, mainly because of his race, aware of the good PR needed. He also tells us just how much he is getting paid for the gig – $500,000 – explaining that his friend insisted he said yes just for the money.
He said he was forced to have a sit-down with the head of the HFPA so he could be “educated” about the changes the organisation had made with regards to diversity. He jokes that he doesn’t care as he took the job thinking they hadn’t changed at all.
There are a lot of confused faces and it’s certainly an unusual way to kick things off but it’s different at least and different is good for the Globes.
In a sweet moment, the Elvis star revealed he brought his sister as his date. I was hoping for a bit more seventies swagger from the actor, after he played a rock’n’roll legend. Still, from a quick look at Twitter it seems everyone “can’t help falling in love”.
Updated
Another pink moment! This time it’s Julia Garner in a very frothy look. Ruffles, sequins and bubblegum pink sounds a bit sickly but the Inventing Anna and Ozark actress manages to pull it off. Her new pixie cut helps add balance and stops it feeling overly saccharine.
So, as ever, there are some big records that could be broken tonight or at least some worthy and notable achievements. Keep your eye out for the following:
The Daniels could become the first ever duo to win best director if they win for Everything Everywhere All at Once
Brad Pitt could become the most awarded actor in the best supporting actor category if he wins for Babylon
Ke Huy Quan could become the first actor of Vietnamese descent to win best supporting actor if he wins for Everything Everywhere All at Once
Ana de Armas could become the first Cuban actor to win best actress (drama) if she wins for her role in Blonde
Michelle Yeoh could become the first Malaysian actor and only the second woman of Asian descent to win best actress (comedy or musical) if she wins for Everything Everywhere All at Once
Dolly de Leon could become the first actor of Asian descent to win best supporting actress if she wins for Triangle of Sadness
Diego Luna could become the first Mexican actor to win best actor (drama) if he wins for Andor
The House of Dragon star Emma D’Arcy loves to play with the performative side of fashion.
Their oversized tailoring look is very cool and very on brand. Prepare to see a lot of messy blue eyeliner looks on TikTok.
In an interview ahead of tonight’s ceremony, D’Arcy’s stylist Rose Forde explained her approach to styling the star saying: “I’ve always tried, with every ceremony I work on, to ensure that my clients just looked cool and relevant and themselves … but I’m also not going to go for the biggest fashion moment unless it’s got real sincerity behind it.”

Margot Robbie brings Barbie pink to the red, well, grey carpet. The actress who plays the doll in the highly anticipated film seems to be wearing Chanel.

If there is one thing you can rely on, it’s that Billy Porter will always bring drama to the red carpet. This time he has chosen to focus on velvet for an extra luxury touch. We saw a lot of this pink colourway last year so it’s interesting he is still championing it.

Having recently fronted a campaign for Gucci and sat front row at its latest show, Daisy Edgar-Jones is unsurprisingly wearing the brand. This dress is a three for one deal when it comes to trends – lace, tulle and sequins all feature.

The Wednesday star normally opts for an almost cosplay style with a black colour palette and plenty of lace. This Gucci gown is a very different look for her. The cut-out silhouette has a Y2K feel – very Gen Z whilst the tiny pleats give a nod to old Hollywood glamour.

Ooh, Jeremy Pope, who is up for best actor, has opted for double leather and crystal embellished shoes. He credits his grandmother with being the person he learned the power of style from. Bravo Grannie!

I made a perhaps foolish attempt to predict what will or won’t win the major film awards tonight (along with what should) and you can check to see how well I did or didn’t do as the night progresses:
“Do people care, beyond the immediate media/Hollywood bubble? Will the speeches be good and starry? Will Jerrod Carmichael – a brilliant comic – find the right tone as emcee? The Globes knew how to deliver a good show. If they can do that again, it’s a step in the right direction.”
I spoke to Vanity Fair’s awards expert David Canfield and LA Times reporter Stacy Perman about whether or not tonight will be enough to repair a heck load of damage. Here’s what they had to say:
Top Gun: Maverick’s Glen Powell has arrived. Similar to Gleeson, he’s opted for a classic black suit and side parted hair.
His red carpet prep? A quick morning workout, apparently. Peak LA.
Updated
Nominated for best supporting actor Domhnall Gleeson is one of the very first men to arrive. Similar to Jamie Lee Curtis, he’s playing it safe in timeless tailoring. Let’s hope the rest of the night is a little more exciting!

