Golden Globe Awards 2023 Winners

Golden Globe Winners

The 2023 Golden Globe Awards were a momentous night for so many stars. The ceremony, hosted by Emmy-winning comedian Jerrod Carmichael, opened with the best supporting actor and actress in a motion picture categories. “Everything Everywhere All at Once” star Ke Huy Quan took home the night’s first award, giving an emotional speech about his Hollywood career. Angela Bassett was then awarded the Golden Globe for best supporting actress in a motion picture for her role in “Black Panther,” her second win after her award for “What’s Love Got to Do With It” in 1993 (and a first Golden Globe for the Marvel Cinematic Universe). Later, Tyler James Williams won best supporting actor for his role as Gregory on “Abbott Elementary” before the show snagged the award for best TV series, musical or comedy, at the end of the night.

Other notable wins included that of Michelle Yeoh, who won best performance by an actress in a motion picture for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Jennifer Coolidge took home yet another supporting actress win for her role on “The White Lotus” after her Emmy win for the same role in September 2022. Meanwhile, Ryan Murphy took home the special Carol Burnett Award and Eddie Murphy was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award. “The Banshees of Inisherin” and “The Fabelmans” won the top film honors of the night, best motion picture, drama, and best motion picture, musical or comedy, respectively.

Not everyone could win, so even just being nominated is a major accomplishment, and this year’s Globes honorees were stacked. “The Banshees of Inisherin” led with a whopping total of eight noms, including best motion picture, drama; best actor in a drama; two nominations for best supporting actor; and a best supporting actress nom. Close behind were “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “Babylon,” which scored six and five nods, respectively. Meanwhile, on the television side, “Abbott Elementary” came out on top with five nominations, closely followed by “The Crown,” “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” “Only Murders in the Building,” “Pam & Tommy,” and “The White Lotus,” which all scored four.

One of the biggest surprises was the love the Hollywood Foreign Press Association showed for Netflix’s “Wednesday,” which nabbed one nomination for the series and one for Jenna Ortega. And best original song was maybe the most star-studded category, with entries from Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna. Meanwhile, Brendan Fraser, who said he wouldn’t attend the event if he was nominated, did secure a nod for his work in “The Whale.”

Golden Globes Host Jerrod Carmichael Says He Got Job Because He’s Black, Cites HFPA Scandal

Jerrod Carmichael says he hosting the Golden Globes because he just so happens to be a Black comedian … making fun of the diversity scandal that tarnished the awards show.

The 80th Golden Globes are underway on NBC live from the Beverly Hilton and Jerrod just gave his opening monologue, where he addressed the massive elephant in the room … the diversity controversy involving the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which hands out the awards.

Eddie Murphy makes joke about Will Smith’s infamous Oscars slap during speech

Film and television veteran Eddie Murphy was honoured with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for his contribution over his four-decade long career at the 2023 Golden Globes.

During his speech, Murphy, 61, thanked his Australian-born girlfriend Paige Butcher and his 10 children, before offering advice and a “definitive blueprint” for success on the screen.

The comedian said this would help “achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind” – and then, of course, he couldn’t resist making a joke about the infamous Oscars slap which took place last year.

“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.

“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 added, referring to Smith slapping host Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.

Rihanna steals the show from the AUDIENCE with beau A$AP Rocky

She may have skipped the red carpet but Rihanna still ended up being the star of the show at the 80th annual Golden Globe Awards on Tuesday in Beverly Hills.

She was captured giggling beside her beau A$AP Rocky in the audience as she received random acknowledgements from host Jerrod Carmichael and presenters during the ceremony.

The musician-turned-mogul, 34, snagged her first-ever Golden Globe nomination this year for her song Lift Me Up from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

Host Jerrod Carmichael who made the most ‘controversial’ remark when he shared his opinion regarding Rihanna’s long-awaited ninth studio album: ‘Rihanna, you take all the time you want!’

Austin Butler Wins Best Actor in a Drama for ‘Elvis’

A new king has been crowned, with “Elvis” star Austin Butler winning the Golden Globe award for best actor in a motion picture, drama.

The actor, a first-time Golden Globe nominee, faced stiff competition in the category, which also included Brendan Fraser (“The Whale”), Hugh Jackman (“The Son”), Bill Nighy (“Living”) and Jeremy Pope (“The Inspection”).

“Oh, man, all my words are leaving me. I just am so grateful right now. I’m in this room full of my heroes,” Butler began before voicing his admiration for his “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” co-star Brad Pitt and director Quentin Tarantino.

“I owe this to a bold, visionary filmmaker who allowed me the experience to take risks and I always knew I would be supported. I love you, Baz Luhrmann,” Butler continued. “Thank you for believing in me in those moments that I didn’t even believe in myself. I’m so grateful to you. I also want to thank my dance partner, the greatest dance partner I could have ever hoped for, Mr. Tom Hanks.”

