80th Golden Globe Awards return after year of scandal

Hollywood’s elite stepped out last night for the 80th Golden Globe awards, the first in two years. Last year’s ceremony was not broadcast in light of the diversity and ethics scandal plaguing the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) at the time.

This year’s host, Jerrod Carmichael, did not let the audience forget about the accusations made about the HFPA, saying in his speech: “I’m only being asked to host this, I know, because I’m Black.”

The comedian went on to highlight the lack of diversity within the Hollywood Foreign Press:

“I won’t say they were a racist organization but they didn’t have a single Black member until George Floyd,”

Despite the controversy, countless talented artists were recognised at the Globes last night, with many receiving first time wins. Tyler James Williams and Quinta Brunson were both first-time Golden Globe winners for their work on Abbott Elementary, as well as Everything Everywhere All At Once star Michelle Yeoh.

Yeoh’s co-star Ke Huy Quan also won Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the surprise smash hit. The 80s child actor made an emotional speech thanking EEAAO director duo the Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) for helping his return to acting, and Steven Spielberg for giving him his debut role in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Banshees of Inisherin won big, with awards for lead actor Colin Farrell, Director/Writer Martin McDonagh and a Best Picture Golden Globe nod for the film itself.

After last night, all eyes now turn to the Oscars with nominations being announced January 24. Read on for a full list of Golden Globe Winners.
