The 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards were held this week, marking the return of the prestigious awards show after a period of controversy and criticism.
The ceremony was held at The Beverly Hilton and featured a star-studded red carpet. Colin Farrell won the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his role in “The Banshees of Inisherin.” In his acceptance speech, Farrell thanked his co-star Brendan Gleeson, saying “I just love you so much, I love you so much.” He also gave a shout out to one of his non-nominated co-stars, a donkey named “Banshees.”
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which organizes the Golden Globes, hoped that the 80th ceremony would be a return to form after several years marred by both the COVID-19 pandemic and public criticism. The awards faced heated backlash following a series of Los Angeles Times reports which found the organization to be lacking in ethical practices and diversity in its ranks.
The ceremony was a success, with many of the stars in attendance expressing their joy at being able to come together and celebrate the best of Hollywood. “I never expect a film to work,” Farrell said in his acceptance speech. “I get to cohabitate this creative space with you every day.”
The Golden Globe Awards have been a staple of Hollywood for decades, and this year’s ceremony was a testament to the resilience of the awards show and the industry as a whole.
