Eddie Murphy is being celebrated with a life achievement award from the American Film Institute, AFI’s board of trustees said Friday. The award will be handed out at a gala tribute in Los Angeles, at the Dolby Theatre, on April 18.
“Eddie Murphy is an American icon,” said Kathleen Kennedy, who chairs the institute’s board of trustees. “A trailblazing force in the art forms of film, television and stand-up comedy, his versatility knows no bounds.”
Murphy, 64, has been a force in entertainment for nearly 50 years, as a teenage stand-up phenomenon, on television as a part of the “Saturday Night Live” cast, and in film where he’s ruled the box office in multiple decades, with hits like “Beverly Hills Cop,” “Coming to America,” “The Nutty Professor” and the “Shrek” movies. In 2007, he was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for “Dreamgirls,” which had already earned him a Screen Actors Guild award and a Golden Globe, but he didn’t win the Academy Award.
In a new documentary about his life and career, “Being Eddie,” which is currently streaming on Netflix, Murphy reflected that he was more annoyed about having to put on a tux and go to the event than he was about losing.
“It’s always wonderful to win stuff, but if I don’t win, I don’t give a (expletive),” he said. “I’m still Eddie in the morning.”
In 2023, Murphy got the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, where he kept his remarks to a speedy two minutes. He told The Associated Press in 2021 that he has a different perspective on things than he did during the height of his fame.
“You take everything for granted when you’re young, how successful I was,” Murphy said. “Now I take nothing for granted and appreciate everything.”
AFI’s gala tributes are often starry affairs. Last year at Francis Ford Coppola’s dinner, Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro and Harrison Ford were among those who turned out to toast Coppola.
Murphy is the 51st recipient of the AFI life achievement award, which was first handed out in 1973 to John Ford. Other recent honorees include Nicole Kidman, Julie Andrews and Denzel Washington.

NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) — Sarah Jessica Parker is going from someone who gives out prizes to getting one.
The Emmy- and Screen Actors Guild Award-winner — and judge for the 2025 Booker Prize — was named Thursday as the recipient of the Carol Burnett Award for her “outstanding contributions to television on or off screen.”
“Sarah Jessica Parker’s career embodies the very spirit of the Carol Burnett Award,” said Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes, in a statement. “Her trailblazing impact on television and her dedication to storytelling across stage and screen have left an indelible mark on popular culture. We are honored to celebrate her extraordinary contributions to entertainment.”
The award will be presented during a new annual prime-time special, “Golden Eve,” honoring recipients of both the Carol Burnett Award and the Cecil B. DeMille Award, which this year goes to Helen Mirren. That special will air Jan. 8 on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
The main Golden Globes ceremony is on Jan. 11, hosted for the second time by Nikki Glaser.
Parker is perhaps best known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in HBO’s series “Sex and the City” and sequel “And Just Like That.” Her films include “Hocus Pocus” and “Hocus Pocus 2,” “Failure to Launch,” “The First Wives Club,” “Ed Wood” and “Mars Attacks!”
The Carol Burnett Award was inaugurated in 2019 and is presented to an honoree who has “made outstanding contributions to television on or off screen.” Past recipients include Ted Danson, Norman Lear, Ryan Murphy and Ellen DeGeneres. The first was Burnett herself.
SANTA FE, N.M. — SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — An auction house plans to sell off a variety of actor Gene Hackman’s possessions in November, including Golden Globe statues, a wristwatch and paintings he collected and created himself.
Hackman died at age 95 at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, after transitioning from an Oscar-winning career in film to a life in retirement of painting, writing novels and collecting.
Auction items include a still-life painting of a Japanese vase by Hackman and Golden Globe awards from roles in “Unforgiven” and “The Royal Tenenbaums.” There are annotated books from Hackman’s library, scripts, posters, movie memorabilia — and high-brow art including a bronze statue by Auguste Rodin and a 1957 oil painting from modernist Milton Avery.
Anna Hicks of Bonhams international auction house said the sales “offer an intimate portrait of Hackman’s private world.”
Listings start as low as $100 for Hackman’s everyman Winmau dart board or $600 for a shot at his Seiko diver’s wristwatch.
The catalog includes a likeness of Hackman from portrait artist Everett Raymond Kinstler, who painted U.S. presidents and drew for comic books.
Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead inside their home on Feb. 26 — sending shock waves through a high-desert city refuge for famous actors and authors seeking to escape the spotlight. Authorities determined that Hackman died of heart disease with complications from Alzheimer’s disease about a week after Arakawa, 65, died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease spread by the droppings of infected rodents.
Hackman made his film debut in 1961’s “Mad Dog Coll” and went on to appear in a range of movie roles, including as “Superman” villain Lex Luthor and as a basketball coach finding redemption in the sentimental favorite “Hoosiers.” He was a five-time Oscar nominee who won best actor in a leading role for “The French Connection” in 1972 and best actor in a supporting role for “Unforgiven” two decades later.

