Jan. 10 (UPI) — Abbott Elementary, House of the Dragon, The Banshees of Inisherin and The Fabelmans were the big winners at the Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Tuesday.
Quinta Brunson won for Best Actress and Tyler James Williams for Best Supporting Actor in a TV Comedy for Abbott Elementary.
“Thank you for believing in a show about a group of teachers from Philadelphia. It has resonated with the world in a way that I could not even have imagined it would have,” said Brunson, who also created the series. “But let’s be real — I did imagine it. That’s why I sold it to you.”
Jeremy Allen White won the Globe for Best Actor in a TV Comedy for The Bear.
The Best Actress in a TV Drama prize went to Zendaya for Euphoria and the Best Actor in a TV Drama trophy went to Kevin Costner for Yellowstone.
House of the Dragon was named Best TV Drama.
Colin Farrell scored the Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy Film for Banshees of Inisherin and told presenter Ana de Armas that he cried himself to sleep after watching her tragic Marilyn Monroe biopic, Blonde.
“It messed me up so bad. Not a joke, but you’re welcome to laugh!” he told the audience before thanking writer-director Martin McDonagh and co-star Brendan Gleeson for their extraordinary collaboration on not only Inisherin, but also 2008’s In Bruges. “You changed the trajectory of my life forever.”
McDonagh later won the Globe for Best Screenplay and the film was declared Best Comedy Film.
Austin Butler won the Globe for Best Actor in a Drama Film for Elvis and Steven Spielberg was voted Best Director for The Fabelmans, which also earned the Best Drama Film accolade.
Cate Blanchett, who was not present at the event, won the Best Actress in a Drama Film award for Tar and Angela Bassett won the Best Supporting Actress in a Film for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Ke Huy Quan and his co-star Michelle Yeoh earned the honors for Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress in a Comedy Film, respectively, for Everything Everywhere All at Once.
“It’s been an amazing journey and an incredible fight to be here today,” Yeoh said of her career, which has spanned more than 40 years. “But I think it’s been worth it.”
Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio was named Best Animated Film and Julia Garner won Best Supporting Actress in a TV drama for Ozark.
Midway through the show, actor Sean Penn introduced a video message showing Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussing what the world was like when the Globes were established decades ago.
“The second World War wasn’t over yet, but the tide was turned, all knew who would win. There were still battles and tears ahead, it was then when the Golden Globes awards appeared to honor the best performers of 1943,” Zelenkyy said.
“It is now 2023. The war in Ukraine is not over yet but the tide is turning. And it is already clear who will win. There are still battles and tears ahead, but now I can definitely tell you who are the best in the previous year — it was you. The free people of the free world. Those who united around the support of the free Ukrainian people in our common struggle for freedom,” he added. “There will be no third world war, it is not a trilogy. Ukraine will stop the Russian aggression on our land.”
Jerrod Carmichael hosted the show, which was presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to recognize excellence in film and television. It aired on NBC.
Presenters included Billy Porter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Natasha Lyonne, Quentin Tarantino, Tracy Morgan, Claire Danes, Henry Golding, Hilary Swank, Jenna Ortega, Jennifer Hudson, Letitia Wright, Regina Hall, and Salma Hayek.
Jennifer Coolidge brought the house down when she took the stage to introduce the Best Supporting TV Actress nominees and ended up confessing her anxieties about speaking in public and how she almost backed out of participating.
“I got very, very nervous and then I thought, ‘I’m not doing this,'” the star recalled, explaining that after reassurances from the telecast’s producers that she would have all the support she needed, she agreed to help out. “I’m feeling really good right now because I haven’t screwed up yet.”
More than an hour later, she took home the Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie for White Lotus.
Eddie Murphy received the Cecil B. DeMille Award, while Ryan Murphy was honored with the Carol Burnett Award.
The HFPA presents the awards each year.
NBC didn’t broadcast the event last year due to criticism of the organization for the lack of diversity in its ranks and transparency in its business practices.
The HFPA has since addressed these concerns and signed a one-year contract with NBC in September.
Comedy Central has set dates for the first five guest hosts that will usher in the next chapter of The Daily Show. The award-winning series will return to the network on Tuesday, January 17th at 11pm ET/PT.
Executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson of the hit Starz series BMF has indicated he plans “to expand the BMF universe with three spinoffs.” No titles and details were given, other than the universe will be dubbed “BMF Immortal.”
Additionally, Heather Zuhlke has been named interim showrunner of the drama series as creator Randy Huggins “will be taking a step back following an unexpected health complication.”

Netflix is the definitive home for all things comedy. Live events are one facet of Netflix’s unmatched ecosystem for comedic talent, as the entertainment company continues to invest in scripted comedy for TV and film; stand-up; sketch; comedy formats; and animation.
The family of Brandon “Boogie B” Montrell, the New Orleans-born comedian who was shot dead — inadvertently, police suspect — outside the Rouses grocery store in New Orleans’ Central Business District, blamed political leaders Saturday for his killing.
“My son was not just the victim of a stray bullet,” Sherilyn Price said in a statement released by family attorney Juan LaFonta. “He’s the victim of decades of neglect that have left New Orleans’ youth with no hope for a future and with no real fear of consequences. It’s past time for leaders in our city and all over to do their jobs. It matters who the president is, who the governor is and who the mayor is. Leaders create opportunities – including the opportunity to live in peace without fear of random violence.”
Montrell, 43, was fatally wounded Friday afternoon while sitting in a car in the parking lot of the Rouses Market at 701 Baronne St. Investigators doubt he was the intended target of the shooting, which disrupted shopping and rush-hour traffic in the CBD.
Police released surveillance photographs of two suspects and a getaway car, and a photo of a woman they want to question. They have not announced any arrests.

Montrell was born in New Orleans but spent much of his childhood in Tampa, Florida. On returning to Louisiana, he attended Alfred Bonnabel High School in Kenner and Delgado Community College.
After Hurricane Katrina waylaid the New Orleans region in 2005, he moved to Washington D.C, where he became a professional comedian and even recorded a hit song, “Catch the Wall,” with his cousin, the recording artist Hotboy Ronald, the family statement said.
His website says his comedic influences were Richard Pryor, Martin Lawrence, and Eddie Murphy, among others.
Montrell performed as a professional comedian in Washington, New York, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, and recently moved to Los Angeles. He was visiting his family for the holidays when he was killed Friday.
“My comedy comes from my struggles in life. My ability to take my pain and give others laughter is my motivation,” Montrell said on his website.
Said LaFonta: “Folks need to understand that what leads to horrors like this isn’t greed, it isn’t drugs and it isn’t violent tendencies. It’s the failure of our city’s leaders to provide proper and even minimal support for families and youth.”
