NBC aired the 2023 Golden Globes on Tuesday night, the first major awards ceremony of the year. In 2022, NBC declined to air the Globes ceremony due to diversity and ethics scandals at the Globes organizer - the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. However, it was broadcast on its 80th anniversary in 2023.
Here are the ceremony’s most memorable moments:
Will Smith
- He wasn’t there, and probably won’t be at any awards ceremony any time soon after slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars last year, but Will Smith provided some of the biggest laughs of the night.
- Eddie Murphy, after receiving the Cecil B DeMille award for lifetime achievement, said: “There is a definitive blueprint that you can follow to achieve success, prosperity, longevity, and peace of mind … Pay your taxes, mind your business, and keep Will Smith’s wife’s name out of your … mouth.”
‘The invisible’
- Producer Ryan Murphy, who was honoured for his prolific output in television and film, used his acceptance speech to spotlight marginalised people.
- “My mission was to take the invisible, the unloved, and make them the heroes I long to see but never did in pop culture,” he said of his career.