NEW YORK — Polly Holliday, a Tony Award-nominated screen and stage actor who turned the catchphrase “Kiss my grits!” into a national retort as the gum-chewing, beehive-wearing waitress aboard the long-running CBS sitcom “Alice,” has died. She was 88.
Holliday died Tuesday at her home in New York, said her theatrical agent, Dennis Aspland. She was the last surviving member of the principal cast of “Alice;” Linda Lavin, who played the title character, died last year.
“Alice” ran from 1976 to 1985, but Holliday had turned into such a star that the network gave her her own short-lived spin-off called “Flo” in 1980. It lasted a year.
Holliday earned four Golden Globe nominations and won one in 1980 for “Alice,” as well as four Emmy Award nominations, three for “Alice” and one for “Flo.”
As for the “Kiss my grits!” line, the Alabama-born Holliday was quick to distance herself from it, telling interviewers that the line was “pure Hollywood” and not a regional saying. But she identified with Flo.
“She was a Southern woman you see in a lot of places,” she told The Sarasota Herald-Tribune in 2003. “Not well educated, but very sharp, with a sense of humor and a resolve not to let life get her down.”
Holliday’s career included stints on Broadway — including a Tony nod opposite Kathleen Turner in a 1990 revival of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” — and lots of TV, including playing the blind sister to Betty White’s character in “Golden Girls.” On the big screen, her credits included John Grisham 1995 legal thriller series “The Client” and portraying a protective secretary in “All the President’s Men.”
Her Broadway credits include “All Over Town” in 1974 directed by Dustin Hoffman, “Arsenic and Old Lace” in 1986 with Jean Stapleton and Abe Vigoda, and a revival of “Picnic” with Kyle Chandler in 1994.
Some of her more memorable credits include the wicked Mrs. Deagle in “Gremlins,” Tim Allen’s sassy mother-in-law on “Home Improvement” and off-Broadway in “A Quarrel of Sparrows,” in which The New York Times said she radiated “a refreshingly touching air of willed, cheerful imperturbability.”
The 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards will be held on January 5, 2025, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET (5 p.m. to 8 p.m. PT) on CBS. They will also be available to stream on Paramount+ in the United States.
Who is hosting the 2025 Golden Globe Awards?
Per Variety, comedian Nikki Glaser has been tapped to host the 2025 awards show.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be hosting the Golden Globes,” Glaser said. “It’s one of my favorite nights of television and now I get a front row seat (actually, I think I have to host from the stage). The Golden Globes is not only a huge night for TV and film, but also for comedy. It’s one of the few times that show business not only allows, but encourages itself to be lovingly mocked (at least I hope so). (God I hope so). It’s an exciting, yet challenging gig because it’s live, unpredictable, and in front of Hollywood’s biggest stars (who also might be getting wasted while seated next to their recent exes).
“Some of my favorite jokes of all time have come from past Golden Globes opening monologues when Tina, Amy, or Ricky have said exactly what we all didn’t know we desperately needed to hear. I just hope to continue in that time honored tradition (that might also get me canceled). This is truly a dream job. Plus, I no longer have to feel guilty for every TV show and movie I’ve binged over the past year. It was all worth it. (‘Below Deck: Sailing Yacht’ Season Four will be nominated, right?).”
Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne added, “Nikki Glaser is a comedic powerhouse whose daring and unfiltered humor is the perfect match for the Golden Globes. She is sure to bring a unique energy and spontaneity to the show that will keep the audience entertained all night.”
Glaser — who previously released stand-up specials such as 2022’s Good Clean Filth and 2024’s Someday You’ll Die — follows Jo Koy, who hosted the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.
Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner will executive produce the awards show, while Dick Clark Productions will plan, host, and produce the event.
Seoul — South Korea’s “Squid Game” actor Oh Young-soo has been found guilty of sexual misconduct, a local court said Friday, after he was charged with assaulting a woman in 2017. In 2022, the 79-year-old became the first South Korean to win a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actor in a series for his performance as a seemingly vulnerable old man in the mega-hit Netflix dystopian thriller.
The actor was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court told AFP. He was also ordered to complete 40 hours of classes on sexual violence, the court added.