Butler also expressed thanks to Denzel Washington, who he starred alongside on the 2018 Broadway production of “The Iceman Cometh,” and who called Luhrmann to recommend the young actor for “Elvis.” He also thanked his sister Ashley (his date for the evening), his late mother, his father and the family of Elvis Presley, including Lisa Marie Presley, who beamed with pride from their table in the ballroom.

Comedian Jerrod Carmichael hosted the revamped show, which was previously put on ice as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) grappled with an industry boycott amid its diversity scandal. Inside the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, guests seemed eager to be back in person at the event in which stars like Steven Spielberg, Colin Farrell and Quinta Brunson won big. The elephant in the room was addressed early on thanks to Carmichael, paving the way for some of the industry’s biggest stars to gather again in January.

Here are 10 things you didn’t see on TV:

Brad Pitt is a gracious loser

The night kicked off with Ke Huy Quan winning best supporting actor for his performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Quan had no bigger fan in the audience than Pitt. The Oscar winner was one of the first stars on his feet cheering for Quan, who is now considered the heavy favorite to repeat at the Oscars.

Salma Hayek leads support for Angela Bassett

Bassett took home the trophy for supporting actress for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and the whole room erupted in applause. But it was Hayek who was out of her seat first and everyone soon followed suit, including an energetic Pitt, Margot Robbie and more.

Speaking of Brad Pitt, he was the MVP of the Globes

There was no bigger cheerleader for his peers than Pitt. The actor was one of the most high-energy stars in the ballroom, clapping furiously for winners throughout the night. When Austin Butler won for his role in Elvis, Pitt and Butler embraced on the way to the stage. It seemed Pitt’s support was recognized by Butler too, as he remarked: “I’m in this room full of my heroes. Brad, I love you.”

Is Austin Butler still Elvis?

The actor sure sounded a lot like the icon he portrayed in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic throughout the night. “I didn’t even think about it,” Butler told reporters backstage, according to People. “I don’t think I sound like him still, but I guess I must, because I hear it all the time.”

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have a date night

They showed up fashionably late, but did not disappoint. The power couple snuck through the side of the venue and cuddled up during the first part of the program. Despite the fact Rihanna lost out in her category fairly early on, you wouldn’t have known it. RiRi even smiled when Carmichael and Niecy Nash made jokes about being in awe of her — which is pretty relatable.

Do not play off Michelle Yeoh

The veteran star had her well-deserved moment when she won best actress (drama) for Everything Everywhere All at Once. So, obviously, she would not be played off without a fight as she jokingly looked to the side and told producers to “shut up” when they tried to get her offstage. “I can beat you up,” Yeoh quipped as the music started, “That’s serious.”

Jennifer Coolidge gets bleeped and the crowd goes wild

If you can believe it, The White Lotus star won her first Golden Globe for best supporting actress in a limited series, anthology series, or TV movie thanks to her iconic performance. To the surprise of no one, Coolidge brought the laughs — and bleeps — when she thanked creator Mike White. “I just want to say Mike White you gave me hope, even though this is the end because you did kill me off but it doesn’t matter because you really changed my life in a million different ways. My neighbors aren’t being mean to me, things like that! … and none of those people, I was never invited to one party on my hill and now everyone’s inviting me!” she quipped. “Mike White. F***ing s***… this is really a fun night I love you.”

Everyone loves Selena Gomez

The Only Murders in the Building star was one of the biggest celebrities at the event, but you wouldn’t have known it if you tried to approach her. The actress was kind to everyone who came up to her — even in the bathroom line — and lamented how hard it was to walk in a fancy dress and heels. Her relatable nature made her a big hit inside the theater with people clamoring to take photos with Gomez.

Tracy Morgan gets some gasps

The 30 Rock star roasted Eddie Murphy for having 10 children while presenting him with the Cecil B. DeMille Award during the telecast. “Your pull-out game is weak, Eddie,” said Morgan, eliciting a lot of laughs, groans and everything in-between from the crowd. Morgan had no problem making a joke about his own situation in 2014 when he was critically injured after a Walmart truck struck the vehicle he was traveling in. “Never take a gig for money, that’s what Walmart trucks are for,” the actor declared at the Globes.

Eddie Murphy gets the biggest crowd reaction

While accepting his career achievement Cecil B. DeMille Award at the show, the comedian ended his speech with some poignant advice for those in the audience: “There’s a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity and peace of mind. It’s very simple. There’s three things: pay your taxes, mind your business and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!” The starry crowd laughed and cheered for a while with that one.
