Golden Globe Awards 2023: The 2023 edition of the Golden Globes Awards is underway. Dozens of movies, TV shows, actors, actresses, writers, and so on are vying for trophies in numerous categories This year, Martin McDonagh’s ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, a dark comedy about the breaking of a friendship, leads with eight nominations. But the competition in every single category is going to be fierce. This is the most nods by any film since 2004’s ‘Cold Mountain’. Multiversal adventure ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ is the runner-up with six nods. ‘Babylon’ and ‘The Fablemans’ follow with five nominations. On the television side, ‘Abbott Elementary’ is leading with 5 nominations. ‘The Crown’, ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’, ‘Only Murders in the Building’, ‘Pam & Tommy’, and ‘The White Lotus’, each have 4 nods. India’s ‘RRR’ has also scored two nods in the Best Original Song and Best Non-English Language Film categories.
What you need to know about the 80th Golden Globe Awards
- The awards show is back on television this year. NBC opted not to air the 2022 ceremony in the wake of mounting criticism surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organisation that puts on the event.
- The allegations of ethical lapses within the HFPA and a lack of diversity among its members were detailed by the Los Angeles Times in a 2021 exposé. The news got widespread attention in the entertainment industry. Last September, the HFPA announced its expansion of the voting body to 200 members, who are 52% female and 51.5% “racially and ethnically diverse.” NBC also confirmed that month that the Globes would be broadcast on the network again in the new year.
- The Globes were once considered “Hollywood’s Party of the Year,” but it’s unclear whether the show will be as much of a star-studded event as it once was. At least one of the industry’s most beloved actors isn’t expected to attend. Brendan Fraser, nominated for best actor in “The Whale,” pledged never to return to the event after he alleged he was groped in 2003 by Philip Berk, a former president of the group behind the show. Berk denies the allegation.
- If you’re just catching up on the nominations, look no further than our overview. Speaking of nominees, LGBTQ people, both real and fictional, will be front and center at the ceremony. Latinos are represented in about half the categories this year, including nine nominations for Latino performers and filmmakers.
- This year’s ceremony is being hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael.