The victim’s own records of the assault and her claims are “consistent … and appear to be statements that cannot be made without actually experiencing them,” judge Jeong Yeon-ju said, according to the court.
Oh was indicted in 2022 without detention on charges of sexually assaulting a woman, who has not been identified, on two occasions.
The incidents took place when Oh was staying in a rural area for a theatre performance in 2017, on a walking path and in front of the victim’s residence, respectively, according to the Suwon District Court.
“Squid Game,” a series that depicts a dark world where marginalized individuals are forced to compete in deadly versions of traditional children’s games, quickly gained immense popularity on Netflix.
Within less than four weeks of its release in 2021, it attracted a staggering 111 million viewers.
The show’s success has amplified South Korea’s increasingly outsized influence on global popular culture, following global fame won by the likes of K-pop band BTS and the Oscar-winning film “Parasite.”
Multiple figures in South Korea’s film industry – including late filmmaker Kim Ki-duk and actor Cho Jae-hyun — have faced sexual assault allegations.
Black women are consistently underestimated, disregarded, and overlooked in the entertainment industry, but I’ve been so inspired by Black stars’ joy and self-love this awards season. From Quinta Brunson to Niecy Nash, our favorite actresses have already celebrated their well-deserved flowers — and I’ll be watching the upcoming Grammys to see if that trend continues.
If you’ve missed all the bright points of this awards season, let me remind you of what’s happened so far. During the Golden Globes on Jan. 7, we saw Ayo Edebiri take home her first major award as this year’s best female actor in a television series for her work in “The Bear.” Her acceptance speech made its way around social media for her relatable delivery — but mainly for her acknowledgment of her agents and managers’ assistants. Despite this being a momentous occasion in her career, she took the time to humbly thank and uplift those in “smaller positions” who make doing what she loves possible.
The following week, entertainers reunited for the 2023 Emmys. It felt serendipitous that the show landed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, given that multiple Black women won in their respective categories while simultaneously breaking long-standing records.
The brilliantly hilarious Quinta Brunson took home the award for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for her role as Janine Teagues in “Abbott Elementary,” becoming only the second Black woman to earn this achievement. Isabel Sanford won in 1981 for her iconic role in “The Jeffersons,” so Brunson broke the 43-year-long streak with her win. That’s far too long a gap. In the intervening years, so many Black women have been snubbed for their work: Tracee Ellis Ross was nominated five times for the award for her work on “Black-ish,” for example, while Issa Rae was nominated three times for “Insecure.”
Brunson actually broke two records that night — because of Edebiri’s win for best supporting actress, the pair were the first Black women to hold both comedy titles simultaneously in Emmys history. We also can’t talk about history-makers without mentioning Keke “Keep a Bag” Palmer. She was the first Black woman to not only be nominated but win an Emmy for outstanding host of a game show. As the host of NBC’s “Password,” she was also the first woman in 15 years to win in the category. Palmer’s win spoke volumes to me; I never realized how much game shows were a male-dominated space until I saw her win. With one award, she broke a streak for all women — while also breaking a glass ceiling for Black women.
The true showstopper of the 2024 Emmys was Nash. After winning her first Primetime Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a limited series for “Dahmer,” she gave an awe-inspiring speech — you’ve probably seen it all over social media by now. What made the moment so special is that it wasn’t about an outside force recognizing her star power; she did that herself. “I want to thank me — for believing in me and doing what they said I could not do. And I want to say to myself in front of all these beautiful people, ‘Go on girl with your bad self. You did that,’” she told the crowd. It was beautiful to see Nash unapologetically celebrating herself, especially after the incredible work she has put into her almost three-decade-long career.
She continued to accept the award on behalf of “every Black and Brown woman who has gone unheard yet overpoliced. Like Glenda Cleveland. Like Sandra Bland. Like Breonna Taylor.” Seeing Nash highlight self-love so boldly while also acknowledging the trauma that Black women in America deal with daily was incredibly poignant, and paved the way for what I hope we see more of in the entertainment industry.
“Slowly but surely, Black women are receiving their flowers.”
Looking ahead to February, we are kicking off Black History Month with the Grammys on Feb. 4 and the BAFTAs on Feb. 18. The Oscars have already come under fire for snubbing Black women, including leaving out Ava DuVernay in the director’s category for “Origin” and Fantasia Barrino and Taraji P. Henson for their roles in “The Color Purple.” But for now, I’m focusing on the monumental year we’ve already had and the celebrations that could come — specifically during the Grammys. My focus will be on Coco Jones, Victoria Monét, SZA, and Halle Bailey; these four powerhouse musicians are bound to dominate this year.
SZA is leading the pack with the most nominations — nine — for any artist this year. Her critically acclaimed sophomore album, “SOS,” is set to snag a handful of the coveted awards. And after years in the industry as a songwriter, Monét is receiving the attention she deserves for her debut studio album, “Jaguar II.” Alongside her seven nominations, her 2½-year-old daughter, Hazel, has also made history as the youngest nominee ever. Meanwhile, watching Jones being nominated for five Grammys, including best new artist, makes me extremely proud. I grew up with her and have watched her evolution in real-time. Bailey, similarly, continues to shine. Following a monumental year in which she starred as Ariel in the live-action “Little Mermaid,” her debut single, “Angel,” is up for best R&B song, making this her first solo Grammy nomination.
It is validating to see such talented Black women receive — and win — nominations for their craft. The average Black woman is told to be humble and gracious, never to boast or boldly celebrate our wins. But as Nash, Brunson, and hopefully more stars to come have proven, the tides are shifting. Slowly but surely, Black women are receiving their flowers — not only from leaders in the industry, but also from themselves.
As a young Black woman, I’m taking notes. I will proudly celebrate my wins as I work toward my dreams and continue to foster my creativity. This awards season has just started, but I am excited to see what else is in store. As Rae would say, “I’m rooting for everybody Black.”
Jennifer Aniston continues to provide hair inspiration when we least expect it. On Jan. 7, the actor attended the 2024 Golden Globes in Beverly Hills wearing a gorgeous strapless gown and a re-creation of the iconic “Rachel” haircut with which she’s become synonymous.
As she posed on the red carpet, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Aniston’s typically shoulder-blade-length hair just barely qualified as a lob, with the ends sweeping the tops of her clavicle. Choppy layers combined with her light brunette hair color had people immediately likening the new look to her famous hairstyle from the hit TV show “Friends.”
The ’90s have influenced current trends in myriad ways, but nowhere has it been more apparent than with hair. From the return of accessories like headbands to pixie cuts, the trendiest styles of today could fit into a high school yearbook from the early aughts and you would be none-the-wiser.
Aniston, who has leaned into her status as a hair icon by launching her brand LolaVie, has revisited the “Rachel” haircut a few times post-“Friends,” but this 2024 version feels almost identical to the original. If you ask us, it belongs in the beauty hall of fame. Take a closer look at Aniston’s new hair below.
The two-time Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster is speaking out to blast Generation Z, saying that they are “really annoying,” especially to work with.
Foster Rips Generation Z
“They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace,” Foster The Guardian.
“They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10:30 a.m.,’” the 61 year-old former Silence Of The Lambs actress continued. “Or in emails, I’ll tell them, ‘This is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling?’ And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’”
When asked what advice she would give young people in Hollywood, Foster replied, “They need to learn how to relax, how to not think about it so much, how to come up with something that’s theirs.”
“I can help them find that, which is so much more fun than being, with all the pressure behind it, the protagonist of the story,” added Foster, who got her start as a child star.

