Golden Globes 2023: Winners, best moments and highlights

What you need to know about the 80th Golden Globe Awards

• The awards show was back on television this year. NBC opted not to air the 2022 ceremony in the wake of mounting criticism surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization that puts on the event.
• During Tuesday's show, HFPA President Helen Hoehne alluded to the changes the organization has made to improve the diversity of its membership. “We commit to continue strengthening our partnership with Hollywood and with the worldwide fans who celebrate the best on film and television," she said. "We will continue to support groups that amplify a variety of voices and continue to add representation to our organization from around the world as we did this past year."
• Host Jerrod Carmichael also touched on the HFPA's lack of diversity in his opening monologue. "I'm here because I'm Black," he said in reference to last year's controversy. The association "did not have a single Black member until George Floyd died," Carmichael said. Twitter users appeared impressed with Carmichael's remarks — his name trended on Twitter after the monologue.
• Brendan Fraser, nominated for best actor, motion picture, in “The Whale,” pledged never to return to the event after he alleged he was groped in 2003 by Philip Berk, a former president of the group behind the show. Berk denies the allegation. Other stars showed up in full force Tuesday.
• So what shows and movies won big? On the film side, “The Banshees of Inisherin” took home the award for best picture, musical or comedy. It was the most nominated film at the Golden Globes, with eight nods. The final award of the night — best motion picture, drama — went to Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film "The Fabelmans." For TV, “House of the Dragon” won the Golden Globe for best drama television series, and "Abbott Elementary" won the award for best television series, musical or comedy. “The White Lotus” also picked up several awards. Showrunner Ryan Murphy and actor Eddie Murphy were also both honored.