Nominated for the best supporting actress, the same Golden Globe her mother, Janet Leigh, won in 1961 for Psycho, Jamie Lee Curtis is one of the first to arrive.
She’s chosen to wear black, a red carpet classic and a safe choice but she’s given it a modern update by opting for a jumpsuit and a floor-sweeping lace cape. Chic!

Hi, Chloe here from the Guardian’s fashion desk.
We’ve been deprived of some GGG (Golden Globes Glamour) for two years so it’s exciting to be back!
When it comes to the celebrity red carpet, the Golden Globes is one of the most important events on the fashion calendar.
Last year it was cancelled following the backlash against the HFPA over its lack of diversity. In 2021, the pandemic meant we were subjected to shots of celebrities at home. The dress code varied: Elle Fanning took to Zoom in a silk Gucci gown, while Jason Sudeikis wore a tie-dyed hoodie. To be honest, getting a glimpse of an A-lister kitchen worktop was far more exciting than the clothes.
This year it’s back and celebrating 80 years so no pressure but it better be good or at least meme-able.
Remember, this is the awards ceremony that gave us Elizabeth Taylor in a gown and sparkly tiara in 1957. It’s where in 1973, Cher accompanied a tuxedo-clad Sonny in a midriff-bearing two piece and giant fuzzy coat and it’s where, thanks to Angelina Jolie in 1999, the 90s slip dress went mainstream.
As the first star studded event of 2023, it can really set the style tone for the rest of the red carpets. And with no official dress code, anything could happen.
As I said, no pressure …

Jerrod Carmichael is an unlikely choice of host for the Globes, mostly because he’s a little bit too good for them? The stand-up, star and creator of The Carmichael Show, actor known for the Neighbours movies and recently director of Sundance indie On the Count of Three, received plaudits last year for his HBO special Rothaniel which saw him come out as gay, as well as proving himself to be one of the smartest and most interesting comedians around at the moment.
He’ll become the first ever solo Black host of the Globes and the news of his hiring suggests that the HFPA aren’t worried about being the butt of the joke this year, given his tendency not to pull punches. Here’s a tease of what he might be doing up on stage:
Well, that’s one star who won’t be attending tonight…
people will really do just about anything to avoid attending the Golden Globes https://t.co/4GkRu00PS6

One of the biggest question marks tonight is exactly who will turn up. The Globes is famously stuffed with stars but the HFPA is still being given the cold shoulder by some. Tom Cruise gave his awards back, Scarlett Johansson spoke out against them and Brendan Fraser, nominated tonight for his role in The Whale, is boycotting after an alleged incident of groping by a former member.
All we know at the moment is that some stars have been confirmed as presenters which will count for something. Those names include Jamie Lee Curtis, Jennifer Hudson, Ana de Armas, Quentin Tarantino, Jenna Ortega and Jennifer Coolidge. But there’s a chance that some of the night’s biggest winners winners won’t be there, a major sign that things will take a little longer to go back to normal.

Here we go...
This time last year, it didn’t seem like we’d be here again. The Golden Globes were dropped by NBC after questions of diversity, or rather lack thereof, and accusations of impropriety sent ripples throughout the industry. The ceremony, usually packed with stars, was a quiet event without cameras or A-listers.
But after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), the mysterious group behind the awards, made some key changes (more diverse members, fewer bribes), Hollywood responded with cautiously open arms. NBC gave them a wait-and-see one-year trial, stars are actually set to attend, far-too-cool-for-the-Globes comedian Jerrod Carmichael agreed to host … it could be the beginning of a new beginning.
That’s what we’ll be here for tonight, to not only keep track of who wins what but to wait for an answer to the key question of whether the industry is ready to fully embrace the Globes again and also, whether it should. The jury is out.