Daily Mail reported that Foster was immediately hit with tons of backlash for her attack Generation Z.
“Criticizing an entire generation reveals more about yourself than the actual said generation,” one social media user wrote, with another adding, “Jodie Foster s****ing on Gen Z is so very boring. Surely every single generation, as they hit late teens / early 20s was criticised for the same sorts of things? And it’s so convenient that we forget exactly how arrogant / lazy / ridiculous we were in our youth.”
“Oh, she forgot her parents generation dumping on hers,” a third user commented. “And the generation before that dumping on theirs. It’s always been that the ‘adults’ blame the kids for society while not taking responsibility for the society they were in charge of. Miss me with that.”
The backlash appears to have gotten to Foster, as she backtracked on Sunday night while walking the red carpet at the Golden Globe Awards, where she was nominated for her work in the movie Nyad. There, Foster told Entertainment Tonight that she “loves” Generation Z, pointing out that she has two sons in that age group.
“I adore them. They have all this freedom, which is wonderful but we didn’t have. We didn’t know we could say no, for example, and it’s just created a miraculous, confident, different, authentic people,” she said. “But it also makes them, you know.”
Host Kevin Frazier interjected by saying “very difficult sometimes,” to which Foster replied, “yes.”
“But you need them in order to make your phone work,” she concluded. “What can I say.”
Last month, Foster opened up to Interview Magazine about how while she struggled in her 50s, she is now feeling better than ever at 61.
“I think it’s an age thing, because I felt these huge shifts the day I turned 30 and the day I turned 60. And 60 was the best shift of all, because I was struggling in my 50s,” Foster confessed.
Foster went on to say that when she was in her 50s, she struggled with wondering if she would “do anything meaningful again,” describing “that awkward phase where everybody who’s in their late 40s or 50s is very busy getting all plumped and shooting s— into their face.”
“I didn’t want that life, but I also knew that I couldn’t compete with my old self,” she said. “So my 50s were tough.”
Foster was then stunned to find that “something happened” when she “turned 60.
“I was like, ‘I figured it out. This is good.’ There was something about going back to the work with a different attitude, I think,” she recalled. “About really enjoying supporting other people and saying to myself, ‘This is not my time. I had my time. This is their time, and I get to participate in it by giving them whatever wisdom I have.’”

