The Golden Globes attempted to make a big comeback this year, following 2022's embarrassing lack of a televised ceremony in the wake of revelations about backing organisation the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's legacy of racially troubling decisions, corruption and other issues. Though Ricky Gervais was not around to stick a knife in, host Jerrod Carmichael aimed for truth-telling and satire from the start, though it was tough to avoid a feeling that this was an awards show with a cloud hanging over it.
Presenters awkwardly had to hand out different categories and, while the alcohol was clearly flowing, the whole affair had a typically undisciplined feel.
Film-wise, there were some expected wins (your Cate Blanchetts, your Austin Butler, plus the welcome triumph of the Everything Everywhere All At Once team).
On the TV front, Ryan Murphy was handed lifetime achievement award and gave perhaps the night's best speech, acknowledging and celebrating a wealth of those who appeared in his shows or helped make them. The White Lotus scored more hardware for its awards cabinet, including Jennifer Coolidge taking another gong for her performance as Tanya McQuoid. And Abbott Elementary is quickly getting a reputation as an awards magnet, scoring several trophies tonight.
Here is the full list of winners…
