The good, the bad and the Tuesday of the 2023 Globes (2025)

We've been trained to expect awards show glitz on Sundays, so what happened when the embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association put their Golden Globe Awards back on broadcast television, on a Tuesday?

We've been trained to expect those on Sundays, when you can spend a lazy evening half-watching E! reporters vamp in formal wear for hours on end, waiting for stars to arrive as you do other things. Sundays are elegant. Tuesdays are not.

There were gowns and suits and bow ties and diamonds, clavicle bones and updos. Eddie Redmayne even had an oversized Carrie Bradshaw-esque satin flower affixed to his suit lapel. On the sodden silver carpet, Laverne Cox swooned over Austin Butler and Michelle Yeoh's nominated performances, in "Elvis" and "Everything Everywhere All At Once," respectively. No one seemed very worried about being there.

Ke Huy Quan, winning the first award of the night for his big comeback role in "Everything Everywhere All At Once," warmed hearts shouting out Spielberg for giving him his first opportunity. The cameras were ready to cut back to the director, who cheered on the kid he directed so long ago in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

Bassett and Quinta Brunson learned the hard way that reading acceptance speeches off their phones was perhaps a mistake as family and friends texted them congratulations for their win. Colin Farrell used his own acceptance speech to compliment Ana de Armas' performance in "Blonde," as well as all of his "Banshees of Inisherin" collaborators, down to Jenny the donkey. Both he and Yeoh scolded the piano music that started to play them off.

But Carmichael kept the room on edge even well into the show as he came out, some 90 minutes in, holding "Tom Cruise's three returned Golden Globe statuettes" and suggesting they could be used in exchange for "the safe return of Shelly Miscavige," Scientology leader David Miscavige's wife who hasn't been seen in public for years.