The Golden Globes Awards regained its luster Monday night as the star-studded ceremony honoring standouts in television and film saw its highest ratings in years.
The 81st Annual Golden Globes Awards, broadcast live from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, averaged 9.4 million viewers, up more than 50% from last year, according to Nielsen ratings data.
Big winners included Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” which won best drama motion picture, best original score, best director, best supporting actor and best actor for Cillian Murphy, who played the lead role in the three-hour historical drama on the creation of the atomic bomb. In TV, HBO’s wildly popular “Succession” took home four awards, including best TV drama series.
Another 2023 standout, Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, won best cinematic and box office achievement, a category introduced this year. The Mattel production grossed over $635 million in the U.S. and $1.4 billion worldwide. Singer Billie Eillish and her brother, Finneas O’Connell, won best original song – motion picture for the film’s emotional ballad “What Was I Made For?”
Sunday’s broadcast on CBS was a crucial test for the revamped Globes (CBS and CBS News are both owned by Paramount Global). Following several scandals, including a 2021 Los Angeles Times exposé revealing a lack of diversity in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — the voting body for the awards — the awards were acquired by Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions and turned into a for-profit venture.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association was dissolved, and a group of some 300 entertainment journalists from around the world was formed to vote on the awards.

Selena Gomez has a (much-appreciated) habit of being seen in affordable accessories — perhaps most notably when her Only Murders in the Building character, Mabel, wears Rellery necklaces. The multi-hyphenate star made yet another case for budget-friendly fashion last night at the Golden Globes when she turned heads in a fiery-red dress by Giorgio Armani Privé and ruby-red Christian Louboutin slingback heels. Okay, maybe those weren’t exactly cheap. But as soon as she stepped off the red carpet, Gomez grabbed ahold of JW PEI’s signature Gabbi handbag in a brand-new $129 crystal iteration.
Right now, JW PEI is holding its New Year Sale, which features an extra 12% off sitewide with code 23END12 (including the Gabbi crystal handbag), BOGO 30% off with code 23END30, and free shipping on $120+ orders. That’s celebrity style at bargain prices!
Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster biopic “Oppenheimer” dominated the 81st Golden Globes, winning five awards including best drama, while Yorgos Lanthimos’ Frankenstein riff “Poor Things” pulled off an upset victor over “Barbie” to triumph in the best comedy or musical category.
If awards season has been building toward a second match-up of Barbenheimer, this round went to “Oppenheimer.” The film also won best director for Nolan, best drama actor for Cillian Murphy, best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr. and for Ludwig Göransson’s score.
“I don’t think it was a no-brainer by any stretch of the imagination to make a three-hour talky movie — R-rated by the way — about one of the darkest developments in our history,” said producer Emma Thomas accepting the night’s final award and thanking Universal chief Donna Langley.
Along with best comedy or musical, “Poor Things” also won for Emma Stone’s performance as Bella, a Victorian-era woman experiencing a surreal sexual awakening.
“I see this as a rom-com,” said Stone. “But in the sense that Bella falls in love with life itself, rather than a person. She accepts the good and the bad in equal measure, and that really made me look at life differently.”
Lily Gladstone won best actress in a dramatic film for Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Gladstone, who began her speech speaking the language of her native tribe, Blackfeet Nation, is the first Indigenous winner in the category.
“This is a historic win,” said Gladstone. “It doesn’t just belong to me.”
The Globes were in their ninth decade but facing a new and uncertain chapter. After a tumultuous few years of scandal, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was dissolved, leaving a new Globes, on a new network (CBS), to try to regain its perch as the third biggest award show of the year, after the Oscars and Grammys. Even the menu (sushi from Nobu) was remade.
“Golden Globes journalists, thank you for changing your game, therefore changing your name,” said Downey in his acceptance speech.
It got off to a rocky start. Host Jo Koy took the stage at the Beverly Hilton International Ballroom in Beverly Hills, California . The Filipino American stand-up hit on some expected topics: Ozempic, Meryl Streep’s knack for winning awards and the long-running “Oppenheimer.” (“I needed another hour.”)
After one joke flubbed, Koy, who was named host after some bigger names reportedly passed, also noted how fast he was thrust into the job.
“Yo, I got the gig 10 days ago. You want a perfect monologue?” said Koy. “I wrote some of these and they’re the ones you’re laughing at.”
Downey’s win, his third Globe, denied one to “Kenergy.” Ryan Gosling had been seen as his stiffest competition, just one of the many head-to-head contests between “Oppenheimer” and Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.” The filmmakers faced each other in the best director category, where Nolan triumphed.
It was two hours before “Barbie,” the year’s biggest hit with more than $1.4 billion in ticket sales, won an award Sunday. Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” took best song, and swiftly after, “Barbie” took the Globes’ new honor for “cinematic and box office achievement.” Some thought that award might go to Taylor Swift, whose “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” also set box-office records. Swift, though, remains winless in five Globe nods.
