The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin won the Best Picture prizes at the Golden Globes on Tuesday evening, where the feature acting prizes went to Austin Butler (Elvis), Cate Blanchett (TÁR), Colin Farrell (The Banshees of Inisherin), Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), and Everything Everywhere All at Once duo Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association had comedian Jarrod Carmichael host the Golden Globes, where The Banshees of Inisherin entered the evening with eight nominations, while Everything Everywhere All at Once had six, ultimately picking up a pair of acting prizes. Carmichael took a few shots at Tom Cruise, who notably returned his Globes statues in 2021, and was not nominated, nor did he attend the ceremony on behalf of Top Gun: Maverick.
Brendan Fraser didn’t attend the ceremony for a different reason despite being nominated, as The Whale star previously accused former HFPA head Philip Berk of groping him. As a result, it was no surprise that Butler won with his hip-swiveling performance as the ill-fated singer.
On the other hand, Bassett was something of a surprise winner with her regal turn in the Black Panther sequel, though it was her fellow supporting actor Quan who upstaged everyone with his speech, which he began by thanking Steven Spielberg, who would go on to win both Best Director and Best Picture – Drama.
It was Spielberg who first cast Quan in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which led to his casting in The Goonies. Quan grew up wondering if he was actually talented or just a lucky kid, and his Globes win was validation for sticking with the craft and never giving up his dream of being an actor. I can’t imagine how many offers are going to come his way in the wake of Everything Everywhere All at Once.
The Golden Globes have zero bearing on the Oscars, of course, as there is no overlap between voters, though some pundits will argue that it remains an important bellwether for the season, even after the slew of negative headlines surrounding the HFPA over the last few years.
On the TV side, Abbott Elementary cleaned up, as Quinta Brunson took home multiple statues, as did The White Lotus team, while limited series such as Black Bird, Dahmer, and The Dropout also fared well.
