On a night that saw big wins for TV shows The White Lotus, Abbott Elementary and House Of The Dragon - with The Banshees of Inisherin and Steven Spielberg's The Fabelmans taking home the top film prizes - one of the main talking points ahead of the ceremony had been the question of who would turn up.event was held in private, with no TV broadcast and winners announced on social media - and many stars chose not to acknowledge their successes.
It followed a Los Angeles Times expose in 2021 which found that organisers the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had no black members voting for the awards. The investigation also included allegations of inappropriate"freebies" influencing votes. "I'll tell you why I'm here - I'm here because I'm black," said US comedian Carmichael as he opened the event in Los Angeles last night.
"This show, the Golden Globe Awards did not air last year, because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which I won't say they were a racist organisation, but they didn't have a single black member until George Floyd died - do with that information what you will.