Margot Robbie, star and producer of “Barbie,” accepted the award in a pink gown modeled after 1977’s Superstar Barbie.
“We’d like to dedicate this to every single person on the planet who dressed up and went to the greatest place on Earth: the movie theaters,” said Robbie.
“Barbie” and “Oppenheimer,” two blockbusters brought together by a common release date, also faced off in the best screenplay category. But in an upset, Justine Triet and Arthur Harari won for the script to the French courtroom drama “Anatomy of a Fall.” Later, Triet’s film picked up best international film, too.
Though the Globes have no direct correlation with the Academy Awards, they can boost campaigns at a crucial juncture. Oscar nomination voting starts Thursday, and the twin sensations of Barbenheimer remain frontrunners.
Other contenders loom, though, like “Poor Things” and “The Holdovers.”
Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph both won for Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers.” Giamatti, reuniting with Payne two decades after “Sideways,” won best actor and Randolph won for her supporting performance as a grieving woman in the 1970s-set boarding school drama.
“Oh, Mary you have changed my life,” Randolph said of her character. “You have made me feel seen in so many ways that I have never imagined.”
Hayao Miyazaki’s “The Boy and the Heron” won best animated film, an upset over “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”
The final season of “Succession” cleaned up on the television side. It won best drama series for the third time, a mark that ties a record set by “Mad Men” and “The X-Files.” Three stars from the HBO series also won: Matt Macfadyen, Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin.
“It is bittersweet, but things like this make it rather sweeter,” said “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong.
Hulu’s “The Bear” also came away with a trio of awards, including best comedy series. Jeremy Allen White won for the second time, but this time he had company. Ayo Edebiri won her first Globe for her leading performance in the Hulu show’s second season. She thanked the assistants of her agents and managers.
“To the people who answer my emails, you’re the real ones,” said Edebiri.
“Beef” won three awards: best limited series as well as acting awards for Ali Wong and Steven Yeun.
The Globes also added a new stand-up special award. That went, surprisingly, to Ricky Gervais, who didn’t attend the show he so often hosted. Some expected Chris Rock to win for “Selective Outrage,” his stand-up response to the Will Smith slap.
A few years ago, the Golden Globes were on the cusp of collapse. After The Los Angeles Times reported that the HFPA had no Black members, Hollywood boycotted the organization. The 2022 Globes were all but canceled and taken off TV. After reforms, the Globes returned to NBC last year in a one-year deal, but the show was booted to Tuesday evening. With Jerrod Carmichael hosting, the telecast attracted 6.3 million viewers, a new low on NBC and a far cry from the 20 million that once tuned in.
The Golden Globes were acquired by Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions, which Penske Media owns, and turned into a for-profit venture. The HFPA (which typically numbered around 90 voters) was dissolved and a group of some 300 entertainment journalists from around the world now vote for the awards.
Questions still remain about the Globes’ long-term future, but their value to Hollywood studios remains providing a marketing boost to awards contenders. (The Oscars won’t be held until March 10.) This year, because of the actors and writers strikes, the Globes are airing ahead of the Emmys, which were postponed to Jan. 15.
With movie ticket sales still 20% off the pre-pandemic pace and the industry facing a potentially perilous 2024 at the box office, Hollywood needed the Golden Globes as much as it ever has.
The most comical evaluation on the Globes came from presenters Will Ferrell and Kristin Wiig, who blamed the awards body for the constant interruption of a song they found irresistible while otherwise solemnly presenting best actor in a drama.
A furious, dancing Ferrell shouted: “The Golden Globes have not changed!”
The 2024 Golden Globe Awards were filled with smiles, laughter, tears and record-breaking moments as well as some awkward ones from the presenters, winners, host and Hollywood audience. From Lily Gladstone and Ali Wong making history with their wins to host Jo Koy struggling to get laughs during his monologue and Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell showing off their dance moves onstage, here are some of the night’s most memorable moments.
‘Succession’ Ties Golden Globes Record
Succession took home the Golden Globe Award for best TV drama series Sunday — tying a record for the awards in the process. The HBO series won its third Globe in the category, following its victories at the 2020 and 2022 ceremonies. Sunday’s victory ties it with The X-Files (1994, 1996 and 1997) and Mad Men (2007-09) for the most wins for best drama at the Golden Globes. Both Succession and The Crown came into the night with a chance to tie the record. Read more here. — Rick Porter
Lily Gladstone Makes Golden Globes History
It’s been exceedingly rare for Indigenous actors to play lead roles in Hollywood, even moreso for prestige, awards-contending projects. As such, it should be little surprise that Lily Gladstone’s 2024 Golden Globe win makes her the first Indigenous actor to win an award in the ceremony’s 81-year history. In taking home best actress in a motion picture, drama for their role in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Gladstone (Blackfeet/Nimíipuu) makes history as the only Indigenous person to take home a Golden Globe. Irene Bedard is the only other actor to previously receive a nomination — for best actress in a miniseries or TV movie for 1994’s Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee — while director Taika Waititi was recognized for Jojo Rabbit’s best musical/comedy film nomination in 2020 and Reservation Dogs was nominated for best musical/comedy series in 2022.

