It appears the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is getting a second chance as big-name stars turned out for the 2023 Golden Globe Awards. Hosted by Jerrod Carmichael, the HFPA’s dicey reputation didn’t keep NBC from airing the 2023 show after canceling the event in 2022.

The Banshees of Inisherin went into the night with the most nominations of any film and wound up winning in the Best Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy (Colin Farrell), and Best Screenplay categories. Steven Spielberg’s most personal film to date, The Fabelmans, was named Best Picture – Drama and Spielberg took home the Best Director trophy.

Abbott Elementary was nominated in five categories, topping the list on the television side going into the night. The half-comedy earned Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy (Quinta Brunson), and Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Musical-Comedy or Drama Television Series (Tyler James Williams).

HBO’s first Game of Thrones prequel, House of the Dragon, pulled off a win in the Best Television Series – Drama. And season two of The White Lotus anthology series picked up Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television and Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television (Jennifer Coolidge).