… As Well As Ali Wong With Her Win
Ali Wong has struck gold in her first outing as a dramatic lead. The top stand-up comedian has won the 2024 Golden Globe for best actress in a limited series for her performance in Netflix’s Beef. Although Wong previously starred in the rom-com Always Be My Maybe and has a string of voice credits in animated comedies, Beef, with its darkly comic turns and existential meditations, was her first foray into substantive dramatic fare. As Amy Lau, a tightly-wound entrepreneur, wife and mother whose simmering self-loathing leads to an escalating battle of mutually assured destruction opposite Steven Yeun’s scammy contractor Danny (who also won a Golden Globe tonight), Wong, who executive produced the series, won widespread critical praise and is an Emmy nominee for the role.

Host Jo Koy Gets Defensive Amid Monologue Struggles
Well, there’s definitely been worse. First-time — and relatively last-minute — Golden Globes host Jo Koy struggled a bit to generate laughs during his monologue opening the 2024 awards show Sunday night. “I got the gig 10 days ago!” he told the Beverly Hilton’s celebrity-filled audience at one point. “You want a perfect monologue?” “Some I wrote, some other people wrote,” said Koy, who was announced as host on Dec. 21. “I wrote some of these and those are the ones you’re laughing at.” And later, after one joke got a tepid response, “That’s hilarious, I don’t care.” Read more here. — James Hibberd
‘Barbie’ Wins Award for New Golden Globes Category
More than five years after the Academy Awards introduced (and eventually pulled) a new category recognizing blockbuster films in an attempt to combat falling ratings, the Golden Globes have handed out its own award honoring high-grossing movies. Star Wars star Mark Hamill, who was at the center of one of the first blockbusters nearly 50 years ago, presented the award to Barbie, the top-grossing film of 2023. “Thank you so much for the Golden Globes for creating an award that celebrates movie fans,” said star and producer Margot Robbie, standing next to director and co-writer Greta Gerwig. Read more here. — Aaron Couch
Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell Showcase Dance Moves on Stage
Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell just couldn’t seem to get through their “serious” presentation at the 2024 Golden Globes Sunday and jokingly blamed “whoever is putting on this show.” While presenting the award for best male actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy (Paul Giamatti won for The Holdovers), the duo seemed to keep getting interrupted by a specific musical melody. “I’m not sure what that was,” Ferrell said after getting cut off mid-sentence the first time. As he continued, “Tonight we applaud the outstanding nominees, legends like Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon…” the Barbie actor got interrupted by the same song again. The pair eventually accepted their fate and just went with it, showing off their dance movies to the quite silly melody. Read more here. — Carly Thomas
“Barbie” and “Succession” both came into the night with nine nominations, tied for the most of any other movie or TV show. “Barbie” is competing for the best musical or comedy motion picture award, while “Succession” is nominated in the best television drama series category.
“Oppenheimer,” the other half of the box office phenomenon dubbed Barbenheimer, scored eight nominations, the second most of any movie or TV show. “Oppenheimer” is nominated for best drama motion picture, up against five other movies, including Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic “Maestro.”
This is the first Golden Globes being held since the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which used to run the award ceremony, disbanded following a series of scandals. The Golden Globes assets were sold to Dick Clark Productions, which had long co-produced the show with the HFPA.
The ceremony is being broadcast live on CBS and streamed live on Paramount+ and the CBS app. CBS and Paramount+ are part of Paramount Global, which also owns CBS News.

It was a night of glitz and glamour for Hollywood’s best movies and TV shows, along with their starring celebrities, at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards.
Stars from the silver screen and TV world, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jeremy Allen White, Margot Robbie and Emma Stone, were all present in the hope of winning a trophy for their performances. Even musician Taylor Swift, who was nominated for her The Eras Tour documentary, was in attendance.
Comedian and Easter Sunday star Jo Koy handled Golden Globes hosting duties this year, cracking jokes while he attempted to keep the three-hour ceremony on schedule.

The first award of the night, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role, was handed to Da’Vine Joy Randolph for her emotional portrayal of Mary Lamb in The Holdovers.
Robert Downey Jr. then took home the award’s male counterpart for Oppenheimer. He won laughs from the Golden Globes crowd with his short, snappy speech — eased by the “beta blockers” he joked about taking prior.
After a much-anticipated final season of Succession, the TV spectacle earned the Golden Globe for Best Television Series, Drama.
Matthew Macfadyen won Succession‘s first award of the night for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Television Series.
“I just adored every second playing the weird and wonderful human grease stain that is Tom Wambsgans and — Tom Wambsgans, CEO, I should say,” Macfadyen said in his speech. “God help us.”
Later, Kieran Culkin also won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama. Culkin told fellow nominee Pedro Pascal to playfully “suck it” during his acceptance speech. He dedicated the award to the Succession team, his agent, his wife and his mother.
Sarah Snook also won a Golden Globe for Succession. It was her second win for her role as the fierce Shiv Roy.
Newly minted heartthrob Jeremy Allen White took home his second-ever Golden Globe for The Bear. White thanked the team behind the popular Chicago-based show for his win.
“I must have done something right in this life to be in your company,” White said of his castmates.

As for the big screen, this year was all about the massively popular films, Barbie and Oppenheimer.
Margot Robbie of Barbie lost the Best Female Actor in a Comedy award to Emma Stone for her role in Poor Things.
But Cillian Murphy came out on top for his performance as the “father of the atomic bomb” in Oppenheimer. The actor, with lipstick on his nose, praised “visionary” director Christopher Nolan and thanked him for 20 years of working together.

For the first time, the Golden Globes included an award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, which was awarded to Barbie. Robbie dedicated the award to moviegoers who dressed up in pink to see the film in theatres — and thanked Ken actor Ryan Gosling “for going full beach” in the flick.
During his Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy acceptance speech, Paul Giamatti of The Holdovers said it must be the first time the Golden Globes has given the award for the portrayal of a character who “smells like fish.” Giamatti, who plays a teacher in the film, dedicated the award to real-life educators everywhere.
However, The Holdovers lost out to Poor Things for the Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy honours.
Lily Gladstone became emotional during her winning Best Female Actor in a Drama speech. Gladstone spoke in both English and in the Indigenous Blackfoot language. She highlighted the importance of telling Indigenous stories within film and said the award is not just for her, but for all “rez kids” and the Osage nation that Killers of the Flower Moon is about.
But in the end, it was Oppenheimer that took home the Best Motion Picture, Drama award — which was presented by Oprah.

The stars were out and ready to mingle — plus give us all the outfit inspo.
First-time Golden Globes host Jo Koy is a comedian and actor promising an exciting night when he hosts the awards show on Sunday, Jan. 7.
Koy, 52, said on “CBS Mornings” that he’s been preparing non-stop for the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards since he was announced as the host just a few weeks ago.
“I haven’t slept or done anything social since the announcement,” he said. “I’ve been binge-watching the whole time, just non-stop watching everything, every category, just watching everything.”
When he was officially introduced as the host of the Golden Globes in December, Koy said in a statement that he was “so excited” to be hosting one of the entertainment industry’s biggest shows, a sentiment he echoed on “CBS Mornings.”
“I’ve hit every single stage you can think of in this world, and this is going to be the biggest one,” Koy said. “I”m just excited to go on stage.”

That moment arrives Sunday at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) when the Golden Globes get underway at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, broadcasting live on CBS television and streaming on Paramount+ and the CBS app.
Who is Jo Koy?
Jo Koy is a stand-up comedian who has been putting on shows since 1994. He was born Joseph Glenn Herbert in Tacoma, Washington. His mother immigrated from the Philippines, and he has spoken about their experience with anti-Asian racism. After his family moved to Las Vegas, Koy got his start in stand-up performing at a local coffeehouse.
In “Jo Koy: In His Elements,” a 2020 comedy special released by Netflix, he said Jo was a nickname given to him by his aunt, and that he used to perform under his real name but “people would laugh.” He said he was talking to a cousin about a stage name back in 1989 when he heard his aunt call him “Jo Koy,” a nickname she had used for him for years, and realized that could be it. In the special, Koy said his aunt told him she had actually been saying “Jo Ko” — “ko” is a Tagalog phrase that means “my,” Koy explained, so his aunt’s nickname for him translated to “My Jo.”
Koy has one child, Joseph Herbert Jr., from a previous relationship with singer Angie King. Koy told “CBS Mornings” that his son has been “by his side” while he prepared for his big night at the Golden Globes, calling his preparation process a “family affair.”
Koy recently dated Chelsea Handler, and was a regular on her talk show, “Chelsea Lately.” The two confirmed their relationship on social media in 2021, but Handler said in a 2022 post that they had broken up.
What movies and shows has Jo Koy been in?
Koy made his television debut in BET’s “Comic View,” a stand-up comedy TV series. He has also appeared on late-night talk shows and as a series regular on “Chelsea Lately.”
Koy has had multiple comedy specials. His first two, “Don’t Make Him Angry” and “Lights Out,” were released by Comedy Central. Netflix also released the specials “Live From Seattle,” “Comin’ In Hot,” and “In His Elements.” His most recent special, “Live from the LA Forum,” premiered on the streaming service in 2022.
Beyond his comedy specials and talk show appearances, Koy has acted in several projects. Since 2018, he has appeared in eight films, including Disney’s 2023 remake of “Haunted Mansion.” In 2022, he starred in the comedy “Easter Sunday.”

Is Jo Koy doing a stand-up tour?
Jo Koy is currently on tour. His next tour date is for Jan. 12 in St. Louis, Missouri. He has dozens of tour dates set across the United States, including a sold-out Los Angeles show. In May, the tour will cross the pond and make international stops across Europe and in the United Arab Emirates.
